HTC Tilt 2 Refurbished Windows Phone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone to replace an Iphone 2g, as part of my contract upgrade. I wasn't really sure what to expect, as I had gotten used to how the Iphone operated, but I got tired of the "apple" mentality, that everything on the phone should be their way or the highway. I got sick of not having any kind of real flexibility with the Iphone. I use my phone for personal use, as well as running a side business, and I needed a phone that was all business. This phone fits the bill perfectly. I have not had a single problem with the phone's functionality, and LOVE working with it every day. Sending email, surfing the web, and everything else you do with cell phones now a days is a breeze. WinMo 6.5 is a pleasure to use, and I can say, without a doubt, this HTC Tilt 2 is 1000 times better than the Iphone it replaced.

Refurbished Phones and DevicesRefurbished phones are previously owned devices that have been unused or lightly used and returned to AT&T during the 30-day trial period. Each refurbished phone is independently quality tested and loaded with the latest software to meet current factory standards.
Combining the convenience of a tilting touch screen with the practicality of a slide out full QWERTY keyboard, the HTC Tilt 2 smartphone from AT&T keeps you connected with friends, business partners and world events with its ultra-fast HSDPA 3G cellular connectivity and the revamped Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system.
