Hello all,
I love big screens because I read a lot on phones,
so I decide to buy either the HTC Titan or the Titan II
my question to whom used both phones for a while
please advise which one should I invest my money in
I don't care a lot about camera or LTE network because I live in Egypt and LTE will be available within more than a year
I care a lot about signal strength and phone stability and long live
and somewhat the good looking and feel in hands
will the Titan I metal body be better than the Titan II plastic body?
I'll be waiting for your comments
and many thanks in advance
Buy a used Titan and save your money for WP8.

good point, I'll consider it
but at ebay used titan and used titan II prices are almost the same
so which one should i pick
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4027&idPhone2=4411
basically they are the same devices except the huge camera !
if you want photography, go with the titan II (obviously 16mp vs 8mp)
for better battery life, go for the titan !!
the battery life on the og titan is much better than that on titan 2 !
your call !
good luck..
I made this gsmarena comparison before,
but thanks aaki_rocker anyway
you have talked about good perspective which is batery life
I'll be waiting for somebody to tell me actual opinion about which devise is good in hands
and which one is more reliable in daily operations

the battery on the titan is less compared to titan II still it lasts longer than titan II
maybe lte is the culprit here !
i recommend you to go for titan but again its your personal choice !

thanks again man for the advise
my desire is trend to the metalic Titan also
but I hope to hear more comments and opinions
to help me and also to be a referrence for members that will be confused like me
I had a Titan and now I have the Titan II. My opinion after owning both I would go with the Titan II. The original Titan had some reception issues and the sound quality on voice calls was sporatic to bad, I was always getting complaints that I sounded underwater or far away. The Titan II has much better sound quality and I my opinion the reception is better. Battery life is almost the same especially if you live in an area that doesnt have LTE coverage yet. The camera is Super on the Titan II with lots of tweaking options, however the Titan camera is no slouch and takes very clear and crisp pics. Thats my two cents, voice quality is first and foremost in cell phones.

very good DZWAY007, thanks
that was very helpful
but can you please tel us which phone is better in the build quality
is it the metalic titan or the plastic titan 2? I'm a very heavy phone user and build quality is important to me
is there any difference in speed or screen quality?
If the prices were close, no question the Titan II. Why ?
Better over all device, better camera, better optics, a little newer design. Also, it's New, so it will be supported longer (when the it's said that the Titan is disco'ed).
This also brings up a point about WP8, Would you go with the older or newer one knowing current models would get WP8 and older ones might not ? (not saying that is true but, think about it)

I agree with you
but I think if the titan ii will get the wp8 update the titan i also should has it
the only thing that makes me hesitated is the cheap plastic body of the titan ii

Plastic will hold up.... The titan 2 looks like a higher end phone. The reviews I read about the Titan 2 claim it might be plastic but, looks like a really high quality phone. I would not worry about that, HTC phones are over all body wise have been pretty well built.
Remember there was something said about the titan 1 being discontinued, if that's the case, updates might be done with it...
mmmmmm.....
I can see that the titan II now should be the choice
is there any more advices

Stop in the store and take a look at them both and hold them both if you can. Besides the over all screen and everything else, it still is Windows Phone 7.5...
Personally, if I was with AT&T right now and between the 3 phones, Lumia 900, Titan and Titan 2, I would take the Titan 2.
The display is almost as good as the L900 but claimed better contrast on it, so it's easier on the eyes if you plan on reading books on it. And the camera, not that I take a lot of pictures but, when I do, they will be as good or better than the 16mp Sony point and shoot I have now. So, I wont need it any more, infact, I would sell it. With the bent display on the TItan 2 makes it look like a high end phone...

