The HTC Wildfire S is a delightful and affordable smartphone that crams a hefty range of features into a compact package dressed in a tough, great-looking unibody design. A 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, up to 32GB of storage, easy social network i...
It’s easy to judge budget smartphones as inferior to more costly handsets, but in the HTC Wildfire S we have a smartphone that offers features similar to pricier models. We love the unibody design that combines form and function. A 512MB internal memory can easily be upped to 32GB using a microSD card, offering plenty of room for music, photos and video. The HTC Wildfire S’ 3.2-inch screen offers...
The dinky size isn’t for everyone. One downside to the smooth unibody is getting used to holding the thing without accidentally dropping it. You also cannot play Flash video. And even when playing non-Flash video, the HTC Wildfire S tends to struggle. Web browsing could also feel a little quicker, so overall media performance feels limited.
The HTC Wildfire S may not be up there with the pricier handsets, but as a budget handset, the HTC Wildfire offers a handsome alternative with all the features you need to stay in touch, browse the web and listen to the odd tune. HTC Wildfire S review...

So far this year HTC have announced 6 new products and here we are looking at the first, the HTC Desire S.Many have said that HTC's latest Android handsets are simply a refresh of last years models and while the HTC Desire S may not be a revolution the...
I was a big fan of the HTC Desire when it launched last year and there is no denying its popularity, so much so that there was a time last year where HTC really couldn't keep up with the demand. Yes the HTC Desire S does build upon that success but the...

Arguably, the HTC Desire and Google Nexus One were the two best Android handsets of last year. HTC made both of them- one for themselves and one for Google. These handsets became so popular that HTC decided to turn the Desire into a family by launching...

The HTC Desire S, like the Incredible S before it, feels like a bit of a rush job – it’s using HTC’s cookie cutter Android smartphone specs in a slightly different shell, and the company’s clearly got something massive up its sleeve for next week...

There’s a lot to love about the HTC Desire S: it’s beautiful inside and out, with a solid software experience. We must admit however that we’re not sure who it’s for: original Desire owners will prefer the raw power, potential and screen size of HTC’s...

The Desire S is a worthwhile improvement to the original, with the latest Android offering video calling, faster working and better keyboards. That may not be quite enough to justify an upgrade if you’re already using Desire père, but if you’re thinki...

We’ll be up-front about this from the start. The HTC Desire S has a lot of the same characteristics and specs as the original HTC Desire. We almost felt a little let-down when it first appeared in Barcelona, especially up-against dual-core 1GHz phones...
A part of me wanted a little bit more. The original HTC Desire still stands up very well compared to this Desire S. This phone is better than the original Desire because of the additional camera, newer Android OS and better HTC Sense interface. I liked th...

Rear camera not the best, tad pricey for the specifications on offer...
The Desire S builds on the strengths of its predecessor. The inclusion of Android 2.3 and the latest HTC Sense interface are the best features. However, a SIM-free price of £399 does seem a bit much, and it might be better to invest a little extra for...
