In Santa Clara last week I lost my phone (I think in a Taxi) so I decided to upgrade; those that know me will not be surprised 😉
My upgrade is, well, an impressive little beast. In fact it isn’t even widely available yet in Canada and when it will be it will cost at least 2x more than what I paid for mine thanks to some power searching on eBay.
Here is a wicked review of this phenomenal smart phone – the TyTN 2 (pronounced “Titan 2”). I can’t wait to get it!!

Reviews from Authorities
OVERALL IMPRESSION (From PocketNow.com)
Two words: Very Impressed. I don’t even care that I don’t have HSDPA or even UMTS support where I live. The TyTN II does it all. For me, the improved Bluetooth and consequently improved Voice Command via Bluetooth recognition capabilities are well worth it alone. Add on top of that a much improved GPS Navigation implementation (compared to the P3300), a slide out keyboard/flip-up screen, TouchFLO scrolling, 3MP autofocus camera, and a ton of memory… and there’s no turning back. The TyTN II truly is the ultimate mobile companion… at least for now.
