HTC Announces Radar and Titan

JasonSCarter

HTC announced two WP7 Mango devices today:

The Titan looks pretety sweet...and the Radar is a dissapointment to me in terms of spcs, especially the ammount of storage on board.

I really hope Verizon's next WP7 device is something in line with the specs on the Titan, and not something like the Radar.

Titan looks like the specs I've been waiting for. Slap a TP2 keyboard on it and I'll be waiting for midnight to roll over on launch.

Except I doubt it'll be coming to VZW ever, and finding a good phone with a good keyboard is well, one comes around about once every two years. And the Pro7 didn't even come to VZW...

I think though I would still pick up a Titan without a keyboard to be honest. Those specs are too hard to pass up and the screen is actually big enough to handle a touchscreen qwerty.

Hopefully VZW's been listening but some how all they seem to care about is how many Droids they can sell.

Come on VZW, PLEASE.... Don't make us wait for the Nokia phones. Because that's seriously my last hope and I don't want to wait another year for that. My TP2 is like 2-3 generations behind now.

I use to be a keyboard guy too, but trust me, a phone with a capistive touch screen and a good on screen keyboard like WP7 has, you won't mind not having one.

In all honesty, I think they are on the way out. I wouldn't even want one anymore. I like the phone to be thinner and more slick looking. Can't do that with a keyboard. Just something to drive the price up thats not needed with the size screens of phoens now, and the improvement with on screen keyboards.

I tried the HTC Trophy for a week and couldn't get rid of it fast enough - I like WP7, but I missed my keyboard too much.

I've had my Trophy since the day after internet release, and thought I would miss the keyboard after having had a slide out since 2006, but I miss it FAR less than I had expected. The capacitive screen and on screen keyboard are good enough that I believe I can type faster with it than I ever could with my slide-outs. There are times that I miss it, but they are increasingly rare.

Totally agree...

I agree, Titan is the bomb! I realy like the larg display size...

Can't find Trophy new anywhere. Holding out for Titan now. Gave up on a Win phone with a keyboard a few weeks ago.

Plz stop trying to sell me a Droid. Every model is obsolete within two weeks...

I want a Windows phone. Still extremely impressed with my old TP2. It's doing its darndest to stay alive for me...

Where are you Vzw? I have money. Need new phone. Windows phone.

Thx.

I have Trophy, but am holding out for Nokia to bring a higher quality WP device to VZW. According to the rumor mill, that's the case. We shall see.....

Looks like there has been no chat for two months. Any chance Verizon is going to release a Titan. My phone contracts are just about to expire and I am thinking of switching to ATT to get the Titan. I would love to go to a Win phone but want a big screen. I am not going to sign a two year contract on a Trophy...

Titan is a GSM 4G phone (ATT exclusive) that won't work on CDMA or Verizon. It won't be on Verizon ever. If you want premium devices (any system) leave Verizon.

The Titan is mindbogglingly incredible but not fo Verizon peeps

At this point with all the Mango phones being 4G (titan, radar, both samsungs) and Verizon pimping 4G/Droid they will need 4G to rationalize a marketing effort. The delay in releasing Trophy to summer also no-doubt tied into their xmas WP7 and device plans.

Sorry Verizon people but CES is your next possible announcement and hope for the rumored Nokia LTE or other Mango 4G device (which MS has said is ready to go software wise unlike cdma back at Nov '10 launch)

keyboard is a total waste with WP7. If you can't type in portrait just turn sideways (any device the WP7 keyboard works great)

JasonSCarter

Yeah, CES is when we will find out IF anything is coming. If not there, I am losing all hopes of anything WP related from Verizon until next summer. Even if something is annouced at CES, it will be like April or May before we see anything. Verzion was pretty late even getting the Trophy into the mix (May 2010) when Sprint had their CDMA WP7 phone out in March.

1. Don't believe this for a minute. Trophy started as a GSM phone in Europe. Arrive started as the Pro 7, a GSM phone in Europe. Just because a phone is currently GSM doesn't mean that it won't be made to CDMA. If so, we wouldn't have Trophy, and Sprint wouldn't have Arrive. This is not to say that it WILL come to Verizon, but that it COULD.

2. Rumor has it that Nokia is in "serious" talks with US carriers to bring a high end CDMA phone to America - the Nokia 900 is rumored to be a Verizon-bound phone. Rumor, but let's see how it pans out.

at&t gets exclusives. trophy did not come to at&t for an obvious reason... it locked up 3 WP7 exclusives. Then it got HD7s after a 6-months TM exclusivity and now has 3 more exclusives with the HDs7 and Focus still available. All superior to any Verizon phone shipping today or in the forseeable future.

You can hope and dream and stomp and pout but Verizon is NOT getting the Titan

Nokia seems to be the best hope for Verizon deperate customers Again common sense dictates with the Trophy a $0-49 device a 4G "superphone" WP7 device (from Nokia, exclusive to verizon) is more likely
