HTC has finally released the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional update for the AT&T Tilt. The new ROM Version 3.57.502.2 WWE brings Tilt users up to the news OS from Microsoft and includes:

* HTC Home
* Remote Desktop Monitor
* Video Share Calling
* Managed Programs
* Threaded SMS
* Push-to-talk button can now be reassigned
* MS Voice Command
* OneNote Mobile

The download is approximately 88MB and you should make sure you follow the instructions closely. You can download the ROM by clicking this link

UPDATE: Okay, so it appears that HTC has built out the page for the update but it is still linked to the older Windows Mobile 6 ROM.

Right now, AT&T has refurbished AT&T Tilts for $149.99, when you sign up for a 2 year contract, or are eligible for a device upgrade. That’s about 63% off the full retail price of $399.99. I picked one up last week and got the holiday weekend to play with it.  The device is pretty cool; and offers a great deal, tilt novelty aside (though as Clinton put it, its pretty cool when you’re trying to get rid of glare outside…).

If you’re interested, you’d better hurry over to AT&T and pick one up while supplies last. They are likely going to go pretty quickly; and I understand that there is going to be an official WM 6.1 upgrade available for it from AT&T.
