Did he just say Nikia Windows Phone devices ?

 

[JaggedSac]

Don't care for the monster camera sensor or the LTE, but damn the nerve of them releasing version 2 of the same phone a couple months after the first one.

 

[Doffen]

Well, it is the Titan II. If HTC had any good designers left, they probably could've come up with something special, but hey.

But I want it to be visible that I’ve got a better phone than those with the original Titan (If I go for the Titan II that is).

 

[VanMardigan]

Meh, it'll be about 5 months when the Titan 2 launches. Not as annoying as the Android pace. They hit you with an original, an lte version, an HD version, and a white version within a few months.

Doesn’t it look just the same as the Titian or am I blind? Oh and I love the specs.

its got a slight chin that mine doesnt have...

The phone got a chin! You can show off the chin of your phone! Other than that you better ask the iPhone 4S users for advice.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Damn!

I own a Titan, love it, but that 16 mp camera would be fucking sweet.

 

[frontieruk]

the megapixel-peen race is bad at any sensor size, more so at mobile phone size.

It's still odd they are trying to play the android game.... never suited wp7 because our phones are not screwed over by subsequent updates.

I'll be interested to see what the 900 ends up being (sounds like we know pretty close). Also its a pretty big failure to have all these devices on at&t. at&t does have a ton of subscribers but only targeting 80 million subscribers is a huge issue. Really should have had one phone on at&t and the other on verizon. Now they are going to have to compete against each other for sales.

I agree. On a DSRL camera

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

Yeah but

Peter Chou said the handset was a showcase of HTC’s promise to the mobile lifestyle and was “Titan II is packed with image technology”.

The camera will feature a fast wide-angle lens (f2.6, 28mm), autofocus, and dual LED flash, red eye reduction, image stabilization, a panorama mode for landscapes, and a burst shot mode for sports or kids.

The camera has a dedicated image processor and a back-illuminated sensor for low light sensitivity.

I think the Titan II's camera will surprise us. The Titan's camera is concidered to be the best WP camera by some. I can only imagine the TII's camera to be better.

It's still odd they are trying to play the android game.... never suited wp7 because our phones are not screwed over by subsequent updates.

Well they were bound to announce a 4G LTE phone and the II in Titan II gives it a psychological advantage.

 

[Lanbeast]

As spotty as AT&T's network can be, I don't really mind that I'll miss out on the LTE for now with the Titan II. Same deal with the 16mp camera. They aren't really additions that would have made it worth the wait.

That being said, I wish they would fix some of the Titan network issues. My 3gs had 4-5 bars in between home and my job and with the Titan I hang around one.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Well, Titan II softens the blow of not being eligible for an upgrade until July. I'm going to assume it'll be out by then.

 

[Steelyuhas]

What are the chances of MS talking about an update to the OS today?

 

[Doffen]

What are the chances of MS talking about an update to the OS today?

31.5 %

 

[brotkasten]

What are the chances of MS talking about an update to the OS today?

Pretty low, I'd say. They could tease the low-budget update/Tango, but I don't know anything about that.

 

[ElNino]

Why, so you can eat through your storage quicker? A 16 megapixel camera makes no sense to me on a phone... except for marketing I guess.

 

[Klocker]

I want to hear what Samsung is adding

 

[PG2G]

I want to hear what Samsung is adding

Rumors said it was a larger screen.

 

[PG2G]

They should have bumped the storage of the Titan II up to 32 gigs, damnit

 

[Blackhead]

Why are all the WP devices so big? When does MS announce Tango? I'm hoping for some < 3.5" devices to be announced then.

 

[brotkasten]

Because people want phones with larger screens. I know I don't and that will be a problem this fall.

What is your ideal size? I'm loving the 4" of the Focus, though even that size might not be an option come Apollo time.

 

[Milchjon]

Love the size of my Lumia 800. Is the 900 supposed to be much bigger or is it just the screen that's growing?

 

[brotkasten]

Basically a Lumia 800 with a 4". The body could house a screen like that, imo.

I need a thumb extender if it continues :/

That's a win-win, FUCK

 

[Psychotext]

I wonder what the speed test will consist of.

 

[kehs]

I wonder what the speed test will consist of.

The did the same thing last year, probably picture -> facebook. Locked phone -> camera, type things.

Sometimes I find the screen on my Focus a little too big and that I would probably prefer a 3.7" screen.

 

[giga]

16 megapixels? Did they increase the sensor size at all because otherwise the photos will be noisier in dark conditions.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I hope Canada gets some love at the Nokia presser. Not much longer now. Wonder if there will be a video stream?

You remember that Elop memo of the burning platform? Are we sure he was talking about Symbian?

 

[derFeef]

Will stay up for Nokia (midnight). But then I hit the sack, hopefully satified with lumia 900 infos.

 

[Klocker]

not WP news but crap Samsung just announced the active stylus 5.3" LTE Galaxy Note on ATT as a corporate secure device

Wonder what the best live blog would be for the Nokia press conference? Using CNet at the moment from the Gaf CES thread.
