Most people like being able to keep up with the latest trends when it comes to technology. There have been many advances when it comes to cell phones in the past few years. The smartphone device has become a very popular mainstream device when it comes to cellular technology. HTC makes a lot of devices that are top of the line, and the HTC Wildfire is a great entry level smartphone. Here you will find a review of this phone.
The design of this phone is much like the design of the HTC Desire. You will also find similarities with the Google Nexus One phone. This phone is definitely more of an entry level smartphone, but it still has a lot of features that many people find valuable. With a 582 MHz processor and 384 Mb of memory, you will find this phone to have a lot of power packed in such a small device with a 3.2" display screen.
The wildfire has many different widgets designed by HTC that are included to enhance your experience. One of the most noteworthy is the Friendstream app. It consolidated feds from all of the major social networking sites helping you to stay in touch. The music player also works great. Be sure to use headphones though because the external speaker does not work well with music. Any additional apps that you may need are available for download through the android market.
For the most part, the apps run great but there are some occasional crashes. These are few and far between so it is not much of an issue. One area of special consideration for most people who use smartphones is the battery life. We found that under normal operating conditions that 12 hours of use could be obtained. The conditions under which this was tested included solely 3g connection and various tasks like making videos, picture taking, internet access and music playback.
Keep in mind that a standard LCD is used to help meet the entry level price point but this has in no way affected the phones performance. All in all this is a great phone for people who are just entering the realm of smartphones. It is also a good option for people looking for a lower priced phone to replace a lost or damaged phone. It is a phone that offers a lot of features for a nice price.
