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.

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!
Does anyone want to post up some first impressions on their ATT titans!?
My local store didn't receive any. And from reading elsewhere online, a LOT of stores didn't receive them. Many are saying they're expecting them tomorrow (Monday) or later. A lot of stores didn't even know what it was.
None to be found in Central Florida.Same story , the store reps don't have a clue about anything. Very dissapointed
None of my local stores (Louisville, KY) received them.
I checked two stores, one told me that there was a problem with the shipping, and it wouldn't be until Monday, the other had no idea what I was talking about. Both had to look in their systems to know what the phone was. Very disappointing experience. Not so much that the phone was delayed, but in the absolute lack of knowledge of the phone itself.
I've been reading all over the same, which is bad because at&t is an official launch partner....
I got the only one in Gainesville, FL on Sunday. The rep who sold it to me was really great and positive about Windows Phone. I hope he has a week free of jerk customers. Also between the two stores I went to and three people I talked to, everyone knew what the Titan was immediately.
4.7". Hmmm...if the size keeps increasing, forget about pocket carrying, down the line there will be accessories such as trailers for hauling it around.
This reminds me of the Schick vs. Gillette rivalry. One comes out with 2 blade razors, the other, 3 blades. Then the first one puts out one with 4 blades. Now the other puts out 5 blades. Eventually the razor head will be so big it will require an exoskeleton suit to use it.

Bah they have been shrinking, I've still have an HTC Advantage laying around and taking up a ton of space.
I live in Bellingham, Wa. and the Titan wasn't at my local AT&T store on it's release day either. When I went into the store and inquired about the Titan, the salesman had no idea what I was talking about. He didn't know that the phone existed until he went on the web. It's pretty pathetic. These guys/gals are supposed to be PHONE salesmen, but whenever I go into an ATT store I feel that they are Android/Apple reps in AT&T uniforms. When you ask about a Windows phone, they always give you a look like "Seriously, why do you want a Windows Phone?" and will try to persuade you to go either Apple or Android. They all claim that they've had multiple phones including Windows 7 phones, but it's obvious that they haven't. I know this because they never take you to a Windows phone to show off it's strengths. They just talk, talk, talk, about Android's customization abilities OR how Apple originated this and that, and how Android copied. I don't need their help to decide because I do a lot of research before making a phone purchase. Just give me the phone so I can go explore my Titan!!!
I went to look at it yesterday at my local store. The store manager knew exactly what I was asking about but told me that the shipment was delayed until Monday (today). So, I stopped by on my way in to work and get a good look at and feel of the Titan.
IMO, too big and too unoriginal. It just looks like a larger Inspire to me. Now, we all know that style is a personal thing, and not something that can be stated as fact. Unless we talk about the Pontiac Aztec, which is universally ugly. I will keep my Focus S(I know it looks just like the Galaxy S II, but I like it better!).

Some people are compelled to buy ugly things. Strange how it is but it seems to be a reverse psychology thing. A beautiful product from the beginning tends to become old and tired looking in a few years while a strange looking product tends to hold some form of interest much longer. A genuinely ugly product, like the Aztec or the Buick counterpart for example, will remain ugly.
Hey all
Along with many other manufacturers, Asus has thrown its latest smartwatch into the wild. On the face of it the device looks sleek, with a leather strap rather than the plastic ones we're seeing with a lot of other smartwatches. Its expected to be around the 200 Euro mark, and although not as fully featured as devices such as the Samsung Gear S, the price point seems about right for the feature set and specifications. Has Asus done enough to tempt anybody?
I've had an LG for about 2 months.. yeah i think i'll sell it and go the zenwatch
I was going to but I got impatient and I went with the G Watch. so far I am very pleased with it.
Really liked this watch in pics but they were taking too long. So I got a 360.

I love it. Convenient to just glance at your wrist to see info instead of having to pull out your phone. And the abundance of custom faces keeps it exciting because you can have a different look everyday.
I'm really struggling with myself not to get a LG G Watch or Moto 360 - How the struggle ends, depends on when Asus start shipping. I've preordered the Zenwatch at expansys, but the news that there'll be only 300 released in the first batch has dampened my high hopes....

I can't see Asus only releasing 300 in the first batch. That would be a joke. I'm sure they have 300 already that are being used as demo devices.
The article in question is this one: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/asus-zenwatch-limited-release/

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for too. A batch of 300 just wouldn't make sense. Unless they are completely hand crafted, making 300 or 300.000 should really make no difference, once you can assemble a single one. For my peace of mind, I'll stick to the theory that 300 units is bull poo.
Ive preordered one but disappointed about the only 300 rumour and not likely in volume before 2015. Come on asus, get them out there...

Unless there's a shortage of components. Seeing as most of these watches appear to have the same innards that could be an issue?
300 does seem to be deliberately contrary though! Might cancel my pre-order and get the new Microsoft watch instead, just to spite any manufaturers trying to play the market.
No updates though?