this is good talking,
I don't prefer nokia in smartphones
and it seems that the Titan II is the winner here
by the way I'm in Egypt now and I can't compare the 3 phones
may be I'll wait for June, I probably will be in New York for business
and thanks for the advise
does anybody has more advices?
TITAN II any day
Hope u have picked up your choice of device .But if you havent , please do consider Titan II as the Titan have very poor voice quality and camera sucks ... My old HD7 takes better one than this .
The thing about call quality is because of a noise cancellation mic next to stereo socket .There is a thread which talks about covering it with a tape ... But all that has not helped me personally . Also if ther SRS enhancement is turned on , there is a lag on the whole system .. Its more like they came out with titan II cos of all these issues and cos they cannot help to fix it . So Titan II is recommended .
About Camera , it has that yellowish tint which used to be a common issue with HD2 , it has to do with the position of flash .. The daylight shots are pretty decent but night shots are very bad , take a look at yourself .
Build quality goes for Titan but who cares , i want to be able to talk and do things better with my new phone , not admire the material used .

I been struggling between these new phone, and wondering which is the best to get. I'm leaning toward Diamond since I could get it by tomorrow, but heard many bad things with it's battery life, lack of memory card slot, and such. So can anyone tell me if I should get the Diamond or should I just give it alittle wait for something else ?
HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch HD, Samsung Omnia, IPhone 3G, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, Andoid? ......... etc.
Thanks in advance !
The diamond is a decent choice for a new phone, however if you can afford it, hold out for the Touch HD, Xperia, Or Dream/G1.
Those 3 phones will be the most killer handsets to hit the market this year.
Touch Diamond is right below them, still making a great handset. But go with a more powerful device if you can. They become outdated quickly.
The thing with the touch HD is that is is almost exactly the same spec to the touch pro including the same chipset and battery, combined with a massive screen the HD must draw more power, its basic physics and since it uses the same chipset its doubtful it will have much in the way of more power efficency so to the point the battery must be pretty poor compared to a pro.
So Yes the HD sounds great but the battery question needs to be answered first
Diamond in my opinion is a bit to small and the battery is very poor otherwise its very good
Pro is a bit more chunky than the diamond but is actually much the same size as previous generation of phones even with a keyboard its smaller than an O2 Orbit.
Iphone looks nice, and does its job well, but in my opinion its poor quality your very limited in what you can do with it and i wouldnt touch it with a barge pole due to its big brother style atitude to software, music and phone contract.
the other two i have no experiece with so cant really comment, for me im going to see how i like the Pro when O2 releases it, hopefully the question on HD battery life can be answered by then, then i can make my mind up.
As stated above, wait for the last models of 2008:
Omnia, HD, G1, Xperia
And after that you can make your choice
Diamond is not bad, but there are much better models
Depends on how much you want to spend.............
Diamonds are forever!
I know people go on about the Diamonds' battery life, but considering the power and size of this little device, I wouldn't consider it useless!
I get a good two days use out of mine... a few calls, loads of internet browsing, WiFi use, games, and music via a bluetooth headset. I really don't think that's bad. Let's face it, the only phones that last a week on one charge these days are feeble lack-lustre, brick sized devices.
Another point to remember is that because the TF3D interface is sooo much fun to play with, people are probably using their Diamonds' a whole lot more than their previous devices, therefore giving the impression that the battery life is poor.
The Touch HD does look good, but remember it's bigger and will be more power hungry! I think the Diamond is the best in it's class... best size... best specs... best TFT... I LOVE IT!!!
I was researching the HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro; But I have now pre-ordered the HTC Touch HD due to it's spec's & state-of-art design!

My Orbit can last up to ~8 hours using its GPS on a standard 1250 battery
HTC Touch Diamond according to HTC, will last 2 hours, even taking in to account battery sizes, the diamond isnt very power economical.
But your right, dont use the GPS and the phone isnt to bad, indeed it would probably last as long as my orbit so in that respect it does a a good job, the problem with that way of thinking is if i leave it on my desk in standby and never use it at all it will last for a week or more
but seriously its a great little PDA and if size is important than thats a winner, if high usability is, than perhaps its not the phone for you.

