At first i was really please with the HTC Wildfire S, however 3 weeks in i am not.
Firstly, the radio, which i like to listen to most mornings, is rubbish quality and only works in non-built up areas and as I'm usually in a city this is a major disappointment.
Secondly, even though the phone usually turns on really quickly, i have have several experiences now where it freezes on the 'turning on' screen or will not turn on at all and when i finally get it on all the settings are reset!
Next, just today the messaging isn't working properly. I like (or liked) the conversation type format, however now the phone has decided that it is going to show my inward messages (from someone else to me), however not my outward ones, making the conversation format fairly useless! I can't see what messages i have sent which is sometimes really confusing...
The apps sometimes close unexpectedly and there are always fault messages.
The charge is pretty bad too, doesn't last a full day when several simple apps are used, but this isn't a major issue as you have to expect this kind of battery quality from any SmartPhone.
I would not recommend this phone to anyone and will be taking it back. Hope this helps you make your decisions :)

Great Android Starter Phone

This is my first Andriod-powered phone and so far I'm impressed with it. I was originally planning to get the LG Optimus Net until I realized that the HTC has a much better camera and display so I believe I made the right choice.
There is about two things I wish this phone had. First would be the standard "better battery life", and second, a bigger internal memory. I know you can use the external memory to store apps but some apps require the internal memory, and with 150MB, it's not very much room.
In the end, I would still recommend this phone.

I'm happy with this Android

This phone is easy to use and navigate around. It is a great size and has a good touchscreen.
I like the look and feel of this phone. If I'm on my phone a lot during the day the battery tends to run out quite quickly but that applies for most phones.
As this phone replaced its previous model, the Wildfire, I wish it had come with a better camera than the 5.0 MP.
My girlfriend has the original Wildfire and this new phone doesn't offer enough new features to entice her to upgrade.
Overall, I think this is an affordable, great phone and would recommend it to my friends.
