HTC has become a powerhouse in manufacturing Android powered devices. They have created a device to fit practically every form factor, budget, and cellular network type. HTC has now set their sights on the budget friendly market with the release of the HTC Wildfire. Typically, in order to create a lower-priced device, manufacturers must sacrifice some quality or features. We can’t help but be curious to see as to whether or not HTC puts a mark on its reputation for quality with the Wildfire. Read on to find out in our full review of the HTC Wildfire!

Here's the unboxing for the Samsung Captivate. As you can see, the box comes packed with just about everything you need. A 2GB MicroSD card is supplied, which you may want to eventually upgrade.
HARDWARE
IMG 2311
On the spec side of things the HTC Wildfire is running with a 528MHz processor. This speed is certainly a little dated based on today’s current Android device specs. However, it still cranks right along fairly well. It has 512MB of built in ROM storage which MicroSD expansion of up to 32GB. The Wildfire is complete with a 3.2 QVGA capacitive screen with a resolution of 320 x 240. In order to keep the price point low, HTC had to utilize this much lower resolution screen, (by today’s standards). The Wildfire also meets many of today’s expected standards with its WiFi (B&G), Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, and a 5.0 Megapixel camera with LED flash. This device takes advantage of a Micro USB port to charge its 1300mAh battery, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for audio output.

When comparing the Wildfire’s screen to that of the Nexus One or even HTC EVO 4G, it is simply blown away. The low-resolution screen is certainly not a step forward. Images on the screen appear to have lines through them and colors are washed out. However, this is likely because we have grown used to much higher resolution screens. Users who have experienced older style phones up to this point likely won’t notice.
The device gets its looks from both the Nexus One and the HTC Desire. The combination of an aluminum frame and Teflon coated plastic makes the device feel very solid. The capacitive front buttons mixed with the optical trackpad provide the best of both worlds in terms of haptic and tactile feedback. HTC has kept the placement of the four main Android buttons consistent on most of their devices. This translates into little to no learning curve if you’re an Android veteran.
The left side of the device houses the up and down volume rocker, which is flanked on the right side by a smooth button less finish. Next, the power/standby button and 3.5mm headphone jack are located on the top of the device. Lastly, on the back of the device we have the chrome HTC logo and the 5MP camera lens paired with its LED flash.

Removing the battery cover welcomes us to the 1300mAh battery and a MicroSD card slot that does NOT require the user to remove the battery. Finally, beneath the battery you will find the SIM card slot.

The Wildfire’s 3.2” capacitive screen is easy to use and is viewable outdoors. However, the low resolution certainly leaves a little to be desired. Colors seem to be washed out and pictures appear to have lines through them.
SOFTWARE
HTC packages their own Android skin called, “Sense” with their devices. Part 1 of our software overview provides a tour of the HTC Sense system. Overall, Sense streamlines navigation through the Android OS and provides the user with seven homescreens, which is more than the typical “Vanilla” version of Android offers. Sense also provides a designation phone button on the dock and many useful widgets, such as the acclaimed flipclock on the homescreen.
Our second software overview video compares the software performance of the HTC Wildfire to the HTC EVO 4G. The EVO 4G has a processor that is clocked at twice the speed of the Wildfire’s and also has more RAM so it was very interesting to see the results as they competed head-to-head. The Wildfire held its own in many of the tests. However, during multitasking with a handful of applications at once the faster processor and greater RAM amount were the clear-cut winner.
CAMERA
By incorporating an LED flash into the Wildfire, HTC has given users the ability to take pictures in very dark areas. However, as you’ll see in a few of the pictures below, pictures taken indoors with somewhat low light display quite a bit of noise.
IMAG0003
Pictures taken outdoors with an abundance of light look quite clear. The camera does a somewhat decent job of properly focusing. By no means will the Wildfire replace a stand-alone camera. In this case, you truly do get what you pay for. Below are a few more images taken with the Wildfire.
PERFORMANCE
The 528MHz processor is typically able to consistently run many of our day-to-day applications without a hiccup. However, loading feeds in the twitter application, and starting up programs usually takes longer, which was to be expected. Sense is optimized to run fairly well on this device and it isn’t until multitasking with a handful of operation that you’ll begin to notice slowdown.
CALL QUALITY/NETWORK SPEED
Call quality over AT&T’s network was very good with zero dropped calls.
