As much as I had hoped for a happy ending with the TyTN 2 returning after its WM6.1 ROM update, it didn't take long before it ended up in the computer backpack once again for good. The compact Treo 750 looked better as the day went on and the HTC became slower in its performance. I had also forgotten about the battery life and how pitiful it was whenever I had automatic email downloads enabled.
My primary pet-peeves were the extra steps of having to do certain functions. sliding open the screen to gain access to the qwerty and tapping the screen to silence the phone just didn't prove to be quick enough. Using the camera for a simple snapshot was a very lacking experience, not to mention too long. I had been spoiled by the qwerty bar form factor of my Treo 750 and missed it terribly as I would fiddle with the TyTN 2. With the slider opened in full form I suddenly felt as if I was holding a brick, and the sluggish spells of the OS soon turned me off. Finally having threaded SMS on WM6.1 was a welcomed addition, but the absence of the graphical emoticons was slightly annoying.
It could have been something to do with only my individual device, but either way I had a feeling that the Treo was coming back.
I may now have the Treo once again, but even this isn't due to last for long..but for very good reason!
Nokia WomWorld had sent me an email yesterday morning asking me to review the new Nokia E71 qwerty phone!!! I should have this shipped to my home by the end of this week and I will be sure to post more information at that time.

Great Trent!
I'm really looking forward to your E71 review before I make a final decision. Take care.
