The revamped version of one of the milestones for the Taiwanese giants in the entry level handsets category, the sequel to the HTC Wildfire, the Wildfire S turned out to be an evenly matched contender in the entry level droid segment. The S-sized guy sported a measly 600mhz processor alongside the adreno 200GPU on the Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset, while the 512mb of RAM came out to be one of the edges that this guy had over all the competition.
