After a week of using my new HTC Titan, I decided to invest into a nice case. Although the Titan has a very solid build, the smooth metal body makes it susceptible to drops. During the first week, I had a couple of close calls.
After searching the Internet and only coming up with mostly pouches and cheap black gel cases, I decided to try the AT&T website. AT&T had a Case-Mate Tough Case for the Titan that wasn’t even listed on the Case-Mate website. The Case-Mate listed for $45 which is more than I wanted pay for a case, but the day I purchased it, there was a 35% discount. So I ended up paying $29.25 that day.

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.

Kevin Wheeler a frequent listener of the SMRPodcast was kind enough to take pictures of the Black Friday lines at the Microsoft Store in Tysons Corner Mall, VA. He saw over 200 people lined up waiting to get Samsung Laptops, The Xbox, and Windows Phone devices. Microsoft was giving away all Windows Phone devices for free with a 2-year contract.

For people waiting around for the HTC Titan may be disturbed to know that you will be waiting a bit longer. We ordered the HTC Titan from AT&T on Monday morning and have just now received an email that the 4.7 inch Windows Phone 7 device is now backordered. This goes back to reports that we were getting on Monday were readers could not find the massive Titan phone at their local retailers. I am not sure if they had a last minute issue or are demand for the HTC Titan higher than they expected. Whichever turns out to be true, these are issue Microsoft do not need. I hope that devices will make it out soon to the Windows Phone 7 fans that want them.

We have received word that readers are having trouble locating the HTC Titan Windows Phone 7 device at local AT&T retail stores. After hearing about the difficulties, I decided to go to my local store and to my surprise; the Titan was not in stock. Furthermore, one of the associates at the store informed me that HTC pushed the retail shipment of Titan’s back for two weeks. We know some people were able to get hold of the new device but we are wondering if more people are running into the same situation that I am seeing.

After what seemed to be years, however in actuality only a few weeks, we have finally received the HTC Titan. As far as Windows Phone 7 devices goes, the Titan is one of the best devices available. When you grab the phone, hold, and feel it, you quickly feel why HTC earned the sentiments reviewers are giving it.

There are many new phones coming out over the next few weeks however, we wanted to peek at two of the hottest Smartphones on different platforms.
For Android users the Motorola Droid Razr is definite the phone to get while on Windows Phone 7 the HTC Titan seems to be the choice phone for many people.
Looking at the hardware alone the Droid Razr clearly is the better device. While the HTC Titan is bigger, the Razr has a higher screen resolution, faster processor, and LTE support you just have to give that to the RAZR. On the other hand, when we include the operating systems, I believe it evens the phones up a bit, because Windows Phone 7 is one of the smoothest and fastest mobile operating systems and I also don’t believe that the Android OS and the apps that run on it are completely optimized to use multi-cores.

The countdown officially begins for the best Windows Phone 7 device’s release date and if you have not listened to the SMRPodcast then I will simply inform you that we are speaking of the HTC Titan. This phone is the 4.7-inch beast that I fully intend on owning on day one. While we are not quite sure why it did not release on November 6 however all is forgiven. The HTC Titan will sell for 199.99 on contract and will get you a 1.5GHz processor and a WVGA Super LCD screen.
You can see the announcement on AT&T’s website.

Both Rod and Chris attended the Windows Phone event in New York on Monday and Tuesday and I think the phone that they both liked the most was the 4.7-inch HTC Titan.
According to the @HTCUSA Twitter account, AT&T is set to launch the HTC Titan on Nov. 20th for $199.99. Rod just picked up the iPhone 4s, so, he may hold off on the Titan, but, I’d be willing to bet that Chris is already making plans to camp out at the AT&T store just so that he can be first in line to pick his up…
