The Wildfire S is the follow up handset to HTC's popular Wildfire smartphone, which emulated the high class features of the HTC Desire in a more affordable package. The Wildfire S features a similar 3.2" display to the original, but comes with a lower colour count of 256k colour and a higher pixel resolution of 320 x 480. It also comes with an improved version of Google Android in the form of Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The Wildfire has achieved the status of an excellent touchscreen handset because it managed to fuse a great degree of messaging and entertainment features into a more affordable handset. The Wildfire S manages to bring these features more up to date while still managing to retain the cost effectiveness. The Wildfire S comes with 3G and Wi-Fi connections making it an ideal messaging phone and perfectly suited for all forms of mobile web activity.
The Wildfire S comes with threaded SMS as well as email support and support for instant messaging clients like Google Talk. It also comes with fantastic social network integration for social networks like Facebook, so you can keep up to date with your online friends while on the move. The Wildfire S also comes with a fantastic HTML web browser and thanks to the GPS system you can make use of services like Google Maps.
The Wildfire S comes with YouTube support so that you can enjoy streaming online video content, and the phone's media player comes with excellent music and video support as well. With the Wildfire S's 5 megapixel camera you can also record your own videos to enjoy for later. With microSD cards you can have over 32GB of storage space to contain music and video content which is more than enough room for most people.
The camera also comes with an LED flash and features like geo-tagging. With Picasa and Facebook integration you can also easily upload photos to share with friends. A secondary front facing camera is present on the Wildfire S allowing you to make video calls. The Wildfire S also comes with many fantastic touch screen games available with many more available from Android Market.
The Wildfire S comes with some excellent messaging features for email, instant messaging and popular social networks like Facebook. There is plenty of entertainment to be had with the media player, touchscreen games as well as online content. The Wildfire S is superb for general web browsing and comes with an excellent camera for such an affordable handset.
The Wildfire S manages to come in a more affordable package mainly by not having features that are as cutting edge as those found on more expensive phones. For example, there are faster 3G and Wi-Fi connections now available on smartphones, but the Wildfire is still amply endowed in this department and provides enough to keep you satisfied with all endeavours that it has on offer. The Wildfire S is available in black, brown and silver.
