features for a mid-range device.
Take for example the 3.2″ QVGA capacitive touch screen with pinch to zoom; or the 512MB ROM and the 384MB RAM, and even microSD card for extra storage. 1300mAh battery should give you more than 400 hours talk time but not sure how much that would translate if you were to browse the web the whole time. HTC Desire has a 5MP camera with auto focus and flash and can geotag your photos if you choose to. That means Wildfire has a GPS receiver and a few other sensor such as the G-sensor, digital compass, proximity sensor, and the ambient light sensor.
According to HTC’s Eric Lin, the Wildfire “makes good on the promise of the Tattoo… [it's] much better executed.” That not only makes for a better phone for the end-user, but one that’s cheaper for HTC to produce (meaning a cheaper MRSP) but that uses better quality components. The Wildfire has the same 528MHz CPU as the HTC Hero, but with HTC having stripped out the 3D animations from Sense it keeps things moving reasonably quickly. There’s also a microSD card slot under the battery cover and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top edge. The battery is a 1,300mAh pack, though HTC aren’t quoting estimated runtimes as yet.
Just in case there weren’t enough HTC manufactured Android phones out there, the company has come forth today to show us another device; the Wildfire, pictured above. This phone is marketered more toiwards the budget concious crowd with an expected somewhat low price.
Of course, with a low price comes somewhat lower specs including a 528MHz processor (no Snapdragon, unfortunately) and 512MB/384MB RAM and ROM. Additionally, the Wildfire features a 3.2-inch touchscreen, Android 2.1, a 5 megapixel camera with both autofocus and flash, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS, 7.2mbps HSPA, and a microSD slot.
While all of this is pretty normal, what makes the Wildfire different from the rest is the “app sharing widget” that will allow you to tell your friends which apps you think they should get via email, SMS and social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter.
