HTC Tilt2 Officially Available on AT&T, Priced [QWERTY-equipped Tilt 2 Runs WinMo 6.5, Has 3.6-inch WVGA Display]

If this week is going to be about Verizon, the Motorola Droid and the CLIQ, last week’s top stories in the mobile industries had HTC on the front page, with the HD2 (Leo) and the Tilt 2 in the spotlight. Speaking of the HTC Tilt2, the handset which was rumored for an October 18th release date on AT&T was late by one day and just got official with the US carrier, starting today.

For those who don’t remember it, the quad-band HTC Tilt2 is a rather sleek smartphone that runs Windows Mobile 6.5. It comes with a 3.6-inch WVGA display, a 3.2 megapixel camera with zoom (4x), a full duplex speakerphone and a five row QWERTY keyboard with tilt-up display (hence the name) that makes texting and mailing an easy job.

There’s also a built-in FM radio, Xpress Mail for both personal and corporate email, 3G, Blutooth and USB connectivity, and a 1500 hi capacity mAhr battery with up to 8.5 hours of talk time and 20 days in stand-by.

Definitely not an entry level mobile to go with, the new HTC Tilt 2 will definitely appeal to the youngsters. Too bad is going to be priced on AT&T from $349.99 after a mail-in rebate and a signed contract with your name on it.
