Well, if you are not aware, let us inform you that the update will bring enhanced features to the HTC Radar owners, including new start screen, resizable live tiles, Bing lockscreen wallpaper, 20 color accents and more. However, the phone will still lack a Bluetooth file transfer feature, which is now available for Nokia Lumia devices.
