I heard it's due to the unibody aluminium enclosure. I have a friend who has a Legend, WiFi and even call signal is very weak... I use WiFi a lot all around the house so it's going to affect me a lot...

Seeming as the Wildfire has been out for 1-2 months, is it still a VERY big problem? I'd appreciate the RM400 savings, I'm not that rich you see ):

definitely not worth the 400 bucks savings la
the low res screen is really a turn off dude
if you can find Legend then just grab it.

Wifi at home will not be much a problem since you are quite near to the router
custom rom will do amazing stuff to radio and such

it's not a "problem"
it's just that wildfire is for android new users....means amateur
once u get a hang of it...you'll want more...thn at that time you'll want legend
so if you're in budget...why not just directly get a legend

Have you considered other brands?
Maybe you can look at galaxy 3 from samsung.
Priced slightly lower than wildfire, but with specs that are more in line with legend.

I like the way you think, exactly what I think too. Considering even a Desire now cry.gif budget gone, haha.

I don't mind if the Legend is really better than the Wildfire, but 600MHz is a tiny step up and the poor WiFi and signal quality is horrible.

Problem is my original budget is 1.1k, but now I'm considering the Legend, 400 bucks up, and now Desire, another 350 up? I can afford it, yes, but I need the extra money to upgrade my camera too.

Certainly not considering Samsung, as I like HTC Sense and have had horrible experiences with Samsung's products over the past few years. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Look bro, android is something that you want more and more as you experience it..and on wildfire, you will be cursing over this rm400 that you saved..trust me, a friend of mine had the same regret when bought a htc tattoo instead of htc hero back several months ago..today he's saving again to get a desire..even selling the tattoo is difficult..these are the challenges if you buy cheaper phones..

My suggestion? If only those two are your options, go for the legend..if you take my personal advice, save a little more and go for the desire..you will thank me one day if you do so..haha

My current phone just died on me, and needing a replacement, a one that would last me for a while, preferably years to come.

Torn between the Legend and Wildfire, needing some serious help and advice here.

Pros of the Legend:
Unibody aluminium
AMOLED screen
600MHz processor

Cons of the Legend:
Poor WiFi signal

Pros of the Wildfire:
Cheaper by 400 bucks
Looks better

Cons of the Wildfire:
Can't use some apps in Android Market due to the new resolution
Less future-proof than the Legend

Are there anything else that needs to be brought into consideration? I am needing a phone urgently, so your kind help is MUCH appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

If you have more budget, you can go for legend, if you want to save RM400 for other things, go for wildfire.

Now I'm even considering of getting both the Wildfire and the Desire. 1 for the mods I could do with it, 1 for the sheer cuteness. LOL doh.gif

Will consider (: this offer sounds too good to let down.

between legend and wildfire, go for legend since the wildfire is only an entry level device.. getting the legend is sorta a must if u can afford it... when u have extra budgets, do consider going for desire since its not such a big difference.. the desire surely wont be a let down smile.gif

To be honest, I'm in love with the white Wildfire. It's one of those sexy beasts that can trump my backup white iPhone 3Gs. Desire is a bit too big for my liking.

What do you think? whistling.gif

EDIT: If Desire had a white, I'd definitely go for that LOL.

Well, if you're not a high-end user, then wildfire isr really fine..but you may need more juice over some apps soon smile.gif I suggest you to take a day out, go to a mobileshop, play with wildfire first, then play with legend and finally desire..you will understand where I am coming from smile.gif shop keepers will not mind letting u test the phones..
