HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T)

After a long wait, the HTC Tilt II (Touch Pro2) is finally available on AT&T.  Sporting the 3.6-inch tilting touchscreen and roomy QWERTY keyboard that we've come to know and love in the Touch Pro2 line, it's available for purchase online or in retail stores for $299.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a new two-year agreement.  As the last member to the party (better late than never, I always say), at least the device offers Windows Mobile 6.5 out of the box.  Still, is $299.99 a reasonable price, or will we see it eventually lowered to $199.99 to compete with Verizon's pricing?

Amazon has the Tilt 2 for $149. That is a great price for this phone.

I went to my local at&t retail location yesterday and played with this phone. First thing, it's pretty big, but not as big as I thought, but it's still not a pocket-friendly phone. Second, the gloss back is perfect, it's not a fingerprint magnet and I doubt it'll be easy to scratch-doesn't feel as cheap as the Pure. The keyboard is pretty amazing, you can just freestyle any kind of garbage on it and you'll see that it's really smooth to text on. The phone is really snappy, I think TouchFlo has something to do with that. The browser loads pages fast, faster than the Pure [that's what turned me off w/ the Pure, really laggy] I might pick this up come Jan, but we'll see what at&t has up it's sleeves for holiday...

the pricing is pretty ridiculous, but still, imma save up to buy this fone, both the pure and the tilt 2 are beautifully sleek fones, but the pure has too small of a touchscreen keyboard, luckily enough the tilt 2 comes with a slide out keypad, so i think id rather get the tilt 2

Beautiful. I think this is the best of the four U.S. versions . . . truest to the original, unlocked, GSM version.

Right. I couldn't agree more. I just wish they would have kept the number row...

i saw this same phone at my mall and it cost $199 im pretty sure it was at&t, unless it was verizon, if it was than they stole all of at&t's phones, including iphone, and the carriers color

you might find it for the $199 price if you look around, like how WalMart's prices for the phones off contract are ridiculously cheap..

I think that I'll stick to getting the Pure. It has an excelerometer, 5.0 MP camera, and it's cheaper than the Tilt 2.

that keyboard, has to be the ugliest thing ive seen. i like at&t's screen design, but imo the t-mobile keyboard looks the best, just need to tweak the colors.
