PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless 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.

30-sec bootup?!?

I dunno...I want what is theoretically possible with a smartphone, but I also don't like sluggish phones. 30 seconds to boot up? I just don't think I could tolerate it. Do you just avoid turning the thing completely off?

I also hear that there's no such thing as a smartphone that's a good *phone*. My g/f's Treo 600 is not (the Palm OS is nice, though I wish it had the Graffiti), and a couple friends with Crackberrys don't like the phones in them, either. I have Verizon now, and their premier offering (the Motorola Q9m) has limitations as well (some of which Verizon put in to rip off^H^H^H^H^H^H^H "add value for" its customers). My contract is up, though ;)

I don't turn off my phone, no, so the 30sec bootup is not a problem. When traveling, you can use Flight Mode.
