HTC Wildfire Graphite

Android Operating System

The HTC Wildfire runs the latest version of the Google Android operating system. Version 2.1 brings exciting new features to Android such as improved menus and navigation whilst keeping the core operating system intuitive and user friendly. Download applications from the Android Market app store, customise multiple home screens with shortcuts to your favourite content and access Google services such as Google Maps, G-Mail and Google Search all with the Android powered HTC Wildfire.

Free Google Maps Navigation

Turn your Google Android smartphone into a powerful Sat Nav device with free voice guided navigation. Google Maps Navigation offers turn by turn voice guided navigation, text and voice search with support for keywords to find local services, satellite and street view and the ability to navigate to friends addresses listed in your contacts. Google Maps will even remember recent destinations and features a wide range of points of interest.

HTC Sense

The HTC Wildfire features HTC's intuitive Sense user interface. Make it your own with HTC Sense, letting you personalise and create a phone just right for you. Sense UI lets you add widgets to your homescreen, also letting you customise the size and style, flick through multiple windows so all your favourites are at your fingertips and search for contacts, Twitter Tweets, Emails and much more. HTC Sense also brings all your contacts together in one place. When you view people in your contacts list you see the different ways to get in touch; Email, social networking updates such as Facebook and even what photos your friends have recently uploaded. You can even upload your own photos taken with the Wildfire's 5.0 Megapixel camera!

Touchscreen

Previously known as the Buzz, the Wildfire features an impressive 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen display. Use your fingers to navigate through menus; the Wildfire uses capacitive technology to respond solely to your fingers for a more responsive experience and even supports multi-touch in the web browser, maps and photos! The phone even has a built in accelerometer which automatically rotates the screen and a proximity sensor which switches the display to standby mode when on a call.

3G

The Wildfire features 3G which stands for third generation, and the system is the third generation in the evolution of mobile networks, after analogue and GSM. 3G offers high speed data transfers and the ability to make video calls between compatible mobile phones.

HSDPA

HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset. HSDPA is often referred to as Mobile Broadband.

Wi-Fi

With Wi-Fi you can use your Google phone to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.

GPS

With built in GPS you can use the Wildfire to locate your position, plan your journey, and as a general SatNav device, when used in conjunction with compatible mapping software. Optimised for use with Google Maps, you'll never get lost with the Wildfire by your side!

Web Browser

With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.

5.0 Megapixel Camera

Thanks to the built in 5.0 megapixel camera, with auto focus and video capture, the Google Android phone takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog or favourite photo sharing site such as Flickr and Facebook.

Bluetooth v2.1

Thanks to Bluetooth wireless technology, data transmission is quick and easy. And what's more, with Bluetooth wireless printing, sending images or documents to a compatible printer is child's play wherever you are, allowing you to produce quality printouts effortlessly.

Music Player

With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC. The HTC Wildfire boasts a memory card slot and will support up to 32GB MicroSD cards letting you store thousands of tracks on the phone.

Email Client

The HTC Wildfire has an email client, which will allow you to receive email from your own personal email account, and send pictures, videos or text emails to any email account anywhere in the world. Email access on the phone is simple to set up and a cost effective way of keeping in touch.