Oh - I just jizzed in my pants! Looks legit: http://shop.asus.co.jp/teaser/
This will be the first product I buy new in many, many years. For a long time now, I've always bought second-hand. But I want this watch so much I will be buying it as soon as it becomes available. Originally, I thought I would be buying the Apple Watch, but once again the greedy ****s have priced their product beyond reasonable. That, and I don't have an iPhone anymore (no big loss).
I actually have a Moto 360 on the way because I got tired of waiting. As soon as I can get my hands on the ZenWatch, I'll sell the 360.
I'd actually wait in a line to buy this watch.
I think I'm gonna pick this watch up along with a gear s when ever that is released
Looks like it's being released today in Japan. Anybody know if the Zen can make voice calls?
More like "late November" as far as i can tell.
http://shop.asus.co.jp/zenfone/#Zenwatch
Yeah, well the 300 number was right, for the price anyway:
"ASUS is October 28, has announced it will launch Android Wear equipped with smart watch "ASUS ZenWatch" the (WI500Q-BR04) in late November. Assumed actual sales price 29,800 yen (tax not included)."

Very odd announcement from Lenovo exec about when Motorola would release the 2nd gen of Moto 360, looks to be in early 2015...if this is true, I am hoping they at least fix the crack issue.
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/131...ation-smartwatch-could-arrive-early-next-year
If this is true I guess I will be waiting for the 2nd gen then. I was about to pull the trigger to get a 1st gen.

It's a losing battle keeping up with technology and gadgets.
Although this may be true, I highly doubt it would be as early as January (CES). I mean, this model just went on sale in September. Also, Lenovo officially took over Motorola not even a whole month ago. I would think he probably means first half of 2015, which could mean May or June 2015. But, obviously, this is all speculation.
I was waiting for a moto 360/cognac...may be prudent to wait a little longer until there is more information...it looks like the Motorola group is always looking to improve the models; possibility of a refresh, keeping the same form/shell, changing certain things like ambient sensor, more robust back, etc. Either way, tech always evolves.
Sent from my XT1095 using XDA Free mobile app
I really hope it won't be released too early...I just got mine for barely a month.
This could also be good news in a way.. The more revisions that are released the sooner they will stop selling/producing the original 360. So higher chance if you got the Best buy protection plan, that theyll give you the newer model if yours gets damaged
I dunno, execs make stupid comments like this all the time not recognizing how people will interpret them. They spent something like 2+ years developing this thing, and ran into so many technical limitations they had to use the flat tire look, and now suddenly all of that has been resolved? Has pricing come down in snapdragon processors so much that they can incorporate a new cpu? The industry doesnt just shift like that. My guess is his definition of "2nd gen" is probably something stupid, and is just typical marketing speak from people used to bull****ting and hyping everything all the time.

Very possible. Though, as a device developer myself, when I send out iterations of a current gen though, I am already working on the next iteration whether it be a facelift/retrofit, or a second gen altogether; so from an engineering perspective, it is also possible that they had come up with a solution for ambient light a month after sending final specs for manufacturing the first iteration (which has happened to me similarly). Since other android wear makers were not as limited on budgets as Motorola (word is that Google really didn't properly fund them), they were able to come up with similar sized watches with 'better specs'...if Lenovo budgets them correctly, they might have already had a solution for all of this, but not the money...I really love the design of this watch though, and hopefully there is more tangible information on the second version soon. Even in its current iteration, it is a very compelling purchase; I have not been this interested in a device in a long while.
Will I wait?
I saw yesterday that the second version of the moto 360 may be out soon. This feels like a marketing blunder as I can't be the only person now thinking I'll wait
Meh, if it happens and they improve the cracking back, remove the flat spot on screen, and throw in a speaker I'll probably go for it.
I bet we can get at least $150 for the OG model so upgrade $$ shouldn't be that bad...

If you think at what release date Motorola said for the first version and what was the final date you can then believe we will see the 2nd version in 2016.

Any news?
I think that the news saying that the 2nd gen Moto 360 was more of a unbased rumor. We probably won't hear until August of 2015.
I wonder if this was in reference to the gold and slim band versions? I'm ready to pull the trigger on one off of Amazon but these rumors are making me hold my wallet back.

I think a rumor about a v2 moto 360 is way off. Officially it is out for about 4 months now and its considered to be one of the best (if not THE best) choices among Android Wear smartwatches so there is absolutely no reason for moto to show an early v2 of it. I will probably get it next month or early March after HTC`s event. The weird part is that we know we are getting the old processor, the smaller battery, the flat tire display but we still prefer it over LG R. It is just too beautiful to pass.

Good points.
Yeah, the hardware may be "dated" but it does the job. If that's what Motorola had to do to meet an affordable price point, then kudos to them.
Granted, I'm not a spec whore. All I care about is does it do what I want and is it quality. For the most part, the answer to those questions is "yes", fully realizing that Android Wear is arguably still Beta.

