Both include Gorilla Glass, so the screen will be shock and scratch proof. Out of the two, I'd get the Wildfire S. The build quality is great, especially since the phone includes metal and the Gorilla Glass. Samsung phones always tend to be plastic-y, and the back covers are flimsy. Yuck. On top of this, I think you'll find HTC's Sense UI more appealing, than Samsung's TouchWiz interface.
Dylan.

Anonymous, i see that its a dilemma for you to choose a phone. you have the choice between HTC and sony ericsson.
As you may have read before, this phone is a nice phone and you better buy this one. But if it doesnt fit for you, choose a model from sony ericsson as you will be very happy. Whats ur age?? if your a young man, its sure that you love music, films, pics(existing and taking pics). so a s.ericsson will surely make you happy. moreover, s.e phones have beautiful design and specially run under android 2.3.
Nokias phone may be expensive but are still with the old OS and features. So make your choice and get your phone.
