Default to buy or not to buy? after all the threads of complaints

I have just bricked my hermes 30 mins ago tsk the day i finally fixed it (upper right hand screen tap) (bought it cheap black market brand new failed to check forum first). After it was stable for hours, while connected i upgrade to radio 1.43 and after it installed, it was still plugged and poof. screen faded and no more. not even a red light. (is there a solution?) totally ddead.

anyway I was thinking of buying a tytn II for replacement. should i buy? after all the raves and complaints im not so sure. im buying this because of u guys even if im new. i saw how u guys fixed up the hermes and i loved it even when it was bugging.

Usage summary :
I will abuse it. use it and charge it if battery dies while using it.
I will play games and test its capabilities to all its extent.
Application crazy and of course calls.

I have read of the rlod, battery life sucks, heats up too fast, unproper video drivers, software not working. So should i buy? thanks. im buying 2 coz im going to give it as a gift. but before i throw cash, please since u all have it and a lot of u guys are power users, should i buy it or go for a glofiish or hp ipaq 614 instead?


thanks.

Buying stuff from the black market, and the way you talk? Nope - you should get the IPAQ or the Glitter or something - you are WAY too cool for the Tilt.

Exclamation It's all up to you...........

TyTN II / Tilt is up to you. From everything you have read in this forum, should be enough for you to make that decision. I can't tell you what you like and dislike. Anyway, Good luck......

I understand but it might be that nobody would post in the forum for raves of the tytn II and the most replied topics would be problem solving. Since a lot of you are actual users, i just want to know if you guys are happy with yours and if you could use it continuously for a long time.

Dont mean no disrespect. im new to this but i will abuse the phone. im just wondering if it could take the same abuse as the hermes did or will this phone heat up too much.

So guys, any raves about the tytn II? is it stable enough to use 3-4 hours straight? maybe reading an ebook or playing a game?

It's stable enough for me to last a whole week without restarting. The only reason I restart weekly is because I perform regular backups.

i should change this title to raves on the tytn II

haha im actually asking for reviews not the decision. because as much bad as it has i bet it has a lot of good. as long as all the major functionality is there id give it as a gift if not nokia n95 for her tytn for me coz i dont mind customizing and doing the work it's just going to be hell if she calls me just to ask phone problems.

yes this freaking phone is a pua tool. cant wait for that reason it's an auto attention getter which makes her invest more time on u and therefore.... (move to next location or simply entertain). in any case chill back guys, hold drinks down not by the chest.
