HTC Wildfire review – does this super-cheap Android cut too many corners?
In this HTC Wildfire review, I'm not only going to review the Wildfire itself, I'll also show how it differs from the HTC Desire, the flagship Android phone that's been flying off the shelves all year.

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

- great Facebook integration
- great specs for the price
Cons:
- Low resolution display
- sometimes slow text input
- slow-ish processor

Lacks In Processing Speed.
the looks of the mobile phone is incredible, the back cover of the phone is of grey color with graphics on it. but the processor lacks in processing speed, though it is capable of performing the tasks easily but not the heavy and simultaneous operations.

Pros:
- Great social networking integration
- app sharing feature
- good value
Cons:
- Pixelated display
- occasional lags when running more than a few high memory apps

The HTC Wildfire is best described as a diet-HTC Desire. Meant for those on a budget, the Wildfire has the same looks as the Desire, and the same user interface in the form of HTC's Sense software. The only real differences are the size, screen and processor – and the price tag, of course.
