I purchased this as a replacement for Samsung Galaxy S. My frustrations with the Galaxy S were responsiveness and freezing up. So far, I really enjoy the Windows user interface; it is very smooth and easy to add and delete items. One tning I don't like so far is the user interface. I may have to making some adjustments so it's not as big a factor. The size and feel of this phone are great. Very substantial and more metal than plastic. The screen is smaller--as compared with some of the newer phones--but it has great clarity. I am enjoying the variety of ringtones as well; a nice switch.
I am an old coger and this is my first smart phone. After almost a month, I am still learning what the phone will do and can't do. I like it, but I definitely have some frustrations with it. Calling support has been useless, but the staff at the local T-Mobile store have been very helpful, but some issues apparently don't have a fix. The Good.....Screen sensitivity is good even with protective film. It's good at capturing a cell signal and holding it for the duration of the call. The speaker is loud and clear. Navigating is easy. The voice recognition for dictating text messages, etc., is very good. It feels solid and has more heft than some smart phones. The Bad.....The ring time is only about 17 seconds (about 19 seconds with first vibration). There is no adjustment and support is useless and ignorant about this. It should be at least 25-30 seconds, for sufficient time to put down tools, and/or dig the phone out of a pocket or purse. It constantly freezes my computer (Windows XP Pro) whenever I try to sync the phone to it and once again support is friendly and useless. So, I am unable to download or upload anything to or from my computer. My four cameras, MP3 players, Ipod, etc have no problem syncing, only my Windows based phone can't work with my Windows based computer. Grrrrrrr...... The Ugly......a mediocre selection of apps available and not all that easy to find the ones that are available. You have to really dig to find apps. And sure enough, the one app and tool that I really want (Square credit card reader) is not and will not be available for Windows.Read full review
Great windows based phone for those who are wanting the iPhone feel and quality with a smaller price tag. I have owned both Android and iPhone and good and not so great about both. I had the HTC Sensation and liked it alot, but after my daughter got this one for Christmas I liked it and sold mine for the Radar also. I do miss the swype texting, but the Radar seems to have better resolution and camera. I also prefer the size overall of the Radar, like the iPhone, but lighter weight. Great phone!
I love using this phone! I lost my Htc MyTouch then started using my old back up phone which was a a Nokia 5530 Xpress Music, it was not really a smartphone so I was itching to have something to to be on par with my old MyTouch. I decided on this phone and I got exactly what was described in all reviews i looked at. There are some features it doesn't have because windows phones are fairly new but I really like it and does everything I want it to do most of the time. I would recommend this for first time Windows Phone users, either this or hold out for the Nokia Lumia 900, if you have the service it's under (I have t-mobile). The phones easy to use looks sleek and clean, i watch Netflix on it all the time and batter life is a little better than my old Android so Overall I'm pleased with my choice ^_^.Read full review
This is a first rate alternative to an iphone. I had an iphone 3gs for about 2 1/2 years and I was a little worried about giving it up. I was thinking about getting a iphone 4g but AT&T and Verizon are just too expensive. I heard Apple gets $19 per month for every iphone used which is what drives up the monthly bill. I loved my iphone but if you can back away from the hype, this phone proves that there are just as good options out there in the world. Easy to use. Crisp screen display and good operating system design. I like it way better than android. It's got it's own cool way of working, doing things and navigating that I like better than the iphone interface. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has only 8 gigs memory and no SD slot. There is not an alternate version with 16 gigs. If it had some more memory as an option, I think it would be the perfect phone. I suppose you can use the Skydrive and keep stuff off the phone. I saw somebody picking on it for being small but again, it's about the size of an iphone which is obviously it's target audience. I like the size of it. Fits in your pocket. For a person who doesn't want their phone to be the "be all" "end all" device in their life it's great. It's a phone for crying out loud. ...........Why is this a good choice? If you want to try out the savings of T-mobile don't get fooled....T-Mobile can not run the iphone quite correctly in most markets. They cannot support the iphone visual voicemail at all. (That was a real deal killer for me.) The iphone runs at 2g in most markets on T-mobile. To me the interface is just as good or better than the iphone. Do yourself a favor, try this thing out, like it, and save $50 a month in service fees ($600 per year). Runs at 4G. Voice texting works great. My 17 year old daughter has a G2X Android and wanted an iphone but when I let her try my new Radar 4G she said she'd take it as a substitute all day long. That's saying something.Read full review
