HTC 8925-Tilt

The HTC 8925-Tilt is the latest update on the popular TyTN/8525, taking all the great features of the previous unit and making things even better. The 8925-Tilt sports a thinner body than older models, and manages to add the tilt-up screen in the process. This makes it feel like a mini-laptop. To add to the overall experience, there is also Bluetooth stereo capability, a good sized QWERTY keyboard, and Wi-Fi capability.

Many of the features that were on previous units are enhanced in some manner. There is an expanded memory on the 8925-Tilt, as well as faster data processing with the HSDPA. The camera has an automatic focus, which can make it much easier to grab a quick photo that you can actually enjoy later on. The GPS capability is also streamlined, making it much easier to activate and use. While there is an extra subscription fee that is necessary in order to take full advantage of the features, the fee is modest and well worth the cost.

Pros

• Setting up email access is very easy with this unit
• Synchronization with remote mail and the main calendar on the desktop unit takes almost no time
• Searches on the Internet are quick and easy, especially with the use of the keyboard to type in search phrases

Cons

• Using the directory to make a phone call is a little more complicated than most phones
• Size of the keyboard may make it harder for people with larger hands to avoid hitting two keys at once
• No wired headset comes as part of the basic package

Final Word

Even though the 8925-Tilt does not come with all the accessories, it still has plenty of firepower to make for a great phone experience.
