HTC has had a number of forays into the Windows market and the latest is the HTC Radar which uses the new and also highly acclaimed Windows Phone 7 Mango operating system. This new OS update is meant to offer a complete multitasking experience to users and is seen as bringing Windows Phone 7 contracts a big step into the mobile phone market.

Lucky for Windows the HTC Radar is quite a nice looking phone and it feels strong due to its aluminum casing and other features such as its large screen look attractive and premium. The phone is a 3.8 inch mid range device that HTC will be expecting to sell as well as anything they have released before in the Windows arena. The device comes in both black and white and has three buttons on the bottom, as is the Windows way – the only downside being it may be considered a little thick.

The device is powered by a Snapdragon 1GHz processor that we have seen in a number of other phones and is considered to be an excellent little chip that is deserved of it popularity. This will impress many and we found it to be excellent when dealing with the multitasking abilities of the Windows Mango operating system

HTC have included a 5mp camera with the phone which is capable of 720p recording. This will go well with the WVGA screen which is one of the best HTC have produced in recent times and is good in bright conditions – not a HTC strong point.

The device comes with a mixture of HTC apps and also a number of applications which are reserved for Windows phone such as a new and improved social media option and the excellent carousel feature which comes in very handy when multi tasking.

The device also comes with DLNA streaming and the Watch app from HTC. This app allows you to stream movies much in the way of Love Film or other providers to your phone for a set fee every month. You can then stream lossless via DLNA to your TV allowing you to watch full HD footage on your television.

The phone comes with 8GB of memory so streaming is a great option for such a phone, as well as being useful it also is a great way not to eat up memory.

Overall we like the HTC, it may be a little thick, though is an attractive and very capable phone – a Window’s phone at that.
