Our next-generation Caller ID

When someone calls you, your Caller ID doesn’t just tell you their name and number any more – it tells you useful stuff like their Facebook status and birthday date, too.

The phone that minds its manners

We’ve added our new polite ringer to the HTC Wildfire. Now, as soon as you lift it up to see who is calling, the ringer volume drops. And if you turn it over, it stops ringing altogether and quietly takes a message

It is very compact for an HTC handset. It measures 106.8x 60.4x 12 mm and weighs in at an impressively light weight 118 g. In comparison to other phones from the manufacturer, the appearance of the Wildfire could be described as chunky, with aesthetic appeal coming from its simple lines and the availability of a number of colour variants including black, brown, white and red.
