HTC Wildfire debuts as successor to the Tattoo, is entry-level, bound for EU
The HTC Wildfire as according to HTC is the successor to the extremely modest and entry-level HTC Tattoo. Personally speaking, it looks like damning mash-up of the HTC Desire, Nexus One, and HD2. Continuing on to the official release, it is coming to Europe and Asia in Q3 of this year in red, white, black, and the wonderful little color: brown. As for specs, this little guy has a 3.2-inch QVGA capacitive touchscreen, 5MP camera with auto focus and LED flash. Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, GPS/AGPS, WiFi b/g, a 3.5mm jack, ROM 512MB, RAM 384MB, and it runs a Qualcomm MSM7225 528 MHz processor. There’s also an microSD card slot with Android 2.1 and the new Sense UI. Hurray! If you’re really interested in this little guy, check out the hands-on video from SlashGear (and the pics at the link!), along with the press release below.
The Blackberry Tour2/9650/it’s actually called Bold 9650 is now available on Sprint CDMA 3G bands. Starting at the comfortable $199 on 2-year agreement, the Bold 9650 is not as hot and fast as the Bold 9700, but the 9650 does add an optical trackpad, which could be a major selling point.

It’s always great to be successful, especially when you know the product you’re selling is well favored, but when you can’t supply that product to the consumer due to too much demand, that’s when the smiles fade away. I am precisely talking about the Droid Incredible by HTC. Due to part shortages like the 3.7-inch WVGA multitouch screen which is built by Samsung, Droid Incredibles cannot be produced. According to Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam, they “had to pull way back” on store deliveries and instead focus on online sales. In fact, demand has been so tight that within 48 hours of the Incredible’s release, 100,000 handsets were sold. As of the time of this writing, the Verizon web site claims all orders will be fulfilled by June 3rd. Very demanding indeed.
