Desire goes Mini
The HTC Wildfire is also known as the Mini HTC Desire. This isn't so strange when you think about it. The GSM does actually also look a lot like the Google Nexus One, which of course is also made by HTC. For example, the touch sensitive buttons are almost the same as the ones on the Nexus. The looks and colors are almost identical and besides the size it's hard to tell which is which. A small difference is the micro USB gate that's now on the side instead of the bottom of the phone. The design will never be the problem of the HTC Wildfire. The weight is little, just like the amount of money it costs. And with just 13 millimeters it's almost an extension of your hand. But sure indeed, the Wildfire could definitely be a little brother of the Desire.
Update me now
Social networking is definitely the key point of the Wildfire. And it's extremely simple to stay up to date on the android Wildfire with friends, family and other connections in your social networks. Take some photos or shoot a short film and forward them online with the pre-installed applications for Facebook, Youtube or Twitter. The stylus is gone, and the Wildfire has a touch screen with the main buttons below. A so-called pinch-to-zoom screen makes scrolling through the seven screens easy. Photos and film spread like Wildfire online. With the Friendstream you can see in return what everyone else is doing.
Socially decided
Because it's focused on social networking, HTC used those networks to decide what the name of the phone would be. So before the HTC Wildfire came out, users got to choose the name of the upcoming phone. A poll resulted in a staggering 50% win for Wildfire', over Zeal, Jovi and Festi. Now the users also seem to win, because the Wildfire isn't overprized and is very advanced. Besides, what kind of name is Jovi?
Online always
You reach those social networks within no time. The Internet on the HTC Wildfire is quick and easy. The smart phone picks up almost any connection available (for example GPRS, UMTS and GSM) and therefore has to think about connecting every now and then. This happens to every phone so no need to worry. It doesn't have any influence on the speed of the Wildfire and the connection itself remains quick. Log on to the Web!
Strike a pose!
Let's talk cameras now. With 5.0 megapixel the camera equals serious photo taking possibilities. Nowadays a smartphone needs at least a 5.0 mp camera and the Wildfire doesn't disappoint. Of course you can put the material online immediately. Geotagging is possible thanks to GPS and no way you're getting lost every again: Google Maps and HTC Footprints has already been installed. Do you want to tape your own wide screen movies? Easy as Wildfire.
