htc Desire &/or Wildfire

Recommended Posts

Anybody got these? Likes/dislikes?

I see the Desire has the 1ghz snapdragon processor, but not finding what the Wildfire is equipped with so far

Other than possibly different processors... Any differences other than physical size? They appear very similar... Same Droid version & camera specs, microSD capacity, etc, but there's a large price discrepancy?

Also... Is Android 2.1 the highest/newest version out?

Anybody had a Blackberry Curve before switching to Droid? How easy was it to move over all your contact info?

2.2 is the latest but there is another version that everybody is speculating the release date of

Are you able to update/upload the latest & greatest online, like you can with a blackberry?

So if you get one of these htc's w/ 2.1... Can you update to the 2.2 or newer??

Just found this review of the Wildfire, so I'm assuming it's got a smaller processor, though I'm still looking for exact specs, as it's not even listed on the Alltel site

The good: The HTC Wildfire features a compact and sturdy design. The Android 2.1 smartphone has a very affordable price tag and offers a 5-megapixel camera and full wireless options.

The bad: The Wildfire has a small, lower-resolution screen. The smartphone can be a bit sluggish.

The bottom line: For Alltel customers on a budget, the HTC Wildfire is a very affordable and decently featured Android phone, but it comes at the cost of screen quality and processor speed.

Install Google Sync on the Berry (go to http://m.google.com/sync), sync your phone contacts to your GMail contacts. Once the Driod's up and running, it will automagically put your GMail contacts on your Droid.

Google Sync will also sync your BB's calendar.

(if you don't have GMail, go get yerself an account)

Plenty of 'chat' apps, Google Talk, Yahoo, AIM, et al.

None (I think) will have the 'opened' and 'read' features that BBM has.

Anything in particular that you need/want it to do, aside from straight-up chat?
