The HTC Titan is one of the newer Windows Phone phones out there, which the company just announced for its launch in September 2011. The main features of the HTC Titan include a 4.7-inch screen, an 8MP rear camera, a 1.3 MP front camera, a 1.5 GHz processor with 512 MB RAM and up to 16 GB of fixed storage. At 4.7 inches, the screen on the HTC Titan is the largest of all Windows phones at launch.

It’s too big?

Since the HTC Titan is the only 4.7-inch one, it’s easy to assume it’s too big a size for smartphones. Sure, it’s a killer when it comes to playing video, but a large screen, which translates to a large body, won’t exactly be useful. And an unhelpful smartphone just doesn’t seem like enough. However, the HTC Titan takes care of size concerns with a slim form factor of just 9.9mm. So it’s big but slim, weighing in at just 160 grams or just over 5.5 ounces. Not bad, right? Definitely. Unless you’re someone who likes to wear skinny jeans and put your phone in your pockets, the HTC Titan should work quite well for you. However, there is an advantage to the massive size of the screen, aside from the stellar video playback: there is plenty of room for the on-screen keyboard, so typing is comfortable, allowing you to enjoy one of the best experiences when listening. write so you can work on your documents and write messages with ease.

The screen

While the Titan is a big guy with a big screen, it features a resolution of only 800×480 for its screen. The good news, though, is that while this resolution is still lower than what other smartphones can offer, there wasn’t much pixelation to worry about, with great viewing angles and bright, sharp details. No justification was provided as to why HTC chose this type of resolution, but many people are speculating that this has to do with what the smartphone’s operating system needed.

Construction

Regardless of the shortcomings the HTC Titan had in its display, many critics were more than willing to pass up because the Titan’s build quality more than made up for it. The HTC Titan has a black painted body made of metal, with a small plastic bit at the bottom to allow aerial work. It was also reported that removing the case to reveal the core of the device was also quite pleasant. However, a small weakness detected in the construction has to do with the Titan’s paint job. Over time, it appeared that the paint would peel off and reveal the aluminum body underneath.

Accessories

The HTC Titan is reported to be compatible with a range of docking accessories that will allow the smartphone to be used intelligently as an alarm clock that charges overnight.
