Over at AT&T you’ve got two giant choices for hero phones if you want to run with
Windows Phone Mango – the
Nokia Lumia 900 and the
HTC Titan II. Your choices will be based on what you like the phone’s hardware to look like, how nice the camera is, and how fabulous the software runs on either device.

Hardware
HTC has never had trouble delivering a fabulous looking smartphone when they’ve been on point – and 2012 has proven several times already that this is a year when this king of hardware is going to be bringing the heat all across the board. HTC’s Titan II takes the great hardware points that were live in the first Titan device and increases them from top to bottom. There’s a gigantic 4.7-inch S-LCD on the front, the soft plastic on the front has one cover on it with some excellent patterning for grip and easy usability, and the camera on the back is better than any other Windows Phone released thus far.
This device feels great to hold, looks great, and is as responsive and intuitive as any Windows Phone, great or small, released thus far. The front of this device also has a bit of an “HTC lip” at the bottom where your finger will rest to tap one of the three Windows Phone menu buttons – this added bit makes the whole smartphone seem that much more high class. Curved glass has an extremely favorable effect on the brain when it comes to judging the quality of a smartphone, and this is no exception.

HTC One series released this year for
