P.S. On a side note, doesn't seem that HTC is gonna bring Titan here, at least for now. Probably due to the fact that HD7 was badly received in Malaysia, so they do not think there's a market of such a big screen phone in Malaysia.

Not sure buddy, but I think it would be at Mozart's old price point (1799?)

Don't quote me on that xD
It's just rumors that I am reporting on. By no means am I getting information from HTC Malaysia's mouth themselves. I just know that Radar is coming in now, and Titan is not. The information might not be accurate for all I know Maybe Radar's coming first then Titan might come in the future? I mean, even in the US, Radar is showing up on carriers database but Titan isn't yet.

Anyway, even at launch, Mozart's numbers did way better than HD7, I believe. Well, in the beginning, nobody wanted WP7, and even fewer wanted a 4.3" WP7. Most people that wanted 4.3"+ went for the Android variant, the Desire HD, the "latest" and "greatest" back then.

As of now, unsure, but probably open set.
Also, a not-100%-sure price: RM1399!

Confirmed: Radar's launch in Malaysia is with Sensation XE on 12/10. RRP 1399. Rhyme and Explorer coming later. Titan will not be coming to Malaysia.

Explorer is the new entry-level Android phone designed to replace Wildfire S..

Not coming to SG either. SIS is the distributor for SG as well, and they recently held a launch event for Rhyme, Explorer, Sensation XE and Radar. Also no Titan as well.

None of them. HTC is known to never cater to the budget market, only mid-segment and high end.
