An evolution program driven by a desire to convince pre paid mobile phone users to step into the world of Smartphone's has been launched by Telstra and HTC with the launch of a new very straightforward and no-nonsense low cost new Android 2.1 HTC Wildfire Smartphone that is rich in new software
Pros:
  • : This is yet another slick phone from HTC
  • More importantly it delivers a lot of capability for people who cannot afford or do not want to pay for an expensive $900 Smartphone
  • Compared to the new iPhone 4 there are not too many features in the $999 that are worth an additional $650.
Cons:
  • : There is nothing shabby about this phone
  • However there is one capability that I would like to see and that is a better capability to eliminate applications
  • The Samsung S from Optus choked in a lot of crap applications.

The fact is that this device – as I can remember one of the few smartphones from the company HTC, which is not overvalued at the start, that is, the price / quality ratio for Wildfire excellent even for the "white" option at the beginning of sales.
Cons:
  • Capacitive touchscreen
  • Running on Android 2.1
  • Screen isn't massive
  • Low res screen
  • Camera is not as good as the HTC Desire's
