HTC Tilt (TYTN II) PDA Smartphone with 3MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version for AT&T Reviews
I just upgraded to an iPhone. I had the tilt device for two years, it was a good phone. I enjoyed being on the 3G network. I also used it to tether as a modem for my laptop, no issues there, great for visiting clients at Starbucks and not having to pay for internet. Really nice not having to fumble around with setup on that tethering. I used to watch youtube via player application, before youtube finally made their own plugin. I would check out Fifth Gear, top gear, etc episodes during my lunch hour, it was good fun, espcially with the tilt screen while I was eating. After two years the battery needed replacing, I never did, but it sure needed a new one. The charge was only lasting a couple hours. I dropped it twice, and had the screen replaced once for 0. The time the screen needed replacing it was thrown from the second story of my apartment, the phone is pretty durable. Most phones would have smashed to pieces.
What can it do that an iPhone can't you ask?
* Tether as a modem
* Internet Access with AT&T via 3G for /month NOT like on the iphone
* Full keyboard
* SMS messaging, (add pictures to text msgs)
* Run office applications (word, powerpoint, etc)
* Screen tilt
* Create ringtones on the fly by choosing a song and right clicking (sweet)
* No I-Tunes or Qucktime malware
What does an iPhone do better?
* Larger screen
* Better battery life
* Backlight auto adjusts brightness, saves battery
* Shuts off faster, no buttons on front that accidentally turn it on
* Looks better (impress your friends, the tilt looked like a brick)
* Better support if/wehn it breaks, at least implied
* More applications
* Larger storage up to 32gb with 3GS
* Ipod / music work much better, easier to use etc
* Voicemail stores on the device
* GPS device with compass can tell you which way to turn not just your location
* Thinner, lighter
All in all I am planning on keeping the iPhone after having the tilt for 2 years. I still love the tilt though... nothing wrong with that phone at all.
As the title suggests, I consider this Smartphone to be a good work horse.
A previous poster listed a few features on this device, I've expanded some of the detail on that and added some other info.
* Tether as a modem - very helpful and less expensive than buying a standalone aircard.
* Full keyboard - there is a soft keyboard you can type on without having to slide out the keyboard everytime you need to type something.
* Can open, edit, save Microsoft office files (word, powerpoint, etc) (on an iPhone you can only view not edit).
* Screen tilts - helpful to reduce glare
* Create ringtones on the fly by choosing a song and right clicking - without additional cost
Helpful tips for Windows Mobile
Periodically Windows Mobile devices experience registry corruption. The best resolution is to perform a hard reset on the device clearing out the memory and essentially freshly building the device. By doing these periodic resets (in my experience 2 times a year is necessary), the device remains responsive and less buggy.
There is a lot of functionality built into the Tilt that is handy. It is one of the better Windows devices for navigation. Using a bluetooth GPS bug the device can do quite well guiding without the necessity of having to buy a singletasking handheld navigation system.

Headset Buddy: PC Headset to 3.5mm Smartphone Adapter: Convert Dual 3.5mm to 3.5mm, PC Computer Headset to iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, Palm, Samsung, LG, HTC Reviews
I have a PC headset that I wanted to try with my iPhone. This adapter works just fine. My goal was to be able to find a headset that can be used with windows down and sunroof open (and eventually with a convertible which i'm thinking about). Don't know for a fact that a bluetooth couldn't do it, but my thought was i'd need some sort of headset with a boom which would be closer to my mouth. Also thought if I could get a PC headset, I could use it with my PC too. This adapter works great with my PC headset. Sorry, I know it sounds more like I'm reviewing the headset vs the adapter. BTW: I ended up with the Logitech Premium Notebook Headset and it seems to work great with the sunroof open and windows down (as long as the wind isn't blowing directly into the microphone). I tested by using the Sound Recorder on the iPhone. This headset also lets you turn one of the earpads off one ear (it's actually against the law to cover both ears).
The voice comes through loud and clear on both ends. Makes it very convenient to make calls using any wired PC headset. You can also easily attach a microphone to it and use it with the iPhone.

Headset Buddy Adapter: Smartphone Headset to PC Adapter - Use a 3.5mm iPhone/Smartphone Headset With Your PC, Converts 3.5mm Plug to Dual Mic/Audio 3.5mm, for Skype/VOIP Reviews
I came to Afghanistan expecting to use my personal laptop for skyping. When that didn't happen, I needed a headset with separate plugs for input and output and all I had were a set of headphones that came with my Google Nexus One. After looking at several expensive headsets I saw this splitter that would allow me to use my current gear with the computer equipment available to me for a fraction of the price. The adapter works great with crisp, clear sound both on the in and out, though I suspect this will vary based on what hardware you use along with it. It shipped and arrived promptly, so I am overall quite happy with the purchase.
Why are these so hard to find? I tried two off shady retailers that didn't work before getting this one which worked perfectly.
I like my iPhone headset: very portable and the speaker / mic quality are good. Now I'm able to use it for my laptop and desktop as well. It's actually pretty convenient to be able to unplug from your laptop and directly into your phone when the phone rings.

PDA/PDA Phone/Smartphone/Cellphone: HP iPAQ, iPhone, iTouch, iPod, PALM Treo car / auto mount universal vent + windshield holder GPS navigation Reviews
I own this car mount holder and it is great. It can act as either windshield mount or vent mount, and it holds PDA/MP3/Phone/iPOD very tight without slipping.
It works great for GPS navigation with my hw6515 PDA Phone.
I got this for my ipod about two months ago and it works better than expected. Only complaint is that there are no directions. So you have to 'guess work' it out on how to use the vent attachment but it can be done. Also rattles a little when empty but that could be easily addressed by putting a piece of card in it if no ipod or PDA. I haven't bothered. It really is a great item for the price. My iPod didn't get hot using the vent attachment with the heat on either. The section cup was pretty strong too. I would recommend buying this little widget.
