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 ...

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 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 ...

Agree 100%. Window phones are great. but don't have as many customizations or applications. Coming from an android you might get bored.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

exactly. if u like modifications then choose dhd. if u want to try something new then buy hd7. imo better will be dhd because you can modify this phone in almost every way which fit to you and also you have much more available apps than windows has

UPDATE:dhd is sold out in this store i will look up more
Thanks for help
And i forgot to ask you about galaxy nexus s is it worth buying?

Well, the Nexus S still has a pretty good dev community.
Even though Google dropped it from the official 4.2 update list, there's already custom ROMs for it.
Overall, I'd recommend this over the DHD or HD7

im on the sensation XE and i am pretty happy. full s-off, decent rom development. free sim unlock and fully running jellybean.:laugh:

I think u shouldn't buy something from HTC (One V same hardware as DHD and its actually 3 years old) and because of the miserable build quality of htc phones im really pissed off from my Htc one X
Why the Nexus S not the GNex? in germany the galaxy Nexus cost just 20 bucks more i think u should buy this phone it's really great!
I personally switch to the Nexus 4

Same I would go for the Nexus 4. In the UK the Nexus 4 is £279 for the 16 gb. For the specs that is a big deal!

Thank you guys all of yo,as a matter of fact i got the best offer for nokia lumia 710 which is WP phone so i will be selling my wildfire for sure and buying lumia
Thanks again
Cheers

One thing you should keep on mind that wp7 devices will not be updated to wp8 whereas android phones van be updated to latest version even if the manufacturer stops updating so if you want to buy windows phone then buy only wp8 else you will be stuck forever.

What is your next phone after HOX and NO S-OFF

With HTCs latest move of removing htcruu.com and no s off.
As well as build problems. I.e, sensation death grip and hox, yellow spots, wifi.
What will you be moving to next and why?

I have 4 choices , note 3, iPhone 5s , next nexus or the one x successor with TegrA 4, I love my one x but u think that Htc should improve the audio and optimise the os better.

Re: What is your next phone after HOX and NO A-OFF
To be honest my first android phone was HTC ,I had all the phones with all the problems you mentioned ,I think I need to get away to Samsung phones and see the performance ,get accustomed with rooting and all with Samsung and then decide if its worth it ,cause honestly I couldn't care less about sense and built quality if performance and battery life is good ,the end of the day phone life is 2 years.im Sure a plastic Samsung will last 2 years rather than good built quality with component deffects and all the crap that HTC is doing now

htc one x
htc again

Me too. I like sense but feed up of HTC and their antics. I'm going to move to xperia z
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App

i had the htc tytn then desire and now one x ,next phone will be samsung,there so much easier to mod ,cant htc see thats why samsung have a huge customer base,

My OneX stopped working due to water damage. Not stocked anymore so insurance gave me a GS3 32g.
Had one when released and hated it.
New one on jellybean is good though.
Still miss the one x but Samsung aren't really that bad. Stock vs stock goes to HTC with Sense.
That being said I can't wait for Xperia Z.

Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium

No more HTC i'm done with them. I might go for Xperia XL or any other device .. Maybe the next MIUI device rumored with T4.

I dont know yet, i have hox and sg3, so i guess no one this year, no more HTC for sure... No soff, so, by htc. Gonna break for sure, at least phones. Will keep building only windows phones, so i predict competition with nokia only.
So the only brand is Sony and Samy, Sony will see no updates as it should, son maybe ending with Samsung.
Thanks for everything Htc, great phone, tegra is great on gaming but battery sucks in JB. Uncontrolled ota, ruu encrypted.. And more.. But well, hox still a great phone but .won't buy an htc phone anymore. Even if they give us SOFF.
And i dont lie.

Samsung S4..

Απ: What is your next phone after HOX and NO S-OFF
If S4 has awesome design then I ll go for it. Otherwise HOX until sth nice pops up!
On the road using my HOX

Unless HTC goes back to its glory days, this November I am getting a GS4 or the GNote 3.

I'm done with HTC. If I want to have a expensive peace of crap I will buy a IPhone. Because of there strategie to keep the devices locked within the future they should keep this trash!
I'm waiting for my Note2.

Some interesting comments. Seems there is abit of frustration with htc. Was going to go for the butterfly but All butterfly has is a bigger screen and krait.
but I'm moving to Sony Now. Atleast they do not break promises or let customers down
