The original HTC Wildfire smartphone for pay as you go market Android platform and its successor chose an evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade. HTC Wildfire's have the same and medium-sized, capacitive touch screen 3.2 and 5 megapixel camera as the original model, but it comes equipped with a higher resolution, a slightly faster processor and wrapped in a smaller and lighter frame.
HTC Wildfire's is basically a smaller, less powerful version of the HTC desire's now midrange. Although addressed to a young, budget-conscious audience, still wildfire's build quality is excellent. Used HTC's famous unibody aluminum design, which means Wildfire's case is built on a single block of aluminum. The result is a smartphone that is compact, light and a joy to hold and use.HTC deserves praise for wildfire's design and in particular to make a phone with a minimal footprint. Despite packing a faster processor, more memory and a better resolution than the original forest fire, wildfire's smaller and lighter than its predecessor. For users who are discouraged by the major phones, becomes wildfire's compact size is a breath of fresh air.HTC Wildfire's shredding optical trackpad that was used in the original model, and instead choose now standard four touch sensitive keys: Home, menu, back, and search. The keys themselves, work well, but are easy to press accidentally, due to the small screen. A natural power/lock button on the top and fitted to left side volume controls are easily accessible.Cheaper Android phones are shipped commonly with some compromises that often revolve around the display and the HTC Wildfire's is no exception. Although the increased resolution of 320 x 480 pixels over its predecessor, 240 x 320 pixels is welcome, show fares poorly in direct sunlight, have mediocre angles and does not reflect the text well.Thankfully, the screen is sensitive to touch and this causes a gratifying user experience text input is quite cramped with small size on the screen. Haptic feedback and excellent spelling correction support typing experience, but it can often be painful long text input.HTC Wildfire's running the latest 2.3 "Gingerbread" version of Google's Android operating system, along with the latest version of HTC's sense user interface. These consist of extras including "skins" that changes the appearance of windows, however, and lock the screen. There are seven home screens for widgets and shortcuts, and an app-menu that can be sorted by all, frequent or retrieved.Most of the popular HTC extras are included even if the car dashboard (intended to be used when you run), "My shelf" app (for storing and reading e-books) and fender Keychain tuner keypad (for quicker text input) are known. We love the fact that common sense shows eight recently used programs at the top of the Panel, messages of a horizontal scroll bar, along with quick setting switches including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hotspot, GPS, mobile network and a link to all Telefoninst?llningar. HTC Wildfire's has also some features that carry over from its predecessor. There are "next generation caller ID" feature that allows you to see Facebook updates and birthday information when making or answering a call, along with the ability to import contacts and calendar entries from your old mobile phone via Bluetooth on the settings menu, even if the HTC Wildfire's has more memory (512 MB compared with 384 MB) and a slightly faster processor than Wildfire (600 MHz, compared with 528 MHz), there is no significant improvement in performance. Most tasks take one second or two longer than the more powerful Android phones and Wildfire's can often fight as you browse through the images in the Gallery, loading Web pages, play videos and taking photos.Introduction of HTC's sense UI is probably the cause of slow performance, the company recently discovered with his desire Android phone. Know clearly uses more system resources than most other Android UI overlay, and the result is a phone that looks slick, but who can sometimes stumble along.HTC Wildfire's has a 5-megapixel camera with a single LED flash, but there is no front-facing camera for video calls. Rear camera also serves as a standard definition (VGA) video camera. Flash works quite well in dim lighting and video recording of a decent quality.Like most of HTC's other Android phones, wildfire's camera has a variety of settings, including image effects that negative and sepia, combined with the possibility to adjust ISO, sharpness, saturation, contrast and exposure. We love the fact that you can use the external volume controls like Zoom keys, along with the on-screen controls that rotates depending on how you hold the phone. The lack of a physical camera shutter key is a slight irritation.Wildfire's has 512 MB of internal memory, but comes with a microSD card slot, the battery life on the HTC Wildfire's is standard for an Android phone. It will last for a whole day at most times, however, you will, of course, more use of fine-tune settings for synchronization. We recommend adjusting the push settings for email, as well, tweaking the Facebook and Twitter updates through sense software for optimal battery life.
