Does anyone know how I can unlock the Vodafone v1605 (TyTN) in the UK? I should be receiving the phone tomorrow.
Thanks,
Does this mean that Vodafone UK are selling the phone?

Yes, I ordered it from Vodafone directly by phone as an upgrade. If you ask for the HTC Tytn, they will not understand. You need to ask for the Qtec v1605, and make sure they do not confuse the "v" for the Motorola series. I also went to a couple of stores in London, but did not have it in stock. They said they should have it next week. My phone arrives on Saturday.

Been following this thread closely... it's almost like a sub WM 5.0 thread in a symbian forum... I feel my hand has been forced on this issue and will definitely have to get the TyTN. (Will get the SPV M3100 as I'm on Orange). Really, just purely from software I wish to run. The fact that it has improved in the areas it needed to from it's previous incarnation have only helped its cause.
The P990 just took too long and the list of people developing for it seems smaller than ever.
I am not fussed about if I want a PDA/Phone or Phone/PDA, I just want my smartphone to be a smart as possible.
HTC TyTN.... add me to the list.

@Wam7, I was thinking the same yesterday. Its a bit strange having this thread here but there is alot of comparison posts within the thread so while it continues that way it might as well stay here I guess.
for those looking at unlocking this device, you might be interested in

windows mobile phones don't get updated online
when a firmware update is available you download an executable to your pc and run it from there and that does the installation for you.
as part of that process you are shown the current version, and the version to be installed and if its the same version you still get the choice to continue

@masseur:
Wousd that apply for the Vodafone v1605 as well? In that case, would Voda make the update available to me or will I have to take the 1605 to them for update?
Thankss

Well to keep this thread slightly more comparative than just TyTN support.... A comparison generally involves the hardware side and features and in this respect the P990 stacks up pretty well and may even come out on top in the pro/cons stake. The addition of the FM Radio was a big plus as I listen to a lot of Radio4 and from what I understand it has a radio transmitter so you can use it in your car as your mp3 player. (The TyTN has no FM radio)
If the phones came just as is and you never ran any other software on it then it would be a much closer call. When I look a little beyond that I sadly realise that for me the P990 has an Achilles heel from the point of how I want to use my smartphone.
When the developers of SMan indicated that they were not 'feeling' UIQ3. I had niggling doubts about the availability of 'killer' apps.
Killer apps for me are things such as TCPMP - it's just so handy being able to watch stuff I've captured from TV, Films, Simpson etc on my smartphone, and TomTom Mobile/Navigator; I play guitar in a group (look for them on Xfactor this year
) and I'm in a different part of the country every week, we just don't get lost anymore!
The fact that such software may or may not appear for UIQ3 gives me cause for pause, and I suspect other 'power' users like myself.
Shame really as I wanted it to do well. I will still come back to visit the this forum from time to time and see if ResidentEvil is still taking pics with his P9xx.... at least the quality of the pictures of the female form in Starbucks will improve immensely.
