HTC Titan to Debut on AT&T Wireless on November 20

You guys are lucky. Up here in Canada, none of the big 3 have announced anything about the 2nd gen phones and Bell Canada has actually removed all it's Windows Phones from it's website. ...but it's raining iPhones, Androids and Blackberries.... So depressing..

Paul, I'm curious to know what you think of the review that the Guardian gave to this phone and the WP7 OS. To put it mildly, they were not impressed! The phone issues I can understand (large size and therefore awkward to use etc) but the criticisms of the OS are new to me and are well reasoned, to the point where I was really put off the idea of getting ANY WP7 device, let alone a Titan. What do you think? Link for the review is: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/nov/09/htc-titan-mango-windows...

So now the question is: Stay committed to Samsung and get the Focus S, wait 10 days and get the Titan, or wait 3+ months and get the US version of the Nokia 800? Why can't MS put a little pressure on the handset providers to commit to a firm launch date across the board for the phone lineup? That's one thing Apple does well, "here's the new phone, in all of it's flavors, and it's available on this day." If the Windows Phone full lineup could come together as a united front, the threat to the iPhone, in my opinion, would finally materialize. By staggering one phone this month, another three weeks later, and possibly the top of the line 3 months (possibly longer, and without giving specs for the US version) later, it's building consumer remorse into it's product. "Yeah, the Samsung looks nice, but there's the HTC coming, but the Nokia is coming out early next year. Hmmm, wonder if there's something better coming right after that? Screw it, I know what I'm getting with the iPhone and I won't even start to feel the need to upgrade for 12 months." I'm eligible to upgrade now and am sticking with WP, but it's frustrating to have to wait 3 months for something that's ready in Europe now.
