HTC Wildfire Coming To Europe and Asia, Brings Android 2.1 For Less

HTC is unleashing yet another HTC Sense Android device on the world! This one is of little consequence to Americans, as it will only be available in Asian and European markets, and won’t have the necessary radio bands for 3G in NA, but it’s still significant. The Wildfire is a small, low-cost device with decent specs, and will hopefully bring Android to the mainstream in its host countries like it has in North America.
The phone comes with the same aging processor as the HTC Hero and Magic, but we know that it is capable enough to run Android 2.1 quite well (and has for months, ahem). A nice new feature debuting on this device is what’s called HTC Caller ID, which shows your caller’s Facebook information, profile picture, birthday, and any other relevant social networking info. Pretty neat!
