First Look: We take a closer look at the HTC Radar, the little brother to the mammoth Titan.
The rear of the phone is athree-tone effort we’re used to seeing on HTC's Android devices with a five megapixelcamera sitting between an LED flash and a speaker grille.
Expert review by : Niall Magennis (trustedreviews.com)
If HTC's Titan was too brutish for you, but you still like the idea of Windows Phone 7 handset, then the regular sized Radar might be more up your street.
Windows Phone 7.5 UI is slick and responsive ; Good battery life ; Excellent call quality
Video recording could be better ; Non-removable battery ; No microSD card slot
Overall, the HTC radar is an excellent mid-range smartphone. Sure, it has some issues, such as the lack of support for microSD cards. However, the phone looks stylish, feels very robust and is speedy too. In fact, the whole package feels very slick and...

Could the Titan's little brother bring Mango to the masses?
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 the latest smartphone to run Windows Phone 7.5, following on from the HTC Titan. With a smooth unibody design, HD video recording and 5MP camera, will it be enough to make Windows Phone a success?
Expert review by : Thomas Tamblyn (t3.com)
The HTC Radar is the sibling to HTC's mammoth Titan, and with Windows Phone Mango straight out of the box it clearly means business, but can it compete with its larger brother?
WP 7.5 with multi-tasking ; Bright and clear screen ; Social integration
Lack of apps ; Build design ; Camera
Although small on changes, Mango has helped make Windows Phone much better, that said the OS is chronically undersupported by apps and although HTC's Hub tries to help it's still incredibly noticeable and has you yearning for the same apps found on...

Windows Phone 7 Mango is here and that means a selection of new smartphones to choose from. The new version of the OS is aimed at users who are either upgrading from the first batch of 2010 handsets, or moving over to the platform for the first time....
DLNA, crisp Super LCD screen, good design
Same processor as last year, no Dr Dre Beats Audio, no NFC, not much storage
The HTC Radar is designed for those that want to take advantage of the latest Mango features on a new phone from HTC without having to go for the massive HTC Titan. The Radar is a solid handset that delivers a good Windows Phone experience, but not an...
Expert review by : Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)
HTC released five Windows Phone 7 powered smartphones in 2010, but for 2011 the tactic is going to be different. That's the theory anyway and to kick off the Windows Phone 7 Mango update it's launching just two smartphones, the HTC Titan and the HTC...
Affordable, DLNA, HTC Hub, Mango
Small screen, Specs haven't really moved on from Trophy
Expert review by : Bonnie Cha (cnet.co.uk)
In early September, HTC stopped by the CNET offices to show off its new Windows Phone devices, the HTC Titan and HTC Radar. Though the Titan was the better phone in terms of specs, it was the Radar that grabbed my attention, with its combination of a...
The HTC Radar 4G boasts a beautiful, high-quality design. Windows Phone Mango offers a smooth user experience and some great feature enhancements. The smartphone's 5-megapixel camera is fast and delivers great photos; a front-facing camera also allows...
The Radar 4G doesn't offer expandable memory or a user-replaceable battery. Call quality could be better.
The combination of a beautiful design, Windows Phone, and an affordable price tag makes the HTC Radar 4G a great smartphone for first-time buyers and those who don't need all the bells and whistles.

Another classy Windows Phone from HTC
Sleek, fast and handsome, with a classy Windows Phone interface
Expert review by : Thomas Newton (recombu.com)
Along with the HTC Titan which we recently reviewed comes the HTC Radar, the second of HTC's Windows Phone line up for 2011. Like the Titan, you get Windows Phone 7.5 aka Mango installed out of the…

HTC has bought into Microsoft's Windows Phone...
Great chassis build; fast responsive processor
No memory expansion; can’t access the battery; no Flash support
The HTC Radar is a solidly made handset, and it’s a good size for the hand and pocket. Although, without memory expansion and Flash support it feels hampered. There’s no particular standout feature to lure us in, while the Windows Phone OS is something...
