Best phone ever
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This phone is incredible really. Just buy it. I got it from another store for 990$ when it was released. It was worth every penny.

Great PDA but unfortuatly ships with UK plug & converter – works but cumbersome
I have the locked version. But still beats the IPhone Hands Down.

I work for at&t and we sell this phone, great features and awesome camera 3.0mp. This phone is better than the Iphone if you are a PC user. If you own a Mac then I would recommend the Iphone. However At&t will not support customer care for any unlocked phones so buy at your own risk.
The Best out there

Few words about HTC P4550 TYTN II PDA.
I love it. Very fast, powerfull processor with tons of features.
One thig that bothers me is that some of the carachters in the keyboard are in Korean as well some of the aplications that came with it. But that’s easy to solve when you go to the internet and download from HTC website.
Little bit expensive but worse of buying.
Baggio
The best I’ve ever had.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
After a palm, two IPAQ’s and a Dell x51v, I can properly judge a Pda, and this one is the best I have ever had in my hands. With the plus of a mobile phone included.
I’ve installed all the programs I’m used to in my PDAs and it runs smoothly. The keyboard is so comfortable that I stopped taking the laptop to many of my meetings, I can manage with the HTC. Moreover, when I do take the laptop, and I don’t have a wifi connection I use the HTC as a modem. Just great!!
I highly recommend this product, it is money well invested !!!
DEFECTIVE MAIN BOARD
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I bought this HTC TYTN II in October. Had it shipped to Brazil, and once it got here there eas no sound coming out from the speaker phone or the ear phone. I took it to HTC here in Brazil and they changed the main board as it was with a problem. The repais cost me US$ 220.00! Now it’s working fine.

