    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. Read more

    I purchased this phone in the spring of 2007. I really loved the web, and the texting. Was good for videos and propping up the screen. I would swear I was in a small movie theater. I got the iPhone 2G 8GB, and it fell into a pool. When I was saddened by this, I was happy that I got the APP store (MEDIAMall) good games and videos available on that store. I was never disappointed by this. A+++ on what was needed for. Read more
