The HTC Radar is a phone that has been recently announced by HTC with a view of capturing the Windows Phone 7 operating system segment. Even though the previous generation Windows Mobile operating system was extremely popular, it was simply not capable of challenging with the new-age rivals that include Android and the iOS. As a result, Microsoft launched the Windows Phone 7 operating system a few months ago, but it did not get the same kind of reception that it should have. After thorough analysis, Microsoft has clearly understood that the lack of certain features has been mainly responsible for the stuttering start to this operating system's life. Hence, they will be providing a crucial update in the form of the Windows Phone 7 Mango operating system.

One of the first devices– along with the HTC Titan – that will run on this new operating system is the HTC Radar. Not only does this phone provide the new operating system, but it also offers the latest features that are designed to go along with this operating system. This includes the 3.8 ...

The presence of the gorilla glass display ensures that the touch screen is excellent in terms of maintaining its shine throughout the time that you intended to use it. The associated features in the display department of the HTC Radar include the proximity sensor, accelerometer, Gyroscope sensor, and last but not least – capacitive technology.

The 3.8 inch display is embedded in the phone that has a low weight of just 137 g. In addition to this, the 10.9 mm thickness of the phone ensures that it is extremely competitive amidst the competition. In fact, the HTC Radar can even challenge the high-end phones in terms of this feature. Given the fact that the HTC Radar offers only the 3.8 inch display, one can certainly consider this phone to be a mid-range smartphone. However, the HTC Radar comes with the DLNA feature in the connectivity department. This is usually considered as one of the premium connectivity options, but it is present in the HTC Radar alongside the options that include 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS and much more. They ensure that sharing data is going to be extremely easy on the HTC Radar.

The fact that the HTC Radar runs on the Windows Phone 7 Mango operating system means that the requirements are going to be extremely high in the processor department. Unsurprisingly, the HTC Radar offers an extremely powerful 1 GHz single core processor that has been presented with the Adreno 205 GPU for maximum performance. The phone also provides 512 MB of RAM, which will certainly come in handy when running many applications at a time. The HTC Radar has a five megapixel camera that is very much on par with the competition. It also has a secondary VGA camera, which can support video calling. The HTC Radar should be available in the UK from October, with prices yet to be revealed. Besides that you may also wish to take a look at HTC Incredible S for other available deals.
