P.S. I also like the fact that they have included a symbol to show you when you have selected CAPS lock and also numberic lock....
that was also there on the k-jam but you had to apply a registry setting to activate it as there was no user interface way of setting it on.
I have found a tiny problem with mine. The return key (the one just under the jog dial) sticks a bit sometimes but a small press of the housing just below it pops it out again. I'll see if this persists or wears away before deciding to talk to HTC about it.
I wonder how many people here have switched to the TyTN in preference to the P990 as the comparison of the two was the original purpose of this thread?
I also wonder how many are gettnig both because they cannot make their mind up!
I'm at the point where I feel I am just going through the motions with the P990 but I really want to give it a fair chance. I guess it doesn't hurt to already have an opinion and try my hardest to make the P990 equal that opinon...

I agree with you, i am almost getting the p990 because i have been waiting so long to use it! Have you completely fallen out of love with the M600i, i remember a few weeks ago you were enjoying it, or like me were you enjoying the form factor?

no, I love the M600! I won't be getting rid of that, but the TyTN or the P990 will have to go once the decision is made
The M600 is great and will be the device I use when I need PDA/good internet capabilities in a small inconspicuous device and the TyTN/P990 for general every day use

I was thinking about getting both the P990 and TyTN but after my experience with WM5 on the XDA Exec I feel the things I need are not well catered for in WM5:
- I make a lot of calls and I need good comms hardware and excellent BT signal quality, these were real problems with the JJ/Exec. The delayed wake-up issue may not be a problem with the TyTN but the WM5 solution includes two OSs (yes!) the comms part uses a real-time Linux kernel
- I love listening to good quality music reproduction and so far SE and Sony devices have been the best for me. The M600 with the HBH-DS970 is superb, the bass control and general stereo 'sound stage' reproduction is much better than on the JJ/Exec (again the TyTN DSP hardware may be different in this respect)
- I don't want to reset every two days because RAM is running low. Okay the M600 is better after a reflash/Masetr Reset after 2/3 weeks, but I see this problem being solved in upgrades. Never needed to reset any of my mature Symbian devices like the P910, Nokia 9500 & 7710
EDIT: web browsing on the JJ/Exec with Opera is fantastic and I suspect it will be very good on the TyTN. But I decided a while ago that I would use my Ultra Portable Vaio with a 3G/HSDPA card for web browsing. So web browsing is not a killer issue for me

Jah, i think stereo BT quality in the tytn is on par with that of the m600i/p990i(or is it Masseur?) and you can play various formats not playable on the SE smartphone(ogg...).As for RAM problems, well there even more blattant on the UIQ3 if you ask me. Maybe it ll be solved in future updates but so far they didn t...
As for comms part i think it s a myth : it s now as good on the Tytn as on symbian smartphones.Again should it not be the case, Masseur please chime in and correct me!

- music reproduction. Well Sleepyhead lives near me so I will compare with music files I use on my M600. But the quality on the JJ/Exec was so bad I in part blamed Windows Media Player
- call quality and no delay for wake-up from Power Save, well I will wait and check the reviews and the xda developers forum to see what people say
- loss of RAM is an inherent issue with the persistent memory technology used for WM5, not the case with SYmbian. WM5 will build caches as it goes along and these are not released back as RAM as far I remember from reading a blog by a M$ developer

The JasJar was a poor implementation of WM5 in my opinion and thats why I soon got rid of it.
I do agree with corentins comments and can also say that call quality is improved over the k-jam.
I did try Opera for WM5 but gave it up and still prefer the pocket IE, especially when combnied with the extras that SPB Plus gives such as multiple windows etc

For WM5 devices try Pocket Player by
www.conduits.com .
Dont worry about changing any of the EQ settings, except for the bass boost.
The piece of software is mind blowing with every type of music.
@jah - try this with your Sennheiser PX-100 and then you will really hear what they can do.

@Gavin,
I hope Sleepyhead can install that app and i will try it on the TyTn, but still fear issues around call quality, wake-up delays and poor BT signal strenght
