The TYTN II has 3G, qwerty keyboard and a bigger screen. Generally it is a lot better. £150 is a great price to upgrade after only 4 months.

i use sometimes a trinity, really impressed by wm mobiles lately. sadly tytn hasnt got that powerful batt like trinity, imo thats a minus.

Yeah, thats what i thought... do you think i will get £150+ for my touch? its a damn god phone... infact i may keep it too, or give it to the GF...... hmmmmm!
with upgrades tho, do you still get the 14 day returns thingy? that way if i dont get on with it i can send it back

not only 3g but hsdpa so if you, like me, do alot of data that can really make a difference.
you'll probably want to compare sizes because, of course, the TyTN II is bigger. But I carry mine in my trouser pocket quite comfortably.
Battery is fine, with ALOT of usage (including GPS) I still have 50% at the end of most days
you get a 3mp camera with autofocus as opposed to a 2mp with fixed focus
you also get part of the touch features. i.e. the scrolling up and down the page, so its not all lost.

thankyou! I try telling people that but they won't have it. Its also a bit heavier but its only 180g so its not like its going to tire you out making phone calls!
good luck! if you head over to xda developers I dare say you'll be able to debrand it too, and Orange can give you an unlock code within a couple of days if that is what you want

Actually it's 190g so you may need to shift the phone between left and right hand if you're on a long phone call to avoid being exhausted
