picked it up yesterday from bestbuy, so far its better than the optimus and mototrash triumph... taking off the battery cover is a bitch so be prepared if you cant figure out how..(press on the htc with thumb and pull back)...definatly a small phone too

anyone else?

How is it better than the Triumph? Adobe Flash is not available on the Wildfire, am I correct?

I have a beat up OV, and today I planned on grabbing a new phone.. Still undecided between the Wildfire S and the Triumph..

That's completely a matter of personal choice and opinion. Some don't care if they have the use of Flash. Some do.

I have Flash on my OpV, and for me it's totally useless. My desktop gaming rig has Flash, and that's all I care about.

Optimus V can have flash 10.2 installed and works good. 10.1 was horrible. I'm sure the Wildfire will also be able to play flash once it has been explored a bit, if its not already available for it. How does the wildfire feel in terms of strength and durability? The optimus is a pretty solid phone imo.

The internal memory available to the user is 106mb. Most apps don't have option to sd card. You will find this to be a huge issue. I installed a few apps moved what I could to sd and was down to 57mb. I returned the phone. The triumph is far better and has a gig available to user of internal memory plus sd card.

Are you talking about the OV? Because the HTC spec says it has 512MB internal storage. This is making me think I may hafta buy it. The OV is a great phone, but I can't help but think the HTC's memory will come in handy, and at $100 it's a no brainer.

bah, it was on a site with the specs. I just watched a review on youtube and the 106mb was confirmed. Does sense take up that much space? netflix sucked on it too. with that small amount of memory you'd have to root just to remove everything you can.


I think you are confusing RAM and ROM.. cell phones have both.

No, I know the difference between random access and read only. The tech spec list on that site was dead wrong. What I don't know is why Sense takes up so much space. With only 106mb available facebook and google apps will fill half of your space. This could be as bad as the intercept but with gingerbread.
