HTC TyTN

I have a O2 Stellar for last 1 yr. Good reliable phone, reliable windows mobile os with outlook as good as anything. Word, Excel etc available but not practical due to small print size. micro SD card makes the storage not an issue. Internet is cool and of reasonably good speed. Size is ok= but could be smaller. slide key board is great. Battery life is ok but not brilliant- if your travel is more than 10-12 hrs, you could run out of battery- so need to recharge in this time.

Overall I am happy in the last 1 yr (touch wood)

The HTC TyTN is a good phone & pda. Sliding qwerty keyboard, however it is heavy & large

Windows 6.1 is good software

I would say it's all talk, no action, except I can't get the phone to work most of the time. The prospect of being stuck with this phone for another 2 years drives me to despair. My kingdom for a pick-pocket. Will nobody rid me of this accursed phone?

The phone is made by HTC which has many names (Qtek, iMate, T-Mobile, O2, Orange, Vodafone). HTC's brand in smartphones and pocket pc phones (or pda phones) just keeps getting stronger and stronger. HTC builds quality phones, from the small smartphone C600 to the larger Universal pocket pc. The TyTN is a pocket pc phone that runs on Windows Mobile 5.0.

The verson o the TyTN i have is the Vodafone V1605 Mercury, with my Orange sim in. It was already unlocked.

In the box, along with the manuals, was the device, bettery, leather carry case, charger, usb cable, cd, spare stylus and hands free kit.

I've had this since September, and it is such a good device, for all the reasons listed above, its like having a mini laptp with you as well as a phone. Not only can i surf the next (over WiFi if theres any around) but i can view and edit office applications!

I can also install other applications, such as Opera (web browser), themes, and useful little tricks (and in case i get carried away installing apps, i ahve a 1gb micro sd card). Unforunately it did not come with pocket msn messenger.

When the WiFi is in close range and set to "better signal" rather than "save battery" the signal is excellent.

My 1st two devices had the serial numbers HT626XXXXXX which were problematic versions of the phone. And i have herd of a few errors with the HT62 series. The problem was, that the screen was not alligning properly, making it very difficuilt to use the touch screen (and the 1st devices qwerty wasnt completely working on mine, and my 2nd one had a broke back light behind the soft keys). I now have a HT64... and its proven to be bug free so far. Which I am happy about, as this is a fantastic pocket pc phone and it would be a shame to fall out with it.

Ignoring the teething issues with this device, it is a smashing device that can do just about anything a laptop can!
