HTC TyTN II User Reviews

Even though its pretty old now, the tilt is my best phone to use. It has so many ways to customize itself. It can become anything. My tilt is currently a HTC touch diamond. The Internet speed on the tilt is blazing fast. It can almost compare with the Iphone, but the iphone is a little bit faster than the tilt. The tilt can also get ROM updates which is very good because then it is fully customizable. What I like most about the HTC tilt is that the tilt can get TouchFlo 3d or TouchFlo 2d (Manila 2D).

Let me start by saying that I haven't owned too many mobile devices, so this review might be skewered on experience.. So, I had a CU500 that was pick-pocketed off of me in Flagstaff, and AT&T was oh so complient with their insurance policy to NOT replace my device, and so told me to buy a GO! phone and sent me a backup SIM card for it, but a friend offered to give me his spare Blackjack in exchange for a pack of smokes, then it stopped charging and so I invested in a Nokia E70 and an HTC Tilt.
So, I got the phone with basic HTC Home and the Black Dialer SKin (photo)

The TyTnII is on of the best mobiles around, reliable. It's fast though it can slowdown when many apps are running. One of its bad things is the hand free which is terrible. Slide feature is beautiful with QWERTY. One will find endless applications on the net.

This device is good, yes. But could be so much better if HTC would have put the correct graphics drivers in it. I like the device and have fully custimized it. Stock this device is practicly un usable. I have no idea how this device got a 9.8.

The tilt in my opinion is still one of the better if not more favorable data phone out there, it is not only reliable but it is expandable, with updates like windows 6.1 video share is now included, and with skyfire's beta browser the phone pretty my works as a lap top for someone who could use that much access and information with out carrying one around... The phone is by no means one of the most mobile devices as its large to make pocketing it inconvinient but that aside out of working with phones all the time I'd have to say I'd see the least errors with tilts and actually htc in general compared to the other manufacturer's data phones including blackberry and even apple.. I had an iphone and even though its awesome its not as universal and likewise expandable. You can't beat buttons with a touch screen alone, not yet at least in my opinion.....

this phone has a lot of features, the touch screen is farely accurate, and the keyboard is pretty good, but it's bulky, heavy, and sometimes slow. also, to me it's not soo attractive..

One of the best smart phones i've ever used, i had the i-crap for about two weeks and returned it to at&t so i can get this phone instead.... I have never looked back... Had the 6.0 wm but, just updated to 6.1 wm yesterday it's even better than my 6.0.... great phone gotta have

My work really needs a good PPC and Since i started I did use Imate pocket PC and then Imate jasjam .. but honestly when I used HTC tyTN II it really made my work life much much easier the keyboard and typing long email really I enjoy it and I enevr get tired of using it.
The only problem that I really face till now its the battery life specially if you will use the LAN most of the time .. but overall its really a good device and I recommend for anyone who wants a smart nice device to help him for work.
 

I know now days Technology enlights us with it's constact improvement, tools, devices and most of all knowledge. HTC is part of this improvemente. HTC has created PDA phones that are beyond of what is expected of a Smartphone. Apple created the Ipod and the Iphone.  As a matter of fact for those that like the Iphone there are CAB files with all the Iphone features as I custom my (HTC At&t Tilt).
HTC has started the future of technology in the Cell Phone market, and thanks to that, a cell phone is not a cell phone anymore is a communication machine with no bounderies.

This thing has only one drawback. Weight. It's a functional design and I think it's one of the best looking. I like simplicity and I really like the keyboard that slides out. My only issue is it is a little stiff (keyboard buttons.) On the ouside letters it feels soft and responsive. The inner keys are still pretty stiff though. But then again I barely text so I can't honestly complain. It's got a nice OS, Great Browser, Built in support for Google Maps (with live tracking in Beta) and the battary life is fine. If you don't mind charging it every night. Worth the price tag (I think with a 2 year contract it's around $250 right now.) and I only have one question to AT&T. WHY KEEP APPLE iPHONES WHEN YOU HAVE THIS BEAST ON THE LINE UP!?!?

I finally managed to get my hands on this phone is India in April.
The two things that i think missed the Mark as the Audio Output on the Speaker & the Battery Life.

But, appart from these two short comings. I do not find any appreant problems with the phone.

What is love the most is your feel the full power of a 400 Mhz processer under the hood.

Fast, classy, great keyboard, great screen. Just awesome in general. A bit heavy and the camera could be better but still a great PPC.

I bought the phone Feb, 18 2008. I really lilke the phone, i had to buy it out right since at&t wouldn't work out a 1 year exception upgrade with me, so i had to put down alot of money. Anyways, the phone makes great calls i can hear great and the speaker phone is clear. The touch screen is really convienent. The keyboard is one of my favorite features and the tilt screen is great if you wanna lay the phone down and watch a video or just use the stylus. The wifi is a great feature, the only thing is sometimes if i have a weak signal it wiil jump to edge, not sure if there is a way to prevent that or not. The camera is really good quality. This phone gets great service too, this is the only phone that i have had that i can drvie home and not hit a dead spot and loose a call. The only down fall about the phone i have noticed is that it is kinda heavy, no big deal though i have already gotten used to it. Over all it's great.

