Earlier this week, my colleague notified me about this feature available on the Windows Phone. As curious as usual, I have decided to try it out on my Samsung Omnia 7 which is already ‘Mango’ed and I was left pretty impressed. Below is a simple video of how this feature works:

Currently, the voice recognition feature is available only for SMS and searches. I really wish that this feature could be integrated into more applications, like Siri on the iPhone 4S.

HTC Announces HTC Radar & HTC Titan

New WP7 Mango phones from HTC, named Radar and Titan have been announced! Expect it to reach the US by the late September 2011 and Malaysia…? Maybe somewhere around October 2011? Anyway, the specs for these phones are pretty impressive.

The awesome Titan, wields a 4.7-inch SLCD display, a 8MP back camera and 1.3MP front-facing snapper. It also boasts a 1.5Ghz processor, 512MB of RAM and 16GB of flash storage. HTC Radar, which is the lower-end release has a 3.8 inch LED screen and 1Ghz of processing power. Coming together with the Radar is also 8GB of storage space and a 5MP back camera.

Anyway, I do hope that HTC will improve their camera performance and quality this time around because their previously released WP7 devices such as HD7 and Mozart was so bad in the camera department that I ended up getting Samsung’s Omnia 7 instead.

For more information regarding these 2 devices, head over to Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 mini site for Radar and Titan and have a detailed hands-on with Engadget here.
