subject: Available Now - The Amazing Htc Wildfire [print this page] This summer has seen the release of many exciting new mobile handsets, and the HTC Wildfire can certainly count itself amongst this group. This phone, running on the Android platform is pitched at a more budget end of the smart phone market, but without the sacrifice of some top end features.
The HTC Wildfire really does excel when it comes to multi media usage. For those wanting to capture photographs whilst on the move, a 5 mega pixel camera facility is included. In order to maximise the quality of images, an autofocus has been included, making the whole process as simple as pointing and shooting. For those times when light is not ideal, night time, indoors etc, the inclusion of an LED flash will be welcomed. The Wildfire also stores location information on where each and every photo is taken thanks to a process named geo tagging. This offers a nice alternative to the traditional method of viewing files in date order. Sometimes a photo just cannot capture a moment perfectly, and for such occasions the ability to record video is a great option. The handset incorporates an FM tuner. This may appeal to people who maybe commute to work but still want to keep abreast of local or national news. Of course many people would rather listen to their own audio files and the device handles these well. MicroSD allows for memory expansion up to 32GB so hundreds of tracks can potentially be stored, and these sound great on pretty much a universal choice of headphones that can be used thanks to the phones 3.5mm headphone jack.
Android seems to be the OS of choice for many phone users and the HTC Wildfire runs on this platform. When teamed up with HTC's impressive "Sense" user interface a whole new element of fun and functionality is added . Sleek and colourful menus not only look good but work exactly how you would expect them to thanks to well considered programming. The current boom in social networking sites has been embraced by "Sense" in the form of its Friendstream features, which collates information from your various accounts and displays it all in one place, making it easier to read and less time consuming than using individual applications. The 3G, Edge, and GPRS connectivity ensures such features work with minimal fuss, and the experience is further enhanced at home thanks to Wireless LAN being offered, or in more simple terms, WiFi.
The HTC Wildfire positions itself perfectly in a gap between high powered smart phones and more basic feature phones, and at a surprisingly low price and boasting the well respected HTC name, the phone looks destined to be a huge hit.
