The Titan II is the good kind of sequel: It doesn’t screw up anything that made the original a fan favorite, but it adds everything they want. Like a crazy 16-megapixel camera, LTE (at least on AT&T over in the States) and a massiver battery.
It really is just like the original Titan, but with a slightly fresher industrial design—it’s prettier!—and LTE and a big-baller camera packed in. So on the LTE front, despite a million people packed on AT&T’s network, we’re getting 10Mbps downstream pretty consistently, and even heavy web pages load with serious zip, between the Titan II’s 4G and 1.5GHz processor.
But what about the camera? It’s pretty damn good, considering how many pixels are crammed into the phone. Autofocus and shooting is plenty quick, though sometimes I wish Windows Phone gave you slightly more control over the camera. I’m working on getting some full size photos up on Flickr, but here’s one to hold you over.
All in all, there’s not much more to say, though, than it seems like a pretty solid update to an already solid phone.
Still no word on either Titan in Australia, though MobiCity is selling the first-gen Titan for $699.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 9:13 PMTechnically it’s still Gen 2.. because there are no improvememnts except for design and the camera. internal specs all the same. Gen 2.5?

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 11:58 AMIs it only LTE networks or will it be 3G and 2G as well? So I guess a kind of quad band or higher band phone?

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 1:56 PMTelstra’s 1700 LTE is looking good for the Nokia 900 at the moment.

Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 8:07 PMTelstra’s LTE is 1800Mhz initially.
Of more interest is which telco will be the big winner in the 700Mhz spectrum auction.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 1:14 PMMP doesn’t mean a helluva lot if the sensor is the size of a pinhead.. 16MP in a phone doesn’t make me want to buy it.. other features it has might.. but not a 16MP camera.

More MP on a small sensor will result in poorer image quality.
It’s not like people shooting on their camera phone are going to be printing them out at A2 size.
The only benefit of having a 16MP sensor is to crop the photos after you’ve taken them.
