Cingular 8525 (HTC TyTN) WM 5.0 PocketPC Phone review

The-gadgeteer has posted a detailed review review of the HTC TyTN. Interestingly, this review is approached by two different perspectives:

1. From the type of person that wants a great PDA that happens to also have a good phone built into it? (Julie)
2. From the type of person who rather has a great phone that just happens to also function as a good PDA? (Rob)

The 2 perspectives will be expressed on the same article. Julie’s comments are in BLACK, Rob’s are in italicized BLUE.
