Okay ... Tuesday i powered up the TyTN II for the first time.
oh my garden ... this device is light years apart from the previous model.
i have never been a fan of a device with a slide out keyboard and i am still not but i must say the build quality looks and feels at least 10 times better.

The network wizard actually works for South Africa ( this is the first time i have seen this other than on a Eten device )
The most impressive part of this device is the Qualcomm MS 7200 chipset.

the device also supports the SD HC cards so my 4 gig micro SD can be used after all.
HTC has gone and thrown in the TouchFlo as well. you dont have the 3D cube but you do have the ability scroll with your finger with out using the scroll bars.
the 256 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM gives you ability to add even more applications without slowing down your device.
World card Mobile has been added ... take a picture of a business card and the contact details are sucked up. as with any OCR software it is not perfect but it is not dog poor. you might have to edit some details but not wholesale changes. it is a lot quicker than doing everything from scratch.

the GPS reciever is not a standalone unit. it uses the Data Channel on your device ... i used a gprs data monitor and after using the GPS for an hour the data traffic was 9KB

I have to stress this ... the Chipset on the device is like nothing i have seen before. the MS 7200 is based on dual core technology, it is not longer just your processor. the gps forms part of it as well as your video and graphics.

This is the new industry standard.

The Guy,

Have you tried VOIP and if so what one and how does it perform.

I use Skype and Skype-Out a lot on my PC, and would like to use this on my soon to arrive HTC P3600i.

I have since seen that Skype Talk does not work with many Samsung CPU's and guess what the P3600i has a Samsung.

I've been doing a little searching, and it looks like I may be able to use Fring to access my Skype-Out account.

Any tips on using VOIP will be most welcome.

Frankie, what is/was the region of the phone's software that you bought from them?

A friend of mine ordered from www.expansys.com and said that his P990i had the Irish firmware on the phone - it was not 'world generic'.

I bought a D900 from them - It was a gift for my son, so I don't have it with me to check the firmware, but it had the "park" theme, not the nice Table Mountain one found on the SA D900's. Its working perfectly on VC.

The BandRich C100 HSDPA card I bought from them works well on VC and MTN.

I'm expecting delivery of the HTC P3600i + 4G SD from them around 27 Sept. , and as far as I know that device has a generic WM6 installed.
I wished it had the GPS software included.

This will be my first play with a pocket PC and with GPS, so I have a steep learning curve coming.

Sorry - going off topic here.

About R6,180 from these guys, and I guess the shipping will be about R100
http://www.expansys.com.hk/p.aspx?i=155977

I bought a phone and HSDPA card from them, and found their prices and service very good.

Shipping is much more than R100 if you want it to arrive here, there prices are excellent but for warranty you'll have to courier it back to eXpansys.
You also have to hope that you don't pay duties & vat on your item and that some brightspark customs officer thinks it's a gift.

DHL shipping from Expansys in the UK to SA is about R1500, so add that to the price, and it's almost guaranteed you'll have to pay VAT too.

The only reason i can see Skype not working on these devices is if the network is making life hard with packet shaping to cut down on VOIP.

PM your details i and i will send it on. :cool:

I'm sure that it would be in order to post good deals on the forum, but I guess you have your reasons.

Could you please PM me the details of the price you posted.

Is that R6500 X 1.14 or including VAT?
