Despite the TyTN 2's pros as a Windows Mobile 6 touchscreen phone I simply won't stand for the smaller screen with low resolution and mediocre camera quality. I have been too spoiled with the TV-quality video and amazing camera to be able to step down to the HTC at this time...holy crap I am now coming off like some Symbian snob! :) What can I say, I just love tech-toys that are worthy of attention.
The E90 doesn't have the same kind of efficiency from a touchscreen or native word-completion that makes the TyTN 2 so easy to work with , but it is more balanced as a convergence device that can provide reliable usage of both multimedia and PDA/PIM applications. While the TyTN 2 is a great PDA the E90 feels more like a great communicator an impressive grouping of adequate features. The Nokia features of the PDA/PIM side may not be worth writing home about but they still get the job done in a reliable fashion. However, the Nokia multimedia features completely blow the HTC out of the water and I cannot ignore that fact.
There is also a certain kind of mystique in owning a device that is hardly popular in the US and I do like the attention the E90 draws whenever I pull it out for usage. Everybody and their grandma has got either an iPhone or a BlackBerry or a Windows Mobile touchscreen phone, but there are only a few (in the US anyway) that have the E90 Communicator. It may not have a xenon flash like the Nokia N82 or have a touchscreen like the Nokia N810 but it simply works for me in my everyday use. In the midst of all this back-and-forth action the Nokia N95 is the real victim as it is hardly acknowledged anymore while resting in my backpack for so long, but oh well.
At this point I will not go back to the TyTN 2 as a back-up device unless my E90 ends up forever lost, stolen or looking like these pictures:
