At the moment nothing is confirmed but as soon as we know more we will keep you informed.

What about HTC Titan calling issues ?
Rumors about an antenna gate problem began to flood the web when a lot of people encounter trouble with reception and calling on the HTC Titan. The specifics of the issue are still unknown, but HTC responded and confirmed that they are aware of the problem and has people tasked with looking for a solution.
This upgrade rate of Windows Phone is making me think about jumping from Android, but I still wonder whether I’ll do it. Price will be key. If MS subsidise their handsets vs Android, then I may be tempted even more. Only prob, subsidy is likely to be with Nokia rather than HTC…
I’m working on my review of the HTC Radar right now and can say that I’m pretty impressed with the evolution of Windows Phone. The main issue I still have with the platform is push notifications. App developers now have the ability to integrate notifications, but I’ve only come across a few that actually use it. It’s a pain to manually have to open your twitter app to see if you have any new tweets.
I have one htc radar, and i love this phone, WP have some work to do in the S.O, but the system is very stable, never stops, crash, reset or freezes here.
the update dont come to my phone yet, lets wait. 7740 here.
The phone is too good, but I am facing signal reception problem. My old nokia phone shows 5 bars signal strength, whereas the Titan displays 1-3 bars, and that fluctuates every second, frequent call drops and voice breaks.
Just open the back cover, hold the antenna points, it will show full signal which clearly proves there is antenna issue.
The phone is too good, but this signal reception problem has made the phone useless… 🙁
