The Titan 2's bright screen shows colors beautifully, but the 800-by-480-pixel resolution is low compared with the 1280-by-720-pixel resolution on other phones with similar-size screens. This means that text and images look comparatively blurry at times. Certain Web pages and text appeared fuzzy in my tests, and the mediocre resolution didn't do video or still images proper justice.

The phone comes with 12GB of usable storage space; that isn't a lot, but it should be sufficient for most people (aside from those with massive media collections). Windows Phone doesn't allow for expandable storage, so you may have to juggle your media a bit if you have a large amount of music and videos in your Zune library.

HTC generally does an excellent job on phone cameras, and the Titan 2 is no exception. Outdoor photos that I took with the 16-megapixel camera looked crisp, clean, and sharp. The Titan 2 has a handful of aperture settings you can toy around with, and it includes a panoramic mode--in case you're like me and you're fond of taking panoramic photos of things. Unfortunately, photos I took indoors didn't come out as great as the outdoor shots. The few pictures I took indoors looked a bit dark, though I'm willing to chalk that up to a combination of my poor photography skills and the substandard lighting in our office. After I played around with the lighting some, my photos came out looking better--though still nowhere near as nice as the ones I took outside.

If you're a fan of , you'll probably enjoy HTC's included photo-enhancement software. The program lets you apply filters not only to the photos you take with the phone, but also to photos from your Facebook photo albums. Once you've settled on a look, you can then share the photo on Facebook or Twitter, or via an email or text message. It's a neat little extra, though I wish it had more variety in the filters.
