This will be the first Windows Phone-based device with T-Mobile that’ll be rocking the 4G speeds (or at least the “4G” that T-Mobile uses with its HSPA+ network). The smartphone gets its grunt from a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. There’s also 8GB of on-board storage and a 3.8-inch LCD touchscreen display, as well as a 5MP camera and a dedicated camera button.

The previously revealed HTC Titan is considerably larger with its 4.7-inch screen and 1.5GHz processor, but the Radar 4G is no slouch either. Expect to see it “in time for the holidays.”

On the Google-leaning side of the 4G equation is the HTC Amaze 4G, which is also making its way to T-Mobile. Like its WP7.5 cousin, the Amaze will also get its high-speed wireless data via T-Mo’s HSPA+ network. The operating system of choice here is Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, which is still par for the course for Android smartphones until Ice Cream Sandwich shows up.

The HTC Amaze 4G gets a 4.3-inch qHD touchscreen, dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon, 1GB of RAM, 8MP camera, NFC capabilities (a first with HTC?), dual LED flash, full 1080p HD video recording, and a 2MP front camera. This is being touted as a cameraphone, so the rear cam also has SmartShot (takes five photos and combines them into a “perfect” image), BurstShot, SweepShot panorama, ClearShot HDR, and Perfect Pics (groups photos together).

This ships on October 12 for $259.99 on a two-year contract after $50 mail-in rebate.

One way to set off Windows Phone 7.5 Mango with a bang is to release the largest smartphone that your company has ever produced. That seems to be the strategy being taken with HTC, because here is the HTC Titan. It is indeed the largest smartphone from the Taiwanese company ever, boasting a godly (see what I did there?) 4.7-inch WVGA 480×800 pixel display.

No, that’s not quite as big as the recently revealed 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note or even the now discontinued 5-inch Dell Streak, but it’s still pretty darn big. Power comes by way of a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5GHz processor, mated with a 512MB RAM, 16GB storage, 8MP (f/2.2) camera with back-illuminated sensor, dual LED flash, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, 3G, and 1600 mAh battery. Despite its footprint, the Titan is only 9.9mm thin.

If you want to do the Mango thing but don’t want the monstrous size of the Titan, there’s also the HTC Radar. It’s a little more reasonable with its 3.8-inch WVGA display, but the rest of the specs get bumped down too. It’s only a 1GHz processor and 5MP camera, along with just 8GB of internal memory. The Radar is also a little chubbier with 10.9mm of girth.

Both phones are expected to launch in Europe and Asia some time next month. No official word on pricing, but Amazon UK has the Titan on pre-order for GBP 489.99 and the Radar for GBP 349.99.
