HTC Unveils TITAN And Radar Mango Smartphones

HTC today hosted a series of consumer meet-ups in London, Paris, Madrid and Berlin to unveil its new HTC TITAN and HTC Radar with Windows Phone smartphones.

The HTC TITAN has a 4.7 inch display, HTC's largest phone screen ever wrapped in an ultra-thin 9.9mm aluminum case. The HTC Radar is designed to keep you close to the people, news and entertainment that matters to you most.

Both HTC TITAN and HTC Radar include a dedicated hardware camera button which enables you to capture vivid images without unlocking the phone while the f/2.2 aperture lens and back-illuminated sensor provide improved low-light performance. With 28mm wide-angle lenses you can capture more of the scene in front of you while the new panoramic feature lets you create dramatic pictures of skylines and landscapes. Both devices can shoot bright and vibrant HD (720p) videos. And with the HTC Photo Enhancer, you can touch up pictures and upload them to Facebook, tagging your friends as you go using automatic face detection built in to Windows Phones.

HTC TITAN

With its 4.7 inch super LCD screen, an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.3 megapixel front facing camera for live video calling, HTC TITAN combines high performance with a super-slim 9.9mm curved body made from a brushed aluminium shell.

HTC TITAN is also a portable office that enables multitasking like viewing a presentation while you're on a conference call or listening to music while compiling an email. Advanced email features like Linked inboxes makes it easy to manage multiple email accounts, synchronize your to-do list and calendars in one place, group contacts to make communication simpler and faster, and even store your latest ideas and notes in the cloud with Microsoft OneNote. Typing on the HTC TITAN is quick and easy with the virtual keyboard on the 4.7 inch screen.

HTC Radar

Elegantly crafted with an aluminium unibody, HTC Radar features the new People Hub from Windows Phone. The People Hub keeps you up to date with your friends' latest news showing all of your communication history with each person, as well as their recent social network updates and photos. You can also stay in touch using SMS, Facebook chat and Windows Live Messenger in one conversation, without having to switch applications or disrupt the conversation flow. Alternatively, speak "face-to-face" with new video calling that lets you see your friends' faces on the 3.8 inch screen.

Both phones include HTC Watch ? an application and service that puts an entire library of the latest movies and TV shows right at your fingertips. Utilizing Virtual 5.1 surround sound for a rich audio experience, these phones are perfect for enjoying the Zune music service. Internet browsing is fast and smooth with HTML5 support. You also get an amazing mobile gaming with Xbox LIVE, giving you access to a selection of games for Windows Phone, which include features like Leaderboards and Achievement that connect you with your friends and the Xbox LIVE community around the world.

HTC TITAN and HTC Radar will be broadly available from October 2011 globally, beginning in Europe and Asia.
