PureMobile sent us in the most talked about recent HTC smartphone for a review, the TyTN-II (codename "Kaiser"). We give it a whirl and of course, we can't help out ourselves by comparing it to the iPhone but also to the QTek 9100.

A couple of co-workers recently upgraded to this phone with AT&T who re-branded it to the, "AT&T Tilt." While the name may bring memories of old pin-ball machines this phone is incredible.
True, it has no (camera) flash like it's predecesors (AT&T 8125, etc.) it still has a lot to offer. Especially in the increased ROM and storage capacities.
The only minor setback noted by both people is that when the screen is tilted, the top row of the keyboard is partially blocked by the tilt action. But since both had the AT&T 8125 & 8525, thise didn't tilt, so they're used to typing w/o the screen tilt.
The screen is superb and the speed of the device is faster than the AT&T 8525 which has a 400MHz ARM CPU but runs Windows Mobile 5, not Windows Mobile 6.
When you pick it up and palm this device, it feels very sweet. Then the envy starts. Followed by the number-crunching.....
