HTC Radar, one of the first new smartphones to arrive on shelves with the Windows Phone Mango OS on board, was just launched in Hong Kong, and some very interesting features were shown off at launch.

Among them, we can count integration with Kinect/Xbox, which offers users the possibility to enjoy controlling games via their handsets.

As can be seen in the video above, available from the said launch event, courtesy of digital.sina.com.hk, the said connection between the Mango-based device and Kinect enables a user to control waves in a game.

The game is running on a laptop and receives input from the smartphone, suggesting that Microsoft might soon bring some more gaming capabilities to its handset users.

Windows Phone 7 already has Xbox LIVE integration, yet the platform still has to show some good gaming capabilities, some might argue.