Thats a bold thing to do, unreviewed, unproven apart from a couple of vids an a few snaps, ignoring the bigger screen and the better camera that the HD has and the keyboard that the Pro has they are identical i believe, oh not forgetting the 3.5mm jack on the HD.
What im concerned about is the battery on the HD, running that thing may take a lot more juice an the pro wasnt great in the first place.
Thats a bold gamble, one i think i'll wait until the reviews start flying about giving ideas of its good and bad points.
Thank alot for the reply guys !
I have decided just to get the Diamond since it's a decent phone and I could get my hand on it right now. I'll pass on those new phones since they might have the same flaw or even more problems. I'll be a proud owner of Diamond in a few hours.

hi guys!
wifey lost her phone. i want to get her a 5mp phone with gps (so i can install remote tracker just in case she lost it again). and oh, ofcourse, it should be WM.
any thoughts?
ciao!
Wait for the HTC Touch HD, that's the only HTC phone I know of that has a 5MP camera and A-GPS.
ouch, im sure that'll be way over our budget then. lol.
thanks Black93300ZX.

Well that depends if it releases with a carrier for a subsidized price... If you're in the US, yeah, it'll be ridiculous money. I can't think of many other options with 5MP and GPS, at least, none closer to your price range... The Omnia has both but it'll probably cost you $700. :|
Samsung Omnia.
Having owned HTC devices for many years, I can say that im my opinion, the Omnia is far better than any HTC device i've owned (and that includes a Diamond).
there is a lot of myths about high mpixel cams quality
just adding more megapixels dont improve the quality
of the pictures if the optic is not good quality
and the lense is as small as cameras in phones
absolutley, its a converged device and therefore only to be compared with other converged devices. If you want a spanking camera the only way you will get that is with a "proper" camera.
That said, we need to drive demand for this stuff so that manufacturers keep pushing themselves in order for us to receive better and better for our money. If we didn't we'd still have monochrome screen nokia's using old gsm downloading (if you ever bothered!) at a sexy 9600 baud!
i agree with rudegar.
i just wanted my wife to get the best from among the phones out there. if the price of omnia is not that too far off from sonyericsson k850i, then i might get an omnia. albeit i've read on one of the threads that k850i cameras are the best (better than nokia n95, samsung g800, etc) although no gps
i guess the combination of goodcamera+gps is still too far away on the future.
thanks peeps!
Hello every one:
I want to buy a phone soon so i need your help
are you advice me to buy Samsung i900 omnia
What are the advantages and problems of this device?/
waiting you.....
The advantage is that its windows mobile: easily customizable. The camera is great. One of the better 5mp camera for PDA phones. Build quality is also good.Speakers are very loud and crisp.
Bad points are that it has a pretty bad screen resolution of 240x400. This is relatively low to its 3.2in screen.It is also slightly laggy.Most importantly, it does not have as much support as HTC devices. Screen was initially quite sensitive but later somehow became unresponsive.No 3.5mm headphone jack.
Other devices you could look at are the Omnia II. Larger AMOLED screen. Faster processor.You can also try the Diamond II.

Seems to be a better competitor in price, performace and other things.
The specs for acer model are indeed impressive but no offence...the company kinda doesnt have a good reputation.

The fact the latest HTC devices survive is XDA.
Infact, the latest samsung devices and some other devices(Acer,Toshiba) are hardwarewise pretty good. But, without much support like XDA giving for HTC.
Thats the major fact that is keeping HTC alive till now.
The day XDA changes its stand on other brand handsets, it will be a great day for the whole mobile community.
thank you for replying
but if i update the firmware to the latest version does the screen sesitivity get beter??
another question : how about the screen under direct sunlight?

