It was an upgrade to the 8525 he was talking about. From perusing AT&T's online store, it looks as if the tilt is what he was talking about.
Looks nice. As soon as my PDA takes a dive, I'll probably jump on it.

Uh, an upgrade to what?? My experience with these sales guys is that you really have to do your own research a lot of times, never rely on them for information because they are often just totally clueless about what a lot of these phones really can do. When I bought the 8525 on my first trip, the salesguy was totally pushing me to get a blackberry instead, even though I told him I was moving from using a phone and PDA and had a lot of stuff to move over to the smartphone. It made no sense at all. When I went to exchange that for the Tilt, the salesguy on that trip seemed to think that the Tilt was not the replacement for the 8525 and was priced lower because it wasn't as good, had a slower CPU, etc. He really tried to talk me out of getting it. When in actuality it is better than the 8525 in many ways, and has a dual processor so is significantly faster, etc. It's very frustrating. Also, from what I could find out, AT&T has some internal code name for the Tilt that is making a lot of sales people think another phone is coming, but there's no real evidence of this. The Tilt is the latest phone from HTC and certainly the top of the line currently. There is hope that the HTC Touch models will come to the US and perhaps be picked up by AT&T though. This really is a good iPhone competitor though so not sure AT&T would offer it. You can see flash demos of it at: http://www.htctouch.com/ And video on YouTube, search for "HTC Touch". It's a really neat phone, the TouchFlow is also on the Tilt so you can scroll just by dragging on the screen, but no Touch Cube (yet!) --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:243861 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
