AT&T Tilts Into Another Smart Phone

HTC’s much-anticipated Kaiser smart phone hit the mainstream on Thursday, when AT&T officially added it to its network as the AT&T Tilt. The Tilt, as it’s now known, will be AT&T’s first Windows Mobile 6 device, and comes with a number of other features that set it apart from other smart phones.

Perhaps most importantly, the Tilt has a 2.8-inch color screen that slides back to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard, then angles up to comfortable reading position. It’s also 3G-enabled for full-speed browsing in AT&T’s 170 metropolitan coverage areas, and EDGE-enabled for when users find themselves outside of those areas. And of course, when the opportunity presents itself, the Tilt can also hook up with standard 802.11 a and g Wi-Fi networks.

Other bells and whistles include TeleNav GPS Navigator and Bluetooth, which will allow it to sync up with up to six other Bluetooth devices at the same time. A 3-megapixel camera and MicroSD expansion slot that can accommodate cards up to 4GB are also built in.

AT&T will debut the phone at $299.99 with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate on October 5. Data contracts run from $44.99 for an unlimited corporate plan to $29.99 for a scaled-down personal plan with 20MB of data per month. Enabling TeleNav GPS Navigator will also cost users: $5.99 for 10 trips or $9.99 for unlimited trips.

Here’s every Pixel phone that can download Android 16 Developer Preview 1

The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL next to the Google Pixel 8 Pro.

Even though Android 15 launched only recently, Google is already moving on to Android 16, which is much earlier than is typical. And if you have a Pixel device from the past couple of years, you can get the Android 16 Developer Preview 1 right now.

Typically, when Google releases a beta for Android, the Pixel lineup gets it first before any other phones. When Google announced Android 16 earlier today, we didn’t know exactly which Pixel models would be able to get the Developer Preview. But Google just revealed which models can run Android 16, and two of them are a bit surprising.
