It’s a great phone with 1.5 ghz but battery is only 1600 mah. It’s a big disadvantage
The Titan is an amazing phone with very few gripes. The resolution may be lower, but the display is still amazing. Texting is made lightening fast with a large keyboard and pictures, reading material, and other media are made very clear with a bigger presentation. The responsiveness of the phone is much better than that of the iPhone and the integration of social media, a large component of today’s world, is just wonderful. By the way, the phone is definitely 4G (and the Titan II will be LTE) while the iPhone is still stuck in the world of 3G and according to rumors, the iPhone 5 will only be 4G. Sorry, but Apple never caught my attention and the integration of the Windows OS has won me over.
