One-and-a-half months after HTC introduced the Radar Windows Phone -- together with the Titan -- at this year's IFA in Berlin, the Taiwanese manufacturer is now officially launching the phone in India.

The phone is HTC's first Mango-device and sports a 1GHz processor, 3.8-inch WVGA screen, 512MB of RAM, 8GB internal storage, f/2.2 lens-equipped five-megapixel camera with improved low-light performance, and a front-facer for video calling and (future) Skype. It will go for Rs. 25,490 (around $517) and its current announcement coincides with Microsoft's launching Windows Phone in India.

HTC Radar Listed As 'Coming Soon' On Orange U.K.

You are in a Windows Phone Post

HTC Radar is the lower-spec'd wave-two Windows Phone to come out of Taiwan, alongside its larger, faster cousin, the HTC Titan. They were both launched at the beginning of September and showcased at this year's IFA in Berlin.

Orange U.K. has the phone listed with a "coming soon" label but there is no information regarding the availability. As far as the pricing is concerned, it will be offered for free on contract. How soon is "coming soon"? Our guess is that it all depends on whether Microsoft decides to officially launch Mango this week, as we've been hearing, or maybe Redmond pushes it back a little. Anyways, it shouldn't be that far out.

The HTC Radar sports the same specs of last year's Trophy, meaning it will pack a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM. Aside from the front-facing webcam and a new, improved five-megapixel back camera, everything is the same.

HTC Radar Video Showcase (But What's With That Name?)

You are in a Windows Phone Post

The HTC Radar is no stranger to video, already showing up in the spotlight as we gave it a hands-on at the IFA earlier this month. Now we can add to its video r?sum? some official spots produced by HTC, showing off some of the Mango phone's capabilities.

These clips talk hardware design, access to media, and gaming. Maybe more than anything, though, they just make the Radar look cool.

One video in particular gives us some insight into the phone's name, as its tools let you keep current events and info from your social group "all on your radar" (though that connection was pretty obvious).

While we're talking names, we've got to wonder what HTC was thinking when it comes to the Radar and the HTC Holiday, which we believe will end up as the HTC Raider. Two phones by the same manufacturer, coming out around the same time, running different operating systems, and with names as similar as Radar and Raider? That's just begging for confused, unhappy customers. HTC would be wise to change its mind about Raider before it's too late.

Product Pages Up For HTC Radar And Titan, Prices Revealed

You are in a Windows Phone Post

Following-up on today's reveal of the HTC Radar and HTC Titan, the company has flipped the switch on its webpages for the pair, giving us a complete look at their specs as well revealing their off-contract prices.

The numbers here confirm what we heard second-hand through those able to attend the London event, like the Radar's disappointing 1GHz processor. It also won't get either a gyroscope or digital compass, sensors both included with the Titan. It's not all sun and roses for the Titan, though, since its large 4.7-inch display will have the very same 800 x 480 resolution as the Radar's 3.8-inch screen; that means a pixel density of about 200 PPI for the Titan and 245 for the Radar.

Both phones will have quad-band GSM, but while the Titan will do HSPA on 850/900/2100 MHz bands, the Radar is limited to just 900/2100 MHz. We can also see a mention of the internet sharing we heard about HTC confirming earlier.

So what are these babies going to run you? The Titan will set you back about $850, and the Radar about $570.

More on HTC Titan and Radar: Dock, Video Chat, WiFi Sharing, More

You are in a Windows Phone Post

The new HTC Titan and Radar are causing quite the stir among Windows Phone 7 fans: they're the first devices to usher in the era of Windows Phone Mango. Not only that, but they also bring forth front-facing cameras, brawny hardware (especially in the case of the Titan with its 1.5GHz CPU and massive 4.7" display), and svelte designs.

A lot of smaller details about these two devices are surfacing. Here's a round-up of what we're learning:

1. Internet sharing

At the last minute, Microsoft was able to add internet sharing to Mango so that you can use your phone as a WiFi hotspot. This feature will be made available to HTC's two new Windows Phones, but it will not be a feature made available for older HTC hardware like the HD7 and Surround. Given that WiFi sharing is a software feature, and not hardware, we're likely to see the development community come up with a way to get legacy hardware up to speed with this feature.

2. Dock accessory

The Titan and Radar will have an optional dock accessory for use when charging your phone while at work or home. When you insert the device into a cradle, you'll see a special dock application that will display the time, weather, provide multimedia controls, and over shortcuts to certain programs.

3. New slogan for Windows Phone

Are you ready for an ambush of marketing for the second generation of Windows Phone 7? As as a preview, they'll have a new tagline: Put People First. Take a look at the above walkthrough video which makes mention of this new slogan.

4. Attentive phone settings, video chat

As with HTC Android phones, the new HTC Windows Phones have courtesy features, that will, for example, silence your phone if you turn it on its face while it's ringing, or ring louder when it's in your bag. This is done through a new screen in Settings.

Regarding video chat, there's a third-party service out there called Tango, which offers cross-platform video chat, even in Windows Phone 7. Within the next few days, we're likely to hear from Microsoft on a native video chat solution for Windows Phone, likely to be powered by Skype.

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.

HTC Radar (Omega) Shown on Video

You are in a Windows Phone Post

We revealed to you some pretty clear press shots of the upcoming HTC Omega Windows Phone 7.5 device just about a week ago, and we also suggested that the consumer name for the Omega would be HTC Radar. New video today confirms that the Omega is indeed a white Windows Phone 7.5 handset that will go by the name Radar. It'll have an 3.8" SLCD display with 8GB of storage, and most likely (though still unconfirmed) a 1.4GHz single-core Qualcomm chip. We're most curious to hear about the integration of the front-facing camera, which we're thinking might have something to do with Skype, which is supposed to see some last-minute integration with Mango.
