HTC Titan Release Date: Titan vs. Radar

Titan and Radar makes use of the new Windows Phone Mango 7.5 update.

With 500 new features, Mango is faster with less random reboots and hiccups, and does not require a dual-core processor to perform, making it a legitimate competitor with iOS 5 and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The brawny HTC Titan specifications include a single-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512 MB RAM, built-in 16 GB memory, 1600mAh battery, 4.7-inch 800 x 480 SLCD touch screen, 8-megapixel camera with 720pHD video recording and LED flash, front-facing camera, 1.3-megapixel camera for video conferences, 3G mobile hotspot support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, DLNA streaming, SRS surround support, and a full array of sensors.

The more-modestly priced Radar boasts the comfort factor. It is narrower with a more manageable 3.8-inch screen. The display does not have the extreme sharpness of the iPhone 4S's 960 x 640 pixel resolution retina display, topping out at 480 x 800 pixels, but it is a mid-range rather than a high-end device.

The updated Internet Explorer mobile browser is also significantly faster at rendering pages and there is now support for email conversation threading similar to iOS. All your contacts and social networking feeds are grouped together with the improved People Hub, which now includes LinkedIn and Twitter support.

Along with the three usual Windows Phone touch buttons, the Radar makes do with a combined power button, volume rocker switch and dedicated camera button. The phone also has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack as well as a microUSB port that is used for both charging and synchronizing, although the phone can also be synced over Wi-Fi like iOS 5.

The Titan, available on Nov. 20 on AT&T, retails unlocked for $699 or $199.99 with 2-year contract. The Radar retails contract-free for $489 or $99.99 with a 2-year contract from T-Mobile.
