At present we have only Wildfire in brown and I wondered if there is a point to wait the black one? Is anyone out there who has seen both of them "live"?
I'm interested in more businesslike looks and unfortunately the first impression of the brown handset didn't work out for 100%. Thank you in advance for reply!

                    It's a superb phone. Except for the low resolution, it's perfect. Check out this review by Brighthub: http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/htc/reviews/78580.aspx

                        Hey guys got mine couple of days back. It's awesome. Truely imagination at work. I must admit that its way above my imagination thank-you HTC for such a usable and affordable smartphone. You are right the review is biased no doubt about it. Anyway guys this is defenitly owners pride, a pleasure to use.

                          This is a completely biased review. Anyone could easily guess it. It only highlights the negatives throughout the review which you don’t find in any other review. Hmmm… what would gsmarena get profited by this??? This is a budget mobile for the starters of android devices. Guys this have sense ui which is the best of the lot in the market now. It has the same hardware configuration of legend minus the screen and processor speed difference of only “72 MHz” processor. See the table below from the comparison page of the site. it’s a best value for money mobile out there now. Grab yours
