HTC Wildfire gets video unboxing

Chris Davies, Jun 17th 2010 Discuss [0]

The Samsung Galaxy S isn’t the only Android 2.1 smartphone to arrive here today; we’ve just taken delivery of the HTC Wildfire, the company’s new entry-level smartphone and quite the mini-Desire and promptly shot an unboxing video and shared some hands-on first impressions over at Android Community. Packing a compact 3.2-inch QVGA capacitive touchscreen, 3G/UMTS, HTC Sense and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, the Wildfire walks the tightrope between budget and functionality, and it seems to do a whole lot better than the Tattoo it replaces.

Samsung Galaxy S gets video unboxing

Chris Davies, Jun 17th 2010 Discuss [11]

Happily that’s something we can test out now, since there’s a Samsung Galaxy S fresh to the test bench at Android Community today.

Chris Davies, Jun 4th 2010 Discuss [5]

Dell have just sent over their Streak Android MID, fresh to the O2 network today, and we’ve been getting to grips with it the 5-inch Snapdragon-based slate. The company are insistent that this is a tablet, not a smartphone, but of course it really sits somewhere in-between. Either way, it’s fast, slick, and – as you quickly figure in the first few minutes of picking it up – great for web browsing.

HTC Smart first-impressions

Chris Davies, May 11th 2010 Discuss [2]

The HTC Smart has just dropped onto the SlashGear desk, and while this budget BREW handset may not have the same wow-factor as one of the company’s more recent Android smartphones like the Desire or Legend, it’s interesting simply for representing a push from the company into the mainstream. Qualcomm’s BREW OS keeps things ticking, but on top of that is the HTC Sense UI complete with Friend Stream social network integration. Check out our first-impressions after the cut.
