Almost Perfect
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.

Good Product
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.

The phone lie us!
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.

Couldn't get worse
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 - Windows Mobile Pocket PCHTC has been producing Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones for a long time, but it is only with the Pocket PC TyTN (and a new Windows Mobile Smartphone the MTeoR) that the company has come out into the open and made products available under its own name. It had previously used the Qtek brand name for selling its own products, but that brand has been shelved.
Where you will have seen HTC’s wares before is in Windows Mobile Smartphones and Pocket PCs branded by network operators. The advantage of buying in this way is that you get a generous operator subsidy on the hardware. The advantage of buying SIM free is that you can chop and change operator as you see fit.
Also, in this case the TyTN (pronounced ‘titan’) simply isn’t available directly from any operators yet, though you can find it bundled with some operator deals by third parties such as Expansys right now.
3G is a rarity for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs. It’s only been seen in one other device, a large format, Tablet PC style swivel screened Pocket PC known, among other things, as the Orange SPV M5000.That is a good device, and this reviewer uses one regularly, but it is large for the average pocket.
The TyTN deals with that by reducing the overall size of the hardware and still including a very good keyboard. The trick is one we’ve seen before in (non 3G) predecessors to this device. The keyboard slides out from the left edge of the casing. As you slide it out to use it, the screen reorients itself from the portrait (tall) format it uses in standard mode to landscape (wide) mode, ready for you to start typing.
The TyTN has a touch sensitive screen, and when you don’t want to pull out the keyboard you can use an on-screen tappable one, or two types of handwriting recognition – one by writing into a recogniser window the other by writing direct to anywhere on the screen. A stylus lives in a slot on the bottom back right edge of the TyTN for this and other screen-prodding duties.
The need to accommodate the keyboard means the TyTN is rather thicker than the average Pocket PC – just a whisker under 22mm thick, in fact, which feels totally out of proportion to its other measurements of 112.5 mm tall and 58 mm wide.
But on the plus side, the TyTN is an ideal mobile email system. Holding it in two hands and tapping at the keyboard with thumbs allows for fast typing – faster, this reviewer found, than that possible with the likes of a BlackBerry or other device with a smaller front facing keyboard – and as yet there is no 3G BlackBerry anyway.
As well as using the TyTN to tap out emails, it comes with Word Mobile and Excel Mobile, which produce documents compatible with their Microsoft Office counterparts. For those who like their email on the move both POP3 and Microsoft Exchange based push systems are supported.
There is a small front facing camera for video calling, and a larger one on the back for shooting stills and video at resolutions up to 2 megapixels. Unusually this has a macro mode, which you get to simply by swivelling a small lever on the lens. There is a flash and self portrait mirror, and a fairly good array of settings and features including burst and sports shooting modes and a panorama stitch mode, for example.
A neat system of on screen tappable menus provides access to all these options. The TyTN screen turns into a viewfinder when you are in camera mode and shifts into landscape orientation, the shutter button for the camera resting under your right forefinger.
While on the topic of buttons, HTC has done well with the array it provides for accessing system functions. Sitting above the screen a pair of buttons take you to the built in messaging centre (for email, SMS, MMS management), and to Pocket Internet Explorer for using the Web. Under the screen there are no less than seven button functions plus a navigation key and central select button, but these are nicely designed in a neat panel so that they don’t look too plentiful or messy.
Call and End buttons are at the far left and right of this panel, with vertical rockers inside them whose top end maps to the Windows Mobile soft menus (you can also tap these menus, of course), and whose bottom end take you to the applications menu and act as an OK function.
Inside these is the navigation button, while to the very far left a small round button is dedicated to video calling.
On the right side is the camera activation and shutter button already noted, the main power button and one which opens the standard Windows Mobile Comm Manager – a set of menus you can use to turn on and off the various wireless communications features. As well a 3G the TyTN accommodates Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and infra red. Wi-Fi means it can be used for using the Internet via any Wi-Fi network you have access to, and potentially for Voice over IP too.
On the left side there is a button that on a short press calls up the built in voice control software, and on a long press starts the built in voice recorder. Above this is a scroll wheel which sits neatly under the thumb and small OK button.
All this might sound like overload, especially if you remember there is a touch screen here as well, but in fact the result is a system that is very easy to use in the way you like best – some like to tap the screen, some prefer buttons.
With 128MB of built in memory the TyTN should cope with your diary, address and general information needs and leave space to install some of the mountain of add-on software available. But if you want to play music through the Windows Media Player, or store lots of additional information, then you’ll want more memory. This comes in the shape of microSD cards and the slot is on the left edge of the casing. It isn’t covered, which is a little annoying, but at least this location means you can swap cards easily.
