    • Gadgets: Microsoft HTC TITAN II Phone – 5 Things I Love About It




    A few weeks ago I was in Miami with Microsoft and I got introduced to so many new and exciting things from the brand. One thing in particular was their new lineup of phones. I’ve had a chance to play around with it for a few weeks and I have to say that love it. Let me explain why.

    1. 16 Megapixel Camera ( Do I have to say more?)
    2. Voice Recognition – Use your voice to text or call people, start apps or search the web.
    3. Local Scout – Find nearby restaurants,shops and things to do right from a button on your phone.
    4. Translate any text to your language of choice from one touch on your phone. (Great for travellers)
    5. Maps- I’ve never used a more comprehensive map on any other device, even a car navigation systems.

    I love a lot more things about the phone but I just wanted to share the ones that I use all the time.
