The all new HTC Wildfire carries forward the Android 2.1 legacy while inheriting characteristic traits of Nexus One and HTC Desire. The 384 MB RAM and the 5 megapixel camera are notable differences but otherwise, Wildfire employs the same 528 MHz Qualcomm processor and 3.2 inch touch screen used in earlier HTC phones.

Wildfire’s design borders closely on the Nexus One and Desire. While its black texture and touch buttons resemble the Nexus One, the earpiece, frame structure and optical trackpad mirror those from the Desire.

To access the battery, you need to peel the cover from the top. The chin and frame wedge has an irregular cut, somewhat spoiling its chic look.

The major highlights of the HTC Wildfire include Friend Stream Widget to follow friends, built-in Flash Lite, Leap for switching between screen pages and an intuitive text highlighting tool.

The battery life of the Wildfire is a major plus. It provides almost 12 hours of battery life on 3G connections which includes occasional video recording, music play, web browsing and photo-snapping.

The Bluetooth, FM radio and other audio file formats are well supported to perform various actions. The microphone of the Wildfire may appear a tad disconcerting, but the great hands free kit for earphone plugs makes up for all that.

Talking of the keyboard, the Wildfire disappoints big time here. HTC phones are generally equipped with extremely powerful and intuitive virtual keyboards. However, the Wildfire’s virtual keyboard lets you down with crammed keys and slow response to typing.

The 5 megapixel camera of the cell is the saving grace since it delivers high quality indoor shots. The overall verdict for the HTC Wildfire is on the positive side, but it is not entirely blemish-free!
