HTC wildfire

isthatreduced

I am looking at the HTC Wildfire it is a smaller version of the Desire and loads cheaper.

Is their any difference other than screen size?
The battery life is better so thats a plus,Play will have it next month unlocked for £229.99.
I am due to upgrade next month but don't think I will get as good a deal as I did previously.

Can't see much if any difference.

Here's a link to the HTC spec http://www.htc.com/uk/product/wildfire/overview.html

I can see the CPU Processing speed is 528 MHz on the wildfire and
1GHz on the Desire ,how much difference would it make ?

Depends on what software you were thinking of running and how many progs you want running at once?

As a phone 528 MHz would be fine, but if you want to run half a dozen progs and the sat nav at the same time it might struggle a bit !

the wildfire only has a QVGA screen (240x320)

As Pinkllama says the screen resolution is much lower. The processor is slower. It has touch sensitive buttons instead of real ones. There's a brief review here.

Essentially it's a budget phone designed to cash in on the success of the Desire. If the desire is an updated hero then the Wildfire is an updated Tattoo.
