WM5 has thousands of apps. I can recommend any app you need for a particular job, so just ask.
And as good as the TyTn is, if you can wait a few months.... something else might be out there , that is really hot...

Sorry to digress, but it was evident from very early on that the K-Jam was under powered. I would assume that this upgrade is sufficiently powerful to not be affected by the same flaws. Anyone out there placed to give a comparison? Does the TyTn hang? Need for Soft Reset or Hard Reset? Anyone tried TomTom? Anyone tried doing 3 things at once with it? Please make any other points you feel relevant.
Many thanks |

Probably the Trinity which has everything the TyTN has but without the keyboard and including GPS. |

WIFI G supports WIFI B. The difference is the speed. Limit for WIFI B is 11Mb/s  |

Yer wifi G is backward compatible....some access points (mine does) allow you to choose between, purely G, purely b, or g and b. aslong as yours is using g and b both then either device will work fine. |

Very true, and of course there is also the issue with some access points where all "g" devices are slowed as soon as a "b" device connects, although I think more recent kit handles "b" and "g" devices together much better these days. |

My girlfriend has just got that phone today and i must say i am very impressed with it. I had a K-Jam (as did she) and i must admit i was a very big fan of it. I have only been playing with the phone this evening but i have already seen some improvements over the K-Jam...firstly the jog dial, is brillant, so much better then the tiny M600i one, i also love the fact that this is the first WM5 phone that i have used that i can fully operate one handed, this is mainly to do with the jog dial. The keyboard is improved as well, although some of the keys feel a tiny bit squshed...also another thing that i noticed is there is no lag when opening up the keyboard and the screen turns to landscape (there was a bit of a lag with the K-Jam)....also when comparing the looks of the K-Jam to the Tytn, the K-Jam does look like a bit of a toy next to it....
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
