HTC Wildfire S unboxing and demo video

Hello, this is Matt from Tracy I'm, at Cody, okay and for unboxing, calm and here I have another white box from HTC this time inside we have the HTC Wildfire s, which is the successor to last year's model, HTC Wildfire, which was really popular still on sale right now and has been popular and successful. So we're going to do a quick unboxing video of the Wildfire s, and I come at sim. Just a second and I'll have a look at what's inside. Please do bear in mind that this is a PR model and is obviously slightly pre-release. I'm told that we have the full and final hardware and full and final ROM, but obviously the box is going to be different. When you actually get the full retail version, it won't be a white box.

It will be. You know a much prettier box design inside we have a USB charger, which is obviously white, and then we have a UK three-pin plug to go with it, which just goes in and twists to actually give us the USB charger. We then have here a USB to micro, USB, sync and charge connector to go with the charger and obviously to also connect to your PC or your Mac, to transfer media and so on and sing choirs to from your computer and then finally, we have a headset which has got phone a phone covers and a clip for clipping onto clothing and then the headphones themselves, which are sort of the in-ear style. But it's not the noise isolation, all right, ear, canal type, headphones bit, plastic, a bit kind of cheap feeling, a bit lightweight, inline microphone with a push button with all Cell HTC logo there and a 4-pole through and a half mil jack, which means that we can use or be able to use our own headphone rather than this headset. So that's quite cool, most people, I suspect, like me, will use their own headphones.

So take a look at the handset. First, on the front, we have a 3.2 inch, diagonal display, which is being increased in resolution from masters model last year was all the know. The Wildfire was course a VGA. This is now half VGA, which is 320 by 480 pixels, so a little bump in resolution, underneath we have capacitive touch buttons for home menu back and search and a pretty large loudspeaker on front there, as you can see left hand, side up and down one in control, rocker they're, just simple buttons and below that we have the micro USB connector on the bottom. We have little hole there, which is actually the hole for connecting in your phone, Tom or a lanyard, goes in there, a little post inside and then a little hole.

Next to that which is actually the microphone on the bottom. On the right hand, side there's absolutely nothing to see, but looking at like this, you can see that there is this familiar sort of chin design at the bottom. There just a little up curve, which makes it a little more interesting, also feels kind of nice in the hand. On top, we have the power button and then the three and a half mil headphone connector, which, as I say, can use ordinary headphones or a wired headset, either the one that comes with it or your own little cut out there, which allows us to remove the back cover, which will do so in just a second on the back is the loudspeaker for the ringer, a five megapixel camera and an LED flash. You can see that this is sort of a silver gray finish on the back, which slightly darker and the bezel on the front and the silver is bezel around the front has just a slight pinky purple tinge to it, which it looks quite interesting under this sort and writing on the front here.

Don't know if he'll really make them out that you've got. You know right ambient light sensor and proximity sensor no forward facing camera. If we just open up the back, the back kind of peel was open and there we go like so, and it is the whole of the back cover, including this bit of chin. The bottom comes off which gives us access to the battery compartment, so the battery itself, which is believed twelve hundred and thirty million powers. So that's the reasonably high capacity SIM card goes in here and in the micro SD card goes inside sports up to thirty two-bit Microsoft memory cards, and I'll have a two gig in there at the moment.

I suspect that the actual memory card that you get with it will depend on the carrier or whether you're getting it sim free, I guess to make two gigs could have probably been the minimum if I said to Meg already, once I meant two gigs, obviously so that's sort of a really around the hardware. Let's just turn on then, while we're waiting for it to power up. Let me mention the rest of spec. It's a little lost lighter than last year's model at one hundred and five grams, and slightly smaller, it's 101 millimeters from top to bottom, fifty, nine millimeters, wide and twelve and a half for twelve point. Four millimeters thick feels quite light and, to be honest, compared to some other handsets been reviewing.

Lately such as the H such as the arc, the desire s and the Nexus S if it was quite as small, it's quite refreshing. Actually, it's a nice compact, not tiny, handset particular handset, which is quite nice for months bump as well. In terms of specification in the CPU, is such a 600 megahertz, where previous model was 528 and also has 512 Meg of ROM and 512 Meg of RAM, which you again a slight increase over last year's model.5 megapixel camera is the same as last year. It's a lot of the specification we have built-in GPS support and a GPS Bluetooth 3.0 with the FTP and Oppo support, file, transfer and a2dp support, also built in Wi-Fi, supporting 802, 11, B, G and n standards, which is perfect because in standards becoming a lot more widespread now, which is so great 3g, GPRS edge and daughters of mentioned Wi-Fi. So, let's take a quick look at the OS familiar HTC Sense, lock screen, so we swipe down to unlock.

