Motorola TITANIUM Pro Reviews

With few Android options on the Sprint Nextel iDEN network, the Titanium offers a well-rounded set of features and solid performance for most tasks. The hardware is well designed and works as it should, though perhaps it isn't as rugged as some may like. The keyboard is a welcome addition, and even more so since Motorola did such a good job with it. The Android 2.1 system software is a bit limiting, and system performance was a bit slow, but the Titanium shines when it comes to calling, signal, and battery performance. Even the extras, such as the camera, perform well. As with all iDEN-based phones, data performance is abysmal. A significant number of smartphone buyers do so for the mobile data capabilities. The Titanium doesn't deliver speedy mobile data. You'll have to seek out Wi-Fi for that. If you don't mind waiting a bit, though, the stock Android browser and Opera Mini browser are capable tools. In the end, the combination of PTT powers, Android software, and the full QWERTY keyboard may be all that you need to convince you that the Titanium is worth the upgrade. As long as you don't mind slow data performance, it is a solid phone from Motorola.

A rugged smartphone with crystal clear calls, the Motorola Titanium will be ideal for site workers who want to check email and social media. But without Wi-Fi access other connected smartphone features are slow.

The lack of selection in the Nextel lineup makes the Motorola TITANIUM your default choice if you want a smartphone, but it is not without its shortcomings. The 504MHz processor and 512MB of memory simply aren’t enough to run Android smoothly. The keyboard is soft and inaccurate and the navigation keys are tiny. While the Motorola TITANIUM may resemble the XPRT on the outside, is it very different on the inside and with the user experience. Unless you really need a smartphone and Nextel Direct Connect we’d recommend the XPRT if you’re looking for some portrait QWERTY Android action.

With the Titanium, Sprint and Motorola insult Nextel users by throwing them an obsolete bone of an Android smartphone.

The Motorola Titanium is probably the best iDEN smartphone available, but with outdated software and no 3G, it's far from the most advanced Android handset.
