HTC has made a titanic, but expected, announcement; its first pair of WP7.5 “Mango” smartphones. The first and biggest phone is the appropriately named HTC Titan (a.k.a. HTC Eternity). With a 4.7-inch Super-LCD screen (800 x 480) this is HTC biggest phone yet and actually the largest-screened Windows Phone ever — it is larger than the HTC Sensation but lacks the 960×540 resolution, probably because WP7.5 will still have a maximum resolution limit of 800×480.

Obviously, the bigger news here is Microsoft’s updated operating system. With over 500 claimed new features, which will put Microsoft back in the catching-up game to Android and iOS. The Titan however is no slouch with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. We doubt that the 1600mAh battery will be enough to power this beast — but maybe HTC will follow-up with a ‘Special Edition‘ later, we’re being ironic of-course. The phone will weight 160g (5.6 oz) and the measurements, which you can see beautifully displayed in the image gallery after the break, are 131.5 x 70.7 x 9.9mm (5.18 x 2.78 x 0.39 inches).
