Quick Question..

Now this is what I'm wondering.
How come in eBay you search for the HTC TyTN II and its roughly $800.
But if you search AT&T 8925 Tilt its roughly $500.
Now in my case i'm with T-Mobile and of course interested in this phone. Would their be any advantages with either Phone I choose?
This would help out alot, thanks!

The TyTN II, has the front facing camera, and is unlocked to any service provider. The Tilt has no front facing camera, has a ton of AT&T bloatware, does not come with the TomTom Navigator taster software, and has a silver keypad on the keyboard.
Otherwise, same phone. You can always pick up the Tilt, and flash the HTC TyTN II ROM on it. So aside from the front camera, and the keyboard color, you'll have a TyTN II equivalent, and some money in your pocket.

Should I get the TYTN II now?

I've been waiting for a long time for the price of the tytn 2 to fall within my budget. Is this a good time to get the tytn 2?
I know the diamond is way better and the touch pro will be out soon but i love the tytn 2/ touch pro form factor, and am not a big fan of the diamond.
and i know the touch pro will be way too expensive for a year at least.
any advice will be appreciated. Please keep in mind that this will be my first WM device.

Just reread your post. Looks like you already know what you want.

Get the Refurb Tilt from AT&T, it's only $149. I finally made the decision to go for it once I saw the price and considered the fact that my 8525 is starting to get unreliable.

I went through pretty much the same thought process as you; TyTN II is relatively old, newer HTC phones coming up...I got my TyTN II about two weeks ago and I don't regret it at all. It seems like it's going to take a while for the Touch Pro to get here, and it's going to be insanely expensive - probably at least twice as much as the current price of the TyTN II.
If the TyTN II offers the features you want, I don't see a reason not to get it. With a custom ROM and some other tweaks it runs beautifully; I don't anticipate ever buying a phone to replace this one unless it completely dies on me.

Should I trade my Kaiser for a Diamond?

Hey, guys!
A friend of mine bought the Diamond before ~2 Months and it was his first pocket pc. He's from a rich family and doesn't understand a lot from pocket pc's, so he offered me to trade my Kaiser for his Diamond.
My Kaiser is almost 1 Year old and has scratches, but this is no problem for him. He said he's either going to give the Kaiser his sister or he's going to sell it to a mate of him, who is searching for a Kaiser to buy.
So... now about me i'm 17 years old and I think the Kaiser is too "business" for me, if I take the Diamond I'm going to miss the QWERTY, but actually it won't be a big problem, because I use the QWERTY only for typing SMSes and surfing, not much other...
What do you think? Should I trade it?

I wouldnt be too sure about trading it.
I recently went from a S710 (qwerty) -> Touch Cruise (none qwerty) -> TyTN II (qwerty) and ive found that, in truth, going fro a qwerty handst to a full touchscreen is horrible.
Admittently the upgrade to a VGA screen wouldnt be a nice perk but id stick with youre TyTN II.

Exactly my reason of not wanting the diamond or the iphone! a slide out keyboard is WAAAY to convenient since i email from my phone for work all day long!

qwerty keyboard ftw! tho idk...the htc touch HD....for me its between that and the touch pro...or mayb the new samsung phone :S
edit: U should trade for the diamond, sell it and get the touch pro

Confused - TyTN version

After months I decided again to go with a Windows Mobile based PDA as a primary phone. The N95 just did not do the job, so, I thought the TyTN II still might be the best choice for me. The old Hermes was the last PDA I owned.
I bought mine directly from NewEgg here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875502007
Surprisingly, I already had seen on the pictures that the item does not have a front camera for video phones. Well, this service is not yet supported in the US, so, it just was not important to me.
Now, after I received the item today, another strange thing:
The keyboard does not look like on the real TyTN II but it matches the keyboard of the AT&T Tilt.
The box and all accessoirs match the HTC version rather than the AT&T Tilt version. IMEI and Serial# of the device match the label on the box. It further says on the box HTC TyTN II P4551. ROM version is WM 6.1.
So, my question:
What version do I really have? What do I have to care about in case I want to flash it? Would I have to go with AT&T flashing guides rather than with guides for the Kaiser?
Just trying to sort out the differences - sorry in case this has been asked already before.

Enter your bootloader and read the top line "KAISXXX" (where XXX is 100,110,120 or 130), then look under "Specs of some Kaiser variants" on the HTC Kaiser wiki page.

Well,
I guess this is the AT&T variant then. It says clearly KAIS100 and the keyboard is definitely from an AT&T Tilt (blue FN key and silver number block).
I just wonder why HTC would change the front plate (AT&T Logo) back to HTC, then flashes it wit the generic HTC software and packs everything nicely in a HTC box?

see if you can register it at the htc e-club because the At&t branded device's can't.

Yeah,
I was thinking of that but I am planing to return / exchange for the MWg Zinc II. The lack of video drivers for the TyTN II is quite annoying already by just surfing the web! I am not sure if a downgrade to WM 6.0 would fix that?
However,
attached 2 pictures of my TyTN II Hybrid. Sorry for the bad quality but it is still clear enough. Strangely, even the box shows this device with the AT&T Keypad! It almost looks to me as if HTC had an over-production of AT&T Tilts and now they throw the left-overs on the market as P4551 (which really seems to be the AT&T with HTC Logo and box).

I just now checked and found that you can register for At&t tilt also in HTC club.

The tytyn has a slower processor and uses an inferior gps chipset.
It does have a little more memory but to date I have not had a prob with my 256/64 config. For some reason the data on my zinc is innacurate (pdadb). It says the zinc has a 2.5 mm audio jack (proprietary it is).
Video is easy with core player 1.2.5 b 4506.

I want to buy a brand new TYNT II
