HTC Wildfire Black

The HTC Wildfire black is often seen as the smaller, cheaper version of the HTC Desire. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing though as the Desire is one of the best phones available but expensive. Some of the best things about the phone include the Android OS, great connectivity options and easy sync with social networking. To find the best HTC Wildfire deals make sure you check the listings below which are constantly updated on a daily basis.

Some of the best features of the HTC Wildfire black include that it has built in GPS, an address book that can merge social networking and address book contacts, built in FM Radio and support for multi touch. It’s also relatively cheap compared to other phones such as the HTC Desire even though it doesn’t look like a cheap or budget phone. In fact, it looks slim and attractive compared to many other smart phones on the market.HTC Wildfire Black

One downside of the HTC Wildfire black is that the screen has a relatively low resolution at only 240×320 pixels. This is largely only a problem when looking at websites though and isn’t too much of an issue. It does mean that the beautiful Android OS isn’t shown of in all its glory which is a bit of a shame. Even so, the phone looks great and the display is vibrant. A major bonus is the capacitive touch screen which allows for prevision control without the need for a long fingernail or stylus.

There are very few downsides to the HTC Wildfire black apart from the screen size. One other problem is that it can occasionally be unresponsive when tapped although this isn’t a problem at all times. The small problems are more than made up for by the bonus features such as app sharing and Flash Lite support. The FM radio is a nice inclusion too and vies you an extra option when travelling.

Here are some of the specifications of the HTC Wildfire black. It comes with 384 MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM. There is a miniUSB port and a miniSD slot for expansion of the memory. It comes with a 5MP camera that can record video. The camera includes smile detection, geo tagging and autofocus as well as an LED flash.  The processor runs at 528MHZ and hence is fast enough for the majority of daily tasks. Other features include a digital compass and built in WiFi.

The HTC Wildfire black is a fantastic phone and is definitely an alternative to the Desire if you don’t have the money to afford the latter. It was released in May 2010 and hence is a relatively new phone but there are still some cheap HTC Wildfire black deals to be found.

The operating system for the HTC Smart silver is called Qualcomm BREW although the UI is HTC Sense. Although the OS doesn’t have as many features and add-ons as Android it’s a solid platform to use. The camera on the phone is 3.2MP and comes with auto focus capabilities. An LED flash is also included allowing you to take great photos in low light conditions. Although the phone can record video it does so at a low frame rate compared with more advanced smart phones. There is also no option to upload video to sharing sites such as YouTube.

One of the features of the HTC Smart silver edition is that it comes with scenes. These allow for different configurations of the phone depending on the users mood. As with most HTC phones the Smart is built with customization in mind and allows you to change pretty much everything to suit your personal taste. Apps included in the phone include email, web browsing, calendar, music players and more. The phone also comes with a single view to get updates on Facebook, email and texts making it easy to keep in touch. There is built in support for Twitter.HTC Smart Silver

As you’d expect from a cheap HTC phone the technical specifications aren’t great in comparison to other mobiles on the market. For everyday use though, the HTC Smart silver is more than good enough. Some of the specs include a 300MHz processor, video recording, digital zoom for the camera, a 2.8” screen and a battery talk time of up to 7.5 hours. According to HTC the battery will last 600 hours in standby mode. The display is resistive touch sensitive. One downside is that the phone doesn’t come with WiFi connectivity so all internet browsing is done via the networks which can be expensive depending on your contract.

Overall, if you’re looking for a budget smart phone then the HTC Smart silver is definitely a good option. It looks great, has a number of advanced features and is an affordable price.