Moto 360 2nd gen release date
can anyone tell me the release date of 2nd gen Moto 360.
According to this article weararena, the smartwatch release this year, but do not give the time frame.
Until I see a link to a reliable source, I don't believe any "I heard from dis guy who knows a guy" posts.
The first gen is still relatively new with long term kinks not yet discovered.
The Moto 360 was released in September of 2014. We're in almost June of 2015. Am I too late to buy the Moto 360? What I mean by that is: Should I hold out for v2?
Originally, I was on the pre-order list due to my excitement. But I voluntarily left due to some financial challenges that came my way. Now that I have spending money again I'm exploring the possibility of getting the Moto 360.
I should say that I am by no means a professional developer. But I am a huge wrist watch fan. I own several Nixon, Citizen, Fossil, and a Rolex. Will I get the same wow factor out of this watch when I wear it? Will I find it useful in my every day life? Mainly work and family life.
I've also missed some really good deals, including when Radioshack sold them for $100!
Your opinion on this matter would be most appreciated. Thank you.
I think you should wait but then again the prices have dropped for the current version so it just depends on you ultimately...
If you are low on funds, just get the 360.
If you can afford to pay full price and tax for a new one, it'll be worth waiting until at least Google IO to see what releases. Things have changed now that the potential new 360 might have just passed BT certification.
I got mine a few weeks ago, and it looks and functions very well. Should you wait for the second gen? A wise man might wait for a release date on the second gen, then buy the first gen in time to return it if you really want the second. Reviews might be out by then too, which might help you decide.
Will it wow you? I have never worn a watch for more than two days in my life. Now I never leave home without it. For that reason alone I say it might. If it can turn me into a watch wearer, it's a solid product.
I never try and justify my purchases; if the product blows then it blows. The Moto 360 is good kit. As always, YMMV.
Both. .
At this point its worth waiting, which is what I decided to do.
I like that idea actually. Buy the first gen and try it out, if I don't like it I can return it (within the terms of return) for a refund and put it towards the second gen. Thank you!

Get the first gen at the best discount you can get it. Value for money is even better for a first gen at $130 or so versus a second gen at $250+. But you may want to wait to see if the 5.1 update with Wi-Fi and always-on screen still allows one full day of battery life (which I kind of doubt). If the new features are almost unusable due to battery drain, you may want to wait for the second gen. If the new update also comes with battery life improvements from Motorola then I suspect the first gen will be again in high demand
Like Steve Jobs once said: "it's the software, stupid !"
I just got one yesterday, with clubcard boost. If you want it now, get it. I don't get this hanging around malarchy, there's always new tech around the corner.
I would check to see if there are any Radio shacks in the second wave of closing - I picked up my 360 for $125, and they just received a few more that day (no idea why a closing store is receiving expensive product, but......). For full price, it was iffy. For close to $100, it was a no brainer...
I would wait for v2. Mine was already two times in repair because of the cracked back so unfortunatley I will have to sell it and wait for new 360.

Where did you manage to find it at 130$?

I'd wait. I picked mine up a month ago. I love it, wear it everyday, but I wish I would have held off. Watch + screen protector + BB insurance = cost of 2nd gen.. Kinda depends if your budget.

I grabbed one 4 days ago. You can easily find them at $179 and occasionally at $130. At that reduced price it's ok to grab one now IMO. v2 may or maynot come out soon but this is a capable watch that has shown to hold up well.
If you get it from Amazon you'll have 30 days to decide if it's right for you.

cost of v2 + screen protector + BB insurance = way more than what you spent
Kinda curious how you know the cost of v2 anyhow share
Just remember, the v2 will be running the same Android Wear software as the current Moto360. I'm sure the new device will be faster, have a better screen, and a better battery life. But I doubt it'll change your life any more than the current 360 would. I got a great deal on mine at roughly $100, and for that it's great. For $100 it's worth it to me just to be able to stream music to my BT headphones when I'm jogging. But otherwise I consider Android Wear a little awkward. The Google Now notifications are pretty poorly managed, "tilt to wake" doesn't work well enough, the whole user experience of Android Wear is poor, and I'm constantly nervous about using features that will drain the battery. If I bought this thing at full price then I'd be disappointed with it, but at $100 it's a fun toy. I believe it's still the best looking smart watch on the market, so I enjoy wearing it.
I wanted to buy even with the imminent v2. The $150 price at Best Buy helped me make my decision as was the ability to get it with the Cognac strap.
wait google io
Moto 360... $135.00!!
Best Buy has $100 off Moto 360 making the leather strap version $149.99 and the steel one $199.99. Add to this the USPS "movers" coupon (free at the post office with no registration required!) and you can pick up the leather for $135 or the steel for $180!
