I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask questions on choosing WP 7 phone. Currently i'm using SGS II since the launch and with Mango update it looks nice and I wanted to try WP7. Was wondering will there be any other new device other than HTC Titan and Nokia Lumia 800? I'm on one click away from getting HTC Titan. Is that the best WP7 phone available now? Nokia Lumia 800 design is sexy for me but no front facing cam making me back off from getting it. Is HTC Titan worth the buy?

If you like WP7(as you haven tried, go and try it out first?) and huge screen, HTC TITAN seems to be your only and best choice.

If you like big screen(like your S2) but not huge(4.7'' of TITAN), then you better wait for Nokia/Samsung and see if their rumored 4.3'' devices coming out anytime soon.

I played before when HTC HD7 launched last year but seems a lil too simple and missing too many key features. But since the Mango update it looks much more better. Huge screen is not a problem to me ( I need huge screen. lol).
I like the Samsung Focus S but only in US doh.gif
Will there be new Samsung device for WP7? I love the NL 800 design but 3.7" and no front facing camera is a huge let down for me. Sigh, looks like I will go for Titan then.

you will soon regret getting this Titan for 1week time because there is not many application can satisfied you as you are coming from android  laugh.gif  laugh.gif 

the best navigation so far is Turn by turn, i've bought this app for $6.99 , but they do offer Offline version that you can download the map and navigate offline.
*
LOL.. that's true but i still like the OS. 90% apps on my SGS II nvr been used after using it for a day. laugh.gif
i dl turn by turn on trial but Nokia said that their maps and navigation will be released to all WP7 devices for free ! Hope is true. hmm.gif

Next one is I cant set custom ringtone on message or any notification without sideloading my phone, rite? cool2.gif

perhaps you should check 1st page 3rd post about how to create custom ringtone on WP7.

and like monsh said, only ringtone can customized.

The ringtone part I know how to do it. Just the message and email. Need to explore more and spend more money. LOL..
