I have been using this wildfire for a month now, this is my review against desire (my bf, we bought it the same time)
1) It lags, it really lags. Whenever i open any application, press any button, specially call and sms, it will lag for 2 seconds before opening the main screen and then another 1 seconds before doing the actions i want to so (i set a shortcut in the beginning, the shortcut is to call a certain person or sms a certain person)
2) The screen resolution is a big turn down, seriously. I used to use C905 and come on, this is a real real let down. My wallpaper looks like some pixed picture and i have done all i could to make it took nice.
3) Up till now, there is very little application that wildfire supports. However, it can play quite a number of game and stock version can play 3gp, wmx and avi files.
4) The battery life is just ok-ok. Normal call n sms usage with video player can last up to a 18 hours. Once i left my music player on for the whole night, it still didnt die. On this hand, desire loses since its battery runs out very fast.
5) I am not sure if this internal memory is smaller, so it is hard for me to keep many application on it. Is very much waiting for froyo.
6) It force close if you run a certain application too long.
all and all, this is my first android phone and also my first touch screen phone. I used to use normal phones, so the reaction of those phone are way faster than this. However i am pleased with the versatility of this phone in compared to winmo and iphone.
So, if you are a guy, please, use desire, since you guys are way more hardcore user. I seriously still think this is a ladies phone.
Wildfire was never meant to take on the big boys like Desire or Galaxy S. It is an ENTRY level android phone.
What this review basically compared a perodua viva with BMW 5 series. Of course la big difference!
