    Vendors are starting to release 2nd generation Windows Phone devices with the 7.5, aka Mango, operating system preloaded out of the box. The first Mango device to arrive is the HTC Radar 4G from T-Mobile and it is available for just $99.99 with a 2-year contract.

    Check out my full ZDNet Smartphones & Cell Phones blog post with a video walk through and more thoughts on using the device.

    You will find a low res front facing camera above the display on the Radar 4G. At this time you cannot use it with anything though with the Tango application eventually launching. Hopefully the Skype software comes with video support now that Microsoft owns Skype.

    The HTC Radar 4G looks like the little brother to the HTC Flyer Android tablet with a very similar back design.
