    4 Stars You Could Buy Four Of These For The Price Of One iPhone! Review with images 06/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Price. Build-quality, features, versatility

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lots to learn. Iiffy battery life.

    From Poor Man’s Blackberry to Poor Man’s iPhone It’s been another difficult decision week. What shall I give priority to on my ‘plastic’ this month? Buy a new front tyre for the SEAT or get a new mobile phone? Hmmm, tricky one, especially since my wife has been flaunting her sparkly new phone under my nose and believe me, no-one likes a gloater less than I do……. …..and then the problem solved itself. 1. Daughter breaks up with boyfriend and somehow loses her dominion over the iPhone 4, which it now transpires wasn’t actually hers. 2. Daughter then has an urgent need of (any) mobile phone in ... more

    5 Stars Wildfire over iPhone 4 Review with images 16/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great value, Easy to use, Very customizable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A couple of minor texting faults - very minute!

    Firstly I apologize as this is my first review for several months and so it may not be the best read, but I felt this phone was such a great discovery it deserved a good review. "WHAT IS THE WILDFIRE?" The HTC Wildfire is one of the latest models from the HTC company and rivals the iPhone4 in the current market. Effectively, the Wildfire is the 'mini' version of the popular 'Desire' model. They are virtually identical in features with a few minor differences. The Wildfire has a slightly smaller internal memory (384MB RAM) than the desire (576). On both phones the battery life is not excellent ... more

    4 Stars Nice Entry Level Android Phone 30/04/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good performer, Android Marketplace access, Easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lags with some Apps

    I needed a new phone to use as a second phone alongside my iPhone but didn't want to spend too much. I kept hearing rave reviews about Android so thought I'd try it out, as it would give me more functionality than a normal mobile. I chose the Wildfire, an entry level Android phone from HTC, costing me £170. I got the pure white version, which has a bit of silver and looks really nice! The usual brown version was too common for my liking.SETTING UPAfter popping in the SIM under the battery, MicroSD card in the slot and the initial eight-hour or so charge, powered on the phone and off I went. As ... more

    4 Stars The HTC Wildfire - a brilliant android phone 07/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages stylish, intuitive, cheap for a smart phone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages provided memory card is low capacity

    For those of you aware that I was moving to contract (as opposed to pay as you go) - this is the phone I went for. The deal I got was from t-mobile (who I had been with on pay as you go) - I got the phone free and for £20 a month I get 600 minutes, 500 texts, unlimited internet and 60 minutes to Australia and this compares very favourably with the contract deals available for iphones with HTC are cited as rivals of. So what is the HTC wildfire? Well it's a 3G smart phone and is android based, it's also the smaller and slightly inferior cousin of the HTC Desire (available on contract but for ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Functionality, Easy to use, Looks brilliant, The Android market all round excellent

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor Battery (though better than some rivals)

    With Christmas looming just over the horizon the search for the ideal christmas present once again starts. With many teens wanting a trendy and cool phone a mobile could well be the perfect device. Though with the iPhones costing an arm and a leg and being mostly unaffordable the search needs to go a little farther. A smart, sleek, sexy and uiseful phone on a budget of some sort would be ideal, right? In steps HTC's excellent budget smartphone, the HTC Wildfire. Although HTC aren't quite the big name major player of Apple and their "i" brand (iphone, ipod and ipad) they are a very competent ... more
