HTC Wildfire is the friendliest phone around. It brings all of your friends and family members together on one screen. Whenever friends update their status on facebook, send out a tweet or add pictures to flickr it appears on your screen automatically. It even allows you to update your status on both facebook and twitter at the same time. You will never miss a beat or forget to comment. This palm size phone has you and the people who mean the most to you in mind with all of its new social features.
It is your personal pocket calendar showing you the birthdays of your friends when they call. It's the perfect feature for the easily forgetful. You can use the widget feature to find a select group of your closest friends and send them text messages, emails or a quick call all with a single tap. Conveniently choose which blogs or websites you would like to hear from and get selected news apps whenever they update. If you hate having to browse through different screens to get to the screens you use most often you will love the new home screen. Place seven of your most visited sites like google search or email on the home screen and tap it when you need to get to it in a hurry.
A discreet new ring feature has been added to the HTC Wildfire. Lifting the phone after it rings will make the volume go down automatically. If you would rather the caller leave a message simply turn the phone over and it goes straight to voicemail. This is most helpful when you are at the movies or in a meeting. The phone is also perfect for business with its built Microsoft exchange support you can find important contact information for everyone in the company whether or not they are stored into your phone.
The Kin by Verizon Wireless compares to Wildfire with its social networking capabilities. It has picture-dragging capabilities allowing you to drag a photo of someone on your friends list to the text message link and then type a quick message. It sends the message directly to the person in the photo. It also lets you update status on your facebook and twitter accounts at once. The Kin appears to be a bit more time consuming and complicated to maneuver. Though the Kin is good for social networking it does not appear to be good for anything else.
The best features of HTC Wildfire are the unexpected bonus features like the built in flashlight that illuminates darkness when a light switch is not nearby. Good for finding small objects on the floor that you lost. Its one touch dictionary for difficult words you may encounter throughout the day or its translation tool and Wikipedia look up. Meet a native Spanish speaker? Translate a complete sentence in minutes. You also get an FM radio that lets you listen to your favorite radio personalities at their designated times throughout the day.
