HTC Titan<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>The HTC Titan was my first experience with a Windows Phone and while my expectations were low going into it, I was genuinely surprised with both the phone and the operating system.<\/p>\n

First impressions of the Titan are nothing but good.\u00a0 When you pick up the Titan, you\u2019ll notice it feels solid in your hands and the big screen makes viewing and using the phone extremely easy.\u00a0 I was nervous at first that the phone would be too big, but it is saved by its thinness, which allows it to slip nicely into your pocket.\u00a0 The phone has both front camera and an 8MP rear camera.\u00a0 It takes good pictures including some nice panoramics.\u00a0\u00a0 The Titan\u2019s 1.5 GHz single core processor was able to keep up with commands and didn\u2019t have problems apps or games.\u00a0 What was upsetting was that the phone has only 16GB of storage and no space for an SD card so you have to be careful with what music or movies you decide to put on it or risk running out of room very quickly.<\/p>\n

Using Windows Phone 7.5 on the Titan takes getting used to and took me a little exploring to discover the ins and outs.\u00a0 It\u2019s not as customizable as Android and your home screen can\u2019t fit as many different icons on one screen as the other two operating systems, but the advantage to the live tiles is they add a little pizzazz to your phone. \u00a0The large tiles are easy to interact with and are always changing their appearance. With the Titan, you can view tiles 2 across by 4 down at one time and seamlessly scroll up and down to view the rest.\u00a0 You can also customize it by \u2018pinning\u2019 apps, games, even specific peoples social network feeds to your home screen to keep track of what close friends are up to.<\/p>\n

My biggest problem was that the Windows Marketplace is still lacking.\u00a0 While it does have most of the popular apps, it doesn\u2019t have anywhere near as many as Android or iOS.\u00a0 Also you may have to pay for some apps that are free on other operating systems. \u00a0This has the potential to change however if Windows starts to<\/p>\n

The Titan was fun and entertaining to use and the fact that it uses Windows Phone sets it apart from the competition. \u00a0Windows\u2019 approach to their interface gives users an experience that is very different from that of Android and iOS.\u00a0 While it still has its pros and cons, at the very least the interface was dynamic and if you\u2019re bored with Android or iOS, the Titan is worth looking into.<\/p>\n
