One issue to me is one-handed use, which would seem awkward at best with the TyTN.

So is this the only one so far? I'm actually a little surprised that Cingular isn't advertising this as much. I'm also not seeing that introductory price of $20/month for unlimited phone-based data access. Should've taken that offer up. Sweet deal.

Fantastic!
just wanted to be on the list of TyTN Lovers - got mine on Tuesday and think it is truly the best I ever had!
Sitting in Toronto now and not having a UMTS network isn't exactly nice though
Anybody know if you can use mobile-skype with the videocam on it? (While connected to a WLAN of course)
