what is going on everybody I'm over from TechnoBuffalo calm and this is the t-mobile HTC Wildfire s it's the Wildfire s t-mobile's newest HTC Android phone and this one is a little bit more budget-friendly than the higher-end devices like the sensation it's available now for $79.99 after $50 mail-in rebate with two-year service agreement so 80 bucks after rebate kind of a mid tier I guess you would say phone but I still got Android Gingerbread Android 2.3 Gingerbread it's got a full touch screen it's got HTC Sense it's got swipe it's got a 5 megapixel camera it's not 4G its 3G HSPA 7.2 maximum download speeds so it's 3G not 4G but it is a quad-band world phone if you're gonna be traveling abroad this one comes in two finishes black and white and your the whole idea here is a little bit smaller it's a 600 megahertz processor but because of the display is smaller and fewer pixels you don't really need the one gigahertz processor to move the pixels around but it's a nice compact phone obviously they send us the white version while this is booting up 3.2 inch display so I will get the full specs for you and the graphics at the bottom of the screen down there see down there at the graphics so how this is booting up also in the Box you get pretty basic you get your manuals you get a USB cable and then you get the modular power adapter alright and again the phone does run Android 2.3 Gingerbread but it's not the latest version of HTC Sense it's sense 2.1 so we'll get this set up here english tan on screen cameras get our on-screen keyboard skip automatically sync data sure set up Wi-Fi we'll do that later the location sure 3 I will set up a council later just so we can see what the device looks like so on the front you've got your screen you got your four capacitive touch buttons on the bottom there your earphone speaker grille on the Left spine rocker switch for volume mini USB port on the right spine nothing on the bottom you've got your microphone openings on the top power lock switch and three-and-a-half millimeter headphone jack man I remember back in the days when I used to complain all the time why don't they put headphone jacks on phones and now they all have them it's great five megapixel camera on the back with flash LED flash 3x digital zoom just as video recorder on the tearsheet they gave me it doesn't list the specs of the video recorder so we will have to find out about that what's going on here I thought I saw something oh all right I thought I thought basketball there so that's sad I hope he's okay anyway so here's the phone itself and again it's the older version of sense but you've got all your HTC widgets you've got your Google search widgets and everything as well friend stream keep track of your Facebook and Twitter updates the notifications menu here the notifications drawer when you pull it down you've got the quick settings tab there which is kind of nice you can easily get to your most used settings and then we'll go back to the home screen take a look at the apps see what extra apps are installed you've got four one one and more the HTC apps of course friend stream hub that kind of stuff HTC likes my account my device t-mobile mall Slacker Radio pre-installed visual voicemail Wi-Fi calling as well which is cool so you know not too much extra bloatware if you will installed on the device

over 3G right now not connected to Wi-Fi at the moment mobile version of our site loading up phone feels nice you know it's a little bit plasticky but but relatively high quality plastic feeling got a nice kind of matte finish not quite soft grip but a nice matte finish to it and the size you know I'm a fan of these smaller phones oh boy I don't actually ever buy one I keep saying I'm a fan of these smaller phones but I never actually buy one but I in theory you know I just I like that companies like HTC are still kicking out these smaller phones because not everybody wants a giant you know 4-inch phone and I'd have a full-on smartphone with a smaller form factor here is pretty cool I think so quickly we'll load up post about it's not right for me to load up a post about a rival phone and a rival network dragon unboxing that's not cool you've got a pre-installed two gigabyte microSD card of course you've got GPS Bluetooth it's a 1230 milliamp hour battery Wi-Fi 802 BG 802 11 B G and N on the display 3-2 320 by 480 so QVGA display 320 by 480 206 mm colors again 3.2 inches the phone weighs 3 points 7 ounces and it feels pretty good in the hand it's pretty responsive the screen is a little a little grippy there oh nice trying to slide off but not not too bad let's go real quick and check out that camera see if we can find out what the resolution is on there's no front facing camera I will see if we can find out what the resolution is for video purposes whoops that's good take me in the gallery it's not Rowan ago 640 by 480 so will not shoot HD all right so there you go