The Wildfire is only able to handle an EDGE connection in the United States. Therefore, speeds are nowhere near what 3G is able to get. If you’re looking to download or upload large files, you’ll want to do so over WiFi.
Call quality over AT&T's network was fantastic, and I experienced no dropped calls.
BATTERY LIFE
The Wildfire’s battery life is above average when comparing it to the many other Android handsets current available. With a 1300mAh battery powering only a 3.2”, low-resolution screen I was able to easily achieve a day of full use. With light usage getting through 2 full days is easily attainable.
PURCHASING AND AVAILABILITY
The HTC Wildfire is priced at a very affordable $300 unlocked and is available at Clove.co.uk.
PROS
+ Very affordable (unlocked) price-point
+ Aluminum and Teflon coated plastic make hardware feel very solid
+ Thin and light
+ HTC Sense
+ Pre-loaded with Android 2.1
+ LED flash
+ Above average battery life
CONS
- Poor camera
- Very low resolution screen
- Last generation processor
- No front-facing camera
CONCLUSION
For a low priced entry level Android device, the Wildfire surely impresses. If you’re looking to jump onto the Android train but are still locked into contract this could be a great option for you. Or, if you want to try out Android but don’t have or want to spend $500+ on the other unlocked HTC devices, the $300 Wildfire is a great substitution. However, if you’re a user of current generation of Android devices this unfortunately may be a step backward.
The biggest weakness of the Wildfire is going to be its last generation processor speed. While it’s enough to suffice and get by with currently, you may find yourself being left out of future OS updates such as Gingerbread and possibly even Froyo.
At the end of the day, the Wildfire is a great device and a perfect fit for a niche market. Due to that I give the HTC Wildfire a 4/5.
The range of HTC devices was running short on budget models. And that’s the main reason why the company produces low-cost solutions from time to time – think of HTC Touch 2 and HTC Tattoo, for example. These devices are simple, compact and moderately functional. However, their start was obviously higher than it should. Roughly speaking, the functional does not match value. Starting price for HTC Tattoo was the same as presented by HTC Wildfire, while with the new smartphone we already have a large amount of memory, better camera, a newer version of the operating system and higher performance.
In fact, HTC Wildfire – a lightweight version of the HTC Desire. Light in the literal sense. Wildfire smaller and lighter, but from a functional point of view there are almost no differences. Let’s look at the main technical specs of the model.
Specifications:
Form Factor: candy bar
Materials: plastic, metal
Operating System: Android 2.1 + HTC Sense interface
Network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, EDGE / GPRS, UMTS / HSDPA 900/2100
Platform: Qualcomm MSM7225-1 processor with 528 MHz
Memory: 384 MB
The memory for storing programs: 512 Mb (ROM) + memory card microSD (hot swap)
Interfaces: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (A2DP), jack microUSB (USB 2.0) for the charge / synchronization, 3.5 mm headset jack
Screen: capacitive touch-type, 3.2 “with a resolution of 240×320 pixels (QVGA)
Camera: 5 megapixel with Autfocus and Flash
Navigation: One Platform Qualcomm GPS chip (support A-GPS)
Extras: sensor approach light sensor, digital compass, gyroscope
Battery: removable Li-Ion 1300 mAh
Hardware
The device is running Android 2.1 OS, is based on the Qualcomm MSM7225 525 MHz processor. Overall this mobile device looks very much like its brother HTC Desire, however, is considerably inferior to him in certain technical specs which is not that surprising, given the difference in price.
With dimensions of 106,8 x 60,4 x 12 mm, HTC Wildfire is equipped with a 3.2-inch TFT-touch screen with QVGA resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, microUSB and 3.5 mm audio jack, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED-flash , Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, GPS and Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g, and 512 MB of built-in memory and 384 MB of RAM. This means that the device has lots of features to be able to call it a great device.
As from the additional features in the phone we should note the slot for microSD memory cards, G-sensor, FM-radio, digital compass sensor lighting and approximations, the optical joystick and a full suite of applications of HTC Friends Stream (Twitter, Flickr and Facebook). According to the manufacturer they kept their promise of providing a great battery for the device which will make the device functioning even more longer.
And let’s say that I would agree with them. The awesome 1300 mAh Li-ion battery ensures a lifetime of 490 minutes for the talk time , whiele for the standby mode the time goes up to 480 hours. The numbers speak up for themselves.
