Wildfire, Cheapest Android smartphone from HTC

Wildfire is the Android-based phone which was created as a cheaper version of Desire. With a price of $410, Wildfire become the cheapest new Android phone from HTC that circulated in Indonesia.

The price was still puts Wildfire in over a number of other beginner-level Android phones that play in the $ 22 price range. This price gap does not necessarily make the HTC smartphone worry.

"We have a class of its own," Agus Sugiarto said, Indonesia Country Manager of HTC smartphone, at the launch of Wildfire, 14 July.

Almost two weeks we played with a smartphone that looks very similar. The biggest difference is about the size of both quality and sharpness of the screen.

Wildfire uses 3.2-inch screen size with dimensions of 106.75 x 60.4 x 12.18 millimeters. When see, Wildfire almost the same width and thickness, but shorter. About these smaller size, actually has its own benefits. Wildfire taste better grasped and kept in a pocket.

Display screen is not clear as Desire. This is what instantly felt when you first turn it on. QVGA resolution is 240 x 320 pixels.

HTC minimize the use of physical buttons. Home button, Menu, Back, and Google Search to use touch buttons, rather than physical buttons, such as in Desire. However, the optical navigation button trackpad is maintained.

Matter of convenience of use, Wildfire same with Desire smartphone. Wearing a touch screen interface Sense HTC Android as much fun as other models from HTC smartphone.

However, with smaller screen of Desire, our comfort while typing with the virtual QWERTY keyboard slightly reduced.

HTC has a 5 megapixel camera with flash that can function as a flashlight when we download the application from the Android Market.

Again, very unfortunate HTC not provide sufficient internal memory to store multimedia files. To take pictures, we must inculcate an external memory card with a maximum capacity of 32 gigabytes.

The battery endurance is very good. With use frequent, could still survive for two days. Meanwhile, in a standby condition, Wildfire Android smartphone can last up to 480 hours.

At first we thought that to cut the price of HTC's 3G network should dispose of it. Apparently not. Besides having the 2G GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1.800/1.900 MHz, Wildfire Android smartphone has a network HSDPA / WCDMA 900/2100 MHz with download speeds up to 7.2 megabyte per second.

Some Wildfire Android smartphone features available is FriendStream to access various social networks within one interface, the G-Sensor, digital compass, proximity sensors, and light sensor.

Most features can you find at other Android phone from HTC smartphone. But one thing is relatively new is the element of "decency" in Wildfire Android smartphone.

So when a call comes in and you lift the phone from his position is placed, then the ringtone volume is automatically reduced. If you do not want to answer the call, simply put the phone back in the inverted position, the ringing tone will be dead and the call will go to the ballot box.
