We had a chance to play with HTC Wildfire, the new smartphone that will be a successor to the model HTC Tattoo. The newest addition to the HTC Android porfolio looks like a mini Desire. As you can see in the following table, it even has a capacitive screen (Tattoo did not). The only drawback is of course the screen, but since the resolution is lower than desire, it does not need a Snapdragon 1GHz processor, and works like a charm.
HTC Wildfire could be a big hit, considering the expected price and mass market audience that could afford it. It packs a new and improved version of HTC Sense, integrating notifications from social networks directly with a contact during a call. It will be available in cool colors as well (gunmetal, black, white, red).
The Wildfire looks cute standing next to Nexus One, maybe an ideal second phone ?
As we witnessed ourselves, Google has been giving away free Nexus One phones for all registered atendees at Android Developers Lab's technical conferences at Mobile World Congress. While we are entering this text Nexuses are being unboxed and a bunch of people are walking trough Barcelona with grey new phones and pink X signs on their hands.
It has been a long time since our last post regarding the upcoming HTC Bravo. In the meantime, Nexus One has hit the market and it is now time for the comparation based on the information we know.
We can see that Bravo will ceirtanly be a winner. The only unknown data is the amount of RAM in Bravo, and there are rumors that it will be 512MB afterall. We'll keep you posted
The reason ai.rs blog does not do classic unboxing videos lies in the fact that the phones we get are in the test/sample phases, and we get them for couple of hours. Nexus One unboxing you're about to see will knock you out
The first 1GHz Snapdragon Android phone is here. Nexus One has been the hot topic of all the technology blogs around the world.
Engadget has the full review here. As far as we European users go, Vodafone has announced that in just a few weeks it will have it in it's offer. It appears that HTC outdid itself, making the most powerful Android smartphone on the market. It looks very similar to the Bravo that we announced a while ago, and it looks like HTC will hold it's breath until the Q2 to roll out the Bravo (probably with new version of Sense). Will there be enough Nexus One models in the stock for all the interested customers ? $530 is just great, with the dollar being so down, can we expect a european Bravo to be under 500€ ?
Can and will you wait for the Bravo or try to get the Nexus One ? Shout in the comments and enjoy the following specs:
Processor: 1GHz Snapdragon
Display: 3.7" AMOLED WVGA (480x800)
Memory: 512MB RAM + 512MB ROM + microSD (4GB, expandable to 32MB)
