HTC Wildfire S gets Android 2.3.5 update along with Sense 2.1

Posted on Dec 19, 2011 by MG1

Well what do you know – HTC released the Android 2.3.5 update for its low-end Wildfire S smartphone. Along with the latest version of Gingerbread, there’s also the new Sense software (version 2.1), which mimics some of the aspects of the Sense UI on the HTC Sensation. However, you shouldn’t expect all of the features since there’s not enough horse power under the Wildfire S’ hood. There is the new interactive lock screen as well as few other graphic changes and that’s about it.
The update is said to be rolling out across Europe as we speak and if you still haven’t got it, you can manually check – hit “Settings,” “About phone” and the “Software updates.” From here you’ll be able to see whethe...

T-Mobile gives Wildfire S, free SMS to keep iPhone defectors

T-Mobile gives Wildfire S, free SMS to keep iPhone defectors

Posted on Oct 18, 2011 by MG1

T-Mobile has been giving staff a flurry of options to try and keep customers from jumping ship for the iPhone 4S. New staff memos have shown the carrier giving out 500,000 text messages to existing T-Mobile subscribers who have unlocked iPhones. This would be to address those between October 18 and 20 who have a "high likelihood to churn" because they want a new iPhone, TmoNews saw.
Another offer is pitched more at those who would leave for the iPhone 3GS. T-Mobile would specifically try to pitch the "value of the open Android market place" by reminding them they can now get the HTC Wildfire S for free on a hardware upgrade and with a rebate. The choice is unusual given its status as an entr...

Virgin Mobile to offer LG Optimus Slider and HTC Wildfire S

Virgin Mobile to offer LG Optimus Slider and HTC Wildfire S

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Virgin Mobile is introducing two new Android phones to its portfolio and we’re not sure if customers should start getting excited or not. The LG Optimus Slider and the HTC Wildfire S both sit snugly in the mid-range spectrum but also both sit in your standard pricing of a high-end smartphone for any other carrier around.

HTC Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer all coming to U.S. Cellular

HTC Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer all coming to U.S. Cellular

Posted on Sep 29, 2011 by MG1

U.S. Cellular has announced a trio of HTC devices to be launched next month. The Hero S, Wildfire S, and Flyer tablet will be sold for $199.99, $79.99, and $199.99 on contract after rebates, respectively.
The Hero S runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, has a 4-inch 960 x 540 touchscreen, a 5 megapixel camera on the back, and 1.3 megapixel shooter on the front for video calling. The Wildfire S is a little more modest, clocking in with a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 5 megapixel camera, and 600 MHz processor, but at least it’s cheap. We’ve got a review over here if you want a closer look. Finally, the Flyer tablet measure 7 inches, but still doesn’t run Android Honeycomb, though there are unofficial ROMs av...

HTC Wildfire S swaggers CDMA bands at FCC

HTC Wildfire S swaggers CDMA bands at FCC

Posted on Jul 28, 2011 by MG1

True to its namesake, the Wildfire S is preparing to blaze across our native prairies without abandon. After gaining the FCC's nod of acceptance for use on our 1900 / 850MHz HSPA bands -- followed by T-Mobile's official announcement -- the fun-sized candybar has received FCC approval for igniting our CDMA networks. A leaked roadmap suggests the Gingerbread treat is destined for US Cellular in October, but don't be surprised if the little guy appears at Cricket, MetroPCS, Virgin Mobile, and the like. Even Verizon could benefit from the Wildfire S, seeing that the Motorola Citrus is downright sour. Just promise not to name it the Droid Burn, okay?

HTC Wildfire S heads to T-Mobile, won't break your budget

HTC Wildfire S heads to T-Mobile, won't break your budget

Posted on Jul 21, 2011 by MG1

Were you disappointed to see the HTC Wildfire S pass through the FCC sporting AT&T-friendly bands, but no apparent magenta love? Well, chin up ol' chum, because a leaked spec sheet over on TmoNews shows T-Mobile's branding all over the budget-friendly phone. The 3.2-inch Android handset will ship with Gingerbread out of the box and, of course, that Sense 2.1 overlay you either love, or love to hate. There's also a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and 512MB of on-board memory. And pay no attention to the apparent PR slip-up above, while there is a UMTS 850 / 1900 variant, we have the FCC filing to prove this little guy's packing AWS 1700 / 2100 bands. Expect to see Tmo's ga...