Design
HTC caught the favor of such an approach to building products, where low-cost models are made in similar design with high-end ones. Previously, the exact same politics where adopted by Samsung which allowed to have budget sliders, resembling the flagships of the time. We are talking about copying the look of the expensive device and transferring it to one of the cheapest.
In the case of Wildfire it comes with a similar design with Android-flagship of the company – Desire. At the same time Wildfire is shaped with smooth transitions planes, such as metal edging around the perimeter of the front side, a similar arrangement of controls. Yeah, the designs of these models are not fully identical, but seeing Wildfire, you surely remember Desire, they are similar.
The body of the device is made of matte, velvety surface which resembles plastic, in the battery cover – a plate of metal edging on the front side and feel of metal. Color options of HTC Desire are rather boring only a few shades of gray. However, such coloring is universal and no one seems repulsive. While the reddish color ( which is available only for a few destinations) option seems to be rather aggressive, but the color still seems to be washed away.
Display
HTC Wildfire is equipped with capacitive touchscreen with a diagonal of 3.2 “and a resolution of 240×320 (QVGA) pixels. The screen is the weakest component of the device, as this is the item with the help of which the smartphones are being classified as affordable. There are a few details that need to be noted.
First, the screen supports multitouch, secondly, working with the screen is no worse than AMOLED-display used in the Desire and the Legend, and thirdly, by the standard (not widescreen) aspect ratio is identical with HTC Hero and Legend, while the diagonal display area of the Wildfire is bigger.
Camera
The device comes with a 5 megapixel camera with Autofocus and Flash. While at the first glance there’s nothing interesting, then there’s something that makes the device to be distinguished. The built-in camera is acquired with a flash, which can be used as a flashlight. This is something new for the HTC devices and thus the enthusiasts are even thinking of getting this item on some of the other devices.
The picture quality is about the same as in Desire. However, to fully test the built-in camera you might try it for your own, but actually the full list of camera capabilities worked rather well during our testing.
The viewfinder is comparable to Desire, which spoils the impression. In addition, low-light shots are often lubricated. There’s even a touch-focus, when you point a finger at screen focus point, while makes the camera usage simply a pleasure.
Software
HTC Wildfire runs on the latest version of Android 2.1 with an updated interface, plus there is also HTC Sense. All together it makes the model very pleasant staff, incomparable with the decisions of competitors.
HTC Sense is a user interface, organized around the contacts, rather than applications. The updated version includes a widget called HTC Friend Stream, which brings together bands with friends Facebook, Twitter and Flickr into one organized flow of updates. In addition to Friend Stream, contacts can be grouped into social groups, such as groups of friends, colleagues, etc.
Sense is not only convenient, but also rather effective. I would highlight the “Smart keyboard” text input which corrects the wrong button-pressing and the number of errors is led to minimal. Of course, the QWERTY-layout is available in both orientations of the body. But compared with Desire there is no interactive wallpaper – for example, it’s when by pressing the circles run on the water, and depending on the music player display corresponds the equalizer.
There are all standard applications (player, gallery, browser, etc.), there is also an online catalog of Android Market. But the file manager since Hero is not pre-installed, you need to download and install it separately. Especially the browser, which adjusts the page to the scope and formats it correctly. And, you can highlight text and then watch it in a dictionary, or send to your friends.
The company couldn’t deal without innovations in the software part. It hardly makes sense to consider the more details of HTC Sense, about which it said a lot. Attention should be paid to the App Share function. HTC Experts concede that sometimes it is hard to find the application in Android Market. Therefore Wildfire has an added ability to share links to your favorite applications with friends, acquaintances or colleagues. It works very simply and seems to be a rather interesting tool.
Concluding Notes
The fact is that this device – as I can remember one of the few smartphones from the company HTC, which is not overvalued at the start, that is, the price / quality ratio for Wildfire excellent even for the “white” option at the beginning of sales. It is cheaper than the HTC Hero, price tag on the level of Tattoo, while Wildfire bypasses both models on all parameters: metal in the body, a reliable optical trackball to control a big screen size, fresh Android OS and Sense UI. Among low-and middle price segments of the Android platform on HTC smartphone is able to generate a furor.
Hopefully, HTC Wildfire will turn into a really hot novelty for this hot summer, because as you know the device got the name based on the survey among the youth.
