THERE IS an interesting phenomenon on a number of major smart phone vendors in recent years, namely their rollicking brand-new smart phone designed to produce physically similar to existing products that have been relatively popular in the market. See, after the relative success in selling X10 Xperia, Sony Ericsson releases Xperia X10 Mini.
This step is followed by High Tech Computer Corporation (HTC) with the release of HTC Wildfire. There are repacking Wildfire HTC impression as a smaller version and cheaper than his elder brother, the HTC Desire (and Nexus), as Sony Ericsson released X10 Mini as a lower version of X10.
In terms of physical design, Wildfire clearly qualifies as a replica of Desire. If judging at a glance the figure of Wildfire and Desire in a position adjacent to and screen are both turned off, it’s hard for you to find differences between the two cell phone. Only after watching him for longer, you will find the body Wildfire seem more refined and robust.

Understandably, with a size of 3.2 inches and QVGA resolution, touch screen Wildfire sangup not offer the level of pixel density is higher than the 3.7-inch AMOLED WVGA that carried Desire.
There’s one more disadvantage: Wildfire screen almost helpless ‘against’ the sun. You should make every effort to get the right perspective to be able to read or see clearly the text or images on the screen when using this phone in the open and under sunny weather during the day.
In general, screen design Wildfire is one point where manufacturers keep production costs down significantly, in order to obtain selling price is much cheaper, than Desire.
Fortunately, there is still a positive note about the screen Wildfire, which is a touch screen kapasitifnya have excellent levels of sensitivity. In addition, the dimensions of 3.2 inches is more than sufficient to allow the user pressing the touch buttons freely.
Another difference arises from the processor that is planted in each cell phone. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Desire QSD8250 sustained speed 1 GHz, while Wildfire rely on Qualcomm MSM 7225 528 MHz speed. Wildfire certainly will not be able to react as quickly as Desire to instructions from the user. Internal memory is also different: Wildfire bermemori 384 MB RAM 512 MB ROM dams, while the Desire 576 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM.
Status Callers
With the release of Wildfire, HTC impressed not only target the audience helpless below purchasing Desire segment. These vendors also want to reach young people who are devoted to socialize via social networking sites. That is why Wildfire disandangi HTC Caller ID feature that has not been installed on other Android-based HTC mobile phone. Technology caller ID from HTC is able to display the caller’s current status on Facebook, complete with the birth date information. Another feature, Friend Stream, has the ability to display the status of friends Facebook, and Twitter on the same screen.
