I would say it looks good if your on a budget good camera etc but if you can afford a more expensive phone get another android phone. such as the desire or the desire hd which i have and find fantastic or the samsung galaxy s that people tell me is quite good.I would defiantly recommend the android operating system though i like it a lot.

I hear that the HTC HD2 is a good phone and you can hack it to get it onto android. Not a Samsung fan myself. And the Deside looks abit cheap and the Desire HD iw well out of my budget, lol

 

[Reaver85]

ive just had a look at the HD2 and yeah it does look quite good only thing that would put me off is the windows operating system as i know people that have have problems with it but if you can hack it and put android on it id say go for it m8

Wildfire very good for a budget phone. Screen resolution lets its down, but otherwise its a great wee handset.

+1

I've just got one, I'm really pleased with it . I think the Screen is still great, so that doesn't bother me.
Only thing is, its not so powerful, and not running Froyo 2.2 yet, so some of the apps/games aren't available on it.

 

[JJ!]

A lot of the apps/games will never be available as they don't support the resolution (such as angry birds!)

 

[James28]

yea that too, I was disappointed to find that ! But Still, great phone for the price I think.

 

[daydotz]

how do you find battery life ?

 

[Goodj]

chews through data like a mo fo, especially if using hotmail.

check the "unlimited" caveats on contracts, 500mb is the usual "fair usage" policy, after which you get thoroughly bummed.

 

[James28]

I've found battery good pretty good tbh, for a smartphone.
I only use the wifi connection, so don't have to worry about data .

 

[James28]

Had it a few more days, its when you try and play some games you really notice the less powerful hardware, and lower resolution screen.

 

[172-Tom]

I got a HTC HD2 in the end. Is there anywhere ither than Windows market place you can get apps for Windows phones??

 

[J203425]

If I were you I'd ditch the Winmo 6.5 and get froyo installed on it ASAP

 

[Dink]

yeah i bought a hd2 the other day and it is a much better phone with andriod on it.

have a look here

More I use the wildfire, more I like it! Quite a compact and fun device if you understand its limitattions!

 

[Brasseye]

DON'T be tight you know to get the desire

 

[alex-avfc]

My Mum has it...it looks decent but it's not very intuitive to use like the iphone I find.

 

[James28]

Android 2.2 (Froyo) is out on the Wildfire now, I downloaded it OTA yesterday.

 

[Goodj]

Wildfire is the cheaper sibling of the others in the HTC range.

 

[Damo_Sport]

Im looking at getting one of these

 

[jemmymoore]

well for now the successor to htc wildfire is wildfire S and it has got 3.2-inch touch screen with 320 x 480 display resolution and has Gingerbread Android 2.4 version OS with special htc sense technology ie TouchFLO 3D user interface so this seems to be an advanced version of wildfire legacy. Previous version had only android 2.1 and there after to 2.2 Eclair version.

Moreover htc offers 5 megapixel color camera with auto focus and flash as compared to its close competitor ie ZTE blade which has similar specs. Both the phones have only primary camera but resolution differs and quality as 5 megapixel will have higher resolution and to me according to my requirements like browsing, gaming, watching videos as well as capturing high quality videos all in one can be easily fullfilled by it.

HTC Wildfire S rocks

 

[Tom]

LOL, no it doesn't "Rock" Its crap. Copy and paste all you like. But its a low end phone that wont last long in today's market.

Actually hold on, its a bot.

 

[Scrooge]

Mines s**t tbh, battery is crap, resolution is crap, if it has more than two text messages stored it goes mad and it's slow at everything! Butttt.... it's cheap


In fact it's that s**t I miss my G1, why o why did I take it in the bathroom with me:dapprove:

 

[maty j]

I've not long bought a wildfire and looking to upgrade allready. It's not bad but too slow for me, Some apps arn't available as the processor isn't fast enough. I don't know what to get next but looking at the desire or HD desire so far but don't think I couldbring myself to pay £270 or so for a HD. What are the samsung offerings like?

 

[united77]

The phone is good but only if you are not wishing to utilize this phone for gaming and watching high quality videos coz honestly the phone lacks better display resolution. The touch sensitivity is best and camera quality is average. Over all htc wildfire is best for individuals like me wishing to utilize a phone for calling, web browsing and for music along with a touchscreen at low cost. Currently i am using this phone and as per its cost this phone deserves KUDOS from me:clap:. Atleast htc wildfire is better than other expensive and crappy touchscreen phones from nokia and samsung at such an affordable cost.
