The HTC Wildfire is no meretricious phone as the appearance of this android device sports a more mature look, as compared to its forerunner, the HTC Tattoo, which looked rather toy-like.

A step-up from its predecessor, the budget Android device certainly didn’t skimp on its technical aspects, as well as packing social networking features into this 118g phone. It also boasts a 3.2-inch QVGA capacitive touchscreen and optical trackpad, making navigation a breeze.

Also, a 5 megapixel camera was installed. Not only that, an LED flash was built next to the camera, delighting night owls who are now able to capture photos in the dark as the wouldn’t have to squint their eyes when they are visualising a good photo.

Unfortunately, HTC didn’t invest on a camera button. It would have been better for the users but this is just a minor inconvenience.

While the HTC Tattoo didn’t garner any sort of love from its users, the successor has captured the hearts of UrbanWire with its minimalist approach. We feel that it looks professional and sophisticated despite being a budget android phone- this alone is a major plus point.

Sadly, the low-resolution screen might turn some users off. However, don’t let this deter you in buying the phone as it’s relatively easy to use as well.

Overall, the HTC Wildfire is an outstanding model for those on a tight budget as nothing about the phone screams “cheap”.
