HTC Titan Super-Size Windows Phone Launches in the U.S.

Today is the U.S. debut of the HTC Titan, which will likely be the new flagship for Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system. This device sports a display that's almost 5-inches, as well as a range of other high-end features.

The centerpiece for this newly-released model is its 4.7-inch WVGA (800 x 480) capacitive touchscreen. That gives it one of the largest displays available on any smartphone.

The Titan's designers didn't skimp in other areas, either. It runs Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) on a 1.5 GHz processor, and has an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash. There's 16GB of internal storage (but no removable card slot).

Other items in the features list include support for AT&T's 4G HSPA+ wireless network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, plus a 1.3MP front-facing camera and a 1600 mAh battery.

Price and Availability
The HTC Titan launched today, so it is available now on the AT&T website. So far, this is the only carrier in this country that is offering it.

It has a price in-line with its high-end featureset: $200 with a two-year contract. It costs $550 without a contract.
