HTC Wildfire review: Desire Mini

20 July 2010
Occasionally HTC takes a little break from high-end smartphones and dips its toes in the waters of the lower midrange. The HTC Wildfire is a down-sized, down-clocked and down-priced version of the HTC Desire. If Sony Ericsson can do it with the X10...

I just have to say that in Serbia, legend costs almost as twice as wildfire. Legend is almost as expencive as desire.
Even on a 2 year plan at VIP(vodafone daughter company) wildfire is 120euro, while legend is 280e and desire 310e.
Wildfire continues tattoo's legacy of cheap android phones.

      Well, I've got the Legend and would never chose the wildfire considering the little price difference between these two devices.

      @Anonymous: My Legend has absolutely no signal problems although it has a beautiful metal body. This is because the Legends great design is not only beautiful but very sophisticated with the antenna at the back in the rubberised battery cover.

Here(Sweden) the Wildfire goes for 2500Sek(roughly 250 Euro) and the Legend goes for 3900sek(roughly 390 Euro). That's a pretty big difference and aiming at different markets.

                In the last page, you seem to be indicating that the HTC Legend is similar in price to the Wildfire & it would be better off choosing the Legend. If my Information is correct, the Legend is nearly 100 pounds costlier than the Wildfire, so isn't it better to choose the latter???

                  I found an incorrect detail about the Wildfire; the RAM is supposed to be 384 MB, and not 256 MB...

                    Great review thanks GSMarena.

                    Screen res sucks, why HTC? everything else is not bad.

                    Hey guys remember the squishy Nexus One Adobe had or something.. haha i guess HTC liked it!
