HTC Titan User Reviews

Having this phone for about a month, I've had little problems, the only problem is the screen going black during a call, which I don't mind, because I don't call often. The screen is amazing, the big display makes everything easy to read and navigate the phone easy. The build quality is fantastic, the uni-body is really nice. In the hand is does slip, but a cover is no problem. Reception on the phone is great, in Australia it beats Telstra. Call quality is decent and does the job smoothly. Internet 9 is super quick and browsing on the huge 4.7" is no problem. Using this as a business phone I find really does the job really good. Syncing all your emails and calendars was super easy, and with Office it just makes the phone even better. I have also the HTC 7 Trophy and that phone was quick, but the Titan is even quicker, it loads and opens apps so fast. Taking snaps with the camera is a really good experience, it takes stunning pictures, and the front facing camera isn't all that bad. Using the phone day-to-day I had no problems, the battery life would just make a day with heavy usage.
Overall the HTC Titan is an amazing Windows Phone and would easily recommend it to people.

I bought this phone brand new off eBay when I sold my HTC Radar(also a nice phone). I love this phone so much. T-Mobile really missed out by not offering this phone to its customers. This phone has everything you want in a phone with a beautiful 4.7" screen. It doesn't sport the highest pixel density but all that goes out the window when you rent movies like 300 and The Dark Knight from the HTC Watch for only 49 cents! The HTC Watch is also a very nice addition to HTC phones that differentiate their products from the Nokia and Samsung Windows Phone offerings. I have no problem with the 12gb of storage that come with the phone. I have enough space for my music, movies, and podcasts. Everything looks better on the 4.7" screen. Perfect for web browsing, Bing maps, and the People hub. The 8mp camera is nice as well and being a video chat fan myself, Skype is perfect for a big screen. Call quality is right on the money and the speakerphone has strong and clear output. The HTC Titan is a sexy, sleek, and durable device you'll be proud to show off to your friends.
*Please note for T-Mobile customers, you will only get Edge network and will not be able to use the Internet sharing option. Video skips while loading(think this is an isolated issue) even though Wi-Fi speeds are incredible. Had some issues getting Connection Setup to get MMS configuration correct but eventually worked.

Really do love this phone. Since June of 2011 I have had 3 windows phone 7 handsets. The LG Optimus 7 got run over by a car, and the Smasung Omnia 7 got submerged in water :/ Both devices I really enjoyed. However I wanted to raise the steaks a little of my next handset. As I don't buy phones on contract finding one proved hard. I came across the HD7 and fell in love with it. The soon realised that it was predeceased by the Titan, so i got the Titan. Everything is listed below. Overall best phone I have ever owned and I can name at least 25 in the last 4 years or so. One thing that isn't mentioned below is music. Other than the brilliant Zune experience the SRS enhancement is the best it is on any phone out there. With HTC Flat cable earphones the sound is deep, powerful and bassy, very clear with good midtones. Loud as well to drive larger headphones and speakers.

So far really good, everything working fine, its fast, battery life is only getting better by the day, no real problems in the operations. Build quality got 9 cause the metal part is slippery as hell and makes me shiver from the feeling of touching it. Internet can be a little bit slow sometimes, camera really good compared to HD7, display is awesome but still no AMOLED.

Awesome phone. Though wish we had Focus S in Ireland. Would definetly opt in for that over the Titan

when the phone works right its great but lately it has been rebooting by itself also when im typing my keyboard keeps dissapearing...............also dont like it inturrupting me while on bluetooth and im playing a song.

awesome phone. awesome playform. has built-in facebook, twitter, windows live, and LinkedIn integration. Awesome camera with, once again, built in - panorama mode, auto-fix, face detection, effects, filters, facebook and other social uploads with BUILT-IN facebook tagging and geo-tagging. It's not app-centric. it's just built in. People will ask you about it's the smartphone best kept secret!

Nothing to say, Just HTC TITAN.
Really excellent phone ever from HTC.
Its already beat all other phones and also other WP7 phones.
Design: Large screen and very good.
UI: very speed.
Internet: IE9 very fast and as on desktop version.

