Phones4u selling HTC titan

Hi guys just wanted to share my experience with HTC titan. I went into the phones4u store in Basingstoke today and caught a glimpse of a demo unit being shown to a customer. When I asked to look at it I was sat down and asked plenty of questions about my contract. When being asked my name in a store I get a little uneasy... When asked for my phone number when I just want go have a look at a phone I fond it a little annoying. I did say to the girl I just wanted to look at it. She brought her manager over and he indicated the reason they ask the questions is incase i run off with the phone! Lol. I said i should not need to give my number just to look at the device and told him not to bother. I might have been the lucky new owner of a titan! Not today though!
I would plead with anyone in the UK not to bother with phones4u if you can help it. I felt very unwelcome and wish i had never gone in. I would also ask that

I could not read what I was writing. Using omnia 7 on xda app. It would not scroll down.
Continued: if anyone from HTC reads this please don't give phones4u exclusives if they treat their customers in this manner. After all in not going to buy a phone if i can't have a look at it!!
The glimpse from 6ft I did see it looked very nice !

I've totally agree with you. I have only been into a phone4u shop once and I don't think I ever will again. I found them quite rude and unprofessional. My first impression of the staff was chavs! They looked and dressed like the kids you see hanging around the spar shop at night.
I wouldn't trust them personally. Instead I've been using my local o2 shop for many years, mainly because its always a good experience!

Funny you mention it. I called a local store sometime this afternoon about it. They confirmed its availability, but were quick to ask my name. It was a rather strange feeling. Of course, I didn't. Apparently, they only have it on contract ATM and wanted an unlocked version anyways, so I could escape without them asking for my mother's maiden name.

thats what you folks get for doing all of that rioting over there lol

I went to Birmingham Phones4u today with intentions of picking up a TITAN.
The people who greeted me were VERY nice, the first phones they showed me, without me asking questions were the RADAR and TITAN.
I sat down and was told I would pay £33 a month for the TITAN and £9.99 for insurance.
I was fine with that, then 20mins later, they offered me the same deal for £31 p/m and £7.99 for insurance and a free accessory pack
I had a successful day

Awesome. Why don't you put up a (mini, video)review. I really want to know what that screen is like, constrast ratio and viewing angles most importantly. The only thing keeping me from getting it right now.

Video and pictures please.

I got mine yesterday and cant bloody use it with my live account.
Is it says i reached the max of 5 devices and can only remove a phone on the 7th.
Have you noticed it has internet sharing in the settings

Call Microsoft. They can remove it sooner for you.

Unusual for them to be selling locked phones, usually they are sim free they just bundle the contract with the handset

They are unlocked from phones4u. I'm debating buying on eBay from ecell they are only£415 that and a giftgaff sim works out the same as 24 month contract. I just want to hold one and see if its too big. Anyway.. Post was phones4u related and i certainly won't be going back.

If you have ever held a HD7 then the titan would feel very similiar. I went to Phones4U yesterday and requested to see the Titan.. He sat me down and went to pick it up. Fresh out of the box, never turned on. I held it in my hand whilst Brian told me about HTC and his contracts and selling me stuff.
Excellent phone, much better than the HD7. Brighter, and much better build quality. I want one now!
He also took my name and phone number down, and asked me things like with who I am now and stuff..
I might pick one up. But not sure if I should go with phones4u.
So all in all I don't think they are very bad at phones4u. I went to the leading newest store in manchester and Brian was quite frendly.
If they will start phoning me now than I will tell them where to stick it!
One issue though is that they still try to sell me their androids phones. WTF?? I went in there for the titan. And yet he tried to shove me a sensation down my throat. Discusting!

The titan screen is almost half an inch bigger than the HD7. Similar is subjective. It's a bigger phone. If I want something that big, I'll wait and see if the Galaxy Note comes here, otherwise I'll see what comes to T-Mobile though I may be moving for work so a carrier change may be in order.
I can't do CDMA, though. No Simultaneous V&D rules Verizon and Sprint out for me.

I've been watching ecells listing too. 4 sold, 19 more available. The only reason I haven't bought this yet, Samsung and Nokia. If there weren't any rumors about an Omnia S and Nokia announced their line-up already! I hadn't heard about giffgaff but now! Unlimited internet for £10? Checking it out now!
Why Wont Anyone Upload Pictures Or Videos!!!
Gawd I'm so giddy.
Attached is a panorama mode picture I was sent from twitter.

