The camera on the Titan shocked me.
This has traditionally been a very weak point for HTC phones -- very, very weak -- but the 8-megapixel camera on the Titan captures terrific still images. The color and clarity in photos taken by the Titan is on par with the likes of Zeiss-equipped Nokia handsets and the iPhone 4S, and future Titan owners can plan to ditch their point-and-shoot cameras. It also captures high-quality 720p HD video content, though the lack of an HDMI-out port or even an adapter is something of a disappointment.
Finally, Windows Phone still provides what, in my opinion, is the hands-down best e-mail experience on any mobile platform. The UI in the e-mail app is gorgeous and lightning fast, and it's simple to drill down to unread items, urgent items or flagged items with a quick flick. On the Titan, the humongous display makes things even better.
Productivity is the same story. Microsoft's mobile Office suite is a joy to use for creating and editing Word documents or Excel spreadsheets, and the SkyDrive integration provides easy access to remote files to ensure that the same documents are available on your phone and your computer.
