Is It Any Better? Wildfire S 26/06/2012

Advantages Good Battery Life, Lots Of Feature, Strong Build.
Disadvantages Design Is Horrible.

Okay so i should start of by saying i used to have the HTC Wildfire (Not S), and honestly i would choose it over this anyday. Considering this is the upgrade i don't think it has any more useful features and the design is horrible. Just my opinion, but the phone is too small and generally uncomfortable to use. I have big hands but stil it is alot smaller than most smartphones on the market, this may be a pro to you, i don't know. Now i think the screen size is the same, but the actual phone is smaller, it no longer has the four buttons at the bottom and instead these are now touch screen ... more

Great choice for a smartphone 29/12/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Uses android, touch screen, navigation works effectively.
Disadvantages Battery life, the screen is a little small

This phone was chosen as it is a cheap pay monthly smart phone that uses an android system. The wildfire s is a very effective phone and the it is very easy to use as the menu system is very clear and straight forward. The vast amount of apps that are available on the android market makes this phone a superb choice. These applications run very smooth and quick. One issue with this phone is the size, it is actually smaller than i expected it to be, however this is probably the reason why this phone is so cheap. I was able to get this phone for only £15 a month where i get unlimited internet ... more

An average smartphone, but comes with it's problems 10/07/2012

Advantages Easy to use, goof functionality
Disadvantages Internal memory

My partner has this phone and his journey with it has gradually gone downhill. He has had it for around a year now, and when he first purchased it, it was all good. It looks great and seemed to have all the features you would expect from a mid-range smart phone. He particularly liked the weather feature, where you would see windscreen wipers going across the screen if it was going to rain, etc. (well...simple things!). He was able to download a number of apps and really enjoyed using the phone and the functionality seemed good. However, as time has gone on, he is unable to download apps ... more

A great budget phone 10/03/2013

Advantages Easy to navigate, small and compact
Disadvantages Low memory and short battery life

The HTC Wildfire is a simple but a great little phone. I first got this phone with a little bit of hesitation at first. I thought all smart phones were difficult to use. However, the HTC has completely changed that. The HTC is a very attractive looking phone. It is small and compact. Although no Iphone, the HTC fights its corner, for anyone who does not like bulky mobiles, the HTC is for you. The touch keypad is easy to use with big on screen buttons. The screen is easy to manipulate. The menu has a clear layout, the symbols used in the menu make it easy to navigate your away around to achieve ... more

Good phone sometimes slow but good apps 27/11/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Good apps, looks great, not to expensive
Disadvantages Poor battery life and gets stuck sometimes

I got my HTC wildfire because I wanted a phone that did everything but wasn't huge. I went to Phones 4 U and this was what they recommended. I think that it is a good phone but could be better. It's great for someone like me who wants all the apps, not a huge price and something that looks nice. If you are very techie minded then you may want to concider something else. The phone works well and is easy to navigate once you get used to it. There are also a wide range of apps avalible for it. However it does sometimes get stuck and go very slow if you overload it with apps. To get the most out ... more

Handy Wee Smartphone, but Poor Memory 10/07/2012

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages All of the apps in the Android Store - an app for everything
Disadvantages Poor processing memory lets it down. Battery life not great, either.

I like my wee smartphone - enough to have it repaired when I recently dropped it into water, in fact. It does everything I want it to do - camera, mp3, organiser, notebook, internet browsing, emails, as well as phoning and texting. I can even use Google docs and Wordpress on it because there are apps for these. However, the big thing that lets it down is its memory. It just doesn't have enough processing memory for all the bells and whistles it possesses. I get very frustrated, when I try to look at photos or listen to a track and my phone tells me I don't have enough memory, so I have to ... more

Great Phone Awful Battery 04/12/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Compact, Responsive, Durable, Sleek Design
Disadvantages Short Battery Life, Small Screen

I just recently decided to join the smartphone bandwagon and went with the Virgin Mobile HTC Wildfire S. For a no-contract phone i feel that the price of $199.99 that paid was very reasonable. The Phone is fast and very responsive, even more so than the ipod touch that i used to have. The two downsides to the phone i are the some what small screen and the battery life. Firstly the screen sometimes feels a bit too compact when doing things like web browsing, watching movies etc.. though it's more of a slight annoyance rather than a large set back. Secondly the battery life is far less than ... more

HTC Wildfire S 23/03/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages small
Disadvantages the menu button

I have been a user of the HTC Wildfire S phone for 3 months now and I am really ahppy with it. It is a small compact phone but still does everything the larger phones do. It has plenty of memory as it comes with a 2g memory card. One of the great things with this phone is that you can choose what you like to have on the display icons, the only downfall here is that is quite tricky to figure out how to do in the beginning. The one major downfall that this phone has is that the main menu key is right above the home key which means as it is touchscreen it is very hard to press the button that you ... more

Htc Wildfire S, Nice entry level phone, Great Price 10/08/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap, Runs Gingerbread, Sense 2.1, Battery life
Disadvantages No flash, Arm6 Processor

This phone is a very nice phone to use and with the new gingerbread software it is a lot snappier than the previous Wildfire. Android allows you to download many apps and customisations for the phone, the screen resolution for this phone is a lot better than the previous model and pictures taken show up better. The phone comes with Sense 2.1 which has some nice features such as remote wipe, track your phone, play the ringer. The features can all be accessed at htcsense.com. There is also a digital compass which makes navigating in maps great. Texting on this phone can be slightly difficult at ... more

Advantages Uses Android system, Quick, Easy to use, Navigation is basic
Disadvantages Not best value for money, Not a great camera, Poor battery life

The HTC WIldfire S is a suprerb phone in all its glory. It looks very professional and very up-to-date which is always a plus. It is not too small but at the same time not too big; it just right. It is a sized down version of the Original HTC Wilfire which i personally feel is slightly too big. I have, on more than occasion, dropped the mobile yet it stands strong with hardly any scratches on it. It is slick and very modern; two key aspects in my opinion. The navigation of the mobile is very simplistic which is great. You can easily move around the different screens and applications. The ... more
