Must-have Adapter for AT&T Tilt

User: Steve Zweigart, Jan 25, 2009

Pros: Versatile, Solves multiple connectivity problems, Well-built. Priced very reasonably.
Cons: No instructions, A bit ungainly in appearance.

This device solved two major problems I had with my Tilt. First and foremost, the headset that I purchased from AT&T to go with this phone are uncomfortable to the point of being almost impossible to wear. They simply do not want to stay in the ear. This adapter allows me to wear my good Bose headset to listen to music. The other problem is that of being able to listen while the device is charging. Since this adapter has two USB connectors, this is an easy chore...especially useful when using the AT&T Navigator function, which is heavy on power consumption, and not quite loud enough to hear through the Tilts built-in speaker.

My biggest complaint is that the device was shipped naked, in an envelope, with no instructions whatsoever. I have no idea, other than a simple stereo headset, what may be able to be plugged into the the 2.5mm and/or 3.5mm jacks, or whether video can be retrieved in any fashion from the device as may be accoplished with an iPod, Zune, etc. using this adapter. I will have to search the HTC website to see if I can find anything indicating its specs or resembling a user manual.

The design is tough and matches the Tilt very well. Though it is a little awkward the way it protrudes from the device, it is well built to withstand its dongle-type presence, and in most situations it is truly useful, is not in the way.

Overall, the device is well worth the money, and I truly question why it is not shipped as standard equipment with the device, as it is so very useful, and should be the only adapter you ever need for this phone.
