Newbie questions about TyTN

---

Hi people, had my TyTN for over 2 weeks now (HTC Branded tytn....HT628 serial number)

Just have a few questions:

1. Are upgrades easily done on the TyTN

2. What are these 'ROMs' i keep hearing about??

3. What KILLER apps do people use on it??

(excuse my newbie-ness)

Thanks.

You cant be serious...or you simply just have more money than brains.

1. Yes, but be prepared to re-install all of your apps.
2. Roms are basically the core operating system for the TyTn's, Roms and upgrade go hand in hand(ie, to upgrade your tytn you put a new rom on it)
3. Check out SBSH software and SPB software, both companies make alot of software alot of people use, there is also an abundant amount of freeware out there.

I'm sorry has my asking questions on a forum offended you in some way?? why bother replying if uve got nothing constructive to say.

Umm, I just got my first cell phone, a LG C2000 about 3 months ago, and have yet to get a TyTN, all I know is before I spend $750 on a device, I read reviews and such, and the first review I read something about ROM's, and well I didnt know about ROM's, but a very easy search on google led me to the answer, and what do you know...during my research, I came across many forums with "must have" software for the TyTN, I'm not out to flame people..but when someone apparently has not even helped themselves at all, I just cant always keep my mouth shut.

It's like this dude bought a TyTN cause it looked cool, showed it off to his friends for a few weeks, and now wants to know how to use it.

In the words of that great scholar, Bill Murray: Lighten up, Francis! This is a board to help others, not to stomp on them...

sorry

I read PLENTY of reviews....even saw the mobilitytoday.com podcast about it...it was such reviews that drew my attention to it in the first place. I was going for the P990i. Dont tar people with the newbie brush when all they ask is a simple set of questions! Im sure there are only a minority (when compared to the size of the userbase) of people who actually know anything about ROMs and upgrading. How many O2 customers have an XDA and arent aware of what ROMs do/are....MANY im sure.

Im just sorry my first post became the bait of a flameboy..........rant over