That photo is very very nice. Thanks for posting. I was thinking about the Samsung and Nokia options too. Thing is I guess much like the first gen phones the specs of all the devices is going to be very similar. I have a couple preferences like large battery and super amoled plus but really I think the titan will stack up well against anything due for release in the next few months..
For those with the titan can you let me know if the speaker matches the omnia7's? Historically HTC speakers are very tinny. The hd7's was very very quiet too.
Thanks

waiting HTC Titan unboxing

OK, I take it back. Went to the store today and the folk were REALLY nice. Had a tour with the device. The screen is awesome sharp, no pixelation obvious. The black levels aren't as great as amoled screens, but not so bad really. Ordered one already!

So... Anyone went ahead and bought a Lumia 800 today?

I'm tempted just because I'm up for an upgrade but I probably won't bother yet.

thanks to nokia excellent marketing, i was also tempted, but then i realised that it just isnt worth it, not for me anyway. i have an omnia 7, and although it has twice the memory and is 400mhz faster, it still hardly he 2nd gen phone i am looking for, even worse, it STILL dosnt have a front facing camera. shameful for a 2nd gen device, especially with skype coming around..... tut tut nokia, although the marketing for it has been excellent and i hope it does really well! but i wont be conned a second time around....

i would have bought it right now if i could move my sms.

No.. I have no money

Maybe we gotta harass the smart folks over in the hacking forum. Seems like it'd be fairly simple to dump/load SMS in homebrew.

i won 1 last week from a dutch tech-website.
have been using it for a week now
Used to have the omnia 7 and i'm still getting used to the smaller display of the Lumia

Turns out Vodafone won't let me early upgrade until the twenty-somethingth, but as I'm still sitting on the fence it will very much depend on how much they value my loyalty (and how much they want to compensate me for perpetually screwing up my bills, because I'm on a price plan that doesn't exist???)
You've got to hand it to Nokia though, they've done a damn good job especially with the advertising, this is EXACTLY what Windows Phone needs. This must have cost them a fair whack though:
WP_000158 by andrewkeith5, on Flickr
Right in the middle of the Bullring in Birmingham...as well as prime positioning in Phones4U and a really very comprehensive campaign.
EDIT: Had I taken that shot from the other side of the centre, you could see it's right outside the Vodafone store, and the two O2 stores, although obviously anything that isn't an iPhone or Blackberry is beyond the comprehension of the O2 store employees...

i bought mine today but not in a shop rather over the phone it is currently in the ukmail depot and will be with me in 8-12 hours

These wave of phones are probably skippable if you have the first gen or you are not locked into a contract.

That's still not a solution for what he wants, not sure why you answered that.
Oh and also a bigger screen is a good reason for not buying this phone, although that's not the debate here.

You know I was going to get an int'l model but I'll wait for the American version. By then the camera issues should have a firmware update and some maturation would've occurred. Elop keeps saying americans would get a different experience. If it involves FFC I'm sold. Period.

So can anyone confirm or deny if it is indeed "Funner", and if so, what on earth that means?!!
Some of the crap that comes out of marketing astounds me!
More seriously, it seems like a really nice phone from having played with it in store, but the small screen, and lack of FFC kill it for me. Hopefully they will pull their finger out and release something akin to the Ace specs that were leaked a while back.

I have had a play with one in store and I am sure this phone will appeal to the youngsters, it looks absolutely beautiful, but for me, at my age, the screen is too small, I will stick with my Titan until Nokia come out with a bigger phone. I really hope the lumia range is successful for the sake of wp7.

CAn you let me know where you got it? I am looking for an unlocked/unbranded devisce but none that i can see so far.
Thanks.

You can buy it unlocked sim-free at Phones4u for £400, how I got it, or at Carphone Warehouse for £470.

Thanks, just talked to rep from phones4u and they sais they only sell PAYG. No good for me. Checked their site and they seem to have the phone there as you say SIM free. I was going to place order now Im not sure as they stated at the side of the site that they prepare all SIM phones to be ready.
As you have one from them can you confirm that it is indeed SIM free and totally unbranded from Phones4U? if it is I will order one right now

Your advice please regarding purchase

I am considering buying the Lumia 900 and moving from android. I have owned windows phones before so have an idea about the os however this more specifically towards the 900 as a phone. I have seen many mixed reports on here. My questions are...
Is it worth getting over the 800 and why
I know it has a few software bugs but so does my gs3 but should this be a deal breaker?
I gather this phone won't get wp8 but is this a big issue again.. Is it really worth waiting for?
I plan to use my phone for music and also the camera... Can anyone comment on the quality of either.
How is the phone to hold in the hand.. Does it sit comfortably or feel like it may slip out.
My previous windows phone was a HTC radar which I really liked however I would like to think things have moved on a bit since then and hence why I am. Looking at the Lumia.
Thanks for your help.

