Bell HTC Wildfire S Hands-on By MobileSyrup

Hey everybody- it is Daniel here for mobile syrup and today, I have the HTC Wildfire s, which is launching soon on bail, and this is an entry-level device coming in at around two 4995 off contract, so it'll be close to free on contract, and this is meant to compete with the lg optimum one and the other entry-level Samsung android devices- and you can see here the specs don't quite reach the heights of SE and desire HD or incredible s, but it certainly does the job. We've got a 600, megahertz, processor, 512, megs of ram and ROM. It's a 3.2 inch, 480 x, 360, I believe, touch screen. You have bells 3g or 4g network capable you have Bluetooth 3.0. I phi you have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, which is more than you can say for the HPV r, which is around the same size. You have a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and space for a micro SD card, so you're getting basically a very small smartphone now income.

This may not look very small, but when you put this next to say the LG g2x, you can see just how much smaller this device really is. It's a good 2 or 2 inches at least or an inch and a half so turning it on. You see that this is the sense that you all know, and this is running Gingerbread. You can see that there are four capacitive touch buttons here on the bottom, so you see here we have the search screen and this will so, let's look wild now. This keyboard is a little smaller and therefore a little more difficult to use just to kind of peck at than the usual HTC keyboards, but everything else really does run pretty nicely.

There are a few times, I've noticed where it does slow down, but you can see you have the full internet experience here on this 3.2 inch display and as I said, this is running sense 2.1 with Gingerbread, and you have all the sense, 2.1 updates, which include the drop-down notification bar though so here's the full screen web browser. So this takes away the notification bar, and you can see everything runs pretty smoothly. Pinch-To-Zoom works really! Well. Let me get back out of here. So I can show you here are your recently used apps and the quick settings you can quickly toggle, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

So that's that and let me just show you the menu here so here we have, as you can see, Android 2.3 point 3 with sense, 2.1 and all this other stuff here, base band Colonel, so yeah. This runs pretty well. I can show you a couple benchmarks, so first I'm going to show you the multitouch sensor, so you got one two three and four. If you can see that but yeah we have four capable I'm putting a fifth down but nothing's happening. So there you go.

We have four touch sensors on there and here's unpack. So this just shows you like this year: processing power of the device, and you can see it's a very low 6.6 660, that's evil! So yeah, not not a power device here, and I also ran the quadrant benchmark and I got about 600 of that. So really not some. Let me just focus there so yeah, not a power device at all, but certainly one that is capable of being used as a phone end and as a surfing apparatus. You can.

You have access to the android market here and everything seems to run pretty well on that. So look forward to my full review on this device. So far, so good, let's just go and look around the hardware a little. So you see the four passive touch buttons on the bottom. There's a microphone on the bottom there as well left-hand side, you have the volume rocker, and can see this little nice lip here.

It's actually making it a lot easier to talk into the phone, and it's nice and attractive. You have the micro USB charging port there. You have your easy to press power button and your 3.5 millimeter jack on the right side. Furthermore, you don't have anything and on the back, you have the 5 megapixel camera, which protrudes just a little and the LED flash and the speaker- and this is pried off like so don't break anything there. Furthermore, you go so nice, hard plastic see the battery basically takes up the entire back of the device.

Furthermore, you have your nice big speaker grill here when you take out the battery can see that it is. It is 1200, sorry 1230 William hour, so this is the same battery. That's used in the desire HD on a much smaller device. You can see the cage for the SIM card and the micros slot is just on the right hand, side or left hand, depending on when you, where you're looking at it. So that is just a quick overview of the bell wildfire s coming soon for 249.
