  • AT&T Tilt retail box

    The AT&T Tilt (aka TyTN II/HTC Kaiser) is a new Windows Mobile 6 Professional device that runs on a fast 400 MHz processor with 3.5G support, integrated WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The display tilts up so you can put it into "laptop" mode.

  • Back of AT&T retail box

    The back of the box lists the device features and more.

  • AT&T Tilt name is for real

    Rumors of the device have swirled around for a long time and it was nice to finally see the Tilt name on the box.

  • Unboxing step 1

    Opening the top flap reveals the protected Tilt and Getting Started guide. The Tilt is very well packaged and unboxing it was enjoyable.

  • Guides and materials

    You will find a Getting Started Guide, a Quick Start Guide, Getting Started Disc, and flyers from AT&T Mobile Music (branded emusic store) and Napster for music content.

  • Cables, stylus, battery, etc.

    The rest of the box contents include the li-ion polymer battery, AC charger, mini-USB cable, and spare stylus.

  • Battery revealed

    The device has a 1350 mAh battery that provides for a full day of usage.

  • Back cover removed

    The battery is accessed by removing the entire back cover. You can see some of the other internals when you remove the back too.

  • GPS radio and camera

    A rubber cover is labeled GPS on the back of the device. Adjacent to this is the 3 megapixel digital camera and mono speaker.

  • AT&T Tilt in standard closed mode

    The Tilt looks like a fairly standard Phone Edition device in this mode. It is sleek and very professional.

  • Tilt in laptop mode

    The Tilt makes a great media viewing device with the unique flip hinge.

  • Keyboard showing the number keypad

    The number keypad keys have a white background instead of black so they stand out on the device. The keys are rubberized and quite flat on the device.

  • Left side of the keyboard

    There is a FN key (in blue), shift, Start, and OK keys in the bottom left corner.

  • Power button

    The power button is recessed enough to prevent accidental pressing when you are using it.

  • Bottom of the devic

    A microSD card slot, lanyard loop, HTC usb connector and soft reset button are found on the bottom.

  • Top left buttons

    There is a Push to Talk button, scroll wheel, and OK button on the upper left side.

  • Lower right side

    On the lower right you will find the camera button and stylus silo.

  • AT&T Tilt in hand

    The device is a bit hefty, but feels quite solid in your hand.

  • SIM card slot

    Unlike most devices where the SIM card is located close to the battery, the SIM card is under the display and accessed when you slide it open.

  • Tilt hinge, view 1

    There are two stout hinges on the back of the device that feel quite durable and well constructed.

  • Tilt hinge, view 2

    Hopefully, the tilt hinge stays solid after extended usage.

  • Side view of tilted display

    The display tilts to about 50 degrees.

  • Front angled view of Tilt

    As you can see it appears to be a mini-laptop when tilted.

  • Tilt laying flat

    You can also use the Tilt in the traditional flat mode, which may be better for thumb keyboard usage and text entry.

  • Front buttons in dark environment

    The front buttons below the display are all well backlit.

  • Backlit keyboard

    The keyboard backlighting is a bright white and there are blue alternative colored keys.

  • 3G icons are a bit lame

    As pointed out by a buddy, the 3G icons are not very professional and look like an amateur graphics artist created them.

  • AT&T branded programs

    Several utilities and programs from AT&T are included on the Tilt.

  • Wow, now there are some game demos

    I haven't seen this many game and application demos preloaded on a device before. Most of these applications have to be purchased to continue using.

  • HTC Advantage and Tilt in laptop modes

    You can see how much smaller the Tilt display is when compared to the Advantage.

  • Tilt on the Advantage

    Another view showing the Tilt sitting on the Advantage.

  • Side view of Advantage and Tilt

    The two are in laptop mode.
