TyTN II
Finally, a device manufacturer that remembers what the "U" in "USB" stands for...
I received my new HTC TyTN II today. From my previous post on the last SWMUG monthly meeting, you'll remember I said that this was going to be my next device!! It is definitely closest to my current ideal, lacking only a few tiny details: e.g. sufficient onboard memory, extended battery life, and a sufficient resolution camera (with optical zoom) to rid myself of those other imperative gadgets (MP3 player, decent compact digital camera etc.)
But it does come with Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP, Wi-Fi (ABG), GPS, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA, a 400MHz Processor, 3.8" QVGA screen, and the best slide-out QWERTY keyboard I've had the chance to use. What's with Micro-SD though? GRRR - just when I'd bought a decent size Mini-SD for the Palm....
So far we're 3 hours in. I've setup the Co-Pilot software (comes pre-loaded with Australia Maps), my Exchange 2007 account (I Love push email), my Windows Live account (Messenger, Maps, Search, Email), charged the battery, my weather location, picture contacts, and the Voice Command 2.0 training.
Am I happy? For day 1, yes, resoundingly so - this is a great gadget. Not for the fair weather "I only use the phone and SMS" mobile user. But if you need to be connected, fast, anywhere in the world, with the input peripherals to actually do something useful! If you don't necessarily want to carry around your MP3 player, camera, GPS, diary, task list, and phone! Then take a serious look at the TyTN II.... It's our next upgrade.
More on how it features as I use it in anger.
