Unihertz Titan 6GB+128GB, Rugged QWERTY Smartphone, Android 10 Unlocked Smart Phone, Black (NO charger)

I cannot bear touchscreen-typing. Screens are for displaying, keyboards are for typing!The Unihertz Titan seems to be the only QWERTY smartphone option, other than Blackberry, left in the whole world.How did it come to this? Was it a fashion trend? Cost-cutting? Does everyone really love the lifeless feel of a cold flat sheet of glass on their fingertips?Whatever the reason, the Titan came along and saved us. We are the tiny minority who dare to live in the past, who remember better times when the satisfying click and well-formed shapes of real keys defined our communications experience.The Titan has a lovely keyboard, an impressively crisp square screen (on which you can still tap and slide around all those touch-screen apps) and an immense battery that lasts me a week. Yes, that's right, I charge the phone once a week and it's still on 30% even then! It works well too, and you can get away with most apps on the square screen. Just a few are designed for sole use on the those tall, narrow screens that everyone else seems to love.It's a big, heavy phone. Beautifully rugged-looking. People are constantly asking me what it is and where they can get one from. This is a great phone. Dare to be different!

Rugged, yes, large, yes. Easy to use, no and many dissappointing and annoying features that make me wish for my old blackberry back. Having to hold down both alt and number keys down at same time is deeply annoying, so is the screen lock that engages whenever someone calls or i make a call, makes it near impossible to hang up so all my voicemails tend to go on for about 2 minites and end with me just swearing at the phone. not great for business. Battery life aint all that either, it lasts a day of heavy use, no more. massively dissapointed

I'd like to start by saying that I am biased, well what I mean is I have gone off the new glass finished phones. That's Right they all look and feel the same, so when I saw the TItan my heart skipped a beat and I fell in love with the aesthetics but software does need to match up, now right off the bat this is not IOS but let me tell you this keyboard is fantastic yes it has its layout quirks but it is not difficult to get used to it at all. I am enjoying every part of this review all typed physically on my wonderful unihertz titan. Now here's my advice, if you use your generally for calls and email and social media then you have to buy this piece of kit absolutely fabulous. Even the size is good for typing, I think if it had of been smaller it would be more difficult to type on. It does weigh a little more than your average phone but that gives it a premium feel. If you have the money to buy it then I would advise you get it, my interest in using my phone has returned. Best phone I've ever bought.

Blackberry, may their name live in infamy, decided that after January 4th 2022, their phones will no longer be able to access any networks. Terrific. Paid £200 for mine. Good phone, apart from the lousy camera. Well, that'll add several 100s of 1000s more discarded smart phones to the mountains of unrecycled garbage that are taking over our poor planet and there doesn't seem to be a damn thing Blackberry users can do about other than buy a new phone. Which is where the Unihertz Titan comes in.If, like me, you loathe touch-screen keyboards and would rather have a physical Qwerty one, options are limited. In fact, the only practical one currently (December 2021) in production is the Unihertz Titan. So, how does it stack up?Well, I've only had it for a few weeks, but so far there's a fair bit to like. Important to me is its capacity to act as a music player. My music collection amounts to over 68,000 tracks. These take up a lot of space. I had to delete albums from my Blackberry, which could only manage a maximum 256gb micro SD card. The Titan lives up to its name by handling cards up to 1 terabyte! Having downloaded and installed the Vanilla Music Player, I pointed it at my music folder and waited to see if it could handle all those tracks. It took a while to sort through them, but handles them just fine.When out buying CDs, I often have to check that I don't already have them. On the Blackberry, searching through 60,000 tracks took a while. With the Titan's whopping 6gb of RAM, the search facility in Vanilla Music produces results almost instantly. Brilliant! The sound quality through the provided earphones is also pretty good, certainly better than my old iPod and plenty good enough for me. Volume is also good, surpassing the limiters the iPod had by a long way.The keyboard is reasonably responsive, enabling accurate keying. The keys are larger than on the Blackberry and there are a few extras that add functionality. Decent predictive software speeds up the typing process too. This is great as one of the reasons I want a phone is to edit course booklets I produce for the British Druid Order while I'm on the move. Again, the Titan handles this every bit as well as the Blackberry. The larger keyboard is one reason why the Titan is bigger than the Passport, longer by about 18mm and thicker too.As a physical piece of kit, the Titan is solid with a good heft in the hand. Nothing flimsy about it. It's a chunky block of rubber, metal and glass. The screen is a little bigger than the Blackberry Passport and nice and clear. I've adjusted the brightness down to 33%, which is easier on the eyes. Apart from the keyboard, the physical buttons consist of an on/off switch and rocker volume control on the right, torch on the left.If you're looking for a phone to make hi-def movies on, you might need to look elsewhere. The front and rear cameras on the Titan are not of the best quality, adequate for grabbing quick snaps but not much more. Still, they are much better than those on the Blackberry Passport.My greatest irritation with the Titan is that it comes pre-installed with so much Google software, which is great if you want your every thought and action tracked by Google HQ and sold off to third parties all over the world. That said, it's easy enough to bin the Google garbage and replace it with software that works better and doesn't spy on you. I ditched Google search on the home page, for example, and replaced it with the Qwant search engine.The Titan is at least as much a miniature computer as it is a smart phone, which is exactly what I want. And despite what some have said, it fits easily in most of my pockets. So far, then, I'm pretty happy with it. I just hope Unihertz allow me to keep using it and won't cut it off from the networks like Blackberry did with my otherwise still perfectly functional Passport. Grrrrrrrrrrrr......

Nice, well finished and heavy phone. The problem was when I was setting up the apps, I locked the screen and then it wouldn't wake up or do anything no matter what button I pressed. the keyboard remained lit although inoperative.I plugged a charger in (it was 48%) and held the power key down for 15 seconds. Then it rebooted. This has happened twice yesterday and once today. I was told by support to factory reset which I did twice but this made no difference. The seller support was responsive and tried to help but the phone just wouldn't operate properly and is going back for a refund.It's a shame as I really like the form factor and layout. I just got a duff unit.
