I bought 22/07/2010 in Chennai , It looks nice and Money (15000) become valueable, If you are the IT developer. You can utilize full fun and you can develop your own application using java Android program.

Anonymous, 09 Jun 2010lets compare it to the htc dessire... this has only 384MB RAM and 528MHz processor speed... ... morelook its not supposed to be like the desire. it is going to be a smaller version that is for those of us that cant afford the desire due to its price. just get over the fact that the stuff in it is not the same. it was designed not to be the same!! if you dont like the features of this one than dont but it. its not meant for you. if you like the desire, then but that instead, but stop littering this post with your cr@p about how its not the same. its going to be just as popular, and the screen, well thats going to do just fine. if you people dont like it, why dont you buy something else thats got a bigger screen. it seems that for society today nothing is ever good enough and you all just need to take a look around and reaslie the world doesnt revolve around you.

At present we have only Wildfire in brown and I wondered if there is a point to wait the black one? Is anyone out there who has seen both of them "live"?
I'm interested in more businesslike looks and unfortunately the first impression of the brown handset didn't work out for 100%. Thank you in advance for reply!

bins, 20 Jul 2010thanks nuzhat. would appreciate if you can also tell me a htc with secondary camera. if thats compulsory for you, then dont buy a phone now, wait for this one: HTC Evo 4G, will be avlbl in sometime, but honestly, it will take ages for us to start video calling,,,so wildfire is not a bad deal..

Hey guys got mine couple of days back. It's awesome. Truely imagination at work. I must admit that its way above my imagination thank-you HTC for such a usable and affordable smartphone. You are right the review is biased no doubt about it. Anyway guys this is defenitly owners pride, a pleasure to use.

This is a completely biased review. Anyone could easily guess it. It only highlights the negatives throughout the review which you don’t find in any other review. Hmmm… what would gsmarena get profited by this??? This is a budget mobile for the starters of android devices. Guys this have sense ui which is the best of the lot in the market now. It has the same hardware configuration of legend minus the screen and processor speed difference of only “72 MHz” processor. See the table below from the comparison page of the site. it’s a best value for money mobile out there now. Grab yours
