Wednesday, October 01, 2008It's a great phone, the Apple iphone is a little better but the difference is you cant put insurance on the apple iphone with AT&T BUT you can put insurance on the G1.

Wednesday, September 24, 2008Everyone who make use of the HTC Tytn or Tytn II like me have a good laugh about iPhone and this Fun-Phone without any business function and without any third-party software to extend the functions for individual wishes. My next Phone will be again from HTC with Mobile Windows...

Wednesday, September 24, 2008i like the fact that it's thin and the keys aren't the rubbery type material which peel off after hard usage. I also like that it has the landscape portrait mode still which comes very useful. Great review maybe a peek at the messaging would have been great other than that i cant wait to start seeing these out.

1/5/2009 1:40:24 PMseriously how stupid can people be? it has a god damn keyboard so complaining about its size is not a valid complaint. they can't make it the smallest possible with a keyboard you can use. use common sense. i for one view this as my dream phone since i always had sidekicks and never liked the idea of the iphone, because it had no tactile keyboards. this phone combines the two to make for an excellent phone for someone like me.
