TyTN II still lives on

I am still with my amazing TyTN II device and gaining the most efficiency in my day to day activities. From the accurate scheduling of the calendar to the precise execution of the email client and word processor this has evolved into a multifunctional mobile computer. However, last night I did begin to have self-doubt in the multimedia features of this HTC device.

I discovered a new app called vtap and I find it to be the remedy to YouTube's absence from mobile devices. When I compared both the HTC TyTN II and Nokia N95 video playback I was of course blown away by the amazing quality of the Nokia. Instantly I began to feel an impulse to go online and purchase the Nokia E90 to be reunited with its multimedia features once again, but the reality of my financial situation and absent credit cards abruptly slapped me in the face. At this point there is simply no way possible that I would be able to afford a new and unlocked device no matter how extensive the feature listings are. I guess this is good for me to be caught without a quick solution to purchase anything else on credit, for it will ultimately test my endurance in trying to be thankful for everything that I already have. It isn't always important to have the most advanced gadget that can do any and everything and I am for sure learning this.

There was yet another occurrence that demonstrated my love/hate relationship with this TyTN II. Upon visiting a best friend who had a newborn puppy to show off I saw an opportunity to get pictures and videos with my phone camera. Immediately my mind was reminded of the horrible camera quality of the HTC and I then chose to get my N95 from my backpack. With the new firmware update the N95 performed extremely well as a camera and recorded video flawlessly. Even though this was an ideal situation of having the multi-tasking TyTN II being accompanied by a fully-capable Nseries device, my mind began to yearn for the E90 and its well-roundedness as a business/multimedia smartphone. However, while drivng back home I ended up feeling indebted to the fast and functional GPS of my TyTN II when I got lost on a dark, winding road.

It was at that moment I found a new appreciation for my HTC device, for it truly is the most advanced gadget that I am privileged to have. It may not have all of the features of the advanced Nokia devices, but it is so much more useful in its partnership with my laptop as a 3G capable bluetooth modem. Despite its multimedia prowess, the Nokia E90 could never do that when I owned it and at the time I have to admit that I did feel cheated out of all the money that I had spent on it.

It is going to be a long road to get my debt paid off, and I am happy to have made the wisest decision in choosing the TyTN II as my main device.
