HTC Radiant LTE Windows Phone first Images leaked

Pocketnow have just posted  picture of a new Windows Phone smartphone.  HTC’s first LTE Windows Phone 7 handset.According to Pocketnow the phone in this picture which purports to be HTC’s first LTE Windows Phone 7 handset.

As it turns out, it looks just like your Titan but allegedly thicker for a larger battery. larger front-facing camera lens (which is sorely needed) and the right side buttons are skewed towards the bottom more

In terms of specs we can definitely guess a standard Windows Phone configuration (with the 1.5GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM and definitely the same sized WVGA screen like on the Titan). Because of the LTE capability, the 1,600mAh battery on the Titan should definitely be improved on the Radiant in order to power both the radio and the huge 4.7-inch display.   


And according to pocketnow source, this device is also going to hit Telstra Australia.

HTC and Samsung are preparing new LTE-equipped Windows Phone devices

HTC and Samsung are preparing new LTE-equipped Windows Phone devices. Both handsets will feature a pre-Tango version of Windows Phone that includes LTE support. HTC's 4G LTE Windows Phone is currently codenamed Radiant. This isn't the first time the codename has been mentioned, it was previously spotted running a post-Mango build of Windows Phone, originally thought to be codenamed Tango.


Samsung's 4G LTE phone will feature a large screen according to our source, pushing it beyond the 4.3-inch Samsung Focus S. The device is codenamed Mandel. Both handsets are expected to be made available in early 2012 alongside Nokia's LTE Windows Phone.


Microsoft has made no secret of its Windows Phone LTE plans and Verizon is clearly itching for a device. 


While we may not see the HTC and Samsung LTE devices in time for CES, February's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona looks like a good launch platform for them and any further additions to the Windows Phone stable.

HTC 4G LTE Windows Phone to hit AT&T in early 2012

HTC is currently set to deliver an HTC Titan-like smartphone with a 4.7-inch display and 4G LTE to AT&T — the first LTE Windows Phone we know of — and the release date is currently slated for February 5th, so we should expect a CES announcement. 

BGR has learned from a trusted source that HTC is preparing to switch up the company’s strategy a bit in 2012. In order to focus getting quality products to market, BGR has heard that HTC’s release schedule is going to be shockingly quiet for most of the first quarter next year. HTC will also release fewer phones overall in 2012 compared to 2011, we’re told. BGR will be given exclusive details surrounding several upcoming phones from the Taiwan-based vendor, including HTC’s first 4G Windows Phone for AT&T and its flagship Android handset for the first half of the year.

CNet: Verizon and AT&T Testing LTE Nokia Lumias

CNet has learned and first reported that both of the United States largest carriers are testingLTE devices from Nokia. LTE is currently unsupported on the current Windows Phone builds, but was recently revealed as a major feature keeping Verizon from jumping on board the Windows Phone train.

While neither a spokesman from the two carriers have commented on the report, it is widely believed that Nokia is pushing hard to come to the US with some cutting edge phones for both carriers. Rumors peg CES 2012 in January as a possible jumping off point for a Tango build which will support LTE and a device launch shortly after.

Of course, this is all speculation until we can get some further confirmation, but it should leave Verizon users especially with a little relief that they might see a new Windows Phone device very soon.

Nokia Ace to Land at AT&T in Early 2012, LTE–Ready

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia was rumored a few times before to plan the release of Windows Phone in the United States on the airwaves of AT&T sometime in January 2012, and some more proof on the matter has just emerged.

The mobile phone is said to be higher-end than the Nokia Lumia 800 that started to arrive on shelves since mid-November, and its specs list should confirm that.Rumor has it that the smartphone, supposedly called Nokia 900, will arrive on shelves with a large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, complemented by a 1.4GHz application processor, just as the Lumia phones.Moreover, the new device should be launched with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, as well as with 16GB of internal memory, and with enhanced connectivity capabilities.

The guys over at WMPoweruser have it under good authority that the smartphone will indeed be released in the first quarter of the next year, and that mid-March might be the timeframe for its arrival.

However, they also note that Nokia is keen on making the device available before that, even as early as late January.Codenamed Nokia Ace, the smartphone is also rumored to sport 4G LTE connectivity capabilities, and might actually be released on shelves as the first LTE handset from the Finnish giant.

Moreover, rumor has it that it would actually be the first Nokia Windows Phone to make it to the United States, and that Nokia Lumia 710, which was rumored recently to be unveiled at T-Mobile next week, might arrive on shelves after it.Apparently, Nokia is almost ready to make the new device official, hardware-wise, though it is waiting for the next Windows Phone release (the long-rumored Tango version) before making the move.

While AT&T is certain to have the mobile phone on its airwaves, Verizon is also said to have plans for it, though it’s uncertain whether it will have it available at launch.
