HTC Wildfire

Sony Ericsson successfully launched the XPERIA X10 Mini, a downsized version of the famous XPERIA X10. Apparently, HTC is intrigued by the success and quickly dips its tow into the lower market segment by offering the new HTC Wildfire. Many mobile phone reviewers and avid mobile phone fans quickly notice how the HTC Wildfire looks like a downsized version of HTC Desire.

The HTC Wildfire offers superb 3G connectivity with HSDPA support of up to 7.2 Mbps. It features Android OS v2.1 Eclair as the base operating system, although an upgrade to Android OS 2.2 Froyo is also possible. Just like the HTC Desire, you will also get a multitouch screen as the main input method. Since this handset features smaller form factor, the screen is also smaller than the one used by HTC Desire; a 3.2” capacitive touchscreen is used for maximum usability.

The native Sense UI developed by HTC for the company’s Android-based phones can also be found in the new HTC Wildfire. Accessing features such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, built-in GPS receiver, and even the FM radio will be as easy as it can get with this amazingly fluid user interface.

Facebook, Twitter and Flickr are all integrated through Friend Stream, perfect for those who love to stay connected with friends and relatives at all times. You will also find the Android App Market available, so adding more apps and features to the handset will be as easy as 1-2-3. To complete the handset, a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with LED flash and touch focus is added.
