hi
i am using samsung galaxy s2 and sick of flashing a new rom or kernel for better performance everyday. it still lags and is not as smooth as windows os or ios.
i had samsung omnia 7 before that and loved it but the only thing that made me sell it was no support for viop on windows phone os.
htc titan looks good and also has FFC a big + for me
Nokia 800 is good too but doesnt support FFC .
Should i buy the omnia 7 cuz the 2nd generation of windows phones dont have anything special and dont impress me that much.
what should i buy? An honest opinion plz.
thanks

It looks like the front facing camera isn't a big deal for you since you're willing to buy an Omnia 7, so in that case I think the Nokia 800 would be the nicest phone. But if FFC is important to you, then I would buy the Titan.

Just to let you know, Samsung just released the Omnia W in Europe with FFC and 2nd gen processor at 1.4ghz. Check it out :)

tbh this isnt a straight question as the Titan and Lumia are 2 differant fish. The big quesition isnt the ffc but more the size. if the big screen is important then there its the Titan otherwise the lumia is a better build and a better quality screen. Plus if its not important to have the size i think the mass of the thing will get annoying.
FFC as said before there is the omniaW that could be a good option for you. I personally would and have gone for the lumia 800 for the reason of quality and style. Its not ony the most stylish wp7 it is im my opinion the most stylish gadget of all time. Plus the screen i amazing and you get the navigation. I know you can hack it to other phones but why bother when you can have the proper deal.

The lumia is a lovely looking phone, but having played with a couple in the shops, the build quality doesn't feel as good as the Titan - the hardware buttons around the side of the phone are a little lose. It feels nice to hold etc... but the screen is just a smidgen too small for my liking (I think around 4" is the sweet spot).

The Titan is just a touch too big as well, but I prefer the Titan being a bit to big than vice-versa. The screen on the Titan is brilliant - the image quality is top notch, and I think it's every bit as good as the screen on the Nokia from first impressions.

As mentioned already, if FFC is important then there's not even a question to be answered. Otherwise, it really comes down to whether you want a bigger screen or not, everything else will be fairly equal.

I really was waiting for Nokia's first offering, but am severly underwhelmed by the two phones they've launched. The leaks were all indicating a 4 inch (or there abouts) phone with FFC etc... which would have been exactly what I wanted, as it is, once they launched their phones, I immediately went and got the Titan, and don't regret it so far.

Lumia for me.

The screen on the Titan is too big for me. I wouldn't want anything bigger than my Omnia 7 as that is already on the limit as far as pocket space goes for me.
