    Ooh, I like the look of the Zinc II.
    Be interested to know how you think it compares to the TyTn II.
    Faster CPU I believe, but doesn't have the tilt, which I imagine I can live without.

    I have the XDA Mini S currently, the TyTn wasn't really an upgrade, been thinking about the TyTn too for a while as it has double the Mhz of my current phone and the built in GPS. But the £400+ price tag was putting me off. The Zinc pre-order price is under £400.

    What's it missing?
    It certainly looks more elegent that the TyTn II

    Does it have the (very useful) 3G/GPRS auto-config when you put a different SIM card in - the TyTN II does but not sure if that is a WM6 standard feature or something HTC added?
