this phone better than htc radar

specs n price imo

This is true, the thing that is bothering me is not how much apps it would be, but everything need to be pay on windows marketplace. And the price is much higher than android or even IOS. Yes, even if we don't use apps occasionally, but i do fill my spare times playing games on my phones, and one of basic example is games on marketplace, everything $2.99 above, fukken expensive where else on android or IOS is FREE. Oh im not talking about high end games here, just a simple casual games is more than enough to be a good example. So that's where half a million apps comes in handy, when you got a lot of choices, for sure the price will be lower or FREE, you know, where demands get lower, the price goes low as well. If only the apps price is not ridiculously expensive, then WP7 is perfect. But like i said, as long as demands high, price will be high as well.

But the HD -> HD2 transition consisted of significant processor upgrade, significant OS upgrade, and significant software (Sense) upgrade.

Whereas Titan -> Titan2 is practically no changes... Will make some Titan users pissed that their new phone just got a new sucessor, but the truth is, it is not really a successor at all.

Marketing Nokia always win but what they can't win is quality assurance in their product and technical support.
Just imagine a user bought the phone then it lags then they change brand the perspective will change then due to bad brainwash among friends, vendor, reviews so people have this perspective of the product. Today is about branding and status. If u see someone holding Samsung it's common, if u see someone holding an iPhone he is rich, if someone holds a Nokia? If someone holds a htc its usually not bad if someone hold a Sony Ericsson its cheap
