HTC Radar

HTC Radar is the intuitive phone that keeps it all on your radar and lets you get real-time close…with everything. Crafted from a single piece of metal, it offers a premium design. The device runs on Windows Phone OS 7.5 platform.

Elegantly crafted with an aluminium unibody, HTC Radar brings you closer to the important things in life, with the new People Hub from Windows Phone. The People Hub keeps you up to date with your friends' latest news showing all of your communication history with each person, as well as their recent social network updates and photos. You can also stay in touch using SMS, Facebook chat and Windows Live Messenger in one conversation, without having to switch applications or disrupt the conversation flow. Alternatively, speak face-to-face with new video calling that lets you see your friends' faces on the bright and sharp 3.8 inch screen.

HTC Radar includes a dedicated hardware camera button which enables you to capture vivid images without unlocking the phone while the f/2.2 aperture lens and back-illuminated sensor provide improved low-light performance - making sure you never miss that perfect shot. With 28mm wide-angle lenses you can capture more of the scene in front of you while the new panoramic feature lets you create dramatic pictures of skylines and landscapes. The device can shoot bright and vibrant HD (720p) videos, making it perfect companion for family functions or a night out with friends. And with the HTC Photo Enhancer, you can quickly touch up pictures and upload them to Facebook, tagging your friends as you go using automatic face detection built in to Windows Phones.

With HTC Radar, mobile multimedia is greatly improved. The phone includes HTC Watch - an application and service that puts an entire library of the latest, premium movies and TV shows right at your fingertips, letting people discover the latest video content in an easy and visually engaging way. Utilizing Virtual 5.1 surround sound for a rich audio experience, the phone is perfect for enjoying the Zune music service. Internet browsing is fast and smooth with HTML5 support. You also get an amazing mobile gaming with Xbox LIVE, giving you access to a great selection of games for Windows Phone, which include features like Leaderboards and Achievement that connect you with your friends and the Xbox LIVE community around the world.

If you're after a mid range windows phone 7 phone, this is the phone to get. it's fast, bright and battery life isn't too bad, getting 2/3 days on normal usage.
7.5/mango works really well and absolutely love the general integration of all social apps. 3.8" is a good size phone, not too big that it won't fit in your pocket. (Posted on 24/10/11)

Phone was a huge surprise. The Super LCD screen is very nice and brings colours real to life. Runs WP7 very well and photos on the F2.2 lens takes very good photos. (Posted on 20/10/11)
