dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 For wildfire its VERY HIGH pricing... Wildfire was supposed to be a sub 200$ (more like 100$) phone for the mass market... If they would have priced nearer to that target they could have sparked an android revolution.... and as usual, greed makes them miss the bus.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanveer 59 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 In terms of ram, this is better than hero. Other things I dont see any difference. If the Hero sells for 12000 in US, i think it is a good price for a comparable phone in india Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

@mitJ@in 256 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 @ Arun - CDMA EVDO? This is GSM HTC Wildfire, I think. Please confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted August 2, 2010 Yup, with EVDO (3G)! From the 1st post, * Network: HSPA/UMTS dual band (900/2100mhz); GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 (Band frequency, 3G network availability, and data speed are operator dependent.) So it is surely GSM and not CDMA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
