If you are an inexperienced user of smart phones looking for your first purchase, and certainly won't want any extra software, then after someone has shown you what to do... you will probably be pleased with your purchase. If you are a big windows fan then this is the phone for you.
For everyone else then this phone (or more precisely microsoft) will probably test your patience as you try to load new apps for the first time.
Good points:
Just about all the hardware is perfect. The screen, camera, phone, ... all great. The screen is sharp, bright, clear. The camera takes great pictures. Handset size is big, but you do get used to it, and benefit from the bigger screen. Battery life up to 2 days with moderate use.
Most of the software that comes pre-loaded is good too. Everything about this phone is great until the first time you want to add apps.
The bad points.
In short this can be summed up as Zune / Windows Live interface, and in some minor cases the windows o/s.
I didn't want an overly complicated experience and hours spent with the phone plugged into the PC whilst trying to get apps loaded, but that is what I got when I bought this phone.
The pre-loaded software is great. It is just enough for a first-time user of smart phones. But after a while you will want to add apps, and at that point be prepared for an endurance test. With the exception of adding music to the phone, nothing about Zune is intuitive.
I expected to be able to load new apps from the phone itself, but until you have overcome the zune / windows live /x-box set-up processes the phone rejects any attempts to buy apps, insisting that the profile is not set up to do so. Finding your way into and around the Zune menus, attempting to overcome these blocks, seemed close to impossible. Only with the help of user forums did I eventually work out why there was a problem.
Also Windows Live seemed obsessed with security checks; before I could continue passcodes were emailed to me, but the emails took many minutes to arrive and the windows live security check webpage had timed out, eventually I had to reset passwords and start again.
If microsoft get their act together and provide interface software that is clear, simple, and works first time, then this could be one of the best phones on the market.
UPDATE 11Oct2012:
After much searching of forums I found why I was struggling with loading new apps. A cautionary tale to all: When setting up the first Windows Live email address on the phone it must be exactly the same as the email address used to access Zune (and Windows Live, and X-box websites). You can never change it, and you cannot add valid email addresses as second accounts on the phone. If you get this wrong you will never be able to load new apps. AND at a later date if you want to change your email address it can only be done by a 'reset to factory settings', and of course you will then lose all the music, apps, contacts etc that you added.
Moving from a HTC Desire running Android Gingerbread 2.3 this is a step in the right direction. There are over 100,000 apps on the Windows Marketplace and I have found every app I could possibly want or need so you can ignore all the trash about the apps not being there too.
When I got this phone I thought it was huge, but it's huge in a beautiful way, the screen is LCD and so the white and blacks are way more accurate than that of the trashy AMOLED found on the Galaxy S2. Pixel count isn't noticeable because the LCD is just gorgeous.
I wanted a simple phone which done the job and Windows 7.5 is right in there, iOS is too simple and Android is too complicated. Windows 7.5 checks all the boxes. Notifications are on the Live Tiles so there is no notification screen and I've found this to be quite intuitive, now I don't spend half of my time looking at a notification menu. The OS is incredibly smooth, there is no lag or even a hint of lag, it feels far superior to anything I've ever tried.
Here are some of the best features about my HTC Titan and the Windows Phone 7.5 OS...
1) Camera Button - You heard that right Android/iPhone users. Yes you can still touch your screen if you wanted too, it's just nice to have a button.
2) Xbox Live - Now I can play mobile games and earn G points all at the same time, it ties in to Xbox Live really well.
3) Internet Explorer - By far the best browser I've seen on a mobile (you heard that right), it's so fast and fluid, and on a large screen who needs to view the Mobile Website? Now I can view the Desktop Website.
4) Screen Size - 4.7 inches of magnificance, the LCD really makes the AMOLED look like it has catching up to do.
5) Single Core Processor - Better battery life, Windows 7.5 runs smooth on the cheapest of phones, dual core isn't necessary unlike the Android Powerhouse. I can get 2 days out of my Titan with ease.
6) Aluminium Case - Yes it's a bit of a pain to hold as it feels slippery but it really does give a nice finish.
7) People Hub - Bring together Facebook, Hotmail & Phone Contacts.
8) Office - WIN
9) Photosynth - Love taking 360 degree panorama photo's.
10) Bing Get Me there - Best Tube app ever.
11) Windows Phone 7.8 - We're not being left out in the dark! Resizable tiles is going to be awesome!
Things that I felt were average...
1) Navigation - Just isn't there unless your willing to pay £27 for Route 66. Granted it is unlimited. It does offer Bing Maps with step by step nagivation however. Get a Nokia if you want Navigation for free...
2) Updates - Still done via Microsoft Zune however the 7.8 will probably change that to OTA. Not a big deal though, also it means you have to install Zune software.
3) YouTube - Yes it doesn't have Adobe Flash and the app is just a link but YouTube has worked flawlessly for me and I have no Adobe Flash bugs to report. =D
Here is an expert review from Hardware Heaven who were skeptical at best about the Windows Phone OS + HTC Titan, they guessed again!

Finally the reason for 5 stars is because it's a lot of bang for buck. £275 for a masterpiece.
Turns out 16 gb's is more or less just what I needed.
It's got a nice weight to it and the screen is stunning. My last phone was an HD2 which I constantly used via Bluetooth with my Car stereo, the sound on that was good, but the sound on this makes me feel as if I had cotton wool in my ears all that time. It's incredible.
The colours on this are seriously rich and it's very fast to use. I have a Zune pass and like to have a plethora of music on my phone, hence worrying about the size of the storage, but I've currently got around four hours of music on it and have plenty of room to spare.
As regards the apps. I've found absolutely everything that I need and everything is beautiful in it's design.
It is big, about .4 inches bigger than my previous phone, which I'd thought of as the perfect size, but after holding this. I'm now thinking that this could be my ideal size. It's great for surfing with, great for reading.
So my temporary phone has now become the phone that I never knew I wanted but now love.
I'd highly recommend this if you're thinking of buying one.
Okay. Turns out that my only downside, that of this phone not having a front camera was completely wrong. IT DOES. Blimey, maybe I should actually read up a bit more on the stuff that I buy.
For a temporary purchase, I can see this phone lasting me a very long time. I love it.
