HTC has just announced a European release for the TyTN II smartphone model. It was just about time for them to move on to the next handset model, with even more evolved functions. The device will be sold across European countries under this name or with some in-house rebranding to happen.

HTC TyTN became a great success when the company launched it. The market now needs even more evolved solutions, which asked for a sequel of that device, one capable of competing with all the other high-end devices out there. What the second version of the device has to additionally bring is high speed HSDPA connectivity, built-in GPS and an innovative adjustable screen angle.

HTC TyTN II has a 2.8 inch touchscreen capable of tilting in order to provide just the perfect angle for the user to view images and videos. The feature might prove to be highly useful especially when using the phone for a long period of time to work. It looks just like a miniatural laptop, along with its full QWERTY keyboard that will make it extremely easy to handle even the longest text files at a top quality when it comes to smartphones.

The handset brings tri-band UMTS, quad-band EDGE and also provides HSDPA connectivity. This means that it is capable of reaching data transfer speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps, one of the top performances when it comes to mobile phones, although some 7.2 Mbps devices have already appeared.

The device uses TouchFLO interface, as the producer has promised to use it in all its future devices after HTC Touch received great appreciation because of it. Moreover, HomeTM, HTC's new homescreen offers easy access to photo dialing, text messages, calendar entries, e-mails and contacts. Also add a 3 megapixel camera to this device and you will have it equipped with all highest solutions for mobile communication needs.

HTC TyTN II will be from now on available in Europe from some selected carriers. Orange will be the first operator to bring the device in UK, France, Switzerland and Netherlands, followed by Spain, Poland, Romania and Slovakia in early October.
