AT&T Tilts Into Another Smart Phone
October 04, 2007 | by Nick Mokey
The HTC Kaiser joined AT&T's line-up on Thursday, rebranded as the AT&T Tilt. It boasts a large screen that slides away and tilts for access to a full QWERTY keyboard.
HTC’s much-anticipated Kaiser smart phone hit the mainstream on Thursday, when AT&T officially added it to its network as the AT&T Tilt. The Tilt, as it’s now known, will be AT&T’s first Windows Mobile 6 device, and comes with a number of other features that set it apart from other smart phones.
Perhaps most importantly, the Tilt has a 2.8-inch color screen that slides back to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, then angles up to comfortable reading position. It’s also 3G-enabled for full-speed browsing in AT&T’s 170 metropolitan coverage areas, and EDGE-enabled for when users find themselves outside of those areas. And of course, when the opportunity presents itself, the Tilt can also hook up with standard 802.11 a and g Wi-Fi networks.
Other bells and whistles include TeleNav GPS Navigator and Bluetooth, which will allow it to sync up with up to six other Bluetooth devices at the same time. A 3-megapixel camera and MicroSD expansion slot that can accommodate cards up to 4GB are also built in.
AT&T will debut the phone at $299.99 with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate on October 5. Data contracts run from $44.99 for an unlimited corporate plan to $29.99 for a scaled-down personal plan with 20MB of data per month. Enabling TeleNav GPS Navigator will also cost users: $5.99 for 10 trips or $9.99 for unlimited trips.
