Along with the HTC Desire and HTC Incredible, the entry-level Wildfire will see an upgrade in Q2 2011. The new Wildfire S will come in a variety of colors, including red, blue, black, and white. On front is a 3.2-inch HVGA touch screen.

Keyboard
One drawback to a smaller display is that typing on the virtual keyboard may be a bit tedious for some people.
