HTC Titan It’s hard to miss the HTC Titan. With a 4.7 inch screen it pretty much tops the list of smartphone displays, bringing the Mango operating system, otherwise known as Windows Phone 7.5 (WP7.5), to life in a big way. Now, a lot has been said about Mango and not all of it good. The Titan, however, does the operating system justice. As the guys at Tech blog, Engadget, put it “The Windows Phone OS is an amazing experience at this screen size.” As well as bringing out the best of your photos and videos, the screen size makes typing easy as well as helping to simplify the process of switching between applications when you’re multitasking. The Titan comes packed with features including an 8 megapixel camera with an effective panoramic function which brings landscapes to life and HD video that catches the crispness of the real thing. Unusually for WP handsets, the Titan has a front facing camera and 16Gb of memory so you can store your pics, tracks and download plenty of apps. Importantly for a larger handset, the Titan is rugged and comes with an aluminium back cover that protects the phone whilst looking impressively stylish and in spite of its size, it still fits comfortably in your pocket. You can get your hands on a Titan for free on the Smart 1200 at the Sure store, so pop in and try it out. Pay as you go £549 www.surecw.com
