The HTC TyTN II has been announced for Europe, on pretty much every European carrier. You may know it as the Kaiser or the Tilt, but from now on you should just think of it as the Awesome. I was already impresssed with:
- 3G
- WiFi
- GPS
- 3 megapixel camera
- innovative tilting design.
...Now a glimpse at what they're including software-wise seals the deal: like the title says, the HTC TyTN II looks to be the most powerful Windows Mobile Device ever put into production. Check this out (emphasis mine):
HTC HomeTM, HTC's new homescreen, offers easy access to photo dialing, text messages, calendar entries, emails and contacts, as well as one touch access to live weather conditions plus four-day forecasts. [...] In addition, HTC has included further applications such as a business card scanner and TomTom Navigator 6 (Taster edition) to complement the in-built GPS.

Sadly, I don't have high hopes that the evil empire of AT&T will be as generous, but nevermind that. When the Tilt reaches these shores on September 3rd it will be the de facto king of the hill.
Just because the Tytn II is powerful and has a lot of features doesn't make it a great "phone". I have come to dislike side sliders from my experience with my KJAM. For myself, a Blackjack-sized WM6 (pro) phone with 400mhz, 3G, Wifi, and some contact-search ala WM Treo and you got me.
