Taking delivery of a new mobile phone
is exciting. The phone arrives and you eagerly open the box so you can charge
up the battery and start accessing all of the features. In fact it probably
feels like Christmas has come early, but before you get too carried away, it is
a good idea to take your time and find out more about your new HTC Titan, because
it undoubtedly has a lot more features than you may be aware of.
Tile System
The HTC Titan comes fully kitted out
with a Windows 7.5 Mango operating system (although this has recently been
upgraded to Windows 7.8). Unlike Android HTC phones, the visual display on the
Titan has a series of tiles that allow the user to access different functions.
For those who are used to the ubiquitous iPhone or android phones currently
freely available everywhere, the Windows tile system is a bit different. But
fear not because once you get your head around how it works, it really is
pretty easy.
Customise The Home Screen
The beauty of android phones is that
you can customise your home screen in a million different ways. Download new
screensavers and move your apps around to your heart’s content - there are so
many ways to change the look of an android phone that you can look forward to
enjoying a whole new screen every day if you feel like it. The tile system on
the HTC Titan is a lot more restrictive, but if you want a different look, it
is possible to move tiles around and change colour schemes. Sadly you can’t
redecorate with some new wallpaper like you can with android phones, but you
can shuffle tiles around if you choose.
App Happy
The HTC Titan comes with lots of apps,
which you can toggle between. The tiles on the home screen link to different
functions, including mail, news and anything else that you feel is important
enough to need direct access. The contacts section has been renamed as ‘people’
and when you go into your address book you are given several different contact
options. So if you want to get in touch with your best mate, you can call,
text, tweet, or Facebook them - the choice is yours.
Find The Right Contract
Like any of the more expensive mobile
phones out there, you may find that the only way you can afford to invest in
one is to pay for it monthly on a contract basis. If you do have the cash up
front, you should be able to buy the HTC Titan without a SIM and just insert
your existing SIM card. Or you could opt for a HTC Titan on a PAYG basis, but
before you take either of the latter two options, consider how much you
normally spend on calls, text messaging and data per month, as in many cases it
will be cheaper to opt for one of the cheaper contracts on offer. If in doubt,
pop along to your nearest phone store and ask for some advice or check online
for the latest deals.
