So far, Microsoft has turned up the heat a little but Nokia is really putting in work. Therefore, any time I see Windows Phone 7 device on TV, other than a commercial, is fantastic. Take a look at these shots of the star of Psych, James Roday, holding what I am sure is the Samsung focus.

I am now into my 3rd day of using my HTC Titan and I must tell you it has been an absolute pleasure. Prior to Black Friday, I had been using my Samsung Focus Windows Phone since it launched a little over a year ago. I have been very pleased with my Focus and had planned to purchase the new Samsung Focus S however, once I held the HTC Titan in my hands at the Windows Phone Inner Circle event in Washington D. C., I knew this was the device for me. Since that day, I have been anxiously waiting for AT&T to release the HTC Titan and now that I have it, the Titan has not disappointed.
