HTC Wildfire S - Virgin Mobile

Detailed review of the HTC Wildfire S from Virgin mobile. Color depends on the store you purchase from. Best Buy is silver and Radio shack is white. Specs, camera, video features, Netflix issues and current work around till they hopeful update and fix, and more.........

no it will not play flash apps or in page video... Wildfire S is a ARM11 CPU that supports the ARMv6 instruction set. It has Adobe Flash Lite 4.0 used for older or low end phones and does NOT support Adobe Flash player 11.

UPDATE 02/27/2012 the netflix link provided below now no longer works. It was able to block checking for newer version. Now it doesn't. As soon as I find a working 1.2.2 netflix will post.

UPDATE 01/09/2012 This netflix works on Slider and wildfire S and update check is disabled with this apk version 1.2.2 works best for these phones

[mstechify]

@alienmonkey69 NO! please read update info under video. the netflix modded apk that was kinda working on this phone now is not working. and the arket version doesn't work. out of sync. even with the slider. about to post info on the newest phone rumor stay tuned!

[CaillouDash]

I have a question, I have the HTC Wildfire S from Virgin Mobile an I still have the old "Green" Android Market. and my in other videos I see that The Triumph, Optimus V and Optimus Slider have the new blackish market, when will I get it??? PLEASE REPLY!!!!!

[mstechify]

@CaillouDash did you read version that is on your phone? and yes the wildfire S is that way.

[mstechify]

@meeeganreneaaa it is called unbiased which is what most people appreciate. not being told they should buy it and decide for them self based on features they need and want. this review if for those who truly want to know how it works and and not somebodies opinion. These are facts. and the facts state this phone is only good for somebody that only wants 3 apps installed at the most due to low low internal memory. read the personal comments left by people.

[mstechify]

@101carrie101 a larger card will on no way fix or expand the memory problem. read though other comments where I explained why.

[CaillouDash]

@mstechify I have android market version 2.3.6, will I get version 3.4.4? or am I stuck with 2.3.6?

[mstechify]

@moynv53 five phone comparison is all the boring little details in 2 parts. Since those things are best to review when they are actually compared to something else. It's in part 2 right after external speaker sound.

Can you post a video of the web browser in action, while only using virgin mobile's network with wi-fi turned off. I want to see how fast the internet connection is on virgin mobile while using this phone.
