Our own Bonnie Cha had the chance to look over the HTC Titan and the HTC Radar a few months ago, but it wasn't until CTIA in San Diego that we had a chance to get proper First Look videos of them both.

Well, now here they are! Check them out to see if these Windows Phones are to your taste.

While the fall version of CTIA in San Diego did not prove to be the boring slow show that we thought it would be, it still didn't exactly wow us. Part of the reason was the timing of the show this year was almost incomprehensibly bad: not only is the iPhone 4S launching in the same week, but two of the year's most anticipated Android handsets--rumored to be the Motorola Droid Razr and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus--are slated to be announced a week after the event is over. Samsung and Google did plan to announce their new Ice Cream Sandwich phone at the show itself, but they ended up moving the launch not only to another date, but to a country across the globe. … Read more

This past CTIA may have held only one or two surprises, but thankfully, it also held 17 photogenic devices that were either brand-new to us, or which we've heard of, but hadn't seen before.

So here they are, all compiled together in one bright, easily perusable package. For more information--photos, video, our hands-on impressions--just keep clicking within the slideshow to learn.

Oh, Microsoft. It's no secret that I think you could and should do more to win hearts and minds over to Windows Phone's cause. I proclaimed it loudly a year ago, and I'll say it again today. By relying solely on your partner manufacturers to trot out your few Windows Phones this CTIA, you've missed another golden opportunity for showing off the goods.

That's a big problem. When Samsung and Google delayed their Ice Cream Sandwich and Galaxy Nexus unveiling, it left a void in the show that any number of companies could have stepped … Read more

SAN DIEGO--If you still can't use your own iPhone or Android smartphone for work, things may be changing.

At least, that's the intention of a lot of companies who gathered here this week for the CTIA Enterprise & Applications conference. One of the bigger themes of this year's show was getting businesses to jump on the "bring your own device" bandwagon.

There are a lot of benefits to such a trend. Employees can use the device they pick out, as opposed to a company-issued device that may not be as sexy (read: an old BlackBerry). … Read more

"Not another 7-inch tablet!" you say. Well, hold that thought and feast your eyes on the T-Mobile SpringBoard, first announced at CTIA.… Read more

SAN DIEGO--As we walked by the PCD booth here at CTIA, we noticed that Pantech had two phones up for display that we haven't seen before. They were the Pantech Jest 2 and the Pantech Hotshot.

The Pantech Jest 2 is slightly curvier and rounder than the Pantech Jest messaging phone we reviewed last year, and the screen size is a touch smaller at 2.4 inches.

The biggest improvement that the Jest 2 has over its predecessor is that it has a dual-mode GSM/CDMA chipset so it can be used internationally. This is one of a few … Read more

The interesting thing about CTIA's fall show is that you never know what you're going to get. We all expected it to be small this year, and it is, but it turned out far busier than we imagined. (Here's a look at Day 1.)

Ever since Google and Samsung pulled out of their big, not-so-secret secret event, we expected a quiet--and frankly boring--show. Instead, Nicole and I wound up shooting 16 videos last night and spent all of today getting you our photos and first impressions. In the meantime, Roger ran around like an interviewing machine. Here'… Read more

SAN DIEGO--As the HTC Sensation XL is currently only available in Europe and Asia, we leapt at a chance to take a look at it here at CTIA in San Diego.

It does seem a lot like the Android version of the HTC Titan, with its large and imposing 4.7-inch WVGA LCD display. It feels rather big in small hands, but the payoff is that you get a very generous and colorful display for watching videos or surfing the Web. It has HTC's usual excellent design aesthetic, with a slim silhouette and comfortable feel. The one we handled was white all around with a bit of silver on the back.

Features of the Sensation XL are impressive as well. It ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the HTC Sense 3.5 overlay, and is powered by a 1.5GHz single-core processor. You get 16GB of onboard storage, but it seems that it's not expandable, which seems odd to us. There's also an 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture, and it features several cool camera features like an automatic panorama mode.… Read more
