HTC Windows Phone-packing Titan smartphone has beat the rest of the pack when it comes to hitting the shores of mainland China, where HTC launched its first store in Beijing over the weekend.

The Titan has been renamed "Triumph" rather than Titan II, but will sport something unique software-wise. Current devices that have Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" at most, but the new version shipping in China, sports the Tango release of Windows Phone, also present on Nokia's Lumia 610.

Spec-wise, it's still pretty much identical, sporting a 4.7-inch, 480x800-pixel LCD, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, with 1.3-megapixel up front.
