What a phone !

Glad that I have not bought TyTn yet :) I will wait this phone for sure !

Amazing resolution at last !

[festermania]

for me the true killer of the TyTn is the HTC and the scarce quality that it uses for producing his ppcs...
HTC=scarce quality High costs

[MikeChannon]

Too many unknowns about that one at the moment.
Could be a good one, the design looks a bit of a dogs breakfast though.
Size?

If it's Quad band and supports US 3G then it's a TyTn killer otherwise for us in the USA it won't be :(

[Applestar]

As far as I know it will not run with WM5 nor WM6. Screenshots suggest a total different OS. Go with it - but it will not replace my TyTN ;)

[teambnet]

It's not quad band and the GUI is flash.

Cool phone but lousy plaform and no north-american love.

The WM6 version of the LG Prada will end up more useful even if it is just EDGE.

[gogol]

It is running WM6 !

Check this side-by-side with TyTn:

... The behemoth features, as we mentioned an utterly unreal 3-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display, rear biometric scanner, 2 megapixel rear camera, front-facing video conferencing camera, 64MB of internal memory, miniSD expansion, tri-band HSDPA (yes!), 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, USB, video calling, and USB On-The-Go. The E01 is far more lower end, but still manages HSDPA, a 65k color display, A2DP Bluetooth, and that same 2 megapixel camera. ...

Doesnt matter what it has I think its to big.

[klasikahl]

I would buy this phone for the biometric scanner alone.

Agreed! The phone dialer dosent seem to fit the display.

No way is this a TyTN killer, the only way to kill off the hermes is for the major networks to start using this, but they have it WAAAAAAY to easy with HTC at the moment. I can see it doing well but it has alot of catching up to do (especially with the major developments we have made on here with WM6, SSPL and HardSPL etc....)

[Izzard-UK]

The thing that puts me off that is the big border around the screen! I really think the TyTN looks smarter (I'm going entirely on looks here).

My Orange SPV M3100 (which is a HERM100 with silver/black colour scheme) is still the sexiest-looking phone I've ever seen.

You lucky bastard, I got the horrible T-Mobile Vario II - Never seen a phone being branded so ugly... :)

:) :) I thought the best way to kill a Hermes is give it to a noob to flash.... (me included once:( )

naaaahhh...
The Glofiish X800 is the tytn killer and a Toshiba G900 killer...

IMO, the Glofiish M900 is the true Tytn killer because it will have everything the X800 has plus a keyboard.

How can you be a TYTN killer and not have a 5 way D-Pad? The only thing you can improve on the TYTN is put iTunes on it, maybe make it slimmer, and if it can do my taxes, hahahah.

But really, with this XDA community, I am sure we will have the latest and greatest for while to come. You can increase magapixels all you want, but this is still a slick device. :D
