Check out, in brief, the features of the phones...
HTC Titan II
The Titan II will run on AT&T's networks and offers a hugely impressive 16 megapixel camera... easily the biggest and first in its class.
The phone will run on the Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 Mango OS and, like the Nokia Lumia, will be the first phone from the brand to support LTE connectivity. The smartphone also allows 720p HD video recording with the rear camera, as well as video calling over Wi-Fi with its 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.

Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note on Monday and announced its launch in the U.S. on AT&T's network.
The Galaxy Note was one of the most talked-about devices at CES; the combination of a tablet and a smartphone were too much for most people to resist. The device comes with a 5.3-inch WXGA Super AMOLED HD screen that comes with 1280×800 resolutions at 285 ppi density. The screen provides a bright, rich, colorful viewing experience, according to the company.
The inclusion of the S Pen, a fast and responsive stylus, an input tool that allows users to create fine lines and details on the device's display, much like an ink pen and a pad of paper, will be an added attraction to smartphone users.
The Galaxy Note comes with 16GB of internal memory which can be expanded up to 32GB, via a microSD card. The device is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, has a 2 megapixel front-facing camera and an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera. Unlike the European model, the AT&T model will feature Near Field Communication technology (NFC).
Sony Xperia S
Sony introduced 5 smartphones - the Xperia S, the Xperia ion, the Xperia NX and the Xperia acro HD. However, it was the Xperia S that grabbed the attention of smartphone lovers.
The phone runs a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon processor, with 1GB of RAM and a 4.3 inch screen 720x1280 pixel LED-backlit LCD display with capacitive multi touch-screen of 342 ppi density. It also has a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera for video calling and an impressive 12 megapixel camera at the back.
The phone offers two memory configurations - 16/32GB. The Sony Xperia S will run on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread and will receive an update for the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich during the second quarter of 2012. It comes with the Mobile BRAVIA Engine and Timescape User Interface. It also boasts features like PlayStation certification, Near Field Communication technology (NFC), an accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, Active Noise Cancellation with a dedicated mic, an MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV player, an MP3/eAAC+/WMA/WAV player and TrackID music recognition.
