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.

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.

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

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

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.
