HTC TyTN II Review

AT&T Tilt 8925 Review

The Second TyTN is a welcome addition to the HTC family, being the Kaiser of the brand. It is worth naming it TyTN as it adds just what the phone needed – GPS chip for navigation. We are happy to see that the voice quality has been improved, the construction is moved to the next level (tilt display design, spring assisted mechanism and rubber back) and the software is customized with the TouchFlo technology we’ve known from the Touch. The TyTN II is almost excellent phone for those searching for a WM6 Professional device, featuring global GSM and 3G roaming, WiFI, GPS and QWERTY in a well-size body, when compared to the E90 for example. The only thing we don’t like about the phone is its display which although brighter is still rather unusable in bright light, and remains with QVGA resolution which is now not enough for a high-end phone.

Excellent

This phone is unbelievable!!!! I stopped lugging my laptop around with me. You will need a extra battery though. Best I ever owned.

12. Dig it

I have been looking for a new phone/pocket PC combo for a while now .. and this was worth the wait. I looked at two options .. the I-Phone and the TYtN II.

Some seem to be confused about the TYTN II and AT&T Tilt. They are 2 different devices. Very similar .. yes...but not the same. Both originate as the TYtN II .. but AT&T stripped the processor's speed . and took the Bus Card Reader out, and no front camera for conf. calls .. before offering it to its customers. The front cam. is not a big issue as of the date of this review .. as AT&T still does not offer video conferencing to its customers. Why they would choose t strip the processor sped from its original 400mghz .. is beyond me. I guess to make it cheaper .. but it really slows down performance between programs. I can run 10+ programs at the same time .. and make a call with no comp lag .. that's the power of the TYtN II!

This is not a comparison of the two .. so on with the show.

The real TYtN II .. is a bit pricey .. only found thru HTC. For me however it is worth every penny. Feature packed program/software.. and all run smoothly for me. The only complaint I have is not on the phone ...but with AT&T's service. The TYtN II simply FLYS thru its paces .. really an amazing piece of technology in a small bundle.
Smooth interface between programs .. and touch-flo .. gives smooth scrolling through all multi page screens. Touch-flo acts like the I-phones "touch a bility" .. with out the hype. Easy to use .., and fairly intuitive to learn. I came from a HP pocket PC loaded with software to make it do what I wanted .. but I have yet to purchase any software for the TYtN II as it came with all I need and more.

IMO (one of 6 devices over the past 5 years) the TYtN II is the best device of its kind available today. It is truly a portable office in the palm of my hand. Again it is a bit pricey but if processor power and a complete office to go experience is what your after .. look no further.
The only device that currently even compares (in this class) is the I-Phone. TYtN II offers more power . more software (included) .. and a problem free phone. Tilt screen makes it easy to view and use in its many wide screen program friendly features. Email is a breeze with a full slideout qwerty keyboard...."two thumbs-a-blazing ..lol.

Dig out your wallet .. and plop down for the top of the line currently offered. A bit pricey ..yes .. but don't accept the poor processor speed and stripped software AT&T version .. yes its cheaper .. but you get what you pay for.

Enjoy ...

13. A long wait

I had been waiting since April to switch from Verizon, finally I did. I managed to get the first arrival in the store yesterday. It is a good looking device. Never had anything like this before. Finally integrated everything in one. It has everything you can think of for a phone. It switches smoothly between 3g and the E networks. It does catch finger prints.The tilt feature makes it easy to read. It is a mini computer with a lot to offer. It synced with my pc smoothly and get gmail which is great. I still need to read the manual to discover all its capabilities. I highly recommend this phone. It is heavy one though.

14. Amazing Device

I just got today AT&T Tilt. Amazing device, it is really complete. If you want a phone that is compatible with every single service that AT&T offers this is the one for you. It is more comfortable to carry than the previous model the 8525. The built in GPS is an excellent addition! The autofocus and the 3.2 Megapixel camera just awesome!!

This phone is awesome, other than the fact that it's hella heavy.
Even though the CPU isn't the fastest in the market, everything still goes pretty smoothly.
It is an expensive piece of equipment, but it worths!!!
