HTC Wildfire review - part 2 of 2

Okay so I've just sent a quick text message to the wildfire you can see it brings it up straight on the bottom here, the time and the person that sent a mist to you, and you get a little of text as well. Just so you can see what the message says. You can also see the little envelope at the top there and also the flashing LED just to notify you of a new message. So if I just drag down to unlock the screen, you can see as well. We've got a little number one there and your messages' logo, so I can either tap that to go into the message or I can drag down. The notifications bar I have seen is performed previous Android devices.

You can just drag the bar down and any notifications for emails or SMS or updates from the Android Marketplace can be found in here. So just tap the message you can see. We can just open it straight away from the notifications bar, and we can just tap to compose a new message. So first there we go, and then we can just tap this button here. Just to send it so just tap it there and fire it off, and again we have my own user image beneath the image of the person that sent it to me.

The only annoying thing I've found on the Wildfire is, unlike my desire with the desire. There's a little keyboard button down the bottom. If I tap that it will take the keyboard away, there's no such button on the Wildfire, so at first it can be annoying if you're trying to enter details, there's no easy way to get the keyboard to disappear. Well, he's not logical way after a while of playing a Fender, you can't do that. Just put it in the black key always takes the keyboard away, so not as obvious as on the desire, but the functionality is still there.

If you just use the back button to take the keyboard away, as you can see, is also a little paperclip here for attaching things like images and videos, music, different bits pieces like that you can calendar entries and contacts as well, so the HTC Wildfire has got few new additions since the desire HD see if I do this app sharing application. So basically, if you download some apps in the market- and you want to share them with other friends that have Android devices as well, you can just select them from the list, and we've only got one personally here, but we're different apps that have been downloaded would be listed, and you can just tap on any one of them to share by any different means of your friends. So people down the bottom here, that's Twitter got SMS email, Google, email and friend stream, which is via Facebook and Twitter. So you can share with any of those different means. You can share that with your friends, so they can go finding out themselves.

Did you see when you select one? It just puts in a nice little message for you and then sends them the link to actually take them to the app to download it, so it doesn't actually send them the data for the app or the app itself. It just sends a link to make it easier for them to find it so going back to the menu you can see as well. We've got camera and the camcorder are now separate, so you can still flick between them once you're in the camera, but if you just specifically wanted to go to one over the other, you can just go directly to it. Now, because there are two separate icons, the flashlight we mentioned earlier and French cream as well, which allows you to update your Facebook status and read other people's updates, but oddly no actual Facebook app pre-installed, we receive three wildfires and none of them have Facebook. Pre-Installed I mean.

Obviously it's got the built-in support via friend stream, but the actual application for a more extensive Facebook use doesn't appear to be pre-installed. This time, which is strange, you can still obviously get it from the Android Market though, and it's a free app. So there's no real issue with that I guess. Perhaps they just decided to make it so that you could decide whether you want today or not anyway. Moving on we've got the movies up that downloaded their quick office, PDF viewer, HTC's, Twitter, client, Pete, again, all the usual bits and pieces really that you expect to find YouTube and the weather.

This transfer data thing for transferring data from an old phone and different bits and pieces of movie. We've got our videos linked. So for now I mean before all your videos were in the gallery, but the gallery on my desire and I think a lot of the other devices before this one I was called photos which is a bit ambiguous, but now they've renamed that to gallery and in there you can find both photos and videos you can see. You can also view Facebook and Flickr photos as well, which is quite handy, so the HTC Wildfire is designed to be a social networking device and, although you have a Facebook app built in as we mentioned earlier, you do still log into your Facebook and Twitter account when you first start the device up and that can all be viewed in the French stream app. Also, because you've done this, you also get other things synchronized across from Facebook.

So, for example, here, if we go into a specific day in the calendar, you can see. We've got one of my Facebook contacts birthdays here, which is quite handy just so you don't forget also in doing this. It synchronizes other data across. So, for example, here for another man, we've got his Facebook image. You can see a little Facebook logo at the bottom of the image there.

As such you're taking that from his profile account on Facebook same with the mobile brand one there. We also take other information across such as email addresses and different things too. So it's all very nice that it's integrated directly into the contact system. It makes it a lot easier to keep track of different contact details and your friends, birthdays and stuff, and generally, it makes it a lot easier to find contacts. Images for your friends as well, because it automatically synchronizes them across if they have a Facebook account also intelligently notices.

What friends you've got on your Facebook account and on your contacts lists, and it was all intelligently- suggests that they could be linked, and then you can just go ahead and confirm to actually link the accounts. Finally, another handy feature of the Facebook integration on the HTC Wildfire is that, when a call comes in from contacts that has a Facebook account, a link to their contact card, it'll come up with if their birthdays coming up so um, for example, it will tell you how long it is until their birthday how many days- and it will also show you beneath their contact image, their profile image. The latest Facebook status update as well, so if they've just updated with something, and then they give you a call. It'll show that on the screen, so you can maybe talk to them about it. Just quite handy so, just to recap: the HTC Wildfire, it's a pretty nice device.

It's a lower-end device from HTC running the Android 2.1 software. It's got a 5 megapixel ? focus camera the same as a desire. Furthermore, it's got a slightly smaller screen, note, 3.2 inches and only a VGA resolution. So it's quite a low resolution display, and it's not an AMOLED display. It does still, however, have the three and a half mile headphone port as a desire and the external speakers.

So it's just as good for music. It can still take SD micro, SD cards up to 32, gigabytes and capacity, but it has a slightly slower processor. It's 528 megahertz, rather than the gigahertz processor, in the desire. Again, you still get the optical joy part at the bottom. There you still get the HTC Sense user interface.

So all in all, it's a pretty good phone seems to be pretty good value as well, because it has most of the things from the desire, but at a cheaper price point. So I'm resurfaced from mobile burn and under the flow sheet comm. Thanks for watching.
