Everyone’s at it! The new “entry level” Android phone from the ALL-CONQUERING HTC has today been announced for the Three network, with the operator confirming it’ll be joining Virgin Mobile and T-Mobile UK in “ranging” the low-spec Android 2.1 phone this summer.
Here’s the Wildfire again. Get used to seeing it, as this thing is going to be EVERYWHERE this summer:
And here’s the full announcement from Three UK. It’s a bit light on stuff like prices and dates. Which, to be honest, is good news for us, as it means we can do another post about it next week when Three announces a date, then another post the week after when it reveals the price plans.
*sigh*
Coming soon to Three – HTC Wildfire
Three has confirmed it will be ranging the HTC Wildfire
This affordable Android handset is all about one click communication, starting with the integration of popular social networks, email, texts and images into one place. This is matched with an application sharing widget which allows you to recommend applications by email, text or via your social networks. With a single click your friends can find and download your suggested application from Android Market. Your contacts include threads of recent messages, emails and social networking updates. All this technology makes sure you stay up to date and connected to friends and family.
Sylvia Chind Head of Branded Devices said “It’s great to be adding the HTC Wildfire to our ever growing Android range. The HTC Wildfire brings together your communications platforms, making sure you never miss an update, message or tweet. When staying in touch on the move a strong 3G network like ours is necessary. Pairing this affordable Android phone with our network continues to give our customers great smartphone choices. We’ll be announcing dates and pricing shortly”
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
