HTC Wildfire - Light On The Wallet, Heavy On Specs
Stanmore, UK ? HTC Corporation, the Taiwan based global
designer of smartphones has launched the HTC Wildfire?, a new HTC Sense-based
Android phone which brings friends closer to you through integration of the
popular social networks. HTC Wildfire follows the HTC Desire making the HTC
Sense experience accessible to a younger generation.
The HTC Desire will be
sought-after as it's one of the most powerful, best spec'd and impressive
devices to date. The Wildfire features the same metallic panel as on the HTC HD2
in the center and an optical trackpad right in the center, below the screen
making usage a smooth and easy experience. Though the display isn't OLED, it
feels large at 3.2 inches, with QVGA resolution. Typing, both in landscape or
portrait modes are much easier than on smaller-screened devices.
Getting over
the resistive touch screen featured on the Tattoo, the capacitive touch screen
is great for viewing and sharing photos and for surfing the internet. HTC
Wildfire enables 3G browsing experience with HSDPA 7.2 mbps. It is also
supported very well by Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and class 10 GPRS and EDGE. The other
prominent features of HTC Wildfire include Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, microUSB
v2.0.
Speaking at the launch of the
HTC
Wildfire, Florian Seiche, Vice President, HTC EMEA said, ?Today?s social
networks provide an essential forum for friendship with more than 400 million
users* - many of whom are young adults - actively sharing their lives with their
friends through Facebook. HTC Wildfire makes the HTC Sense experience available
to young mobile users for the first time. It brings all your communications into
one place, whether it?s through Facebook, Twitter, text messages, images or
email, ensuring that you are never far away from the conversation and always
close to your friends.?
The Wildfire operates on Android 2.1 which can be
upgradaded to 2.2 Froyo which means there are all the bells and whistles of the
Legend and Desire, including Friend Stream, animated wallpapers and better
Exchange functionality.The HTC Wildfire has the ability to share your downloaded
applications with friends through the App sharing widget built into the Wildfire
through the social networks or via email or text.
The HTC Wildfire is a
budget phone designed for those who want a smartphone but can't afford expensive
devices such as the Legend or Desire. The HTC Wildfire comes with a 5-megapixel
camera with flash, which performs on par with the flagship HTC Android devices.
The processor is speedy, despite only being Qualcomm's MSM 7200A 528 MHz
processor. The drawbacks of other HTC phones like the Tattoo have been rectified
with the HTC's Wildfire and it really does bring HTC into the budget Android
market, though it is not short of features. The new
HTC
Wildfire deals will be broadly available to customers across major European
and Asian markets from Q3 2010.
