HTC TyTN II

“The HTC TyTN II is a wonderful device and it packs in some nice features. Its design is high-tech, yet solid and functional. The communication capabilities allow using it in almost every out-of-the-office scenario. We liked the QWERTY keyboard and the notebook-like usability of the device. The integrated GPS receiver is another really cool feature. The battery too is on par with the rich feature set of the device.The downsides we found with the TyTN II are that it doesn't have a VGA resolution display and it's not really pocketable. It doesn't have a 3D accelerator or USB host function either . The 400MHz Qualcomm processor is somewhat sluggish and is incapable of playing video at a resolution higher than QVGA.So although the HTC TyTN II will be a highly sought after gadget, we don't find it to be the ultimate communication device. The particular mix of features will probably account for its high popularity but it fails to justify an upgrade from the original TyTN though, as the innovations it offers just don't seem to balance with the swollen price. However the HTC TyTN II is a great option if you are upgrading from an older device, or if it's your first step in the PocketPC world.”

“3G? It's in there. Wi-Fi? It's in there. GPS? It's in there. In fact, the AT&T Tilt promises, on paper, every wireless standard you could possibly ask for, a rather giddy slap in the face to Apple's comparably crippled iPhone. Designed for deep geeks who don't value style so much, the Tilt slides open to reveal a spacious QWERTY keyboard (just like its big brother the AT&T 8525), earning its name by letting you tilt the screen to a comfortable incline, which makes it far more useful in tabletop action. There's a lot to like, even love, here: Full-on Office Mobile, push email, push-to-talk, a pretty good 3-megapixel camera (especially with outdoor shots), and a sturdy, rugged design. On the downside, the Tilt is hampered by a laggy OS (Windows Mobile 6) and a perhaps too-slow 400MHz CPU, which means you'll face lengthy delays in loading apps or documents, rendering web pages, or doing just about anything else with the handset. However, it's the poor battery life (under 4 hours talk time) that may be the real dealbreaker for some users.WIRED You'll never be offline (at least while the battery has juice): It contains just about every radio known to man. Very good call quality. Big, bright display. Tilt screen feature is much more useful than it sounds. Intuitive controls. Wide variety of push formats supported: Can even connect to BlackBerry email.TIRED Pitiful, nearly useless speakerphone. Pocket-challenging in size and hefty at 6.6 ounces. Windows Mobile lags and hampers productivity, particularly with web browsing. GPS service plan costs extra.”
