Actually two issues have arisen:
1. Text messaging - When I open the panel for a new message and enter the address, I typically hit the "TAB" key to get to the message body panel. On my Tilt, this just scrolls the panel to the very bottom and leaves the cursor in the address line. Haven't yet found a work-around.
2. This is pretty serious to me and might cause me to send the handset back. I fly (a lot) and I depend upon the NWS ADDS web pages for weather data and radar images, etc. I discovered this AM, much to my displeasure, that the Tilt will not render the radar pages in a readable manner despite the chosen "view" setting. Now, I could view and even animate the radar pix from my old 6600 and 6700. I find it hard to believe that the Tilt cannot render this page.
I know about the issues with video drivers and the chip set, video acceleration, etc, but, come on already!! This is a serious issue for me and may indicate the end on my trial of this otherwise great handset.
Try it for yourself: Google ADDS Radar and see if you can see the national radar page. I usually view it with the "desktop" setting which entails a bit of scrolling, but it worked on older handsets. Interested in hearing your feedback.
