HTC Wildfire closely follows the success of the acclaimed HTC Desire and makes the company\u2019s signature HTC Sense  experience accessible to a younger audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cToday\u2019s social networks provide an essential forum for friendship with more than 400 million  users* &#8211; many of whom are young adults &#8211; actively sharing their lives with their  friends through Facebook,\u201d said Florian Seiche, Vice President, HTC EMEA. \u201cHTC Wildfire makes the HTC Sense experience available to young mobile users for the first time. It brings all your communications into one  place, whether it\u2019s through Facebook, Twitter, text messages, images or email, ensuring that you are never far away from the conversation and always  close to your friends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">HTC Wildfire helps you stay  connected with those who are most important to you through HTC Sense, a user  experience focused on putting people at the centre by making phones work in a more  simple and natural way. You won\u2019t miss out on the fun as HTC\u2019s Friend Stream application seamlessly gathers and displays content from social  networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organised stream of updates.  HTC Wildfire enables you to stay up to date with your friends\u2019 posts, comments, alerts and photos, wherever you are. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">In addition, each contact  viewed in HTC Wildfire\u2019s address book includes a thread of recent communications with that person, including when you last spoke, recent text messages  and emails, and social network updates. When your friend calls, HTC Caller  ID displays their Facebook profile photo and latest update, as well as a  reminder if their birthday is fast approaching. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">Thanks to a new app sharing  widget, HTC Wildfire enables you to recommend an application by email, text message  or over social networks. Your friends will receive a link allowing them to find  the application on the Android Market with a single click and download it to  their phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">Florian Seiche continued,  \u201cWe understand that people need a better way to navigate their way through  the tens of thousands of applications that are currently available on the Android  Market. In fact, our own independent research found that consumers are not only  hungry for the latest and most popular applications that their friends are  using, they want an easier way to find and download them. For the first time ever,  you can recommend the newest and coolest apps to a friend or group of friends  with HTC Wildfire. With so many applications to choose from, there\u2019s a world of content to discover and pass along to your friends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">HTC\u2019s latest advanced smartphone is great for viewing and sharing photos on Flickr and for  surfing the internet thanks to its 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen. A  five-megapixel camera with auto focus and LED flash allows you to capture special  moments, while a 3.5mm audio jack and micro SD card slot mean you are never  without your favourite songs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">Availability<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;\">The new HTC Wildfire will be  broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets from Q3  2010. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3  class=\"related_post_title\">Might We Suggest&#8230;<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_post\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.androidguys.com\/2010\/04\/15\/droid-incredible-pre-order-april-19th\/\" title=\"Droid Incredible Pre-Order: April 19th!\">Droid Incredible Pre-Order: April 19th!<\/a><br \/><small>The gang over at Phandroid just broke that the Droid (HTC) Incredible will be available for pre-order in just a few days!
