What is it: A Pocket PC with a substantial range of connectivity options and a slide-out Qwerty keypad

We like:
The range of connectivity options; slide-out Qwerty keypad; scroll wheel
We don't like:
Its size and weight; over-complicated Windows OS
CNET UK judgement:
This is an extremely well-featured Pocket PC that also has mobile phone capabilities. HTC has made sure that it's balanced features with power so the TyTN doesn't leave you hanging when you need to access applications like Skype. It is definitely not meant for the light user and is geared towards people who need a lot of features on the go. Due to its size and weight, however, you'll need a bag if you're going to carry it around
