CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.9

View score

The good: A host of data connectivity options including HSDPA; GPS with bundled maps; good battery life; 3-megapixel autofocus camera.

The bad: Heavy and bulky; still QVGA display; no camera light; no audio mini-jack.

The bottom line: It may not be a quantum leap compared with the 838 Pro, but the TyTN II maintains what power users loved in the previous iteration--with a few extras.

Nearly There....



Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Dual camera (front & back), Latest version MapKing preinstalled with free registration for 1 map, Good home screen interface, Full QWERTY keypad, nice camera (3MP CMOS color camera with auto focus on the back), Finger scrolling and panning, 3-way Jog Wheel
Cons: Awkwardly place buttons (placed near to the screen when screen is tilted), No maps of east Malaysia, Very bad phone reception
Opinion:
Overall, I'm satisfied with it. I gave it a 7 due to its good interface, slid out QWERTY keypad, tilted screen option and the preinstalled programs. Camera is good but lacking a flash but it’s still ok. I've also read the petition on XDA developers about the QUALCOMM MSM7200 processor which HTC says, is "supposedly" fast. My real and only beef with this gadget is reception. IT’S REALLY BAD! I’m online nearly 70% of the day and I lose data connection half of the time. At first I was blaming the coverage of my network but I began to lose reception even going into a lift or a staircase. My Nokia 6100 gets better reception than this one! The constant reconnection of the data really drains the battery.

 

The Best PDA phone ever...



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Great GPS Programme Using Mapking. Speaker Loud and Clear while the Mic is sensitive. Built-in camera is clear (3 Mega Pixel). Light Indicators to show Cap mode and Fn mode on Qwerty Keyboard. MSN Messenger available.
Cons: Short battery life is GPS is utilised (2 - 3 days once GPS is activated for long sessions. Bulky (but that's what you expect from SMART phones)
Opinion:
I used to use its predecessor cousin. I find this Tytn II so much more affordable and reliable. It was really money well-spent. I have not regretted one single bit of my decision in spending that $500 ++ to purchase this phone.

 

dont look any further
