So, users of the HTC 7 Trophy can look at the Radar in disbelief all they want. Yes, its the same phone theyve been having for a year now. The Radar wont stare back at them. Although, its got a few things to show: unibody, wireless hotspot functionality courtesy of Mango, a better screen and camera (not so much for the wide-angle lens and backlit sensor as the simply better looking photos).
Anyway, the Radar is not for anyone looking to upgrade from the Trophy or the Mozart. read more →
- 3.8" 16M-color capacitive LCD touchscreen of WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels)
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
- Dual-band 3G with HSDPA (7.2 Mbps) and HSUPA (2Mbps)
- Windows Phone 7 operating system
- 1GHz Scorpion CPU, Adreno 205 GPU, Snapdragon chipset
- Non-expandable storage
- No mass storage
- Zune-only file management and sync
- No Flash (nor Silverlight) support in the browser
- No native video calls
If you're undeterred by the Radar's few limitations, it's easily among the most satisfying Windows Phone devices on the market today.
With its smaller screen, slower CPU and lower-res camera, it was easy to overlook the Radar as it debuted alongside its larger, bulkier sibling, the HTC Titan. Even we were blinded by shock and awe, but after spending time with the little guy, we must say we're quite smitten. read more →
- Beautiful display
- Top-notch build
- HD camcorder with auto-focus
- Sealed battery (the HTC Titan's is removable)
- Limited storage
- Hit-or-miss software customization
The HTC Radar 4G is a solid Windows Phone 7 device that could easily win some converts over from an Android or iOS handset. read more →
- Feels well-crafted
- Bright screen
- Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) OS is smooth as silk.
- Not really 4G
- Mediocre reception
- No Wi-Fi calling like with other T-Mobile smartphones.
We would love it if we could divide this review into two parts: one for the HTC Radar's build and calls and one for the operating system. Unfortunately we can't, so this all has to be mixed in together, which is why we're only able to give the HTC Radar 3.5 stars out of 5.
The build is top notch, and it feels like a good, solid device. But HTC's rubbish memory allowance and lack of battery is just too much for us. read more →
- Great, quality build
- Loud speakerphone
- Contacts integration is top-notch
- Keyboard is fantastic
- Browser is great and text looks clear
- Battery isn't removable and storage isn't expandable
- Voice search shown up now we have Siri
- Too many quirks with camera options for comfort
- Sharing videos is painful
- Very little skinning and customisation allowed other than Windows' offerings
The HTC Radar is all the Trophy was and then some. With a great screen, comfortable, ergonomic design and an attractive interface not to mention all the advantages of Mango. The phone won’t do everything an Android handset will, however, it’s much easier to work your way around, and with the bonus of the decent 5MP camera and fantastic build quality, buy this and you're onto a winner. If you aren’t too concerned about build quality or the camera, you can consider last season's HTC 7 Trophy which should deliver an extremely comparable experience once Mango lands. read more →
- Smooth performance
- High-quality construction
- Good video recording quality
- Immature OS with limited app support
- Dull pictures
- Few noteworth differences between this and the HTC 7 Trophy
