The price was still puts Wildfire in over a number of other beginner-level Android phones that play in the price range of Rp 1.8 million. This price gap does not necessarily make the HTC worry.

“We have a class of its own,” said Agus Sugiarto, Indonesia Country Manager of HTC, at the launch of Wildfire, 14 July. Almost two weeks we were “playing around” with a phone that looks very similar to that Desire. The biggest difference is about the size of both quality and sharpness of the screen.

Wildfire uses 3.2-inch screen size with dimensions of 106.75 x 60.4 x 12.18 millimeters. When noted, Wildfire almost the same width and thickness with Desire, but shorter. Problem size is actually more has its own benefits. Wildfire taste better grasped and kept in a pocket. Display screen is not as clear Desire. This is what instantly felt when you first turn it on. QVGA resolution is 240 x 320 pixels.

HTC minimize the use of physical buttons. Home button, Menu, Back, and Google Search to use touch buttons, rather than physical buttons, such as in Desire. However, the optical navigation button trackpad is maintained.

Matter of convenience of use, together with Desire Wildfire. Wearing a touch screen interface Sense HTC Android as much fun as other models from HTC. However, with a slightly smaller screen than Desire, our comfort while typing with the virtual QWERTY keyboard slightly reduced.

HTC’s instilled 5 Mp camera with flash that can function as a flashlight when we download the application from the Android Market. Again, not HTC’s very unfortunate provide sufficient internal memory to store multimedia files. To take pictures, we must inculcate an external memory card with a maximum capacity of 32 gigabytes.

Battery endurance quite well. With frequent use, he could still survive for two days. Meanwhile, in a standby condition, it can last up to 480 hours. At first we thought that to cut the price of HTC’s 3G network should dispose of it. Apparently not. Besides having the 2G GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1.800/1.900 MHz, it has a network HSDPA / WCDMA 900/2100 MHz with download speeds up to 7.2 megabyte per second.

Some features available in it is FriendStream to access various social networks within one interface, the G-Sensor, digital compass, proximity sensors, and light sensor. Most features can you find at other Android phone from HTC. But one thing is relatively new is the element of “decency” in it.

So when a call comes in and you lift the phone from his position is placed, then the ringtone volume is automatically reduced. If you do not want to answer the call, simply put the phone back in the inverted position, the ringing tone will be dead and the call will go to the ballot box.

Google said: “After we sell this device, the Nexus One no longer be available online from Google. Support customers will still be available for customers Nexus One.”And Nexus One will continue to be sold by partners including Vodafone in Europe, KT in Korea, and other possibilities based on local market conditions.”

Google will also make the phone available for developers who want to use it to create applications for Android application store. Launched with great fanfare in January, Nexus One widely branded as ‘iPhone killers’ – a device that can shift the popular Apple gadget.

But the disappointing sales of only about 500 thousand and a strategy that directly compete with rivals Google’s Android change the plan clearly visible to the device.

Google’s focus on developing their own smart phones as they become increasingly important to access the Internet. Google introduced the open-source Android operating system nearly two years ago. Until Nexus One, the company has content to let other companies like Samsung and Motorola design tools rely on Android.

Several years ago, the phones splayed out in front of me tended to be a mishmash of shapes and sizes: flip phones, clamshells, candybars and sliders. But then these phones started to be replaced by something else, a slick phone with a glossy screen, curved black or white back and the precise incision of an Apple logo: iPhones.
Recently, the mobile buffet has been changing again. This time, some iPhones are being replaced by a family of cellphones running Google’s Android operating system.
You don’t need to look at a table full of phones to see the shift taking place. The numbers clearly show that Android is catching on. HTC, maker of the Google Nexus One phone, has seen its profits rise by 58 percent in the second quarter because of the sale of its Android smartphones. And new studies continue to surface showing the rise of Android use on the mobile Web.
Some of this shift might be only temporary. Some phone owners admit that they are just trying Android phones to get a feel for their options, almost as if they are trying to date other people before deciding whether it’s time to break up. But others I’ve asked said they have cut their ties with the iPhone and are locked into a different two-year relationship.
Brady Forrest, conference organizer for O’Reilly Media, said the iPad had enabled him to switch from the iPhone to Android devices without missing out on Apple’s world. “I’ve been increasingly on the fence seeing the new Android applications and the ability to tether my phone,” said Mr. Forrest, “but the iPad really allowed me to make the switch. Now I have my toe in the iPhone ecosystem, but I’m not constrained by the limitations of the phone.”
For others, the AT&T network and Apple’s restrictions on iPhone software have played a role in their decision.
Kuai Hinojosa, Web applications specialist at New York University, said in a phone interview that he still loves his iPhone, but can’t rely on it for business purposes. To solve the problem, Mr. Hinojosa is forced to carry two phones.
“I like the iPhone as a device. As a smartphone it is way ahead of other phones with design, in usability,” he said. “Now I have a Motorola Droid, too, which I use for work because it’s on Verizon and is much more reliable.”
Lee Gonzales, who works with Integware, a medical consulting company, told me that his ultimate decision to jump to Android was Google’s open approach to the applications it allows on the platform. “I’m an Apple fanboy, to a degree, but I can’t support what they are doing with the walled garden surrounding the App store,” he said.
Mr. Gonzales said he appreciates what Apple has done for the smartphone market, but can’t get past the limitations of the applications. “I’m really tempted to get the iPhone, I adore their user interface and industrial design, but each upgrade of Android really keeps me tied to the Android operating system,” he said.
Although the iPhone 4 sold better than any previous iPhone models, the customer confusion surrounding its antenna issues could add another reason to jump into the Android waters.
But any number of variables could change the dynamic of this race. Either platform could become susceptible to a virus that would make customers take pause. Or Apple could add another carrier, offering the iPhone on the Verizon network, which would likely bring many customers back.
But one thing’s for sure: many haven’t made a final decision. Phone contracts usually last just two years, and if a better alternative comes along from either Apple or Android, it’s easy to jump back to the other side of the pond.
If you have switched between Apple and Android, or are actively thinking about it, please share your thoughts in the comments.