We have. The first screen asks us which language which obviously we're going to use English United Kingdom. Then we talk about removing the back cover, inserting the sim which we're going to skip hood now. Tell us how to use the keyboard shows you how to transfer settings from another phone set up an internet connection, so we're going to set mo my mobile network or Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi only we'll leave that as it is automatically sync dates, we're going to leave, and we're going to set up a Wi-Fi network. So let me just sign in to a Wi-Fi, and before I actually do, there's the on-screen QWERTY, which is a reasonably large unit, rotates typically takes up half the screen, as you can see there, and it's a fairly standard.

Looking Android QWERTY keyboard now see if I turn the other way. It should be an accelerometer which actually hasn't been activated in the setup. Interestingly, so we'll look at that in again in a moment, so there we are connected to the wireless network there. So we're gone to next, and we'll use the Google location, we're happy with that. We can then sell Google account, email, Actively, account, Facebook, Flickr and so on, I'm going to skip that for just the moment and also skip setting out the date and time not worry about that right now.

So obviously you only have to go through that setup once if you skipped any other things that you wanted to come back to, you can go back through the menu in here, go through launcher, and you can actually just rerun the setup there. If you wanted to so see, we don't need to with that back home, so we helped form it /. So we are presented with the familiar home screen for HTC Sense. So on the main screen, we have the time the weather and the temperature that includes my location, tips, Android, Market messages, email, internet and camera. We can swipe to the left to find french stream for been, Facebook and Twitter integration, and also Flickr for that matter, and then we have the HTC I.

Think it's the news widget there. How about the other way we have people Google, search with voice, search there as well. People actually sets up speed. Dials for your favorites, and then we have a media control there, no music found I think already installed and then finally have a blank page. Obviously we couldn't customize that to our hearts content we should be able to get into the leak view, which is the seven panels represented a smaller icon.

So if we've lost that favorite widget, or we're not sure which panel that is running on, we can just pick it and then, if we hold down on any blank space, we can add different scenes. So we can change the scene selection for various modes, or we can add widgets such as calendars, clocks, Facebook, widgets, Google search latitude and so on. There's quite a few there that you can choose from, so that's quite good, or indeed we could actually change the skin. So we can change the overall theme or the handset -. This is a fairly new introduction with this version of HTC Sense and the new round of handsets that, come with the S moniker.

There are a two skins on this particular model, but we can download more using the get more feature, their northern change. Anything just at the moment will come back out, and we'll go back home tapping the home button again will bring me into leaf, and so we can go in and out of leap mode buttons along the bottom, or you've. Seen me use the launcher button already, so we can get and see all of our apps. So we can scroll through our list of apps and there are three pages of apps there already. Then we have the favorites, so we can add thing or frequent.

So pretty quite a little stuff is in here, and you see the set-up. If we want to rerun, it is already in there and downloaded. So all of our downloaded apps they're, all recently downloaded apps are going to be shown there ? back home. Also, the bottom. You have the phone so very important.

A nice straightforward, dialer with large buttons, capacitive touchscreen, means that it works very well, nothing terribly unusual or clever about it, but it's just one of those things, it's nice and simple, and we can turn off and on the buttons. If we had any contacts already synchronized when you start dialing a number, it will actually show up, and you think that matches both in terms of the name or the number that you're dialing, which is quite good. We haven't, got anybody synchronized just yet, so I'm going to go and sign in to Android Market, because I allow me to start synchronizing up as well. So, let's slightly into a Google account with a username and do we have there? We go. You have the landscape keyboard.

Now that we passed the set-up, the accelerometer is working for both portrait and landscape keyboards, so in landscape orientation. Obviously the keys are larger, and we can use them both thumbs there to do our typing. So let me just go and sign in to that. So we just sign in, and we'll allow the backup and restore, and we will do the finish setup and accept the terms and conditions, but it should take us into Android Market, which I'm sure almost everybody will have seen before. But the good thing about signing in to Android Market is that it will also start setting up my Google email account because they are linked, so you perhaps there, and you have games, and you know.

Obviously the HTC recommends stuff there as well. Every time I touch the crest of screen all the capacitive buttons at the bottom. There is slightly vibrate from inside so simulating like a haptic feedback, which is either love it or hate it. I guess, but I think it works quite well. You'll notice, of course, my icons at the top, which we could just pull down, and we can see that the last thing I used was Android Market and in the phone, and it also was just downloading something there- an update which it has already just installed.

