"Another impressive factor is battery life..."
You are kidding me right? You are correct that this phone has wonderful features - it is the best phone by far. But one of them is NOT the battery life - everyone is working hard on getting the battery to last longer but stock from AT&T and moderate usage you will be lucky to get 8 hours out of your battery.

Just my opinion.

Just 8 hrs? That's bad.. When I used it came almost a day but ofcourse lesser than other devices. Anyway, I removed that line and added the poor battery performace at the end of the article. :D

It's all relative - for the all the functionality the Kaiser has (including very power hungry HSDPA) I think the battery's pretty good. I routinely get two days out of mine, which for a powerful PDA and phone combined isn't bad at all, IMO.

With this type of device, anything over a day is a bonus.

What's up with your site? I followed your link and Norton informed me that it blocked an attack on my computer.:mad:

"prise open" ???

TeleNav - while cool - is not obvious to the initial user that you have to have a cell phone signal for it to work. In other words - when you r cell phone has no signal and you cannot call someone for help, your navigation system iis also down. This is not a TILT problem - just that you mention TeleNav and I think it should be mentioned.

Thanks for listening.

batt life is trash, but if you have 3G to autoturn off after a couple of minutes you can get 48 to 70+ hours. Ilve been getting good life because of that. try it.

I have used Kaiser Tweak to turn things off automatically and you are right - it improves the battery life.

This gentleman is writing a review of the stock phone and had in the article that the battery life was wonderful. My comments were directed to THAT specific comment that the STOCK delivery ROM and battery life were somewhat less than wonderful.

Now -the fact that you can hack your phone and get a better battery response is also truly wonderful about this phone.

But I doubt that he wants THAT in the article. ;)
Thanks

I use everything that my Kaiser has to offer, including GPS, long-term tethering, videos.. and I don't think that my battery life is bad. It's actually quite good, and when it comes to all the features that Kaiser has to offer - it's not bad at all.

On standby it can easily last for several days.. and since I charge/recharge/connect/sync it all the time, battery was never a problem for me.

Just my $.02

So - as delivered by AT&T - with no adjustments (like the normal person would make no adjustments and only have the AT&T store to help them) your phone had great battery life and you had no issues?

Or - (as I suspect) you have to download Kaiser Tweak and load another ROM or radio to get this significant good battery life? ;)

This guy is writing an article on the STOCK AT&T TILT phone and it's features.

I should hope so - the Treo 650 has an anemic processor, little memory, and no 3G.

with an 8 hour battery life there isn't too many phones (in the US) that can get near that mark..

of AT&T's active lineup:

LG Shine: 2-3 hours talking
Razr (depending on software vers), Nokia 6555: ~4
w580's: ~7-8

comparing the tilt to other phones (from AT&T), that are currently on the line of active phones, it's on the high end in the top 3 or so..


of course, that assumes your not using BT, GPS, 3g (HSDPA is not an option on a stock rom/no tweaks)..


So, it is an upgrade, but yeah.. my 755p lasts years by comparison (but again, hardly use it as it doesn't have all the same fun features & tweaks)

Well, you don't need a V8 6-liters engine on Mazda Rx-7 or Rx-8 to make it runs damn fassst, do you? Furthermore, treo palm OS have some 3rd applications that make PPC WM users become jealous e.g callrec, takephone, pocket-tunes and many more.

BTW, does iphone have 3G, yet?!
