HTC Titan II = Win
13 years ago
I have always been "meh" about Apple products. Not that they are bad, just excessively hyped. My wife loves her iPhone 4s, but I have found it a bit clunky looking and sought for myself something else to replace my well-aged Palm Pre Plus with its useable but now abandoned OS. Started trying out a bunch of Android phones in the ATT store and several looked great, but then I started considering the downside of being hooked into the Google Big Brother watch-everything-you-do business plan and wanted to see if there was another option.
Enter Windows 7.5. After trying several phones, narrowed it down to this one with the Lumia a distant second. The Titan II has a larger screen than iPhone (or almost any other phone with the exception of the Galaxy Note) but weighs about the same and is sleeker. I know the specs on the iPhone screen are supposed to be better, but I think the Titan II screen is stunning, and I cannot tell the difference. Youtube and Netflix look awesome.
Web surfing is a breeze and is generally pretty fast. It is great to be able to have more than one page open at a time in my tabs. Fewer apps than Google or Apple? Yes, but I already have more apps than I am likely to use. Am still getting used to some of the details of the Zune interface with my laptop but have no complaints. It seems pretty intuitive so far. Absolutely no problems with using it on the phone. Camera takes pretty good pictures, really excellent ones in high light settings. I have the camera in a Casemate case which creates some extra resistance to pressing the shutter button - this means I have to concentrate on holding the camera very still or there is blur from the movement of the camera itself. I think this is more a function of the case than the camera. One of my favorite features of the camera is the panorama setting. I have taken some really stunning shots in that mode.
Voice quality is fine both sending and receiving. I have watched my wife use Siri and enjoyed the novelty for about 5 minutes. Without having tried the equivalent software on this phone much, my guess is the voice command mode may not be quite as sophisticated as Siri. However, the voice recognition software that allows me to hear and respond to text messages while driving using the Bluetooth in my car blows me away. Using the voice recognition software to look things up is something I am unlikely to need, but texting and emailing while driving is a certainty.
I really like the lines of this phone. The specs say it is not actually thinner front to back at the thickest point than the iPhone, but the edges are clearly more rounded, making it feel slimmer in your pocket. When I see friends with iPhones in their pockets, it looks like they are carrying a brick. Of special usefulness is that the bottom of the screen has a sort of curl to it. This has two advantages. The first is that it makes the phone a little less likely to drop out of your hand - that curl catches your thumb as you hold it for reading text or glancing at the tiles. You'll probably have to hold it yourself to get the feel for what I am talking about. The second is that when you put it on a table, that lip holds the screen off the surface making it less likely to scratch. If you pick one up in the store, look at it in profile to see what I am describing.
Some have suggested that because of its size, it might be better for large handed people. I have really small hands for a guy and have not a whit of difficulty. The size is a definite plus for text reading or game play. It is an absolute bonus for texting in either landscape or portrait orientation (The text recognition software is superb to make typing even easier still). One of the reasons why I rejected some other phones was that not all of them will go to landscape for web browsing. The Titan II adjusts to orientation between portrait and landscape and back very quickly.
For my uses, battery life seems more than adequate. I am too busy most of the day at work interacting with people directly to spend hours surfing or playing games, the real battery users. I also do not need to have info "pushed" to me. If I want to know the weather forecast, for example, I will hit that app on the tile screen. There is more than enough juice at the end of the day after emailing, texting, and talking to get in a couple of rounds of Fruit Ninja and read a pile of news articles and listen to a couple of hours of podcasts before a recharge is necessary. If you are on the go and need to have information about the stock market, news, or weather pushed to you constantly, so that your 4G data stream is running all the time, you might have a different experience.
I think my main concern before buying was not having the ability to add memory with a card. So far I have taken a bunch of pictures, have a load of emails, apps, podcasts and music and seem to have huge amount of memory left. Eventually, will have to make use of the SkyDrive cloud, but I feel pretty certain that is a good ways off.
Any phone is going to present some type of compromise. This is a really nicely crafted, well thought-out device stylistically and electronically. It uses a sophisticated OS that demonstrates practical use and is attractive while doing it. For my needs, the Titan II is the best of all the devices I have tried in the stores. My experience with it in the real world has actually been more rewarding than I expected.

I have had this phone for less than 3 months and i already have to send my second one back. At first i loved the phone all the features with it the games yet i would like a few more updates and places where we can add things to apps. The first one i had the speaker go out on my and this one the battery wont even last half a day before it goes dead and wont restart. When i tried to recharge the phone it erased everything on the phone and it was annoying me so after i send this one back i hope i dont get any more trouble with this phone

Outstanding phone
13 years ago
This is such a great phone, I went from iPhone to the HTC Titan 2 and could not be happier. The 4.7 inch screen is a plus, with the iPhone I was finding that texting was an issue with the measly 3.5 inch screen and I was making tons of auto correct errors. The phone itself is well built and takes wonderful pictures with its 16 MP camera.
Prostools, menus, camera/video quality, Wi-Fi capable, durable, ease of use, good for texting
