i tell you one thing, take any phone but a Windows Mobile device
EVERY windows mobile device does come with a 'Reset' button .... why???
since WM devices seem to crash/freeze/hang etc. a lot.
With my imate jasjar even the reset button got broken, inmagine that.

They really are targeted at different markets and are not similar at all a choice between a P1 and TytN 11 would be a fairer comparison.
P1 has it's qwerty keys, otherwise it's identical to w960. No more of a business phone. Sometimes it seems as if people don't realise that se branding is just se branding. Same phones.

I am only to aware of that fact but the lack of a qwerty keyboard on the W960 does make it less of a business device. Same as the N95 8GB is primarily a Multimedia smart phone not a business device hence it's N series monika.
Having said that by adding a SU-8W bluetooth keyboard my N95 8gb is a more than capable business device a simple and quite inexpensive upgrade to QuickOffice and it is a fully functioning business device and still has the most powerful processor found in any Symbian smart phone as well as 128mb Ram and also demand paging for increased performance.

I'm sure that was once the case, but it doesn't tie in with my experience of the tytn at all. the reset button is needed for certain configuration and software changes to apply (like restarting your pc) but in two months I've never needed to reset due to a crash or freeze. in fact I don't think it's ever crashed on me, which is a lot better than my M600i when I first got that.
It's probably fair to say that an occasional reset improves performance on a WM device, but then that's especially true of UIQ3 phones as well - they just don't have a button for it.

ok. first I don't think every thread on Esato needs to introduce the N95/N95 8GB as a comparison, especially when the topic does not call for it
secondly. I have had multiple devices in every generation of pocket pc and windows mobile device since they were invented and while its true that early iPaqs right up to pre-mobile 5450 required regular soft resets its a clear indication of someone who has not used WM2003 SE or later that they have not used such devices
since the Jam, K-Jam, JasJar, TyTN, TyTN II I have only EVER done a soft reset when required after installing software such as Resco file manger etc. Other than that I agree that every device, not just mobile phones, benefit from a restart of some kind

Not the same phones. The P1 comes with the full QuickOffice suite and together with the QWERTY keyboard makes it a proper business phone. Both of these are missing from the W960.
EDIT: The W960 does indeed also have QuickOffice. Then it comes down to the choice of with or without QWERTY.

That'll leave some people with very little to contribute . . .

One of the important things for me , when i want a phone for office use is the availability of third party application, good key board, larger screen, good customization of the desktop ( so that i can have just a peek at the phone and get all the information like appointments, mails and weather update in an instant, without having to launch an application for each of these0 and most importantly 100% sync with my laptop.
Looking at all these tytn II is the best in the market...
w960i falls behind in all these aspects.
There are many other things that make tytn II better
BUT tytn is not a good device as a phone ( more to do with the WM OS). It feels cumbersome when i use it for a phone.
W960 will top in this area. ALso multimedia should be better in w960i...
But hopefully htc will release the drivers soon and will make multimedia better in TYTN II
Another thing i am looking forward to is the new WM 6.1 (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/gallery/hanadsets/windows-mobile-61/) version that is planned to be released early next year and going by the rumors tytn II is going to get it...i saw the preview of it in endgaget forum and was impressed by the looks !!!! THis should make WM a better experience...
Again there are few other WM devices planned to be released early next year. One that i am looking forward is Ipaq 610c... loaded with features and quite the foam factor that i like. This can also be a good alternative to w960i and even tyn II
SO lots of options coming up....
Over, now all i would rate tytn II much ahead of w960i

my reasons why i'd put TYTN II ahead for W960 for now is,
i got benefit from using a decent built-in GPS, works just fine for my needs, secondly, it's a more business oriented phone, where a QWERTY keyboard is very necessarry in my case. a decent battery life is another bonus. a 3MP camera is quite ok, not as good as W960 i suppose, but i could live with it. and i need to buy a 6GB SD micro for my storage, so i am quite satisfied for now, since i previously used a P1. when comparing the stability between WM6 and UIQ 3, i thought they both perform very well. but one obvious advantage TYTN II have over W960 is the HSDPA enabled. that i can't live without

Theee 2 phone is definitely different w960 is a music phone if you use mostly for multimedia you should choose it but Tytn is made for business activities it has not only qwerty but also touch screen and it also can do the multimedia quite well but the price is 150% higher than w960.

Actually the price isn't so different - on Expansys right now, buying a Tytn II outright will cost you just £5 more than pre-ordering a W960. Of course the networks will do you a better deal on a V1615/Vario III/Stellar/Tilt etc (all branded versions of the Tytn II).
