HTC Wildfire S
HTC know they can’t afford to stop right in the middle of what they’ve been doing with the Wildfire, the Aria and the Gratia. Going all the way back to the Tattoo, which first put Android on the radar for budget shoppers.
There’s plenty of choice already for those who like their droid in a small package. The HTC Wildfire S seems to be aware of that and does well to make itself seen. The lively paintjobs and friendly compact size are the right features to show to potential buyers. The Wildfire S has found a way to further reduce size while keeping the same 3.2” screen.
One thing we should keep in mind though. HTC seem to be in power-saving mode currently with all their recent releases but facelifts offering minor improvements over predecessors. That holds true for the Wildfire S too, though this is not to say that it shouldn’t be on your list if you’re looking for the next hot mini. HTC seem to have worked exactly on the things that most needed improvement. Display is key here, HVGA finally bringing it to acceptable levels. CIF video-capture was upped to VGA and the phone runs the latest Android Gingerbread.
These things should give it enough value as an upgrade. The Wildfire S is well-designed and well-built – a colorful little droid to offer good bang for buck. Let’s look at what else the S stands for.

Troubleshooting Techniques
If you are used to troubleshooting, you are most likely following
something similar in your head already. Once you begin to think in
terms of the various sub-systems, the chances of you not finding
your problem are very low. Over time, and with experience, you
would be doing this naturally and automatically. Of course on
paper it looks terribly boring and to tell you the truth, it is! But, it
is a good strategy to use a methodical approach in troubleshooting
rather than dive straight in, start poking around, pressing keys and
buttons blindly and then regretting it later.
After trying everything and you are at your wits end with no
solution in sight, it is time to take a step back and forget about
it for a while—attack the problem after some time with a fresh
mind.
