- I've spent an unhealthy amount of time over the past few days comparing the Titan and the Focus S.
I've been to 3 different AT&T stores; one did not have the Titan, others would only let me handle the demo unit, which was attached to the security apparatus.
So...I haven't really been able to get a good feel for the device. I have been able to use the Focus S, though; and it felt good.
My question: how many Titan owners are comfortably using (browsing, typing, volume, on/off) the phone with one hand?

I have large hands with long fingers and I find it a chore to reach the power button. Im worried im going to drop this thing.11-25-2011 10:52 PMLike 0

I'm often using my phone (original Focus) while walking my dog, and there are always interruptions that cause me to turn the phone on and off.11-25-2011 11:02 PMLike 0 - The power button is a bit awkward. It's so flush it takes some extra pressure to push. I turn it off and on with one hand but I do have to shift my hand somewhat to press it. The back does not have a lot of grip. That being said, I hav'nt had any slips or close calls.11-25-2011 11:11 PMLike 0
- I've had no issues using the phone with one hand but if I'm using any phone for a length of time I'll switch to 2 hands. Quicky checking email, messages etc is easily done with one hand.
I do understand that people are afraid of dropping it though, I do find the cover provides very little grip, and is one of my 2 negatives (although it looks stunning). I ordered a gel cover from Amazon which fits snuggly over it and provides the grip I need.11-26-2011 11:20 AMLike 0 - I've had no issues using the phone with one hand but if I'm using any phone for a length of time I'll switch to 2 hands.

- Nope, I cannot use this phone effectively one handed but I do have small hands for a guy. There's actually some women in my office who have bigger hands than me and they're like 5'6". I'm a 6' guy.
Truth be told my Titan is going up on eBay today as I just cannot get to grips with this phone at all - literally. I am in constant fear of dropping it and just don't find it as intuitive to navigate around as my focus due to its size. It just feels 'wrong' in my hand. :(
I do make decisions quickly about devices and am very rarely wrong so there just doesn't seem a lot of point in using it for a week and hoping the issue will magicaly get better. I also don't want to risk damaging it in any way.
Don't get me wrong, it's not the phone, it's me. I love the phone very much but honestly there's no point if it's not comfortable to use. I'm going to sell it, keep using my Focus and wait for the next Nokia devices to land.
I'm really holding out for a 4.3" device - that seems to be my sweet spot.12-09-2011 11:01 AMLike 0 - HeyCoriMod EmeritusNope, I cannot use this phone effectively one handed but I do have small hands for a guy.

- I do not have huge hands but I do have large hands with long fingers. I use my Titan constantly one-handed. There are times that I will hold it with one hand and scroll with the other though.
I was very concerned about the size of this device but it was unwarranted. I also do not have any issues hitting the power button while using it one-handed. I guess it is a case of YMMV.12-10-2011 03:39 PMLike 0
