I have a 1GHz single core android phone which scores around 70000+ in Browsermark and around 2000 in SunSpider (lower is better in SunSpider)

                      How can you say the titan 2 has a generic design because it looks similar to other HTC devices? The Lumia 900 is an exact replica of the n9 and the lumia 800.

                        this sunspider score is tragic comparing to the same hardware HTCsensation XL, Android is 2-3 times faster in web browser. And applications starts slower but because of animations you don't see that. bye bye slow WP

                            just in first words of an article it is obvious that you like nokia better, but do not forget that nokia has very low max brightness of screen, jut 173,5 nits and very delicate rear shiny element (iPhone has whole back shiny so that's why it is selling so good)

                              I could buy both, but I think I'm going to choose Lumia. It has much better design, even display is maybe too small. I have now iPhone4 and I really want a bigger display.

                                Well..just quite disappointing!! 16mp and so crappy quality???so much LOW sharpness!very low dynamic range! noise and croma noise purple fringing and generally htc titan's II samples look like 3 or 5 megapixels! even the n82 produce much better pics thanks to the high quality Carl Zeiss optics! htc for sure choce very cheap optics and that's for shame! 16mp market logo is only on words!!! that's such a pitty!!

                                  You forgot to mention the best part with the Lumia-phone; free navigation and free music. Does that also come with the HTC? NO.

                                    i'm very interested in getting WP but what hold me back is the lack of arabic language and recently i found out based on the reviews that the battery sucks big time ... i wish if GSmarena will post the battery test of HTC Titan 1

                                      the still photo quality is way better on the Titan II... just look at the photo samples!

                                        "The dynamic range is pretty great though and it's probably the strongest argument in favor of the Nokia WP flagship as most cameraphones suffer from reduced dynamic range."

                                        I have to disagree on this because the sample pics, when there's more light on them, are just more underexposed. Otherwise the highlights would have been blow out as expected from a tiny pixel sensor.
                                        And a real measuring scale on dynamic range ala dpreview would show that clearly.
