HTC Shows Off New Android Smartphone


HTC has shown off its latest smartphone - the Wildfire, a new Sense-based Android phone that integrates the most popular social networks. In addition, each contact viewed in HTC Wildfire's address book includes a thread of recent communications with that person, including when users last spoke, recent text messages and emails, and social network updates. When a friend calls, HTC Caller ID displays their Facebook profile photo and latest update, as well as a reminder if their birthday is fast approaching.

Florian Seiche, Vice President, HTC EMEA said, "We understand that people need a better way to navigate their way through the tens of thousands of applications that are currently available on the Android Market. In fact, our own independent research found that consumers are not only hungry for the latest and most popular applications that their friends are using, they want an easier way to find and download them. For the first time ever, you can recommend the newest and coolest apps to a friend or group of friends with HTC Wildfire. With so many applications to choose from, there's a world of content to discover and pass along to your friends."

The phone comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen and 5-megapixel camera.

The new HTC Wildfire will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets from Q3 2010. Pricing still to be announced.
