AT&T's HTC Tilt 2 handled: it's very much a Touch Pro2

Unlike the Pure's transformation from its Touch Diamond2 roots, AT&T's Tilt 2 is very much a Touch Pro2 for look and feel. Given our past experiences with the device, we'd say that'll suit the phone's business-oriented clientele just fine -- it's not like you'd want to turn it into a "fun" phone by coating it in wacky colors and preloading it with every social networking client this side of Orkut, after all. We didn't have a ton of time to pore over the interface, but we get the impression that TouchFLO is largely intact (though tweaked by AT&T, naturally) and the keyboard's different than what you'll find on the generic European version -- the top row is all symbols with a numeric pad (a little staggered, unfortunately) near the right side. Check out a few more sexily-lit shots in the gallery.

Yes, it adds more work when loading a custom ROM. My Kaiser (AT&T Tilt) is running with the HTC Mega ROM (Shifu 19) and to make it function correctly I have to load a special patch to fix the keyboard layout.

Seems like they never get it completely right.
1. No 3.5mm jack.
2. No camera flash?
3. No front-facing camera.
4. FM radio is disabled.
5. Screwed up the keyboard layout.

...and then for the CDMA version (which have GSM ability) -
1. Sprint's version won't work on USA GSM networks (locked somehow? but hackers working on it)
2. Verizon's version works on USA GSM Networks once you unlock it - but no 3G!!!
3. No FM radio ability at all (disabled)

My god - Just build one that has the features we want!

Who do both AT&T and HTC website list Windows Mobile 6.1 as the operating system? Can anyone confirm please?? I'd like to upgrade my Fuze to this one but if it runs 6.1, then forget about it.
