    @airhis: I guess we all know how much "THIRD PARTY APPS " and "FLASH" is available for n97 :).

      Anonymous, 11 Dec 2011Average hw with poor OS. Next. Tell any phone that is better than this phone in terms of hardware - none.

      No doubt, the best WP you can buy at the moment.

              No system-wide file manager
              Non-expandable memory
              No Bluetooth file transfers
              No USB mass storage mode
              Limited third-party apps availability
              No Flash (nor Silverlight) support in the browser
              Too dependent on Zune software for file management and syncing
              No DivX/XviD video support (automatic transcoding provided by Zune software, but lowers quality)

              my n97mini has all this plz elop give me one reason why i should use a wp7 phone

                  Yes AMOLED provides better contrasts but as I said the Titan gives more natural colors.As for viewing angles,they're pretty much the same on both devices

                    Think why Samsung switches to OLED(Amoled) when they manufacture both S-LCD and OLED.

                      Finally some decent WP!
                      I wouldn't go for any Window phones at the moment before M$ gets really seriously about their mobile os business, but if i need to choose one then this is the one that i will choose.

                      I have the review from Engadget and this one beats hell out of every WP in terms of battery life, performance benchmarks and so one. However, as usual, they conclude somehow the quality is mediocre at the best which is contrary to their results! and it sounds a bit biased to me.

                      so, it's good to see GSMArena does write a review that doesn't cling to one particular brand.

                        "It stands out with a bigger 4.7” screen and metal clad body. Keep in mind, however, that 4.7” display with WVGA resolution is not the prettiest sight around. And the Titan screen lacks the contrast and viewing angles of the Focus S Super AMOLED Plus unit."

                        It seems you guys didn't rven compare the 2. check this vid
                        http://www.wpcentral.com/screen-comparison-samsung-focus-s-and-htc-titan
                        As you see Titan has better viewing angles and more natural colors.

                          Hey, the browser does support text reflow! Just double tap on the column of text you wanna read and it fits text to the screen.

Only because GSM Arena hasn't figured that out yet, doesn't mean Windows Phone 7 can't do it.

                            Basically, you can use any mp3 file. Set its category to Ringtone, then drag and drop within the Zune software on your computer.

                              With the "hacked" Nokia Drive... this is a much better choice than the too expensive Lumia!

                                "What’s missing is the ability to set any song from your collection as a ringtone – a feature some of you might miss. You can download new ringtones from the Marketplace though (possibly at some cost though)."

                                Unbelievable....Come on, this is 2011 !
