I've had this phone for more than 6 months now. I'll list only the annoying stuff:

Like any windows , this one stuck at the most inconvinient moment and reset is required.

I had to hard reset it once when i was abroad. So for the rest of my stay i had no contacts.

Screen alignment problems. For example if you have the numbers 123456 written next to each other and hit for example 4 the phone will mark 5. I mean it reads the clicks about 2mm to the right.

I'm carrying it in its case on my belt so it's in horizontal position. When i pull it out and push to power button so that is comes out of sleep mode to screen is almost always in horizontal mode as if you have pulled out the keyboard - i don't know why that happens. It takes a few seconds to set back to normal vertical mode. VERY annoying when someone is calling you becouse you can't pick up until it is set to vertical. Sometimes it takes so long that people actually hang up :)

Speaker is by far not the loudest i've heard. Some times in a bit noisier place it's hard to hear the person you talk to.

If you put all that aside , it's a great device. Great PDA. Good phone. If you are looking for PDA-Phone this is good choice. If you are looking for Phone-PDA then probably SE P-series or Nokia N-series will offer better solutions.

Great piece of hardware. I do wish that they make it lighter and thinner but otherwise a superb device. There are a lot of copycats out there (Eten specifically...) but HTC is still the God!

Bit bulkier than wanted really but features and ease of use brought me round. Did try Palm, slightly slimmer, and had problems using the phone after syncronised with my outlook tried 2 new phones with same problem.
Tried this one out and presto!

Hey guys. I've purchased my Tytn a month ago and it's a great device. I have only one problem....for me it's the main thing. The Wlan is perfect, the speed and everything. The only thing is I cannot check my yahoo mails. When I sign in and try to check my mail, I see a blank page and I don't know why. And in here there is no HTC dealers. Can anybody help me please?
If I have a yahoo account, what I should write in Outgoing mail, incoming mail and Domain...Thank you all.

The best regards to all of you

I have had the TyTN for some months now and love it. However, today it stopped picking up a mobile network. It simply searches, but cannot find any. I switch SIM cards all the time, as I travel frequently, but none of my cards work now. Perhaps I have worn out the SIM card reader? Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I tried a hard reset, but it still does not work :(

Fabulous device! Sure, it has its inadequacies but which device doesn't?!! Still the best PDA phone I ever had!

To Jan:
Your problem is not unique. This occurs in most HTC manufactured sliders (including I-Mate's Jasjam). A Taiwan-based website provided very detailed information about this failure and the root cause is a faulty ribbon connector between the screen (the slider) and the body. Apparently, after constant use, the connector ribbon gets pinched and causes all kinds of problems, including stylus entry failure.

Welcome to the disatisfied-in-HTC club. My Jasjam (I-Mate) I recently purchased is still in warranty repair for similar reasons.
