HTC Wildfire

The Wildfire comes in and supplants the Tattoo as HTC's mid-range device, offering up the now established Sense interface running over Android 2.1. Changes from the Tattoo centre around improved build quality, a capacitive display and styling that owes much to the flagship HTC Desire handset.
Pros:
  • Ticks all the boxes on the spec sheet
  • great connected experience
  • easy to use
  • Android 2.1
  • great design
Cons:
  • Low res screen
  • low res video
  • crashes
  • occasional touch response slow down

HTC Wildfire review

The HTC Wildfire boasts impressive build quality and the full suite of Android features, but it has a low-resolution display and sluggish performance. When you consider its price though, these minor issues are much easier to live with and are a small compromise to pay for a handset that offers...

Pretty much the worst phone I've ever had.

I'm aware that it's an entry-level, but I've done a lot better for quite a bit cheaper on the smartphone side of things. I would honestly never get another HTC phone after owning this one. I know HTC have some high quality phones, and in comparison this one is just a toddler...
Pros:
  • All of the standard smartphone and android gimmicks.Pretty neat interface
  • Cool widgets, Honestly can't think of anything else..
Cons:
  • Awkward shape, slippery & difficult to hold
  • Freezes constantly
  • Insensitive screen
  • Messages take forever to display
  • Shows your own replies as new texts
  • Clumsy keyboard
  • Drops calls
  • Music player has a bad layout
  • Volume control is terrible

HTC Wildfire review

The HTC Wildfire brings the looks of the Desire, with a budget twist. It runs perfectly well on Android 2.1 and battery life is ample. However, the screen is the Wildfire's biggest failure and if you do stare at text all day, you may find that you have to step up a notch to the HTC Desire or even...

Although smartphone manufacturers are offering bigger and bigger screens on mobile phones - with the latest <a href="http://fwd.channel5.com/gadget-show/gadget-news"><strong>Samsung Infuse 4G</strong></a> boasting a huge 4.5-inch screen, not everybody wants a big phone.
Pros:
  • The HTC Wildfire sits at the affordable end of HTC's touchscreen smartphone empire, yet it still has a lot to offer
  • The 3.2-inch display makes it one of the smaller touchscreen handsets on the market, and it slips easily into pockets, Build quality is excellent, and the Wildfire has more in common...
Cons:
  • Although the HTC Wildfire is more than capable when it comes to specs, it suffers slightly during everyday use
  • There's more lag than you'll find on more expensive handsets, and the small screen also means a small onscreen keyboard.

Great starter phone for any tween!

Performance is great until the internal memory runs low. I had installed the Instagram, angry birds and picsart and just those three apps ran the memory low. I would constantly have to clear the cache and not to mention if you save pictures that also messes with the memory and it won't let you view...

It's an okay phone

My brother owns this phone and it is quite impressive. The only thing wrong with it is that when he inserts the sd card the phone spazzes a bit. If you are just looking for a phone too call text and use Facebook with then you'll love it.
