A real frustration with HTC TyTn ii

Now first of all, I know that it is probably outdated to be talking about HTC TyTn ii now that the latest HTC Evo 4G is emerging. Well, just to let those of you guys who are changing new phones all the time...it is great to be doing that...new gadgets, tech and all that are real cool. But there is always this problem. If you keep changing phones, you are actually contributing to the pollution of the environment. (I'll be starting a blog on this soon enough)

Well, saying that doesn't mean I won't change a new smartphone but let us learn to appreciate and make full use of our phones.

Well, I'm having a hard time trying to use my sis' HTC TyTn ii. I'm still using my HTC P3600i which is my love. Although the specification of these phones are not as great as iPhone, HTC Desire, Nexus One and others, with the right applications, my phone is pretty useful for everything.

Anyway, back to HTC TyTn ii. To be honest, I'm at the point of giving up. (as I suspect that the issue with the phone is hardware, and my sis phone no longer under warranty.)
I tried flashing the ROM again with the official update from the HTC page and I even asked around people in the forum.
But none of them actually solve the problems with the phone. The HTC TyTn ii has been freezing and even crash at times. This happened almost everyday. I even find it difficult to be using the SMS function.

I'll give myself another week with the phone and if it really still don't work, I might consider giving up on this project and recycle the phone instead.
Just feel the need to release the frustration...signing off now!!

the real competition in the mobile world

We have heard a lot about the iphone for the past few years. Of course, it is a normal scenario given the fact that Apple products have always manage to give us surprises and the WOW! factor.
But then just as the Apple Iphone seems to be without any competitor, we have the Droid phone coming out....Google of course is at the right track.
This then leave Microsoft helpless with their old, dull and boring Windows mobile 6.5. I mean...what the heck!! the upgrade was nothing much and people hate it.
It was then that the announcement of the Windows Phone 7 being made at the WMC, World Mobile Congress. Just as Windows 7 was a hit, the WP7 seems to be on the right track as well. The WOW! factor is back....and people are starting to talk about Microsoft getting serious in the smartphone industry.
Then it was not long after that we heard about Iphone 4G and people are starting to be amazed again...although I don't see too much a difference. (forget me for being bias here) and let us not forget about iPad...the name might be quite sissy but the sales that just hit 1 million is telling us a different story.
Well, the real competition in the mobile is beginning. We are seeing a lot of major changes.
The money that you pay for your smartphone will be worthy of its' values.
For those of you who think that 2010 is awesome with all these announcements, I can tell you, 2011 brings you even more excitement.
