I am drooling awaiting the New HTC Titan. Here's the HTC Site:
HTC TITAN Product Overview - HTC Smartphones

Here's the phone scoop review.
Hands-On: HTC Titan and Radar WP7 Mango Phones (Phone Scoop)

Can we get a forum under Windows Phone 7 HTC devices for this NEW Titan?

Thanks.

Looks great, but I've got long, fat fingers so I really need a slider with Keyboard.

Looks like a sweet phone but, 4.7" display, OMG almost tablet field here. Just wondering if that is too big for daily use (holding, in your pocket, etc) but, I'd have to hold it and play with it to be sure.

Your on Verizon, I hope you plan on changing carriers if you want this one, because last I read this is a GSM based phone and heading to AT&T.

If you want them to create a new fourm about, you should post about it here...

Same here but, going from a 3.8" to a 4.7" might help that a bit, if no good sliders with keyboards come out.

I thought about the larger screen being a little friendlier to my fingers. I can usually get by well enough when I turn the Arrive on it's side and the larger keys present themselves. It's always when I am trying to use it in it's normal orientation that my fingers don't want to hit the right key. I'm not really sure how much bigger Length/Width wise a .9in Diagonal truly is but maybe it really could make the difference. It's been a few years since I did real Calculus and Geometry.

Edit:
OK, found a simple calculator online. Assuming 16:9 aspect: 3.8= 3.31w x 1.86h 4.7= 4.09w x 2.03h (Inches)

Imagine it laying on it's side and it might just work.

It is no larger than the HD7 in my understanding. Just more screen real estate. It's in the Phone Scoop review.

I might change carriers, but I thought it was on CDMA (Verizon) networks too.

I love my HTC TP2, and the slider keyboard. But I may not be able to get that feature in the next one...

I was just looking at the HTC page on this phone and find where it'll work on WCDMA. So WCDMA isn't the same or close enough to CDMA for it work on the Verizon network?????

No, I looked into this a few years ago for another phone. I believe W-CDMA is the japanese standard and no they will not work

Are there any other large screen (ultra powerful) smart phones that'll work on the Verizon Network. Would prefer to stick with a Windows OS but at this point, will have to consider others.

I think the rumor is that Verizon will be getting a high end Nokia WP7 device, so I'd wait for that.

Any idea when this will happen?

Really I just want a good WP7 phone on Verizon. I dont really want to switch carriers but the wait for a good phone is killing me. I had the Touch Pro 2 and loved and then it broke and the replacement was an Imagio....which is horrible. I have been eligible and waiting for a good WP7 phone to upgrade to since May.....
