HTC TyTN II - user opinions and reviews

HTC

Zaid I am acctually a pre-med student, and personally I would pick up the TyTn II. The features (full gps, TouchFLO, and WM6), in my opinion, are much better suited for a med student who needs to be very well organized. Also, a touch screen and full qwerty keyboard makes everything faster and much more user friendly. I am an avid hater of Symbian phones, so you have to take what I say with a grain of salt, but as far as my next phones are concerned they will all be required to have a qwerty keyboard and touchscreen at least.

HTC Updates and Upgrades Pocket PC Phone
Tuesday, 10:58 AM source: HTC

HTC Europe today announced the TYTN II, their new top-end GSM/HSDPA Windows Mobile phone. This followup to the TYTN platform (sold on AT&T as the 8525) has a similar body with a slide-out keyboard, however now the screen can be tilted up when the keyboard is slid open. The camera has also been upgraded to 3 Megapixels with auto-focus and GPS has been added. It still features quad-band GSM/EDGE and tri-band HSDPA, Wif-Fi and Bluetooth, a QVGA touch screen and a MicroSD slot. It will also feature Windows Mobile 6 Professional and the new HTC home screen introduced on the Touch. The TYTN II will launch throughout Europe in September on carriers as well as with the HTC brand.

I just read an overview of the Qualcomm processor used in this phone, and it looks like it takes on a similar architecture style to that of the well-known OMAP2 processor, (used in the nokia n95 and e90) like the use of a dedicated 3D graphics engine and dedicated DSP. However there are a few small differences, such as a ARM9 processor included for modem functions, 2 DSPs instead of just 1, and some different hardware accelerated features integrated into the ARM11 powered cpu... Oh yeah, did i mention that it also runs at a higher clock rate as well? 70Mhz faster.

I'm thinking that this particular Qualcomm unit may have the upper hand when compared directly to the OMAP2... I must say, i'm kind of jealous. I'd love to have this phone - the only thing it lacks is a VGA resolution screen!

HTC's website says that the TyTN II supports the SD 2.0 standard. I guess this would mean it supports Micro SDHC cards. Does anyone know the speed specifications for the HDSC (Class 2, 4 or 6) supported by the TyTN II?

Zaid,

The differential in price should be minimal however you need to consider how you plan to use your device. If you are looking for a "lifestyle" product then I think the N95 8Gb would be a better choice. Also being a medical student, you may need to take close-up shots in high resolution, the N95 8Gb would be better given the 5Mp camera. However, if you intend to use your device as a regular note-taking companion while in class, I would recommend the HTC TyTN II.

If you get this phone unlocked from any arabic country you WILL NOT be able to install skype or truphone on it because they block these programs because of their dumbass laws. Buy the Asian version (this can be checked with serial numbers)but make sure its not fake!!!

@bigsam:

There ain't a phone in Dubai that costs as much as the projected price for the TyTN II. $900 USD? It's a good phone, but it's not ALL THAT! Think I'll take a rain check.

Looks like Nokia's N95-8Gb version is going to be the killer phone out there. However, on a business-user perspective, my vote still goes to the TyTn II. The Qwerty keyboard is important to me and it's perfect for taking notes during meetings especially with the tilt screen. The 3MP camera should also be adequate, though not suitable for A4-sized prints.

Can't wait for this phone to be out in Singapore :-)
