Man, I gotta say that I'm surprised to see so much hate on such a great phone. I just came to it from an LG Incite that I've been struggling with for a year and a half. I say struggling not because it didn't perform well, but because the small screen was too much for my 51 year old eyes. I bought my Tilt 2 brand new from a private party (off Craig's List) because I didn't want to extend my AT$T contract or lose my $15 unlimited data plan. I've been using a WinMo device since version 3 that came on my Viewsonic V37 PDA and I'm comfortable with it. The Tilt 2 is everything I wanted and I went looking before I decided on it. Droid Incredible...nice, but not worth switching to Verizon for. HD2...awesome, but only available on T-Mobile here. Not happening. And how do you carry that monster around?
I use my phone to track my mountain bike rides while I listen to music on my S9s. The Tilt 2 is just the right size. Not too bulky, but not so small that I have to wait until I get home to my reading glasses to use it. I had to do a hard reset last week, but that was my fault for going overboard trying different cabs. That temptation is high given the number of them that are out there. Developer support waning? Marketplace, CabXpress, and OpenMarket would all beg to differ.
I'm very happy with my Tilt 2, but I have to wonder if the experience is different because it is a GSM model on AT$T. Seems like the real whining comes from the Sprint users, mostly. Perish the thought, but maybe AT$T got it right with this phone. It would be a first. Now, if only I didn't have to compete for bandwidth on their network with all those iPhone tards.
