HTC Radar gets two toned look

Just how much does a color scheme affect the desirability of a particular phone? I guess it really depends on what kind of data is received from all the market research done prior to communicating with the manufacturer as to select the kind of paint job said handset would receive. Well, the HTC Radar now carries two tones, mixing up both white and dark grey models to deliver a rather special look. The device will come with T-Mobile USA branding, and has already made an appearance on Microsoft’s US Windows Phone site. No idea on when the new look HTC Radar will debut on the market, or if this is just a red herring by the graphic designer over at Microsoft. So far, I have come across comments on the Internet that this is a big “Fail” – what do you think of the new color scheme? Is it something that would push you towards the direction of making a purchase, or would you rather settle for a different Windows Phone handset instead?
