Tytn II vs p4350

[Christalic]

Hello I'm planning to buy one of these devices and but since I will use the multimedia functions a lot, I'm in real doubt. As seen in youtube videos and reading here, the tytn II has some problems with multimedia. But it has a 400Mhz processor. The tytn II is also a lot more expensive. Is the p4350 better in multimedia (viewing video's, playing games etc) than the tytn II or is the tytn II with the driver issue still better?

Great forum btw!

I've got both devices and I wouldn't call either a multimedia device (unless the videos are encoded for the Pocket PC), but reason the Tytn II is more epensive is due, to it's faster (but not by a great deal). But both struggle to play YouTube on it's higher quality videos using core player 1.2.1, but I would say the p4350 is not watchable at all on high settings.

In regards to the Tytn II, this may change when HTC release their magic fix, but I dont think things will change all that much, as HTC are not going to put a large speed injection into an old unit when they want people to buy new devices with all the trimmings and expense.