The screen sits at 4.7", and is a very good experience. The live tiles of the UI are a joy to use on this screen, although it seems the stand out better against a white background than the black. One of the huge advantages of WP is the smooth experience, and the Titan is fine. But it is not the best performer in this regard- I have found the Samsung Focus S a little better on the responses. The portrait keyboard is very roomy. A lot of screens only work in portrait mode. The landscape keyboard is a joy to use.
Solid aluminum build, fantastic eye catching design, good heavy feel without being too cumbersome, and yes it will fit in most pockets comfortably. The only gripe, and I am splitting hairs, is the strange button layout. Why is the power button all the way at the top of such a large device? Why put both the camera button and volume rocker on the same side and leave the left side empty when both could have been centered in more natural positions? Any owner would get used to this in a matter of days, so it is not much of a concern. The Camera may be among the best on the market right now. Amazing reproductions both outdoors and indoors, wonderful macro (close in) details, wonderful extras like burst mode which takes several shots with one push, an amazing panoramic setting which is a breeze to use, wonderful edit options for a mobile phone and a dual flash. HTC really has stepped up the game here.
Multimedia loads really well, but remember WP does not support flash. So be sure to pay attention to what sites you use. There are a couple of really nice Android options if you have to have a Flash player. (The industry is moving away from Flash, though.) Sound reproduction for videos and the Zune music player are good. But, there is only about 13 GB of actual usable storage even if it is listed at 16 GB.
Battery life is hard to predict. Some days are good, but some days it just seems to drop like a rock. Extra chargers are a must.

EDIT: We are now on our third device:

Unit one: had a call "echo" so bad for those who called it got so no one would call. Than, the screen froze, and the original went away.

Unit two: Screen froze, and web sites would stop loading and kick back to home screen. Reception was bad.

Unit 3: Reception and call quality is still worse than the first unit. Will hope screen and web experience hold up.

WP is a joy to use, but go try the Nokia 900, Samsung Focus S, Samsung Focus 2, or even the Titan 2. But I can't say buy this now.

In a world today where Iphone's and Droids rule the market its great to have another option. People who don't give this phone a chance are crazy. The large screen makes typing a breeze and watching video's amazing. The processor powers through any obstacle with no lag or delay and games are flawless. Windows Office on this phone is also great because now you have a screen big enough to do it justice. Now i know most people are immediately thinking its probably too big... I have had many devices and this is one of the lightest ive ever owned. The phone is also not intrusive when you have it in your pocket. Overall I am very impressed with windows and it will be very hard to go back to IOS or Droid with the simplicity i have learned to appreciate with windows.

I have the Titan.... it's a top flight product... wp7 works fantastic, syncs calendars email contacts etc perfectly etc. so I'm sold on the OS... this review is thus re: hardware

pro:
-very good performance, never lags ever, smooth zoom and pan in every app
-stable, I've been a windows phone guy since day one and I've never had a hang or app crash... the OS works perfect no matter what you are doing...
- build quality is like a museum piece.... very solid, perfect feeling product
- huge screen... 4.7 inch is awesome, much better view-ability for web pages and video is incredible... like a tablet
- battery life is great... more than a day with heavy wifi and bluetooth use
- size... for a 4.7 screen, it is surprisingly thin and only about 1/4 inch bigger than other smartphones... very pocketable
- screen brightness is very high... when compared to focus s side by side with both screens on max, the Titan is FAR brighter and more vibrant, no contest best screen I've ever seen
- crazy loud speakerphone... I like having the volume if necessary... . great feature

con:
- none, really, none

Myths:
- the screen resolution is too low at this large size... this is not true... the 199dpi is still very high, and I find it very sharp and usable.. I think that browser optimization is needed for high zoom on pages with this resolution, but pixel density is still high, so it's not a hardware thing.... there are other browsers available and more win phone updates coming, so I'm not worried, even though I don't notice an issue with this anyway. Everyone jumps on this issue, but on smartphone screens this DPI is plenty as long as the app is smoothing things. To put his in correct perspective... a 30 inch Apple Cinema display which you would view at about 30% more distance has HALF the DPI at 100... this is very much an application issue not a hardware or OS thing. The whiners should stop.

- single core limits the product.... the Titan performs faster than any smartphone I've used... the only limitation of this is no 1080 recording, only 720 max... I don't like 1080 file sizes for video anyway, so no big deal to me. Also, dual core burns power and develops more heat, two things I don't want in my phone unless I need the horses, which on wp7 I don't.

Questions:
- the Titan does not use gorilla glass... HTC says they are using a competitive anti scratch glass on it, but doesn't identify the product... only time will tell on this point, but most people keep it in a pocket with nothing else so even a slightly not up to gorilla glass solution will probably work great for most users.. for me this is a non issue.

the best phone I've ever used including iPhones and various Androids... everyone you meet will have screen envy .... iPhone fan boys get embarrassed immediately as the Titan screen is 80% bigger in area (yup in sq in)... a great product for show me yours at Starbucks.... I'm thrilled with the product and highly recommend it.
