I believe this would be the one to compete with the iPhone.

WOW is that SHAMELESS!!! I think it will suffer the same fate as the Voyager, though.

You'll all laugh at this...My wife just came home tonight with an AT&T Tilt from a company called HCT. Just for a reference I have the iPhone which I like as a whole but wish the touch keyboard would turn sideways when you turn the phone to make the keys large. Other than that I've been happy.

Now this "Tilt"...First of all it is a BRICK and seems to weigh 5x that of the iPhone. Next, the thing has buttons all over and after playing with it for 1/2 hour I could barely make a phone call let alone figure out the email or browser. This thing is about as anti-intuitive as it gets.

Sure it has a TON of bells and whistles, voice command, touch screen, button or pen. A real keyboard as well as other things the iPhone does not have.

Truth is someone who never used an iPhone could work the entire phone in 5 minutes without even looking at the manual. I was frustrated in half that time with the Windows based "tilt" and I'm a PC guy using Vista.

And all this... just as Apple is about to announce the 3G iPhone 2.0, and leapfrog a couple years ahead of everyone. Again.

the company called HTC..it's the original maker for most of the PPC round here...
it's good I'm using with the iPhone (I have the HTC SIM Free version, it called HTC TyTn II), it's really doing good...it handles all my books...and programs and all the medical things I need....
but nothin on the market right now works like an iPhone....the OS and MultiTouch are great...will see also what Apple will do next month...

also I liked the new HTC Diamond, did u see it? it's really good!
