</blockquote><div><br>I have an older HTC phone (AT&T 8525), which is either the Hermes or the TyTN (not the TyTN II). It has a slide out keyboard which is very handy for SMS text messages. I never got used to typing text on regular phone keypads. This was an unlocked phone from eBay, so works with Rogers as well as overseas with GSM.<br>
<br>This phone does not work with Android. The TyTN II does work though.<br><br>It runs Windows Mobile (everyone has a dirty proprietary software secret and this is mine, having weaned myself on the desktop and server in favor of Linux). Windows Mobile is very bad from a user interface aspect. It is still desktop and mouse centric. It is also impossible or very hard to change certain obvious settings (e.g. beep every few minutes when you have a missed call pending), perhaps burined in some obscure place, but I could not find it. The phone has a pouch which hides its indicator LED and without that I miss incoming missed calls or texts. Very stupid, and very frustrating.<br>
</div></div><br>This is why I am on the lookout for what is out there. I will pass on the iPhone and the Blackberries. Wish to go with a Linux unit this time, and the Nokia N900 seems like a very good choice.<br>-- <br>Khalid M. Baheyeldin<br>
