Are you going to buy Wildfire S?

Are you going to buy Wildfire S?
If not tell reason.
I'm going to buy because it is very small and easy to handle.
It contain gingerbread os.
Nice look.
Etc.....

Im considering it........
Im due for my upgrade in 2 months and I think Im going to get the Desire HD/Omnia 7, sell it and buy a little android device to play around with and have some cash leftover.....

Wildfire s has 256k color is it true?
Bcoz wildfire has 16M color.
So the Quality of image in Wildfire s is lower than Wildfire?

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

that seems to be the date that its available sim free...
I think its available on contract a bit earlier.

I read on Cnet that Wildfire s will be running 2.4 version of gingerbread (what they mean is 2.3.3 probably with the bug fixes) and a new sense with app filtering and new notification pull down menu multi tasking.
Yeah I would definitely upgrade for a better screen alone cos face it wildfire home screen fonts looks fuzzy and good games and apps are out of reach. But I thank it for bringing me into the Android world.
Rest in peace.

Isnt this just like the HTC legend now... Spec wise?
I'm sure many budget people will. I think I'm going for the DHD now as it is cheaper.

I cant wait for wildfire s.
So I bought Htc desire.

I already have a wildfire and I do not buy the wildfires.
I'm tired of the small screen resolutions ...

When's it due to be out?

The quoted battery life is worse than the old Wildfire!?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App

Have read that wildfire s has front facing camera, big improvement there but doubt the quality. The camera and media player has always been downside of wildfire.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire

Even I am willing to get Wildfire S, provided its priced decently.
Else will go for LG Optimus One P500.
Pretty much confused between the two

I have one of these. To be honest it is one HELL of a difference to the normal wildfire. Live wallpapers work smooth, angry birds works smooth and just the look and feel of the device is way better. Comes with gingerbread.
Flaw is the battery life is utter poop. With my 3G on, music on, exchange email the battery lasts about 6 hours if that.
No HTC flashlight or the office applications either. No Tweeter (game). Seems that they got rid of alot of apps. HTC sense works so much better.

^For how much did you get Wildfire S for?

Is it my next beast?

Hello my nerds!
My question is simple, maybe a bit stupid but what'so'ever:
What's your opinion 'bout the device (HTC ONE X)? I'm going to upgrade my old htc desire with one after the Samsung S3 is released but an ugly piece of plastic-stuff.
Is this piece of HTC intelligence SEXY OR WHAT?
Cheers

Stay away from the us one x. It has no micro SD, no quad core and 4g lte is almost non existant

since you are a recognized developer, and from HTC Desire just like me. COme on in. We love devs!
it is sexy and development is hot plus long term software support. stay away from Samsung.

JUST REMEMBER,
you interact with the screen the most
and the one x has got a hell of a good screen
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

The one x is the better choice believe me. Above everything else you should look at a manufacturers past performance. Samsung are woeful when it comes to releasing updates, whereas HTC keep dedicated teams on each model for two years and updates are regular.
Another reason is sense 4. It is the best android launcher ever.

I was going to buy the Galaxy S3... But I got to experience it two days ago and I hated it. The speed and the screen are okay... The interface is yucky though as well as the keyboard.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I heard something about nvidia tegra 3 update in this thread, is it real? will nvidia update drivers for tegra 3 in one x ? becouse now i think it is kind of lame, so much power and still has some lags in the glowing ball app which is made for tegra 3 ....

I upgraded from the Desire to the HOX & haven't regretted it once, when i saw the SGS3 i was glad i never waited.
The screen on the HOX is far superior & the HOX feels like a superior phone too, besides although the HOX had minor overheating until the first updates they weren't as bad as this.

I was initially a Gnex user. Never thought of s3 or HOX. HOX looks cool and awesome but I never want it cuz i want nexus anytime. S3 got announced n I thought it was meh.. Shortly after that, I my nexus had a mobo failure. Went for warranty and sold it. Got one x instead.

I am not sure how it happened. Checking some twitter, laying down on my bed. Then few minutes I can't turn it on ever again. The center said it was mobo replacement. Sold it cuz that time one x just released. I missed my nexus though, if I got any extra cash I would buy it back. But, I never regretted getting HOX.

Is the desire worth buying?

As the the topic name says.. is it worth buying nowadays, i can get it for a pretty cheap price.

If you can get it really cheap why not? lol, i mean, it's a good smartphone. pretty good actually. obviously you must be aware of its limitations.

