@lovesmebetter you can do video chat as this phone has a front facing camera so this would support it, at the moment though no you cannot skype because skype have not created an app for windows mobile but it is going to be released soon (hopefully this month if they stick to their word!!)
1 thing you forgot is that you can use voice control like the iPhone 4s just hold down the main button on the bottom and it will pop up you can text people like that and you can use it as a gps like that to and also there's 2 more camera features thees burst shots it take 5 photos rapidly like a professional camera and the panorama picture it takes 3 pictures and stiches them together to make a tall or wide picture i love this phone and also if you link up your xbox account you get achievements
I'm on T-Mobile, I have the opportunity to get this phone tomorrow if I want as a late Christmas gift. But T-Mobile is coming out with the Nokia Lumia 710 with Windows Phone 7.5 as well. I want to know if it is worth waiting for, or if I should just get this. I like a responsive phone, with a front facing camera and good battery life.
@19Stifler96 Actually, you can. Took me forever in a chat session on T-mobile to figure out, but... You can download the app from the Windows Marketplace for free. From the Start screen, swipe left. Tap Marketplace. Tap apps. Swipe left. Tap all. Swipe right to view a list of free applications. Scroll to, and tap YouTube or HTC YouTube. Tap install.
Note: If you do not have a Windows Marketplace account set up on your phone, you need to set one up.
@iNaturalTy No. My friend has the HD7 and I just got my HTC Radar. The only thing the HD7 has over the Radar is the Removable Battery, the SD card slot and the 4.3 inch screen. The Radars screen is crispier and it has a front facing camera. It also has surround sound.
@1h1kfighter its not an app, its built in the phone. You press the search button and then there is a little icon on the bottom of the Bing page called Bing vision that allows you to take a picture of words and translate it.
Still paying on my G2x(October 13th), but I would happily pay full price($400!! Woohoo!) for this phone and just Craigs the G2x or keep it as a spare. HBD to me in December!
@SepurbOne that's exactly what I did. I kept my g2x and got the radar on upgrade. Love the radar 4g, its so much more fluid then the g2x which I didn't think was possible given the dual core awesomeness of the g2x. With that said, gaming on the g2x is far far superior and u can play a simple game like angry birds and see a a heck of a difference.
Single core processor, only 5megapixle camera, only 720p recording, and only 8gigs of space. Don't bother. For a hundred dollars more just get an iPhone 4s or a up to date droid.
@bobbyright2010 "only" 5mp camera? the sensor is far better than almost ANY smartphone out right now. its not about the MP. 720p and 1080p there is barely a difference from what the human eye can see. unless you are using a tv bigger than 50" there isnt much of a difference. and 8gb is kind of a draw back though, still a great phone though.
I have the HTC 7 Pro and I can assure you all that Windows Phone 7 is the best mobile operating system when it comes to smoothness and simplicity. It does everything I want it to do and more. I also love Zune integration. My heart still goes to Android though simply for the customization and application support.

What's that black rectangular shape at the far left corner, onto of the "HTC" label, of the phone? Is it a notification sensor or somewhat?