I have been using AT&T cellphones for a while, in 2007, I have tried first the 8700c, then the BlackJack and now the Tilt, overall, Tilt is a great investment for the $174.99 I paid for. It does everything and it's sleek, The Blackjack isn't bad, but I needed something that I can playback my video reel and Tilt does a superb job.

For the money, for what it does for me, it is the best investment I've made so far.

I have had my Tilt for about a week now, and it is the complete package. I love the GPS, the sound quality is great, and the speed of the phone is wonderful. The picture quality is good, and more imporantly, the durability of the phone is wonderful. HTC and AT&T did a great job in manufactoring this phone. I had the Blackjack II for about a day and a half, but this phone just is simply amazing, so I had to get it.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PHONE TO COME OUT. I FINALLY MADE THE SWITCH FROM VERIZON. THE PHONE IS INCREDIBLE, SO MANY FEATURES. THE CAMERA 3MP IS GREAT I TAKE VIDEO AND PICTURES.....THEY ARE GREAT!!!!! THE PHONE IS A MINI COMPUTER I SURF THE WEB THAT WORKS FINE. I PICKED UP A 2GB MEMORY CARD WHICH SEEMS TO HOLD A LOT OF MP3'S. THE WIFI I HAVEN'T USED YET. IT HAS PUSH TO TALK THAT WORKS PRETTY GOOD. IT CHECKS YOUR EMAIL AND RECEIVES TEXT MESSAGES. MY FAVORITE FEATURE IS THE GPS. I USED THE GOOGLE MAPS, SWITCHED TO WINDOWS LIVE SEARCH.....WORKS GREAT WITH THE PHONE. THIS IS THE BEST PHONE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED, IT DOES MY SCHEDULING ALSO. THE BEST ALL IN ALL PHONE FOR THE MONEY.

CONS: ARE THE BATTERY LIFE ...PURCHASED A BIGGER BATTERY...
THE SCREEN BROKE MISTERIOUSLY........GOT NEW PHONE AND A METAL CASE FOR PROTECTION.

This phone is unbelievable!!!! I stopped lugging my laptop around with me. You will need a extra battery though. Best I ever owned.

I have been looking for a new phone/pocket PC combo for a while now .. and this was worth the wait. I looked at two options .. the I-Phone and the TYtN II.

Some seem to be confused about the TYTN II and AT&T Tilt. They are 2 different devices. Very similar .. yes...but not the same. Both originate as the TYtN II .. but AT&T stripped the processor's speed . and took the Bus Card Reader out, and no front camera for conf. calls .. before offering it to its customers. The front cam. is not a big issue as of the date of this review .. as AT&T still does not offer video conferencing to its customers. Why they would choose t strip the processor sped from its original 400mghz .. is beyond me. I guess to make it cheaper .. but it really slows down performance between programs. I can run 10+ programs at the same time .. and make a call with no comp lag .. that's the power of the TYtN II!

This is not a comparison of the two .. so on with the show.

The real TYtN II .. is a bit pricey .. only found thru HTC. For me however it is worth every penny. Feature packed program/software.. and all run smoothly for me. The only complaint I have is not on the phone ...but with AT&T's service. The TYtN II simply FLYS thru its paces .. really an amazing piece of technology in a small bundle.
Smooth interface between programs .. and touch-flo .. gives smooth scrolling through all multi page screens. Touch-flo acts like the I-phones "touch a bility" .. with out the hype. Easy to use .., and fairly intuitive to learn. I came from a HP pocket PC loaded with software to make it do what I wanted .. but I have yet to purchase any software for the TYtN II as it came with all I need and more.

IMO (one of 6 devices over the past 5 years) the TYtN II is the best device of its kind available today. It is truly a portable office in the palm of my hand. Again it is a bit pricey but if processor power and a complete office to go experience is what your after .. look no further.
The only device that currently even compares (in this class) is the I-Phone. TYtN II offers more power . more software (included) .. and a problem free phone. Tilt screen makes it easy to view and use in its many wide screen program friendly features. Email is a breeze with a full slideout qwerty keyboard...."two thumbs-a-blazing ..lol.

Dig out your wallet .. and plop down for the top of the line currently offered. A bit pricey ..yes .. but don't accept the poor processor speed and stripped software AT&T version .. yes its cheaper .. but you get what you pay for.

Enjoy ...

I had been waiting since April to switch from Verizon, finally I did. I managed to get the first arrival in the store yesterday. It is a good looking device. Never had anything like this before. Finally integrated everything in one. It has everything you can think of for a phone. It switches smoothly between 3g and the E networks. It does catch finger prints.The tilt feature makes it easy to read. It is a mini computer with a lot to offer. It synced with my pc smoothly and get gmail which is great. I still need to read the manual to discover all its capabilities. I highly recommend this phone. It is heavy one though.

I just got today AT&T Tilt. Amazing device, it is really complete. If you want a phone that is compatible with every single service that AT&T offers this is the one for you. It is more comfortable to carry than the previous model the 8525. The built in GPS is an excellent addition! The autofocus and the 3.2 Megapixel camera just awesome!!

This phone is awesome, other than the fact that it's hella heavy.
Even though the CPU isn't the fastest in the market, everything still goes pretty smoothly.
It is an expensive piece of equipment, but it worths!!!