Only if you're going to root it and get into custom ROM's.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

Obviously there are newer phones right now! But really desire has been a really nice smartphone so, if you don't care for the latest games you'll have a perfect phone!

IF you can live with 150-200MB app storage (which is the biggest problem on the Desire for me personally, as I don't like app2sd for several reasons)
... and you don't care about the reasonably small screen size (which is what I like very much on the Desire)
... and you don't care that the phone doesn't have a front Camera (for skyping and alike)
... AND you can get it really cheap, why not.
As MidnightDevil said, it's a good smartphone. Not the quickest one anymore, but I like it

The Desire is probably one of the best low budget Smartphones you can get nowadays. Last time I checked you pay around 50€ for used ones.
Like Jestor said, if the limited internal storage isn't a problem for you (app2sd is working very well with a fast SD-card), it's probably worth the money.
And it's faster than most recently low budget phones.

I'm using a One S now but my girlfriend still has a Desire. I still miss it, the New phone is nice but not everything is an improvement and I would still be happy with a Desire and the price they are selling for here is well worth it. Definitely need to root it and change h boot for more memory though.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

The trackball of the desire is still great! Still worth buying in my opinion.

It depends what the price is.
I can get a desire (used) for about £90 of a HTC One X for £450.
Its a great phone for the price. I've had mine for 2 and a half years and have enjoyed using it. I've been tempted by OneX and S3 but have decided to stick with my desire for a while and buy a nexus 7 tablet instead (£159)
My desire is running ICS smoothly so I'm happy

You have to know that You have not that much space to install Apps. As another User said...round about 150MB...
But if You use a custom Rom with root and an other recovery You can partition Your SD-Card as ext3 or ext4 and u have enough space for your apps.
I have a Desire, too for 2 years now and i'm happy with it.
I'm using ICS and it runs nice.
I would buy it if You can get it cheap.

if it's cheap, buy it!

it's worth about $150 and is still a good phone

Lol i bought two for 50€…

Yes if...
If you want to have a pretty good performance smartphone, and you can get it cheap. I have a desire and.it was a Xmas present, and I love it! It is easy to root too!

Next step up

What would be your next phone and why?
Mine would be the Desire C or xperia tipo as I love their small sizes and they're cheap enough for me to amount to.

Nexus one....for more and more latest android support...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app

Nexus 7 .

my next phone would be in 2013 with processor>=1ghz, screen size>=3.7 inch, good xda dev support with budget little over wfs..I dont like sony/lg or other company handsets...My next smartphone would b either Samsung or HTC...ill search for such phone nxt year

People don't buy single core phones. They are slow and outdated. Btw my next phone Samsung flagship or latest nexus

I'll probably buy a tablet........preferably the Microsoft Surface

Any android phone that is quadcore.
Maybe a phablet like galaxy note or 10.1 or 2

Xperia tipo or neo l whatever is good by next year.....
Accidentally this post from my awesome Wildfire S

I would love to have a better phone but I would have to wait until 2014 or win a competition.

Interesting thread. I suggest adding a poll with brand names (HTC, Sony, Samsung, ...). Also make the thread title a bit better.
For now I'm not going to leave the wildfire s. I want to keep the device as long as possible. Why something else if it still works?
A good device for me has an 3.7 inch screen maximum and good specs and battery life. I'm looking what Sony will bring in future. Their Xperia sola was a good example but it has bad battery life and no development.
So let's see what the future brings. Let's hope manufacturers don't act stupid and release some very good 3.7 inch phones with a large battery. I miss the old days with only one charge a week ...

What would you choose?

My Desire is still running good after so many years, but i think it really is time to upgrade. But I am not sure what to choose: Xperia Z or S3 Neo?
I wanted something from HTC, but it's either too expensive, either to weak(specs).
Also Ive bought a class 10 32GB card, so no nexus 5..
What would you choose?

Between those two here I would chose Xperia Z2 or Z3 because I'm not a fan of Samsung (besides S2 which is pretty good). But you can try also LG G2 or G3 which have good specs or even try Xiaomi MI3. These chinese are doing a great job with this phones lately!
Good luck!

Get HTC desire 500 or sensation or evo 3d.

Yh they good alright. My gf has one. U not think they a bit big? Chunky like?

After my beloved desire I've had mamy phones. If you want to stay with android take HTC.

Desire s now.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Free mobile app

I have a nexus 5 and really like it but I would take an HTC m8 probably just because of the build quality and how long the desire has lasted me.
Grass is always greener on the other side.
Only using my desire as a daily phone because I work in construction. Small compact phone that seems to be indestructible even without a case