It's very tempting to purchase one now, but I highly recommend waiting, especially if you purchase a phone under a contract 2-year no-upgrade plan.

I'm buying the phone outright as I find the size of my gs3 to big for everyday use.. Contract issues are not a consideration.
Just interested in opinions /views on the phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Hi
I had an SGS2 and the SGS3 did not really appeal to me , So got the Lumia 900 ( I have also had an HTC HD7 windows phone) and was really blown away..
Nokia does the best WP7 phones compared to Samsung or HTC, simply because of the Nokia Apps that are available for the phone and also because nokia is porting most of its symbian apps to wp7.
Things you want miss if coming from android like me..
1) Free turn by turn navigation ( nokia does it for free, HTC charges)
2) Camera is ok although you might have to tweak the settings a bit to squeeze the best out of it ( Nokia is doing another 'camera extras' app to enhance the camera functionality)
3) The CLear Black Amoled display is really good ( like SGS3) even in directs sunlight
4) Battery life as good as the SGS2 ( atleast for me)
5) Most apps are available or you can always pin mobile version of sites to the screen.
6) DLNA will be available via its 'Nokia Play' app next month july.
Downside
1) Its a big phone so if you don't like big phones you might have to pass this
2) No upgrade to WP8 software, only the 'START SCREEN' upto version 7.8
3) Not as many apps as android, but they are coming steadily.
Just a few I can think of....
Let me know if you need to know anything else

Considering the news released today that you won't be upgraded.... F**K Microsoft OS phones, this one in particular. Wait till apollo if you want to not be another beta tester.

Agreed with above poster. With Microsoft's announcement yesterday about no upgrade path to Windows 8 for Lumia 900 and other Windows phones.
It's best to either wait for Windows 8 phones or buy a used phone.

First I would try picking one up in a store to see how it feels in your hand. Having said that when I did that it felt bigger than I was used to and thought it may end up being too big, but now I have one it feels fine.
It's worth getting one over the 800 for two reasons:
1. Much bigger battery which you can make last well into three days on one charge - I even had 100 hours out of one charge when I was hardly using it for a few days.
2. Bigger and better display. The display is the best on any smartphone according to several reviews, and personally I find it easy to read outdoors in sunlight which was a real bugbear on my previous phone. I've also found it easier to use as a satnav with the larger size.
I've found the camera to be better than my previous HTC phone, haven't tried indoor or closeup shots yet though. The main thing I like is that call quality is good, it doesn't drop calls or distort them.
It does have some teething troubles - mine has turned itself off a couple of times, which could get annoying if it keeps happening, and also the battery sometimes starts draining faster for no apparent reason, which is cured by switching it off and on.
As for WP8, in my view it depends on whether you're buying it to use it now or buying it for what you think it ought to be able to do in six months time. I think that WP7 owners will only really be missing out on the better Skype integration that WP8 will bring, most of the rest of WP8's new features seem to require new hardware that the 900 doesn't have anyway. Reading other comments you'd think the phone was going to stop working the day WP8 comes out.

My phones value is falling as fast as NOK Stock

Just checked ebay and the lumia 900's value is just around the same as a Samsung focus, lol. I was looking to unload this one come the fall for a WP8 but it seems that I will have to keep it as my backup phone. Well, I found a useful way of killing time while I wait for WP8 to come around, Ive been engraving on the back of this bad boy. The polycarbonate is great for engraving. Got a nice superman logo done as well as a windows 8 logo. I'll post some pics when I clean the whole thing up.

Dude, all cell-phones values are declining after a short while - those who are patient can buy a cell-phone in a price up to 50% lower than the phone's original launching price, I bet I'm not telling you anything new...

Actually most high-end phones hold resell value very well. I sold my used titan for $350, a used focus after 6 months $400, and a used HD7 for $300. The lumia after two months? You can snag one on eBay for about $200. Yeah all phones depreciate in value. It just so happens that with their announcement about only getting 7.8 made it quicker. I've had 5 window phones and I love the platform but Microsoft sucks when it comes to marketing and revealing products. Why do you think apple announces their new phones only a few weeks before they sell them? Because they don't want their older models to take a huge hit on sales. Oh well, early adopters always get screwed.

Are you talking about the AT&T ones? They're cheaper because they can't be unlocked now.

Yeah check out the Rogers ones or the European ones and see how much they are.

