I'm currently using a Treo, and I'm looking at possible replacements. I
just tried a Tilt this week. I hated it so much I returned it within
24 hours. The UI absolutely sucks, par for the course for WinMob, I
guess. What I care about is usability, and the Tilt sorely misses on
most counts. The iPhone, on the other hand, hits on almost all counts,
and once the third party software starts coming out it will hit on
more.

Maybe it serves the purpose for those who want something that just
works the way things should, without needing to install extra stuff
just to make it usable.
