PPC6800 vs tilt

[pavetim]

I have the AT&T tilt I like the phone but am pretty unhappy with AT&T coverage so far. My alltel was much better. I'm thinking of going with the PPC6800 from alltel. What are the diff in these 2 phones. I know about the camera and obviously the looks. Would the PPC6800 perform worse than the tilt?

well it has half the ram but there are many good roms available for it. i am not sure what you are wanting to use it for but i have had one for 8 months and i love it. i recently aquired a ppc-6900 and am in love with this phone like i was with my ppc-6800. all depends on what you wanna use it for.

What is the 6900? Well I don't talk on the phone much I use it mainly for texting, picutre messaging, pictures, and just playing around on the net.

The 6900 is the Touch (aka Vogue). If you liked the form factor for the Tilt, I would recommend the 6800 as the 6900 has no slide-out keyboard. It may not seem like it from the specs (2MP camera vs. 3MP, half the RAM...) but it is a very close second. A co-worker of mine has the Tilt and I personally think it's a great device. I don't like the fact that the 6800 doesn't have a similar rubberized finish (even my Sprint Q had it...), but the Seidio case makes up for this. The image quality can be brought up to a comparable level once you install the CAB file that's floating around with the Touch's ported camera software (not sure about Alltel 6800 compatibility though). I haven't had many issues with the RAM. I get the occasional leak, but this has been less of an issue since I started using Oxios Hibernate to reclaim some memory. The Sprint 6800 doesn't have MMS capability out of the box, not sure about the Alltel, but sMMS is a good workaround.

If the Tilt was available in CDMA it probably would be the phone of choice over the Mogul simply because of the Memory, tilt screen and better camera.
That being said, the Mogul is still a very decent choice. One thing that probably is in the Moguls favor is the networks (Sprint, VZN, Alltell, etc) and the amount of customization you can do with the ROMs.
