> P990 vs HTC TyTn
Bookmark topic
I just today purchased a TyTn (i-mate JASJAM) as a data device. Comparing it with my M600 (which I use as my primary phone) I think that I made the right choice.
For me, it was easy to pick between TyTn and P990i:
1. EDGE is only available on TyTn, and this is what I had a subscription for.
2. Keyboard is a lot easier to use.
3. ActiveSync guaranteed compatible
4. g-level wifi. Great because some areas do not allow non-g connections
The rest of the plus/minuses (like better camera on the 990 and the radio feature) didn't apply to me as I hardly ever used the camera on my K750 -- the grand sum of pictures I took: 7 in the year that I had it.
I love my M600 and I am racking up quite a SMS count because its so easy to tap them out on the nice keyboard.
I say between the 990 and the TyTn, data connectivity was the main selling point for me. I tried the P990 without the flip to test the keyboard, and I found myself getting many misses because I have fat fingers
In size, the two are almost equal in length, but M600 wins in weight and width.

That reminded me of this line from the movie

Correct.....Ive seen a few WM5 handsets in action and the people who i know that have one speak VERY highly of them (one of which has had a P900 and a P910i). Most say to go for TyTN over P990i but mostly because the type of device im after is more suited to PPC over smartphone.
My experience of the P900 has been VERY good so far as to say have only had to replace the flip once. Though software-wise it has crashed countless times LOL. Had mine since March 2004 so its had a good ol running
After the end of the day when I log off my computer, the last thing I need is another windows based computer in my hand. So I prefer Symbian. More fun to me. I had a wm mobile device, but personally I just love the Symbian platform and my P900 has been rock solid since April 2004.

The one and only thing i miss on my P990i that the Windows Mobile has is the standby screen. There are just to much space not to be used

The unbranded P990 has the today screen, it's worth getting the phone unbranded for!
I have used an SPV 3100 (TYTN) and P990, P990 wins every time. I use P990i one handed, couldn't realy do that with TYTN.
Flip/qwerty just works so much better than touchscreen/slide out keypad!

I have an unbranded phone. I mean that there is a lot of space not being used. And you cant add anything. Dont mean the Today Screen, I mean the Standby Screen

Hi all,
Well so far have had my TyTn for about 4hrs to play with and so far it's all good setup of a MSN and Yahoo E-Mail accounts were a doddle as was WiFi. It 's been a long time since i have had a Windows Device but so far so good and it is quick and easy. Lots of playing to do in the next few days to really get to grips with it all. But so far have added Voice command and Skype ordered a 2gb card and for me the obligatory Krusell case and i am considering a Martin Fields Screen Protector.

@Dogmann:
You used to own a P990i, right? Did you have the IEC-20 case for it? In case you still have it then put your TyTN in it. You will find that it fits perfectly!

Had a M600 and always sell the case with a phone along with all the accessories. Always get a Krusell case so when ever i come to sell my kit it is always mint. I suppose being 47 makes me a little more careful with my devices as have slowed down some what.
