I have been palying with N93 today and I am making a point of locking on to 3G network and changing seamlessly from Std to 3G network. The Nokia is top class in that respect.
Just to make a point while waiting for the P990. N93 has an incedible built quality and the sofware never crashed once. I guess the symbian 60 3rd edition is well and trully stable now. The N93, apart from the camera not being as good as expeted (taking photos that is, because video is incredible) gives you a feeling of being a superior device.. It really oozes quality..Nokia wanted to demonstrate their prowess with this one I think.
So the P990 is now even mop\\re eagerly awaited....Lets see..

no problem, the TyTN is GSM and UMTS and so a 2.5G SIM should be okay.

OK well I have been using my TyTN for over a week now. Firstly the battery problems that seem to plague the Jasjar have not surfaced. Also I have had no problem locking on with a 3G signal. In fact I use T-Mobile and the speeds I get seem very good indeed.
I use my one mainly for email and web browsing and I have to say that its far better then the M600 was. I suspect that it will be the same case with the P990. Whilst out on Sat I was able to access my home web cam very easily and the picture quality even out in the sunlight was good.
For me that needs a PDA first and a phone second its the best option that works well with Exchange server.

it seems you and I have the same needs. Excellent pics thanks.
I have never been so undecided as I am about these twom having used the k-jam for a year and the M600 for a month or so...
I feel I will probably end up with the TyTN but will probably also get the P990 and make a comparison much as I did when I got the k-jam and JasJar and used them both before deciding
Trouble is, there is a 3rd part to this for me. The M600 size vs functionality is making me not want to give up the M600 either!
I'm not bothered about the camera, I do miss wifi but I'm not sure its worth carrying a larger device for
arrrgghhhh!

@cam1701
the TyTn looks very small and compact.
How long on a typical day are you locked to a 3G signal? With my m600 I am locked onto one 85% of the time and 100% when I am at home. My battery usage can vary - at the end of the day I can 70% left or 25% left depending on what 've done but I never need to re-charge mid-day. My typical usage:
- BT 12 hrs
- BT music streaming (HBH-DS970) between 1 and 3 hrs
- web for about 30 minutes
- calls, about 30 mins
- PIM etc 20 mins
How much life do you get from your TyTN?
How does wifi wen browsig compare to 3G?
Do you have a 3G Vodafine SIM? If so could you see if you can get HSDPA (T-mobile will start in September I think)

I have had the unit about a week and so far battery life has been very good. I have not had time to do any specific tests but my aim is to try later this week with wifi, bluetooth and 3g battery life. Yesterday the TyTN went all day and to this morning on standby and power used was 10% on the meter which seems pretty good when compared to the Jasjar.
As for 3G signal its been equal to my K800 or Jasjar for holding signal. I do not have any link to a speed test for 3G. Now I have been told that T-Mobile went live with HSPDA at the begining of Aug and certainly the TyTN is faster then my Jasjar is on web pages. Its actually similar speed to wifi on some pages.
@masseur
I did like the M600 and the size but I use the push mail with exchange and I find the TyTN far more slick. Also for me I really need wifi becuase it means at home I can use it instead of using up my 2gig per month on my mobile account. If the M600 had wifi and a better interface with Exchange it would be more attractive to me. It was a close call between the P990 and the TyTN but the HSPDA won it for the TyTN.
