As a confirmed HTC user this is my 3rd of this brand. I have had a Dream and then a Magic. The Wildfire follows in a similar theme but with many of the faults ironed out. I find it very easy to use, it is perfectly sized and looks great. I use it as a reader, a web browser an Mp3 player and oh yes a phone. My one dislike is having to push a button on the top to wake it up, I find it quite an awkward movement when all else is touch screen. Overall I think its GREAT.
Lightweight, looks good, easy to use. I am in the over 50 age category and I wanted to sell it on ebay after two days.... but then I allowed myself 7 days to get used to it and now think it is great. Oddly the one thing that seems most difficult is receiving calls. You have to drag your finger down the screen. That seems to work extremely well when viewing apps,photos or the internet but needs a different touch when receiving calls - one that I have yet to master as I seem to have missed more calls with this phone that I have done in my whole life! I particularly like the constantly updated weather forecasts for numerous locations and the free apps e.g. FreeCaddie for golf course distances. And it works too! By comparison with the i Phone, it is far lighter, more simple to use and considerably cheaper.Read full review
I decided it was time to join the age of smartphones after seeing what could be done with my son's Iphone4! My Vodaphone contract was not due for an upgrade, so it meant buying a phone. After reading reviews and asking around, the Wildfire seemed like a good option, as the Iphone 4 was much more expensive. The phone was duly purchased from ebay and although it took a while to get used to the new functions, I really enjoy using it. I don't use all the Apps to keep in touch with Facebook etc. but can check emails, text and phone and expect I will branch out to use more of the functions as I get used to it. The camera is also good quality and I have taken some good photos, sent them by email etc. I particularly like the Google night sky App and the google maps, which I have used to find routes. The News feature is also useful and I spend quite a lot of time "playing" with the phone to find other features. A good job I am retired and have time to do all this, but also feel it keeps me in touch with the younger generation! All in all, a good purchase and i am glad i took the plunge.Read full review
The Wildfire has a lot of features but suffers in comparison to the HTC Desire which has a bigger screen and a much better resolution. Sometimes the screen is almost consumed with the virtual keyboard and it is hard to see what you are typing. It is quite easy to drop due to its compact size. However for the price it is a great first smartphone to get you into the world of Apps, Maps and Internet anywhere.
The phone has many features, being htc the os is pretty good and theres an immense amount of apps available - both free and paid for, however the phones performance ie cpu and memory is limiting compared to some of the models in the current htc lineup, for example the camera is not great for clarity and colour. The video records pretty poor quality audio in loud environments, ie at a club is a nono - you'll just get distortion, some of the phones ive owned in the past have been better for those situations. Sometimes i record videos, then when i go to view them they dont work because the phone ran out of memory during recording, the phone doesnt warn you that the memory is low. You have to kill (shutdown) apps all the time as the battery and memory gets used up pretty quick. Its best to turn of wifi most of the time or the batt will run out. Its best to charge it before going out for the evening to give you the best chance of it lasting out till the next day should you choose not to go home ;) I like the fact that for a smart phone its pretty compact and the construction seems rugged.Read full review