I trust you aware that Samsung Omnia i900 (Omnia I) is the old model.. but as the i800(Omnia II) came out the price should be very attractive.
Anyhow if you need really more info..I would go to here http://www.modaco.com/category/342/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/
My Personal opinion: I just bought it for my wife.. Price ca. USD360 ..for that price class there is no better device on the market..
Big update... all new resolution an all... and still 65K ?
Hell... that's 16bits of color... computer left them back in the Voodoo3...
Why are windows mobile so limited in color still ?
P.S.: Sorry for the DIG
I had the HTC mozart the first day it had released and absolutely fell in love with the OS.
I am approaching the end of my contract and was planning on another WP7.
I initially had plans to get the lumia but the lack of FFC and non removable battery is kind of holding me back (I had to take out the battery of the mozart quite a lot of time when it gets hanged and would prefer a new phone where I can take out the battery)
Which phone do you guys thing would be the best bet for WP7 (Anything in market or any phone which is going to be released soon)
Cheers
Shamreez
PS: Played with my friends Galaxy s 2 and that is a pretty tempting phone too
I recently picked up an HD7 for free on a 3 year plan and really like the phone. The 4.3" screen is nice and it doesn't lag at all. WP7 doesn't need huge specs to run well so I wouldn't let that concern you.

However the HTC HD7 battery life really sucks. I'm not sure if it is just my device but I have already turned off ALL synchronizations. On the settings -> battery saver. A full charge only shows me that I have 15hours. The battery drains are really bad.

We have two HD7's (wife) and have been very happy with the battery life. I have had them for a couple of months and have never run out of battery life in a single day. I always recharge at night anyway. Being a software dev I tend to push the phone pretty hard as well. However, I do turn off bluetooth when not in the car.
Overall I am very pleased, as I initially thought the 4.3" screen would suck the juice, but so far that hasn't been the case.
Titan. Not sure if you can get one where you are, but it's outstanding. I had a Focus, which I liked a great deal, but picked up the Titan to try out. Was intending to return it, as I expected it to be just too big, but I love it.
It's funny, when I go back to look at my Focus, I think of how small it is .
of the devices right available now, the titan (giant screen, fairly thin, great build materials) or the focus s (excellent screen, super thin, super light) are the best choices if you want a large screen (and if you can get them where you live and work on your networks)
the only device that is upcoming that interests me right now is the nokia ace (lumia 900)
Ditto on on the Titan.
I picked up both a Radar and a Titan. I actually loved the Radar, and it would be a great choice for someone who needed more of a mid-range phone and is happy with a more compact size.
But the Titan is simply awesome. Windows Phone really comes to life on that huge screen. The Titan is the one I kept.
Lumia 900 I'm predicting LTE modem since its said to come with windows phone tango.
You'll have to wait a few months though...
Sent from my Windows Phone Mango Focus using Board Express
So I guess the best thing would be to go for the titan now or wait for the Nokai Ace.
(I am prepared to wait if it is 2 - 3 months) but I guess it would be more (Or would Nokia try to disturb Apple iphone 5 party by releasing it on March)
I have the hd7 now and love it... I definatly am not getting a white phone(titan).
I have yet to see an omg I need that phone. Like I did with the hd2 and hd7.
Im in the same boat as you though. I would sell the hd7 and get another phone while the hd7 is still holding its value but there is nothing standing out from the rest.. 2nd gen devices dont have HSPL yet, there specs arent far greater than 1st gen anyway..
Nokia does seem like they will be putting out some really nice phones though. But come on its Nokia, Id love to see HTC put out something to compete with Nokia's phones I have a feeling they will be coming out with. Ive own HTC phones since my ppc-6700(remember that block) and I think their quality is really good.

I think those choices would be the best ones you can make. I'd go for the Titan. It has a good battery life, great build quality, it's thinner than the HD7 and the screen's massive.
The things one can hear concerning the Nokia Ace are cool too. But I also think that you'll have to wait more than 2 or 3 months until it's released. iPhone 5 releases are just speculation - normally Apple releases it in july (after the WWDC) but for example the iPhone 4S was released later. If I was you, I'd take the Titan and be happy
For Wp i would choose phone from Htc, i have 7 trophy, and i am very happy.
hello friends !
i am about to get an atrix 2 from a friend in cheap !
so i was asking whether it would be good to buy this phone !
i know the chipset is old and all and that is not of my primary concern !
things i want to know about are
-battery life (main concern)
-camera and camcorder quality
-headphones output
-screen quality
-loudspeaker output
would also like to know about the jellybean update and how would you compare it to ics ?
i have been through many reviews of this device but would like to get personal user experiences from y'all..
you can also compare this device to the used devices in my signature pic so i'll get a very clear idea !
thanks...
buy it lets share the joys and regrets of this, well in my opinion is "UNIQUE" phone,, and if its cheap.. why think twice..

