 "Almost Perfect" | 2008-03-04 |
| - Reviewed By danie@cheerful.com |
I'm a big fan of this phone. In the past, I've used an iPaq PDA with a little Samsung flip phone, then moved up to the Ipaq PDA/phone. This is the first HTC product I've purchased and I'd like to start off by suggesting that people don't confuse it with the AT&T 8525. It may look like the same phone, but the cases are not compatible.
My only disappointments with this pda/phone is:
- I've had it less than a year and the screen is shot. I've realigned it several times. Most of my taps are unresponsive. I end up dialing people inadvertently while I'm tapping around repeatedly trying to add them to my contact list. It's a pain. That problem has only started recently.
- It's sluggish. Sometimes the screen/graphics freeze up. When switching from portrait to landscape mode...more sluggish, more freezing.
- It's a tri-band phone, and I would've preferred a quad-band.
Now here's my disclaimer for these three complaints...I'm hard on pocket pc's. I like to be able to multi-task and not lose any functionality. I've added third-party software that I've run on my HP Pocket PC without issue but this phone hasn't handled it as well. I really use this thing.
I've just ordered the TyTN II to replace my TyTN with failing screen. I haven't even tried to seek help from HTC or the company I purchased it from as I live abroad. I'm hoping that TyTN II will be faster, I'm looking forward to WM 6, and since it's a quad-band, it should be terrific for the travel that I do.
I'll let you know what I think of the TyTN II when I get it.

| This is an excellent product, works fine and has all the features, wi-fi, 3g, second camara for videocall, etc. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is a little bit too big compare to others. |

I don't know who is the lier. Sometimes I thinks thas is Amazon (my seller), sometimes I thinks that is HTC.
My experience when I unpackage the phone was terrible. First, I live in a pre-comunist country, and all imports are seriusly controlled. Second, the internet purcharse are limited for only 400 $ for 2008 and 3000 $ for 2007, or if I return an item, I lost the exchange cuota for these purcharse.
Now, when I open the box and draw the items, I see an HTC paper Saying: Please ignore all references to videocall feature because this was disabled. My surprise was extraordinary, because I buy this phone for this feature.
I write some emails to Amazon to claim for this. For example in the Amazon's phone description says: "TyTN also features a small forward-facing camera for making video calls". Why Amazon anounces this?. This was a month ago, and Amazon has not eliminated all referecences to video call, why?.
Amazon's respond to me about return this item, but I ask why?, why I must return the phone if I ask about a lie?. If I return this Item, I can't buy another phone for the restrictions refered previusly.
If you need a smartphone, I thinks that HTC could be a good idea, but also thinks that this version could be have many bugs (errors) that diminish the capabilities announced (for example, the videocall feature :(). Maybe this the HTC TYNT II (KAYSER) you may have better luck.
I still think that Amazon's a good place to buy, but sometimes a big structure could controller these incidents. |

| All about this item has been a nightmare, even thought it's plenty of small package features it came with a serious screen alignment problem which could not been fixed for any of the multiple suggestions you might find in several forum ( it seems this issue is extremely frequent given the number of proposed fixes you see and none worked for me ), so I returned to the seller( R & D Marketing ) and after 14 weeks ( more than three months ago ) of wait I haven't had ANY reasonable answer of these guys and the only thing the say is that they have to send it back to Europe to the manufacturer ( HTC ) and they no have anything else to help with and not even to provide with a contact person or number at HTC to find out the status of the claim. I thing this kind of support is not worthy the suffering and time wasting and I requested a money refund, which again I still expecting for them to reply. Don't bother to buy at this store, you will regret it as I did. |

| HTC TyTN is the AT&T 8525 and will be discontinued with release of AT&T 8925 w/in next two weeks. Will drop in price to the $100-$200 level in my opinion. TyTN otherwise reviewed as a good phone. |

This phone is pretty cool, you can use it as a MP3 player, etc... Just like PocketPC.
Unfortunately it drains a lot of battery's power, and notifications are sometimes not clear. It slides out when I take it out of my pocket what is really annoying. Basically, you can not use it when you are driving a car; it needs two hands to use it and a stylus, because sometimes folders are too small to touch it with your finger.
If you are looking for the phone that you will be able to use whenever and wherever you want to - you should find another one. |

I used to close my mind on Motorola products for the last perhaps 10 years and now I am liberated. The last one I owned was MPX-220 smart phone. It was a piece of junk, not only because of its low voice quality but because of its low reliability. I had to get it shipped to customer services 4 times in a year.
Now what about this little gadget. It is great. I searched several top products on the market and this one is the top.
I am very pleased with it. I even configured it to work with my Bluetooth GPS. With the quality of sound/speaker it has, I am pleased with all the aspect of this phone.
I feel that I can wait till the real next generation of Mobile phones to have the same power as the latest pc. (See Sony latest handheld pc to know what I am referring to)
I added a less than $30 2GB micro SD card, and I am taking videos and pictures with very satisfying qualities.
I really feal that I now have a very good phone with very clear voice quality, good GPS, good viedeo camera, good PC that has all the connectivity methods avaialble (WiFi, bluetooth, Infrared, 3G, USB, ... whaat else you need), Good Pocket PC (PDA)..
I am happy with it, overall. |
