AT&T Tilt 2 and AT&T Pure

The AT&T Tilt 2 (aka HTC TouchPro 2) and Pure (aka HTC Diamond 2) should be showing up at AT&T very soon.  Both phones will feature the new Windows Mobile 6.5 and an enhanced version of TouchFLO.  The Touch 2 should carry a price of about $300 after rebates and a 2 year contract and the Pure should run about half that, $150, after rebates and 2 year contract.

The original Tilt and it’s older siblings have been my choice for WinMo phones for the past 5+ years, until I picked up a 3G iPhone, so I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with the Tilt 2 in the very near future — perhaps it’ll sway me back over to the WinMo side of the fence.

Latest WinMo builds showing off swipe-able changes

WinMo 6.5 swipe tabsVideo via PocketNow; via WMPowerUser.  More steps in the right direction; still not there yet.  At least it looks like they’re still working towards a more finger-friendly UI.  WMPU says that the new TP2 & TD2 should be getting free updates to these ROMs whenever they hit final release (assuming the devices are available by then, heh).
