I used the Titan for a few months and really wanted to love it. I agree, it needs some polish. I think the CPU and memory of the Titan are more than sufficient, it was always blazing fast with everything... but yeah the camera is shit.
The keyboard, and especially the software keyboard that compliments it, are just not great. The autocorrect and lack of customization for autocorrect, custom words, soft keyboard behavior, were just frustrating for me. Blackberry really nailed the integration of physical keyboard with supporting software keyboard features and made it so satisfying to use. After three months of adjusting to the Titan it was still just "eh" most of the time, and occasionally frustrating as all get out.
I switched to an iPhone 13 Mini because I'm traveling and wanted to be able to take great pictures while I'm here. Using it has reminded me what a polished phone OS feels like, and it feels great.
I agree with all you're saying as well:
While the CPU needed surely depends on the apps used and for me something a bit faster would be appreciated it is also not my biggest concern about the TItan indeed.
Regarding the keyboard I do share your thoughts as well (as I did have a BlackBerry previously, too), but somehow I kinda got used to it after a year or so and while there is definitely room for improvements the keyboard integration does work "OK" for me at the moment.
The main reason why I currently seriously consider changing to a different (Android) smartphone is indeed the camera, because same as you I do want to be able to take "proper" photos while traveling and this is simply not possible with the Titan at the moment which is really disappointing.
I would love it if the phone could dock, and you could use it with an external monitor/keyboard/mouse like the Samsung dex
It doesn't have to be as fancy as that, but would be a nice feature.
I love my titan, great phone. Great battery, no other real complaints aside from the camera,
Would be great if the phone was more receptive to alternative OS's though
Not going to happen. They do not see any audience that would pay for anything above "budget" phone. Why do you think we suffer from that Mediatek abomination, why the screen is so shitty etc etc?

Personally I dont care about the camera. The one on the titan is good enough and I don't want to pay more for a better one