Yes, it is old, and therefor will not perform like new devices, but it was good for it's time, so is still not half bad.
Battery life can be good, but keep in mind you are buying a used phone, so it will have lost capacity over time. if it is bad, you might want to invest in a new battery.
Camera was one of the best of the time, and still is very good.
headphones work fine, but I doubt you will see anything particularly bad or good with them. keep in mind, as with all phones with the jack on the top, lint from your pants pocket often gets jammed in it, causing loss of audio or poor connections. you can remove it carefully with a bent paper clip (google it).
The screen is higher resolution than most phones when i came out, but it still is not as good as the phones today. Some people complain about a yellow tint, but generally the screen is very good.
Can't say much on the loudspeaker, I have never really used a different phones, but it does sound loud and good to me.
Jelly Bean really speeds things up, and most of the custom ROMs are JB anyways so you are probably going to want it.
And if you dont like to root the phone and flash the roms....
if can always install the official JB leak... this is pretty cool...
JB obviously much better than ICS.... It runs really really smooth...
Its been over an year now.. but still loving Atrix2 alot....

My answers to your query in bold.
Battery life is phenomenal in 2G mode. I suggest you use tasker to toggle 3G/2G according to your need. The phone is strictly average in the present day. In addition, the non-existent Motorola presence in India makes spares harder to come by. So, even if you buy it for a pittance and later need a new battery, that alone would cost you 1500 Rs, and broken screen takes 1month to repair.
I suggest you not to rush into the purchase and regret it later .

perfect answer !
doubts cleared !
thanks buddy...
getting a mint one black & white for 8k buddy !
what do you think. should I ??
Also just to point out, this phone has been locked down a lot by Motorola and our devs have worked hard to find work arounds. If you love flashing Roms and would require an unlocked boot loader then I can't suggest that you buy this phone.
That said, it is not a low end phone. Pretty fast and smooth. It has a good camera that takes quality pictures. Lastly it's pretty durable in comparison to other smart phones.

8K is the current going rate for Atrix 2s. What I would suggest is that you be thoroughly aware and ready to accept any pitfalls that might occur in the near future with this phone as far as Motorola support is concerned, if you intend to buy it.Agreed, it is a durable phone, a daily driver and runs Jellybean 4.1. However, what I got to know in the 3-4 months after I bought this phone that it is the Software that makes up the phone, the dev support, the variety of features and custom ROMs available. The locked bootloader on this model makes any stable Key Lime Pie upgrade doubtful, and the customizations for this are even lesser than that for Droid RAZR. And I presume that you know that this phone doesn't support 3G videocall over GSM network. You'll get bored after a day or two with this phone after having owned the likes of Razr and the One X.
I bought this phone over the Galaxy S II in September 2012 , very well knowing that even ICS upgrade might not come for this phone, and that it had more durability and better resolution than the former. But now, it feels ancient in the current lineup of Quads and 2GB RAM phones.
In short:
Don't buy it just because it is being sold for peanuts. Buy it if you really intend to use it despite the abovesaid facts.

right buddy !
i will think again and decide!
thanks for your valuable opinion..
i had an eye on this phone for its battery life though !
Among all the phones that were below 20K INR last year, this is the only one you can run Jelly Bean on. Most of the hardware purchased by others last year, are stuck to GB (and rarely upgraded to ICS). That way, the phone has given enormous return of investment to people who bought it new last year. Even now, if you're looking to run JB - this is one of your best options (assuming you're not interested in micromax/carbon etc) as value for money.
