The switching process is another incentive to those who want to move to Windows platform. With GBs of music, photos and videos stored on iPhones, iPads, iPods and iCloud, it is hard to sync an Android device to the iTunes but the Windows surely has an easy way to transfer those files, though it may […]

HTC pulled the curtains on the succession of the Titan line of smartphones at the Consumer Electronics Show 2012, the new HTC Titan II. This week the company released the Windows Phone-based smartphone. In a nutshell, the phone is a whopper with a larger footprint and a stunning 16-mega pixel camera. Though the Titan II is not the first Windows […]

At 5.1 inches tall by 2.8 inches wide by 0.39 inch thick, this handset is just as much of a behemoth. Sculpted in the flat, rectangular slab shape that’s become so common in today’s smartphones, the Titan II is the spitting image of many of HTC’s Android handsets. Tipping the scales at a hefty 6 […]

On back of the phone are the ultrahigh-resolution 16-megapixel camera and dual-LED flash array. A small speaker sits here too, plus understated monotone HTC and Windows Phone logos. A small textured back plate covers the SIM card compartment, but sadly there’s no SD card slot for extra storage, and the battery isn’t removable. The Titan […]

As with the original Titan, HTC added a few of its own flourishes to the Titan II’s OS. The HTC Hub showcases HTC’s signature clock and weather widget plus featured apps, news, and stock reports, and there are HTC-branded apps like HTC Watch, HTC’s video download and rental service, HTC’s Photo Enhancer, Locations, Notes, and […]

Integration with popular social media platforms on the Titan II is just as tight as ever. The phone supports Windows Live, Google Mail, Facebook, and Twitter accounts and also aggregates them into one convenient People Hub. Contacts and calendar details are seamlessly carried over from these services. I especially like the way the Pictures function […]

The handset certainly offers a wealth of features and settings such as smile capture, face detection, manual ISO, burst mode, and panorama, plus a heap of special scene modes. The snapper is quick as well. It takes less than a second to recognize a face and just much time to take back-to-back shots. On the […]

However, in the daylight the Titan II’s camera packs a powerful punch against all its competitors, be it from Apple or Google. The camera takes detailed pictures in the sunlight without overdoing the brightness. The focus on smaller aspects and far away objects is precise. It takes no time to take them in details. Though […]

Having said that, Lumia pack a punch in its unibody structure that deliberately comes in some flashy colours like Magenta, for example. Its lightly sculpted chassis and deliberate use of coloUr scream “lifestyle product.” Bold as an exclamation mark, the Lumia 900 has pure pop-art coursing through its electrical veins. The chassis has a perfectly […]

In both brightness and richness, the Lumia 900 absolutely blows away the Focus S, which at the time I hailed as a beautiful Super AMOLED Plus screen in its own right. At the same levels of full and automatic brightness, the Lumia 900 shone about a full level brighter than the Focus S. Beyond the […]

Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth are standards, though sadly, the Lumia 900 ships with Bluetooth 2.1, practically antique compared with the new Bluetooth 4.0 standard we’re starting to see in mobile devices. Nokia boasts that its 8-megapixel camera on the Lumia 900 has Carl Zeiss optics, which, along with its dual-LED flash and autofocus, are meant […]
