Titan. It’s a ballistic missile and one of Saturn’s moons. The word also plays a huge role in Greek mythology and in normal use refers to something of enormous power and influence. So it’s understandable, then, why HTC seems to prefer it as a name for its phones. So much so, in fact, that the release of the LTE-enabled Titan II on AT&T actually marks not the second, but fourth iteration of the name: if you recall, the company once released two Windows Mobile devices called the TyTn.
We had mixed feelings as we watched the latest Titan get introduced at AT&T’s Developer Summit in January. On the one hand, we were intrigued by the idea of a smartphone with a monstrous 16-megapixel camera, as well as LTE – something the world previously hadn’t seen on a Windows Phone device. But the announcement also took place a mere two months after its predecessor launched on AT&T’s network, which gave us the sinking feeling Ma Bell’s new strategy was to crank out a plethora of refreshed phones boasting only a couple of new features (see: the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket). So what of this sequel we have before us? Will it come out victorious like Remember the Titans or a disaster like Titanic? Is it worth it to new customers to shun the free Nokia Lumia 900 and shell out $200 for this guy instead? Follow us down the page and we’ll fill you in.
