Cingular Go Phone: HTC TYTN II Smartphone P4551/KAISER Review

It is not so often I really like electronic devices, especially microsoft software run devices, but this device takes the cake. The complexity of mobile devices is insane today. Some devices take an amazing amount of time to learn and even then have problems that only an expert can resolve. This phone (and software) on the otherhand is absolutely user friendly and functions properly for the general public (I include myself in the general public considering my lack of programming skills, limited knowledge of the interworkings of these complex electronic devices, and the limited time I will dedicate towards configuring the devices).

As a comparison, I own two symbian phones (a nokia e61 and a sony ericsson p1i). Symbian is just trouble from the start. I thought I was crazy, but after starting to use this phone, wizards take on a new meaning. I had my gmail account setup in 30 seconds on the tytn ii unlike the numerous problems of setup with the other phones. Almost anytime I find the need to figure out a feature, I can usually find the option within 30 seconds, or if I cant, the HTC manual is complete and orderly therefore allowing a usually quick reference to determine the necessary configuration.

The number of utilities this phone has is just fabulous. Considering the phone size, many people say it is huge, I say it couldnt be better. It is smaller than my e61, although thicker. It is a bit of a brick at first touch sense it is 190grams, but with the features, you just can complain. The battery life is somewhat of a problem if you use continuous email. I have found though, that when I switch my email to only push and shut off the data connections the rest of the time, I get about three days on a charge, so truly the battery functions just well. I dont think any other devices can run a constant data connection much longer anyway.

To finish, this is my business phone. It does the job. It does it better than most other phones probably can and with greater ease (less necessary contact with your crumby tech support guys). If you need half of the options this phone delivers, dont hestitate!
