HTC Wildfire S has been released as a new version of its affordable Wildfire phone, available in grey, black and purple colors. We expect HTC Wildfire S to be priced between $223.790 and $335.685 when its launched in India.
The new Wildfire is a lot like its predecessor, but with better screen resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the latest edition of Android for smartphones.
HTC Wildfire S Tech Specs
HTC Wildfire S has a 600 MHz processor and uses HTC’s Sense user interface. Sense has some nifty featurs such as a Polite Ringer that goes silent when the phone is turned over; and a clock that uses the phone’s GPS to automatically update the time when the device is traveling across time zones. There’s also a windows-type application interface where multiple running apps are visible.
The new HTC Wildfire S, in contrast to the previous version, lacks an optical trackpad. It depends entirely on the touchscreen and four navigation keys – for home, search and back etc for inputs.
Measuring 101.3 x 59.4 x 12.4 mm, Wildfire has a 3.2 inch touchscreen with display resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. It weighs 105 grams, has 512 MB of ROM and as much RAM. The phone uses HSPA and WCDMA at 900 and 2100 MHz; and quad-band GSM, GPRS and EDGE. It uses Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP and Wifi 802.11 b/g/n networks, and has a micro USB port. Wildfire is equipped wit a digital compass, proximity and light sensors, and has a 5 mega pixel camera with auto focus and LED flash. The device uses a 1230 mAh battery which can support about 6 hours of talk time on WCDMA or 7 hours on GSM.
HTC Wildfire S Price
HTC’s Wildfire is likely to be among the cheapest Gingerbread devices for a few months. The Taiwanese make has used the latest version of Android as well as Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP – both brand new technologies, despite Wildfire being a budget device with price ranging between $223.790 and $335.685.

According to people who had a chance to review Wildfire at MWC 2011 in Barcelona, the phone’s keyboard is slightly uncomfortable to use in portrait mode. One tends to hit the wrong buttons, such as enter instead of delete, and perhaps even the other way round. The phone’s inbox displays messages as conversation threads, a feature common on Android. HTC Sense has a customization menu that can be accessed from the homescreen. It allows the user to change the phone’s skin, change the wallpaper and make changes to the home screen.
