HTC Wildefire OR Sony X10 Mini?

elrasho · 18 Jun 2010 at 16:51

I'm in need of a new phone which needs to have GPS, Wifi and must be a smartphone running Android. The HTC Wildfire doesn't come out until mid July, so shall I wait for that or get an X10 mini now?

Ive had my current HTC Touch Pro for over a year, build quality is great but that battery life is a joke, sometimes need to recharge it half way through the day! Its running WM6.5 though

HTC Wildefire vs Sony X10 Mini specs

From the specs and looks i'd choose the wildfire due to ot bigger screen, better battery life and Android 2.1.

Cool link thanks, Im tempted to go all out and get HTC Desire lol Its an extra £180 though

PS: fancy a game of SSF4 on 360? gamertag: elrasho

I would go for the Desire due to the snap dragon processor. Android gets a bit cpu + memory hungry so the more of both the better your experience will be. (I have a HTC magic and although its OK, it can be a little bit slow).

Thing is the Desire is too big for me, thats why Im not going for an iPhone.

The Specs of the X10 Mini look crap compared to the HTC wildfire

There's not much in it. (all dimensions in mm)

Desire - 119 x 60 x 11.9
Wildfire - 106.75 x 60 x 12.19
iPhone 4 - 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3
iPhone 3GS - 115 x 62.1 x 12.3

It all depends on what you consider that makes the phone feel big - with me it's the width of the phone.
