I've been really happy with the HTC Radar, having owned it for a few months now. Definitely not the highest specced WP7.5 device around, but it suits my needs and can be bought outright for a pretty reasonable price (I bought mine through Expansys).
Front-facing camera on it is a nice novelty for a Windows Phone (and possibly even useful now that Skype has been officially released!). 8Gb (not expandable) on-board memory sounds a bit limiting by today's standards, but it just means I have to be a bit selective about how much media I have on it at any one time, and it's never really been a big issue for me. Reliability has been excellent so far (touch wood), I think it has locked up maybe once in the whole time I have owned it, and stuff 'just works' (once you get used to the whole Metro experience and how to drive it fluently - give yourself a week with it and you should be fine). It's fairly light, screen is still nice and readable in direct sunlight, call quality is fine (does anyone still use a smartphone to make phonecalls?). So yeah, depends what you are looking for in a phone I guess - if a mid-range phone is not out of the question then the Radar is definitely worth a look.
