Nokia 6620

[Roselle Ambubuyog]

It runs on Windows Mobile 5.0, and is a WM Smartphone (i.e., no touch
screen), with a numeric keypad. It used to be sold also as the T-Mobile SDA
in the USA. This is compatible with Mobile Speak Smartphone. On the other
hand, the HTC TyTN that Simon mentioned, if it is the GSM version, is
available in the US as the AT&T 8525, and is a pocket PC phone (i.e., has a
touch-activated screen). This runs on WM5, but has a WM6 upgrade available.
IF it's the CDMA counterpart of that device which some websites also call
the HTC TyTN, then it's known as the PPC-6800 from Sprint or Qwest, XV6800
from Verizon, or HTC 6800 from Alltel, all powered by WM6. However, there
are some differences between the GSM HTC TyTN and its CDMA equivalent: e.g.,
processor type, amount of built-in ROM, direction towards which the built-in
QWERTY keyboard slides out, etc. They are mostly similar, however, when it
comes to key layout and form factor. This device (GSM or CDMA version) is
supported by Mobile Speak Pocket.
