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!
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.
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.
I recently traded out my SS4G for my wife's HTC Radar 4G and was very impressed with the speed, the easiness of use and overall feel of the phone. With the new 8107 update it becomes perfect, the keyboard stays and the proximity sensor works like it should.
Coming from an Android phone I feel that Windows Phone can go far. Android still has so many "F ups" and I do not have any problems with apps on WP7.5. A full solid 10 for this phone.
I'm test driving this WP7 phone. So far, I'm loving it.
Yes, it's missing a few things, but I'm sure Microsoft will keep working on making it better. The Metro UI is new, classy and fun! There aren't many apps, but there are a few that can keep you working.
