    The HTC Wildfire S is a small, classy smartphone that's great for basic social networking, texting and calls. Read more

    • Solid, sturdy design, HTC Sense user interface, Responsive touchscreen
    • Navigation buttons easy to press accidentally, Sluggish performance beyond basic tasks

    The smartphone brought the Android platform to the prepaid market, and its successor opts for an evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade. The HTC Wildfire S has the same-sized 3.2in, capacitive touchscreen and 5-megapixel camera as the original model, but it comes equipped with a higher display resolution, a slightly faster processor, and is wrapped in a smaller and lighter frame.

    I must say, this phone goes in the cool category for me. Its a shame that the battery life of the original didn't come across to the S, but that is because the screen is far better on this one. I must warn people though, if you have even slightly fat thumbs, this phone will kill your inner child. Becomes even more frustrating on landscape mode because you push the touch buttons all the time. Read more
