Microsoft Reportedly Debuts Zune Marketplace in Sweden

You are in a Windows Phone Post

Cool devices and an operating system stable, smooth and fast, with many features (or the smallest possible missing features) are not the only factors that determine the popularity of Windows Phone. Since the platform is depending very much on online services, their availability to as many regions as possible is crucial.

The Marketplace is reportedly live in Sweden and according to information received by WPCentral, renting movies (for points) and purchasing Windows Phone (for money) is possible. There are some glitches though which will be hopefully ironed out once Microsoft officially outs Mango or fixes the initial speed bumps on the new Marketplace region.

HTC Debuts Radar and Titan Windows Phone Mango Handsets

You are in a Windows Phone Post

Londoners have been invited to an HTC event that's currently underway, where the company promised to show them "what's next". A rumor said that this shindig would be a platform for the company to highlight some of its new Windows Phone handsets, rather than anything Android. Sure enough, Mango is the word, and so far HTC has debuted the Radar and Titan Windows Phone smartphones.

We had heard that the Radar (pictured above) might just be the HTC Omega that's been in our sights for a while now, and sure enough, it is. The less-powerful of the two models, the Radar was expected to feature a 1.4 or 1.5GHz processor, but it seems that HTC will be sticking with a 1GHz chip. With a 3.8-inch screen, 512MB of RAM and 8GB storage, it's positively Trophy-esque. It differs mainly in its camera setup, including an f/2.2 lens for low-light-level performance, and the front-facing camera we had heard about earlier.

The Titan (below), on the other hand, could be a Windows Phone powerhouse. This is what we knew as the Eternity, with a giant 4.7-inch screen. Here, the rumored specs check out better, with a 1.5GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, and 16GB storage. The Titan's a hair under a centimeter thick, so it manages to stay thin despite the large display. It will have the same low-light performance as the Radar, but with an eight-megapixel sensor versus the Radar's five. Both model will, of course, arrive running Mango. Price and availability have yet to be revealed.
