I am a bit disappointed from the camera performance from the reviews myself, but I realize that Nokia has no say in the camera software processing at this point. Nokia has always had the best camera phones because the phones ran Nokia's OS (Symbian). They were in control of all the post-processing. That is why the 41 MP giant PureView 808 is running Symbian and not WP - because Nokia has control of the software.
I have the N8, the second best cameraphone to the 808, and I plan to keep it around as my digital camera. The shooter on the Lumia 900 is good enough for me, and I am sure I can use the Creative Suite from Nokia to fix up photos that are less-than-stellar.
If the camera is what is deterring you from this phone, then so be it. I guarantee the Titan II will have a much worse display (being so large + low res + LCD) but to his/her their own.
Much worse display? Have you seen the Titan's screen at all or just assuming it sucks? WP Central's review of the Titan says "The Titan's screen quality definitely will hold its own up against the Super AMOLED screens and is of better quality than the Super LCD screen of the HD7S. There seems to be a touch more contrast, brightness and color saturation with the Titan's screen when compared to other HTC Windows Phones which helps the Titan's performance indoors and outdoors."
"The screen quality is up there with the Super AMOLED screens and the screen size makes games/videos a little more enjoyable. Pictures seem to have more "pop" with the larger display, text is easier to read, and you have more real estate to view webpages."
I came from the SAMOLED screen of the Focus and have no issues with the Titan's screen even though I was worried I would. And I thought it was much better that the SAMOLED+ screen on the Focus S that had terrible ghosting, way too oversaturated, and occasional flashing horizontal lines. Yes Nokia's ClearBlack display looks better, the black are deep and it looks great BUT on it's own the Titan's screen is pretty good.
Screen size is subjective to the user and just because a screen is bigger doesn't mean it's worse. To me a smaller 4.3" screen is "worse". And "Low res"... just as low as the 900 and every other Windows phone. I think you mean low PPI, which is another story (and is probably only noticeable if you go looking for it). The Titan's screen doesn't look bad at all, and since this is the case the larger size is more important to me.
Nokia may not have full control of software camera processing but they do get some room to get creative if they wanted. Look at HTC who offers burst and panoramic modes built into the camera app. And I would argue that Nokia's issue is not a software one at all. You can't say it's the software's fault that Nokia didn't include a BSI on their camera that would increase performance in low-light settings.
what is dude talking about titan 2 specs dude its the same phone practically as the first titan just 16meg camera and that extra chip for the processing of raw picture and add lte so *********ing what homie the lumia brings a fresh design the last time something fresh came on the scene it was a iphone and then everyone started with the slabs now watch if this is successful the future sammy fanny phones will be coming in cyan and have the same shape as the lumia's its funny all android phones are like robots that replicate itself over and over and over again the same look same design just stuffs its guts with more chips and chips and more quads of chips and saucccccce,. folks run and by those galaxy phones and they are just bigger versions of the old one with more chips in the inside same design humps on the back and all kinds of shizzles.... freakin robot replicating itself getting cheaper with each release of a new phone. anyone see the old turd bag from the wallstreet j do his deal he dissed the lumia saying even low budget androids are better get the f**K out of here maannn take all those blogs and throw it on the ground........whew
Yes the Titan II is just the Titan with a 16mp camera, LTE, and a larger battery. I said that I believe the specs of the TII are better than the Lumia 900 because of the faster clocked processor, the larger screen (yes it's not ClearBlack but TO ME the larger screen is a better spec), and a comparison of cameras is yet to be seen but possibly a better camera. All the other specs (RAM, storage) are even. I wasn't talking about design, I was talking about specs. No one is denying the Lumia's have a unique and sexy design.
