The Verge - HTC Radar 4G: leaks, announce, release date, pictures and video

T-Mobile puts HTC Radar on sale a little early

2011-11-01T00:02:23Z

We were expecting T-Mobile to put the HTC Radar on sale on November 2nd, but it looks as though the carrier decided to jump the gun a bit. Instead, the white Windows Phone is available right now on T-Mobile's site for $99.99 on a two year contract — after a $50 mail-in rebate.

The Radar has Windows Phone 7.5 Mango on board out of the box, naturally, and HTC has added its Hub app and some software tweaks to the 5-megapixel camera. Want to know more? Be sure the check out our hands-on with the Radar.

HTC Radar 4G arrives on T-Mobile November 2nd for $99.99

2011-10-25T03:25:25Z

T-Mobile said it was coming in time for the holidays; T-MoNews said November 2nd was the precise day. HTC said it would cost less than $199. Turns out they were all right! Today, T-Mobile confirmed that the HTC Radar 4G will arrive on November 2nd for $99.99 on contract, bringing Windows Phone Mango to a 3.8-inch Super LCD display with a tricked-out 5-megapixel backside illuminated camera sensor and f/2.2 lens for snapping pictures.

T-Mobile's fall roadmap leaked: release dates for Samsung Hercules, HTC Amaze 4G, and more

2011-10-05T19:50:27Z

T-Mobile picked last November to launch the myTouch 4G, Motorola Defy and LG Optimus, and this fall is shaping up to be similarly huge, according to a product roadmap that TmoNews picked up. The company appears ready to bolster its lineup with nine new phones and three tablets in the course of three weeks, from October 26 to November 19.

Two Samsung tabets are on the roadmap — "Arnold," a Galaxy Tab 10.1 for T-Mobile, and "Robin," the Tab 7.0 Plus. The third tablet is a $199 Huawei tablet, the "Tallsome."

On the phone front, T-Mobile's got a new device for just about every conceivable user, some of which we've already seen. The Samsung "Hercules," which we found back in May and is almost certainly T-Mobile's Galaxy S II...

HTC Radar 4G coming to T-Mobile 'in time for the holidays'

2011-09-27T17:25:10Z

Rumored for some time, T-Mobile has confirmed that it is picking up the HTC Radar later this year. Unfortunately, the carrier isn't providing a hard release date or price -- saying only that it will arrive "in time for the holidays." T-Mobile is also appending the infamous "4G" to the end of the name, but absent a specific mention of it in the press release we're not thinking the Radar will be a 42Mbps-capable phone like the HTC Amaze 4G or Samsung Galaxy S II.

On the bright side, T-Mobile and HTC are keeping the all-white, aluminum unibody design. Specs on the Mango phone are otherwise the same: 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, a 1,520mAh battery, and a 5-megapixel camera. Beyond that, the Radar is a pretty straightforward,...

HTC Radar announced for October: 3.8-inch Super LCD display, Windows Phone Mango and our hands-on preview

2011-09-01T18:30:00Z

The second of HTC’s two new Windows Phones announced today, the mid-range HTC Radar comes equipped with a 3.8-inch Super LCD display, a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon SOC, 8GB of storage, 512MB of RAM, a 1,520mAh battery, and a 5-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor paired to an f2.2 lens for camera duties. Its external design is intentionally tailored to match that of HTC’s 7-inch Flyer tablet, with one single aluminum shell wrapped around the electronics inside. The Radar will come in white and silver variants when it launches in October, a white and a silver option, though be forewarned that neither of them will have a user-replaceable battery. The particular physical design of this phone looks to have made that a necessary...

HTC Omega (or Radar) leaks, could be launch device for Windows Phone 7.5 'Mango'

2011-08-25T23:14:35Z

An HTC phone allegedly codenamed "Omega" has appeared on PocketNow this afternoon in some convincingly realistic press shots. It's running Windows Phone -- which is convenient considering that Microsoft's Mango release is coming right up -- and is said to feature a 3.8-inch display, 8-megapixel camera, 512MB of RAM, and a 1.5GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 processor. Qualcomm's official specs for the MSM8255 only have it scaling up to 1.4GHz -- so either HTC's pushing the envelope on the clock speed, it's actually something lower like 1.4GHz, or the phone features a dual-core MSM8260 which does allow for 1.5GHz out of the box (the latter seems unlikely considering the middling display and RAM specs).
