With a name like the Titan, HTC's new Mango-flavoured behemoth brings with it a sense of size, power and magnificence – as does that huge chassis. But are a mahoosive 4.7in screen, 1.5GHz processor and the all new Windows 7.5 OS enough to do that name justice? It's certainly worth watching our video review to find out.

PlayStation Network under attack once again
Sony’s chief information security officer Philip Reitinger has stated on the official PlayStation Blog that another security breach has been attempted on Sony’s PlayStation and online entertainment networks.
The attempts “…appear to include a large amount of data obtained from one or more compromised lists from other companies, sites or sources”, meaning that Sony itself isn’t to blame for the loss of information.
The attackers have tested the stolen lists of login details and passwords against login information in Sony’s database. Luckily only a minority of accounts have had identical matches – less than 0.1% of users are reported to have been affected and no credit card details have been compromised.
Victims of the attack can expect an email from Sony shortly. The tech giant is doing an admirable job of keeping gamers updated – having learned its lesson since the far bigger PlayStation Network security breach that took place earlier this year.

The Nokia 800 seen here leaked adverts found on Pocketnow both point to an N9 shaped, aluminium unibody treat. The phone will likely be available in Nokia’s usual array of colours.
The only other detail, which is a firm as a fresh blamange, is that the Nokia 800 will likely pack an 8MP camera – unless they want to start taking steps backward from the N8’s ground-breaking snapper.
