Great phone for calls and sms
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Looks like the HTC Radar is overall great phone to use daily for calls, sms and short emails. I have it for few weeks already and use it as a business phone so I talk about one hour every day (20-30 calls). Battery life is encouraging - it lasts between 3 and 4 working days with good load of usage. I cannot suggest how it does when used for browsing and regularly with the 3G on. Beautiful display, great earpiece and mic, sound is really clear. Design is classy, however you would need a rubbery case for better grip as the phone is thin. User interface is so nice, logical, simple and readable, I trully appreciate it. I have used a simbian phone forever and this one is a good step forward. Recommend to people who use the phone itself as such and like stylish looks and solid built designs. Thumbs up!

The best Windows Phone on the market
Phone owned for less than a year

I Have had the Radar for almost a year and it has never failed me... I Have tried the Lumia 900, Galaxy S 3, and The HTC One S all great phones but something about the Radar that just makes me come back every time.

HTC Radar 4G T-Mobile
Phone owned for less than a month

I was surprised at how far Windows has come along. I loved this phone best windows phone ive had since the HD2. One thing I like the most about Windows phones is it doesnt have apps running in the background to kill the battery.
