Pros
There aren't any. I would not recommend this phone. It's a piece of junk!
Cons
The cursor jumps all over when you type. Words disappear. The screen blurs at times. When online it freezes a lot not allowing you to type unless you turn it off and on. I've had 7 of the same models in 9 months.

Nice small and compact, fits nice in the pocket. Perfectly adaquate for reading emails and the news etc, navigates OK, finds sattilites quickly. No good for comlex games and the video is crap. all round a neat capable phone.

Best design, but it should be improve its feature to make it perfect.. It should hv physical camera shutter key, 800 mhz processor, front camera, 720p video recording and flash player.. Etc..

Pros
the basic apps supplied when purchased
Cons
Touch screen does it's own thing
• • •

I work for a living going up to tropical north Qld doing physical work. When the screen gets covered in sweat, it won't work. After 4 months, I must have had the only touch screen that didn't like being touched!!

Pros
Awesome design, compact
Cons
Low internal memory
• • •

I bought my Wildfire s & until now it has been the best phone I have had in the past 10 years. And I have tried A LOT of phones. Before this I had the HD Desire -too big & clumsy (if I wanted a computer I'd have bought one). The Wildfire s is a great design, slick, easy to use & easy to navigate with one hand.

EXCEPT - it runs out of internal memory so quickly! Only downfall. But a big one at that.
