Desire vs Wildfire

Hi,

I think these two phones have been brought up before. I have a decent idea on their differences, but wanted some input on what people thought from using them, plus their relative value given their cost. I have found both on a 24 month contract (similar mins/texts) for £20 (desire) and £15 (wildfire).

As far as I can tell, Desire is better because it has:
Better video (would like to watch videos, but not essential).
Better processor/ram.

I would like to use it as an mp3 player, plus some video/internet usage will probably come handy.
Any other differences? Usability? I'm not sure if I really need the desire, but £5 difference doesn't seem that much..

Thanks!

    When surfing the web the wildifire strugles rendering the flash content of websites.

    Meaning the flash parts of the website take longer to load.

    Almost all sites these days have flash content, even if that content is adverts.

    Unfortunatley I can't find the youtube video now, but as far as I remember the wildfire was 3-4 seconds slower rendering the flash content on the test page.