I bought my lumia on craiglist for $300.00 and i though it was a good deal it was in brand new condition, I have been trying to sell it for $200.00 for the past week and no one wants it.

It is funny that anyone who mentioned demand and value would drop after the WP8 announcement were called babies and ridiculed. Many talked about how it didnt matter to the masses and how they would sell the device for a decent price when WP8 came out. Maybe its just a coincidence the demand dropped? Lol

That's ridiculous - of course the Lumia 900's value would drop after the WP8 announcement (it didn't drop THAT much, though - from 700$ for an unlocked device on eBay it dropped to 550$), as the Galaxy S2 price dropped when the S3 was announced...
Point is that they won't start giving those Lumia 900s for free - their price dropped, thats for sure - but they won't become obsolete.

Well Nokia/AT&T paid me $1 for my L900 ($99 - $100 = $1-) so I have no complaints. When I get itch for a new WP8 next Spring I will apply the $199 I should have paid for this phone, another $199 for the phone, plus another $100 for my backup Surround, w/accessories when I sell it (just got over $100 for my Tilt2). $500 should get me a nice phone. And another upgrade in Jan 2014.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express Pro

happens all the time. look at iphones they also lost value not as bad as nokia but from what I've seen now 4s going rate is around $350-400 for 16gb model. Unlocked ones go for more. Happens all the time. Also one thing I noticed from iphones is that its better to keep the phone a bit longer and let the dust settle down when new phone comes out. Usually first week upgraders are lucky to snag new iphone and keep driving prices of previous version down in order to dump them fast. After a while it actually levels off and with release of unlock and jailbreak value goes up a bit.
Once ATT releases unlock codes for lumia 900s they will go up a price a bit as that opens up a different market. But overall all phones drop in price as time passes. early adapters move on to the next phones etc.

I'd be all over a Lumia 900 if the AT&T models could be unlocked, though all the unlocked ones are kind of over priced.

I'm worried about my HTC M9, can anyone shed some light?

Hi all, I pre-ordered my M9 last night and have been very excited. Unfortunately I came home to see a lot of reports regarding the phones issues.
Overheating, battery life, and saying the phone isn't overheating but it scores like 10K less in benchmarks doesn't really
seem like a 'fix' to me.
Can anyone rekindle my love for this phone before I cancel my order, I really don't want to have to buy an S6 instead.

Benchmarks are just numbers. What difference would it make if the phone scored 100k? As long as the UI is fluid and provides a great experience. With my HTC One M8 I underclocked my CPU from 2.3GHz to 1.7GHz. And guess what? No difference in fluidity in everyday use but a bit of extra battery life.
Remember, numbers are not everything.

Overheating has been solved with a firmware update. This should also solve the battery life a bit, but I don't know how much.

Don't worry about the overheating. Problem solved there. Only overheating I experienced was during cache rebuilt after FOTA Update. Even that's addressed now. Benchmarks do not mirror real-world use. You will not be sorry. I will be, when I have to give my test device back to HTC.

To answer your question, Yes I am in the UK

I got mine yesterday from o2 germany. So brilliant this Device. The best piece of Hardware i've ever had in my hands
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app

I received an email saying phone is ready for collection from my chosen O2 store.
Then in store I got told there was an error and they will not release it until 31st.
Not happy with O2 UK....

Congratulations to your new phone! Can you please do some testing (taking pictures) and tell us / me, what you think of the camera! Please!

Same here but feeling better now the reports are better since the OTA update.
Mine arrives tomorrow thanks to CPW UK pre-order

I got an email the same as you, waited all day for delivery, no show, contacted O2 they told me to drive to the depot and collect it. I drove for 45 mins there and back in the dark. Turns out it wasn't even there.
Really angry about it. Some people actually got theirs though, some woman from O2 rang the courier and told them to send my phone back to their warehouse. It will be resent on the 31st. BS

so the m9 is really better the the lagy lg g flex 2???
what about the speaker sound is it better than old m8??

I would say no comparison between new Dolby Audio soft with new hardware and ordinary BoomSound..

got my m9 yesterday, and I must say it's amazing. You must know, I'm comming from S3 and never used an HTC device before. It's so smooth and lag free, so far. And that hardware feeling so luxury. Great device.
But still I'm somehow angry, cos they underclocked the CPU to 1.56Ghz

I wouldn't worry about that, I'd say its temporary until they get their heads around the new soc, I cant wait to get mine.

All the underclock is doing to mine is making games slow and the phone cool, and general use, the phone is hot lol.
