Built to last.
The last of the solid-built quality phones.
At the time,it really had all you could ask for.
Today, you'll need a separate BT GPS antenna, that's all.
Take it anywhere, use it anyway. It will work for you under the worst conditions.

Too bad manufacturers keep dropping quality standards.

A timeless classic.
I only wish most phones still had all the features of a TYTN, taking adavantage of today's technology.
Phones would be much better and user-friendly if they followed the TYTN's example!

Yes, the good'ol TYTN still delivers.
An example followed by many and a phone that will stand at historical phone's hall of fame.

Greta 'big' phone. Heavy, but stursy, resistant and full of great potential.
I also own one and keep using it: it has everything you need and you save up your dollars for more precious goods!!!

I have one of these, very nice device. I got WM 6.5 on it and works with no lag at all. Wi-Fi is quite fast, and yutube loads eally well. The speaker is loud and clear, and the camera preformance is one of the best comparing to other 2MP cameras. Batery life is realy nice for a device this big, last 3days no problem. Qwerty is comfortable and have a nice "pop up" feel to them.

This phone is like a Rolls-Royce: you may not want one, you may nor even like it, but it is a symbol of how things should be done.

The TYTN has got everything, it was a phone ahead of its time.

That is why so many of us still use theirs and fully enjoy this superb machine.

The TYTN deserves the praise: It has stood the test of time and came out as a clear Winner!

Glad to see this phone still rocking! =)

Actually, in a time when new phones keep coming out almost on a daily basis, it's good to remember great phones, like great gadgets, are timeless.

The TYTN is still a landmark as far as modern smart phones are concerned:
It did have it all: two cameras with video calling, photos and videos with flash, hot swapping memory card, full lighted keyboard, WiFi, Bluetooth and Infra-Red connection... you name it!

This is the phone that started a new way of understanding (& using) our phones!
I still use mine as a secondary phone and it keeps on working beautifully.

that is why, I, for one, still vote for it!

The TYTN is a beautiful classic.

Video calls, touch screen, physical keyboard, GPS via bluetooth, Infra-Red connection, flash camera and videos recording, hot swappable memory cards, dedicated camera button..
These are only some of the features let down by current phones.
The list is endless for how far ahead and how complete this phone was in its time and how it remains a solid, fully functional piece of equipment...
... not so long ago.

I just coinnect it to my PC via "WM Device Center" and I can actually see and do anything and everything to my phone.
The TYTN still resists and keeps on working perfectly, even after its manual and CD are long gone! ;)
That really shows how great a phone the TYTN is!!!

I manage to syncronise mine using "Windows Mobbile Device Center" included in recent Windows versions.
I've never used other software: That's how I regularly connect my TYTN to different PCs.

If that doesn't work, as it is an older model, try to send them a email explaining your problem:

Good Luck!

Already had video call.

A real landmark.
It still works flawlessly!

A master of all trades.
This phone really handles everything: games, programmes, videos and photos.
After years of hard work, the TYTN still performs beautifully.
Highly recommended.
It does stand the test of time.
Very pleased with mine! =)
