After Nokia World here are my thoughts:
Focus S:I currently have a GS2 so this phone should be familiar to me immediately, the screen is great in terms of quality and size, the camera is great, has a FFC, 16gb, Battery is good, near perfect phone tbh, while its a pretty nice looking phone, here is my main problem, it feels cheap, cheap, cheap! It is lightweight and that's ok, but the plastic just feels cheap and I hate the backing, beyond that fantastic phone.
Titan:Gotta say its quite the looker! Not to mention it has that HTC build quality which rarely fails, 16gb, FFC, Great Battery, Great Camera ESPECIALLY by HTC standards, this phone fixes my cheap feeling issue with the Focus S but possibly brings in a new problem to replace it, whats the problem? Possibly its biggest selling point. The Screen, now its not the SLCD as it has proven to be even better then HTC's other SLCDs which were great as is, is it the size? Not quite but it remains to be seen if its TOO big in person, so whats the problem? The Resolution, it retains the same res that every other WP and most android phones have, combine that with a 4.7' display and the Pixel Density suffers, comparing it to an iPhone for or 800, you will notice the difference. Other then that the phone seems to be near perfect, just as the Focus S!
And Finally we have the 800/SeaRay/Lumia:So here we have a great Design, good Proc, 16gb, Fantasic Camera, great build quality, but here comes my 2 problems with the 800, The screen while Clearblack Amoled which has proven to be on par and maybe even better then Super Amoled, is only 3.7', now the Pixel Density will benefit from this unlike the Titan, its a little small by today's standards, a 4' on this device would have been perfect like its cousin the N9, The Focus S might be the sweet spot. Having a GS2, Im not sure I can go back to 3.7", 4"? sure but 3.7..., then we have no FFC, I mean.....seriously? With Skype coming up its a major WTF on Nokia's part, really baffling, I know people will defend it saying FFC is not really needed and most dont use it, but just remember that is YOU, not everyone is the same. Other then that it is great looking, great camera, great build but I think 3.7 is too small for me. Another issue is that it wont be coming to US as of now and to import will be a lot of money surely as its a Nokia phone.
So as it stands Its gotta be between the Titan and Focus S for me, as I said the Focus S is near perfect, if it has an HTC or Nokia Build quality, I we wouldn't even be having this conversation, unfortunately though it doesn't, then we have the Titan but without seeing it in person, I cant really say if its too big for me or if the Pixel Density is noticeable. And as far as the 800, it looks great but with a 3.7' screen, not US and no FFC, and most likely a high price unlocked, I'll have to pass. Whichever I get though its mainly about the OS as I really want WP, but we all want nice hardware as well.