But that's what one the icons was there. It's telling me to set the current time updatable available, in which we could actually go in and actually look at. So we have had a number of updates are available for us, so we could download our date for Google, Maps, Facebook, Gmail or YouTube I'm, not going to do that. Just now, but see I will do say before actually do the full review. So we just come back out there now, if I go into launcher and I go and find my Gmail, hopefully yep there we go.

It's already started putting down my Gmail, which I've shown you use for reviewing handsets so there we go. That's already bought out my mail, which is quite good now I can sign in to another email account if I want to which we can do through here. So because our Microsoft Exchange email, all pop3, IMAP email, accounts, ? again I'm not going to do that right now, but I will do that. When we come to the review, we've got calendar camcorder, camera FM radio, which is great the French stream application, which is the other part of in-stream widget. So I haven't signed in 20 social networks.

Yet I could do so for one to two. So I've got the choice of Facebook, Flickr or Twitter. Again not going to do that right now, because it's going to get complex, but we'll do that later on Facebook as an application, you can see there, there's a gallery application, HTC likes an HTC hub or the hub is for no, it's not gonna. Allow me to use that and HTC likes. Let's see if that's going to know both of them are going to require me to have a SIM card.

I'll do that later, but that's sort of our variance of sort of like Android Market, it's stuff, that's typical! It's actually recommended by HTC we've got our internet browser which immediately wants to a fuel, and we're not going to go there. We have to go to our site. Now the screen is fairly small in terms of what I've been used to recently, so I'm having to think a little about being careful to type in, and it's something I know I'll get used to, and it's working quite well. Actually, it's been quite forgiving for my large fingers, I'm going to say it's actually quite nice to have a smaller handset for a change there. We go, and it's loading very quickly, I'm using broadband Wi-Fi connection, but that loaded really quickly rendered really quickly too, and despite being only a half BJ display, you start a perfect job of actually displaying the page.

Now I can't read the text in that resolution. It possibly could do this way around yeah, even a small text there I can read, but I can zoom in and out using two fingers for pinch and pull zooming, or I can tap on a body of text and zoom in actually look at a lump of tics like that which will reflow the text so actual fits on screen that works really well. The colors are cars. Good and display is very sensitive, and I say considering it's only a heart, only 1/2 BGO display, and it's a 3.2 inches. That's not bad at all.

Why it's totally usable in that resolution, sure a lot of people are going to prefer larger screens, but that's not what this phone's all about. Also in here we have latitude and Google Maps such as Poppins Google Maps. If we picked up a location, yep, we've already picked up a location which is really great. So that's very quick I am indoors, and it's already pick up a GPS location isn't bad at all some house. It's done even pick them up at all indoors.

So that's not bad at all and there we go it's free. It seems very quick. Actually the handset call seems quite snappy, and then we come back out there. What else have we got? Let's also look at YouTube and go ahead and search for that's right about right. The OD meet beam.

Why YouTube a lei so there we are. We have all the unboxing videos that I've done in the last three years all listed there, so that's just jump into one of them. It's buffering, and it's already playing so the delay there, what maybe five or six seconds in buffering started playing and if I turn the handset. This way it's full screen and if I turn it the other way there we go is called screen, and then you've got all the bits down the bottom, such as the description related videos. At any user comments, I really do like the YouTube application on Android I think it's actually the best implementation of a YouTube app.

So it's very good in terms of whales. We've got well I think that covers the basics. We've got the weather app, which she's going to give me a five-day forecast and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The voice recorder, videos which we're not gonna, have anything for stocks. They don't think many people stocks are going in the direction of iron, but the voice recorder, their peep, which is a little Twitter client, which is quite lightweight, but what it's very well and what the settings menu that we can go into.

Also, HTC customize the settings menu to a slight. You know a small degree should make it little more interesting with the colored icons. So we can actually see it bounces and there we can see the version of the phone which I'm feeling really blind. Okay, fine identity model tells us that it's the Wildfire s device information, and we've got software information in here. So it's Android 2.3.3. What's your gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1, so I think that covers the really does cover a lot of the basics of the HTC Wildfire s. I have a full review for you over the next couple of weeks, if not sooner I'm going to put it to the test, can I actually be using it, and I'm really looking forward to using a slightly smaller handset for a change.

I love that review for you soon as I, possibly can in the meantime. If you want to follow us on Twitter, it's Twitter. com, slash, Tracy and Matt or facebook. com slash Tracy I'm at Cal, U K. Please do feel free to ask me any questions.

I will try and cover that either in the review, or by directly applying to you, I'll, be back soon with some more videos on reviews on Tracy I'm at Cody UK. But for now, thanks for watching.
