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

As you see Titan has better viewing angles and more natural colors.

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 !
Welcome back to 1990's with Windows phones
