Late yesterday afternoon I was sent an AT&T Tilt, and I put together an unboxing and basic setup video. Here it is...(warning: the audio level is quite high because I was close to the video camera microphone, so you may want to turn down your volume level a bit ;-)).



Hopefully tomorrow I'll do a video of the features - any requests for what you'd like me to cover?

Very cool - I'm in desperate need of a new phone and have been waiting for something like this for a couple months now. My only questions...

Where is the Glofiish X800? Will it be making a US debut anytime soon?

If not I will probably be getting this, but I soooo wanted VGA.

Thanks Jason,

I have the 8525 and love it but I'm considering upgrading (for the gps...)

One question though; what happend to the headphones? The Hermes came with them and I hacked 'em up to get audio out through the micro usb jack into my car. Does the Tilt have the same funky audio out (in the usb port)?

No front camera? I guess ATT has to figure out how to charge us for video calls first :devilboy:

[rzanology]

i got a request for ya jason....can you look over the im app it comes with? i suspect its that madness that works via sms. Not that it bothers me, as i have unlimited text any way. but im curious as to how well it works in terms of speed and delivery of the im message itself.

And the reason anyone with ATT 8525 would upgrade and extend their contract or get stuck with a 2 year contract is..... ????? More Ram or tilt??
8525 is a great phone. I am using HTC Mogul now (just because of chip data on sprint) and I am not that thrilled with the battery and overall performance of the coveted Qualcomm dual core chipset.

With that kind of endorsement, I doubt they'd consider it advertising :mrgreen:

Nice video. Pretty sad that AT&T went cheapo with the packaging - the TyTN II packaging made me feel special (Of course I'm sure some of our US readers will argue that saving $300+ from the price of a TyTN II to the Tilt will make them feel special as well!)

Yes, the GPS please! Specifically, does the GPS require the use of TeleNav, or can I load any GPS capable software without having to pay AT&T the monthly subscription fee?

As a side note, I'm really torn about which carrier I'll use. I'm on T-Mobile right now and have a very inexpensive unlimited data plan without a contract. So, I can buy an unlocked Tytn II at a hefty premium with all of the features that HTC saw fit to include and maintain my carrier (EDGE speeds), or I can purchase a much cheaper subsidized device from AT&T, with some features removed/disabled, at a higher monthly cost with much faster data speeds.

Decisions, decisions...

I'd be interested in knowing the differences between the AT&T version and the HTC version.

What has AT&T disabled/removed? What has AT&T added?

I'm currently in a 2 year contract until 2/2008 - so whichever one I get I'll pay a steep price for - so the decision for me comes down to features.

Ditto on the two posters above: GPS functionality and crippling. I will NEVER pay a carrier to use GPS built into a device.

Also, any notes on what kind of extra crap they put in there that took so long to customize, and can it be removed?