The product seems to be very capable and I am still learing what the phone can do.
However, if you are not comfortable managing and troubleshooting devices, this is likely not the phone for you. According to what I can find on the web, it has memory management issues. It does just lock-up periodically where you have to maintain it like most Windows devices (reboot). Sometimes this has required removing the battery.
Also, the phone does not come with a complete set of software. You get to roam the web to find other software (some free, some not) to make the phone truly capable. Language support for Windows Mobile leaves a bit to be desired. In other words, you are downloading 3rd party software to get it to handle non-standard languages (e.g. Asian languages).
tytnii has some major issues for such high end device
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought the tytnii a couple months ago and found the phone suffers from some major defects including poor speaker phone,bt implementation, as well as lack of proper video drivers. I am unsure if the speakerphone issue is related to software or hardware design; but the problem remains unresolved. Even the cheapest cell phone i have used in past, still had a decent speaker phone.
With regard to the video problem, HTC has so far indicated that it will not release video drivers that allow for the full use of the cpu. If you are thinking about buying this phone do your research before making any decision otherwise you will be disapointed as the phone is so far plagued with problems; some of which htc will not be fixing.
HTC TYTNII
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I purchased this PDA based on rave reviews from other users but I’ve been sadly disappointed by its performance so far. To start with, the phone came with a sound defect so I couldn’t set the ringer or use any of the sound functions. Then it constantly ‘hangs’ while using the email and Office functions making it quite frustrating to use. Its screen display is also not very inviting to use. I think I’m ready to go back to the Palm Treo.
Great PDA Smartphone
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I Bought it in june 28th, so I have test it 4 months. I live outside U.S. (Colombia). This is now my #1 cel phone, but I also carry another one (Nokia 2630) as second cel phone.
Great things:
1. Signal: Superb, I have had many cel phones before, including Nokia which I thing it has a great signal, but HTC TYTN II has much better signal. This one sustains signal in elevators while my nokia can’t.
2. Works great as PDA, so I don’t miss anymore my Palm Tungsten E2. Change from Palm OS to Windows Mobile was a little traumatic but it didn’t take me long. It has been a little work to recover all my information but not impossible.
3. Screen: Touch screen works really well. Tilting (40 degrees) screen is nice and comfortable to work with when you are writting over the table.
4. Sliding QWERTY keyboard is the main reason to buy it for us who don’t like front keyboards, this makes the phone a little bulky but is great.
5. Plenty of buttons: Has plenty of buttons that make it easy to operate. The 360 degree 3 way jog wheel paired with oK button (left side) is fantastic, great option to operate the phone while you are driving.
6. Setting e-mail/sms accounts was really easy and fast.
7. Bluetooth pairing with mobile headset Plantronics VOYAGER520 PLANTRONICS VOYAGER 520 BLUETOOTH HEADSET is absolutely great.
Good things:
1. Processor: 400 Mhz, works oK, it is not super-fast but certainly it is not slow. Phone turns on fast (less than 1 minute to operate).
2. Platform: Windows mobile 6 is good. Until date I have had to re-start the phone 3 or 4 times due to system fail (unable to detect end call), besides this it has worked well.
3. Camera 3 mega-pixels: Has good definition, works precisely.
4. HTC Home screen is nice, very interactive. Weather update is unaccurate for me (I live in Bogotá but weather seems like Cartagena), but that is resource problem (www.accuweather.com)
Not so Good:
1. Camera: Does not has flash, so don’t expect to get good insides pictures.
2. Battery: Weak point, don’t expect your battery to last more than 24 hours, and much less if you use it heavily. Requires car charger, charge through USB.
3. Speaker: It is not so loud.
4. Stylus: a little bit small in comparison with stylus of palm tungsten, but it is oK. (Recommendation: I have over my table my old stylus, so I use it frequently instead).
5. I bought a SanDisc 8GB memory and it works oK (phone comes with 1 GB)
I have not problems with delivery, in the box I found:
1. User manual in english. You can also find manuals in many languages at the HTC web page, which I think is really good.
2. AC adapter: ok.
3. USB Sync Cable: Very important!!!!, because not only synchronizes data BUT also let you charge the battery during day.
4. Pouch: Fits perfect, it is nice. It is not leather material. It only has a slip-over belt clip on the rear, so if you are planning to secure your device (metro, bus, etc) I would advice you to buy a leather case with belt loop slot (I bought: Horizontal Leather Case with Belt Clip/Loop for the HTC TyTN II.
Best Phone and PDA of 2007
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I own the kaiser since November 2007. It has almost everything one could desire from a smartphone: The speaker sounds great, even being so small and against a surface. The cameras work fine. The GPS is awsome, can detect the satellites in seconds. With the Garmin Mobile XT, it is unbelievable great. The buttons are well distributed, you have a scroll wheel, very useful. Even though the lack of the drivers to better performance, I use Core player TCPM, and can see movies perfectly, without any delay. I use the kaiser for work and joy, and it is amazing. Recommend it 100%. See reviews all over the internet and decide for yourself.

Surprise! You get a Chinese Version
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This product is very good. However nowhere in the purchase steps you are told that you will receive all your manuals and CDs in Chinese. That`s true Chinese!!! I`ve already tried to cantact Amazon by e-mail in order to obtain the manuals and CDs in English, but unfortunately I was not even answered. Fortunatley HTC Brazil phone support was very good and told me how to fix things. I’m using it w/ Claro 3G data service in Rio de Janeiro and it works fine.
Quite Dsappointed
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
The phone arrived with manual in chines language, useless for me (although you must have such manual in order to operate such smartphone).
In addition, The hardware keypad also had chines letters on it(beside english letters) which left no room for Hebrew letters I have intended to add.
Does not live up to expectations
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I would not recommend this phone to anyone. In an attempt to compete with the release of the iPhone, HTC (the maker of this phone) rushed this thing out the door without including proper hardware drivers. The result is poor touchscreen performance, poor refresh rates and video playback, sluggish UI, and excessive battery drainage. HTC has mentioned that while they advertised the hardware as part of their selling point, it is up to the consumer to discover whether or not the stated hardware will actually be used. It has no plans to include drivers in the future, but will do so in new models to come out that it will be happy to sell you. Buyer beware! This phone literally performs worse than its predecessor the 8525. [...]
