Nokia Lumia 900 or HTC Titan??

I'm ready to drop some serious cash on a new phone, since my 2,5yo HTC Touch Pro2's battery is dying (it holds about 3-4 hours per charge!!). Sure i just can buy a new battery, but i figured it's time for a change anyway. I was gonna hold out till wp8 arrive with new devices and features, but now is as good time as any to introduce myself to a new platform.

Since I'm a huge fan of windows phone (not a fanboy, but sure an apple hater!!), I'm currently lingering between 2 handsets:

i) the announced and available in my country (Greece, Europe) HTC Titan witch will cost me about 460-470 euro delivered to my door with a couple of HTC screen protectors, shipping costs included.

ii) the unannounced and possibly more expensive Nokia Lumia 900, witch might be up to 3 months to get to the market.

I have played a little with the smaller Lumia 800 and I was really impressed be the build quality and the responsiveness of the phone, really good!! But the 800 has a 3,8" screen (same as my tp2) and i want something a bit bigger. I was planing to buy the successor of the HD7 (4.3") but never came to fruition. instead we got the the 4,7" behemoth, the Titan!! I find the Titan a bit on the "BIG" scale and the screen enormous, but having seen some hands on videos and comparisons of the 900 and the titan, i saw that they are the same size. So i figured i go for the bigger screen, since i'm a fan of htc, and aluminum builds!!

But witch of the 2 is the better overall phones?? Should I wait for the Lumia or go for some 4,7" screened goody??

P.S. I really don't like to wait too much, since wp8 devices are going to ship, and it's better to get a next gen device.
