HTC have today announced a budget Android phone – the Wildfire. The name certainly sounds exciting and looking at the specs it looks set to be a very popular smartphone device. Similar to the super cool Desire, the Wildfire runs on the Android 2.1 operating system and boasts the Sense user interface under the easy to use capacitive touchscreen.

Being the Desires little sister means the spec sheet isn’t as high tech but it does boast a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, a number of social networking applications and an optical trackpad for easy navigation around the phone. The Wildfire comes with 3G HSDPA support and Wi-Fi to browse the web from the 3.2 inch screen and also features a GPS receiver, Bluetooth, microSD card slot and 3.5mm audio jack.

HTC have had to make cuts somewhere to produce a budget phone which has unfortunately fallen on the QVGA display making Android a little bit less special (but what can you expect if you want a cheap Android device?).

The Wildfire will be available in four colours giving it more appeal for a younger market and should be available in Q3 this year. For all the best HTC phones, compare deals at Mobiles Please now.

Today Vodafone announced that their customers can get the Google Nexus One from the 30^th April from at £35 a month. Google fans can pre-order the Nexus One over the next four days on the Vodafone website (not google.com/phone). We expect that in-store availability will be around the 5^th May.

Being such a hot phone, the Nexus One will keep customers in 18 or 24 month contracts with tariffs starting at £25 with a £99 charge for the phone. The £35 a month plan offers the Nexus One for free over a 2 year contract.

Last month, Goldman Sachs downgraded its estimate for Nexus One sales this year from 3.5m units to just 1m worldwide. This is probably due to the amount of competition on offer from manufacturers such as HTC and Apple.  The HTC Desire (the Nexus One’s big brother) offers the same spec as the Nexus One but is available on a number of networks pushing it into the limelight and making a lot of sales! Apple are also brewing up a storm with the iPhone 4.0/HD giving customers even more to think about when purchasing ‘the coolest phone on the market’.

This is exciting news for Google fans if they couldn’t get their hands on a Nexus One before, but it feels like Google have left it a bit too late to launch their device in the UK, as the mobile phone world moves quickly on to the latest ‘hot’ device, casting many decent phones into the shadows.

With all eyes on Barcelona for the 2010 Mobile World Congress; day one has given the mobile phone world a lot to talk about and there is set to be a lot more exciting news throughout the week.

The top story to hit the headlines has come from computer giant Microsoft with the announcement of their Windows Mobile 7 (WinMo 7) platform which emphasises social networking and supports the popular multitouch feature.

Chief Executive of Microsoft Steve Ballmer said: “In a crowded market, filled with phones that look the same and do the same things, I challenged the team to deliver a different kind of mobile experience.

“Windows Phone 7 marks a turning point toward phones that truly reflect the speed of people’s lives and their need to connect to other people and all kinds of seamless experiences.”

Features and content on WinMo 7 is organised into ‘hubs’ so users can access either online or offline apps with ease within each category. Categories include

• People (social networking)
• Pictures (including both your online and saved albums)
• Games (including full access to your Xbox live profile and rankings)
• Music+Video
• Marketplace (a revamped version of Microsoft’s app store)
• Office (documents, agendas, calendars etc)

Unfortunately the new platform doesn’t allow for customization and Adobe have confirmed that there will be no Flash support. Other than that the Windows Phone 7 is a great leap in the right direction and we can’t wait to see a collaboration with HTC very soon!

The highly anticipated HD2 from HTC is the world’s first Windows Mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen. Not only that, it is a whopping 4.3 inch in size with HTC Sense user interface for an enhanced user experience. With a high-resolution screen and built in accelerometer, viewing photos, videos and web pages is a dream and with an impressive 1GHz Snapdragon processor the super fast device can cope with a number of apps at once without a hitch.

Want an iphone without the cost? Well it’s the HTC touch diamond that’s for you then.

It’s ” Vibrant Touchflow 3D” technology means it works just like the iphone and with a gorgeous sleek black design it can rival the iphone for style. The latest phone uses an Opera 9 browser which is ready to take over the mobile internet market. In a 3G or wireless area it will allow you to surf your favourite websites as quickly as you can on broadband.

It has fun features includuing the unique Weather feature so you can be the first to find cover when in a public place.

The 4GB of memory is smaller than some of the latest phones on the market but should be more than enough for music, pictures and homemade videos. Downloading films could start to hit the 4GB capacity but that is still very difficult to do in a cost effective way anyway at the moment.
