The HTC Wildfire red Overview
The HTC Wildfire is essentially a mini HTC Desire - our most popular phone. Just 13mm shorter than the Desire and with a lower resolution screen (240x320), the Wildfire should offer outstanding value for money. It runs on Android 2.1 and it has the flexibility to download new apps, access the Internet with speed (via HSDPA) and enjoy your favourite media wherever you go. The optical trackpad and HTC Sense UI offer a great user experience and the 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen can be used in landscape or portrait mode.
The 5 megapixel camera takes excellent pictures, it has auto-focus, smile detection and an LED flash. Internal memory can be expanded up to 32GB with a microSD card. Staying connected with your contacts has never been easier with the Wildfire. Texts, emails and instant messages can all be displayed in a chat-like, continuous view. The Wildfire will also stream wall updates from Facebook, Flickr and Twitter to ensure you stay up to date with the gossip wherever you may go.
A new feature for the Wildfire is the ability to rate and share downloaded apps with your contacts, which is a great idea. Built-in applications include Google Search, YouTube, Picasa, Gmail, Gtalk and Google Maps. A variety of connectivity options comprise of quad-band roaming for use overseas, Wi-Fi for hotspot locations and GPS for guided navigation. The HTC Wildfire is a compact (107 x 60 x 12mm) user friendly smartphone that will continue to evolve as new applications are released.

The HTC Wildfire red Review
The HTC Wildfire red is the latest Smartphone released from HTC and as with all HTC mobile phones the HTC Wildfire red is a very welcome addition to the current Smartphone market.
The HTC Wildfire red has been described as the little brother to the HTC Desire, the most 'desired' mobile phone available today. Personally I think this is an unfair statement to make considering both the specifications of the HTC Wildfire red and the other so called Smart-phones on offer from other manufacturers.
The main question I hear everyone asking is “what are the actual differences between the HTC Wildfire red and the HTC Desire”. In truth there is not that much difference between the two but the things HTC have decided to implement with the HTC Wildfire red that are different to the HTC Desire have been carefully chosen to be able to offer consumers a stunning user experience at slightly less cost than the HTC Desire.
The 2 main differences between the HTC Wildfire red and the HTC Desire are the processor and the screen. HTC have opted to equip the Wildfire red with Qualcomm's MSM 7200A 528 MHz processor (the same as The HTC Hero) and a 3.2 QVGA 240 x 320 Pixel screen.
Both the screen and the processor in the HTC Wildfire red are lower specked than the HTC Desire but they do fit very nicely in to the HTC Wildfire red still making this a very powerful and beautiful phone to use. The MSM 7200A 528 MHz processor’s 384 MB RAM and 512 megabytes ROM are perfectly adequate whilst running Androids latest operating system, Android OS v2.1 and HTC’s intuitive Sense user interface.
Overall even though the HTC Wildfire red is slightly worse off in the “Tech Spec” department that the HTC Desire this is still a fabulous phone and will bring the user experience and quality satisfaction that owning a HTC mobile phone brings in to reach for a broader spectrum of individuals who may not be able to afford the HTC Desire
