My Phone Dilemma

Heya Stevie, The first thing we've got to sort out here is the type of Operating System: - Android - Windows Phone 7 I would never recommend a Windows Phone 7(WP7) to anyone because although I haven't used it, having seen it in action, it certainly doesn't appeal to me as much as Android does. Once you're into the Smartphone game, you'll want Apps. The WP7 has mostly paid applications on offer, whereas Android has both, with a large number of great free apps on offer. Since it's a matter of personal opinion, I'll try and help you decide from my point of view and probably offer up a few more options. Of the 3 phones you have mentioned, only the HTC Wildfire and Desire run on Android. So now we have 2 choices: Wildfire and Desire. Before we proceed, if the Desire doesn't agree with your pocket, go for the Wildfire. The HTC Wildfire is nothing but a mini-Desire. So don't expect much from it, but if this is your first leap into the Smartphone arena, I'm pretty sure you're going to love it. If, somehow, you can manage to increase your budget, you could also look into the HTC Desire HD, which costs slightly higher than the HTC Desire. However, do note that the battery lives on all these phones drag through just a day before you have to plug them into charging. The HTC Desire HD (4.3" screen) would be ideal for typing on, but not as the Wildfire since it has a much smaller screen(3.2" or 3.5"). It also depends on the size of your hands and which phone fits your grip. If budget is a big constraint, go for the Wildfire, if it's a medium constraint - Desire, in case it's not a constraint when you do plan to buy - Desire HD. You can also look into the HTC Legend, it falls between the range of HTC Wildfire and HTC Desire, both price and functionality wise. Good luck!
