The best HTC Wildfire cases
If you’re upgrading from an older Android phone such as the Hero or Tattoo, the Wildfire is an excellent choice. You get a few Wildfire Accessories in the box to start you off, but a case isn’t one of them, so if you want to keep your phone looking at it’s best, a case is a worthwhile investment. Here are the best top 5 Wildfire cases.
PDair Leather Case For HTC Wildfire
The PDair vertical case is a leather case with elasticated sides. This does have it’s benefits – the main one being that the case holds your phone a little more securely as it’s a neater fit. There’s no belt clip on the back, so this is perfect for those who prefer to carry their phone around in their pocket or bag.

HTC Wildfire Pouch – PO S530
This is a case from HTC that’s made specifically for the Wildfire. It’s a similar design to the Bugatti and has a built in pull strap. When your phone is in the case the strap tucks in and prevents your phone from falling out, but when you want to remove your phone, just give the strap a gentle tug and it will raise your phone from the case quickly and effortlessly. The case is made from a high quality leather and has a soft interior that helps keep the screen clean and prevent scratches.

Bugatti Slim Leather Case For HTC Wildfire
Bugatti slim cases are high quality leather cases that have a fabric strap to make removing your Wildfire quick and easy. They protect the screen of your phone and don’t add much extra bulk.

HTC Wildfire Pouch – PO S491
If you were lucky, you may have got a case in the box with your phone. If you didn’t, or you’ve lost it, this is the original HTC Wildfire leather pouch that’s included as standard. It’s a simple slip pouch that protects your Wildfire against minor knocks and bumps and still provides access to the 3.5mm headphone socket.
Silicone Case For HTC Wildfire
Last on my list for now then is a silicone case. These are available in black or white and are a simple, cost effective way to look after your phone. They cover the back, sides and corners of your Wildfire and leave your screen fully accessible. As your screen isn’t covered, I’d recommend using a HTC Wildfire screen protector with them, just to be on the safe side.

That’s it for now, there are other cases available, but these are the best Wildfire cases available at the moment.

HTC Vision spotted with T-Mobile branding
The long-rumored HTC Vision with its sliding QWERTY, WVGA touchscreen, and high-end features, was recently spotted in a photo. The device, which like T-Mobile’s first ever Android release and also made by HTC, the G1, is an homage to the sliding QWERTY form factor and as such may be called the G1 Blaze by the carrier.

Senior Product Manager for Windows Phone over at Microsoft walks us through a super complex demonstration of Windows Phone 7 and its features on his Samsung Taylor. The video is split into four parts so make sure you sit back and relax, it is over 25 minutes in length with lots of new features demoed.
You will have a high degree of customizations you will be able to do with the restriction that one will not be able to skin the whole interface but can create own hubs. Greg Sullivan said “you can’t break out promise to customers about what it means to be Windows Phone but you can add a whole bunch of stuff” and OEMs will be able to build upon these restrictions and limitations, while looking at them in a positive way.

For those of you that have been using mobile devices for quite some time, this should be a treat! Graffiti, the text-input method for Palm OS devices, is now available for Android! Graffiti was improved and today the symbols closely mimic “real” letters. Combine that with the power of modern processors and slap it into the Android OS and you’ve got not only a cool retro-throwback, but a very fast, and very functional way to input text — and it’s now finger-friendly!
Graffiti is available for free download in the Android marketplace.

Windows Phone 7 device for all Microsoft employees
Brandon Watson, the man in charge of the Developer Experience team for Windows Phone 7, has just made a blog post that provides further explanation as to why Microsoft is doing this:
In the last couple of days since Andy’s announcement that all employees would get free Windows Phone 7s, we’ve seen a lot of buzz about the offer, including some around why we were doing it.
So why did we do it? Put simply, we did it for the employees. If you speak to any software developer or hacker, they will tell you that they love writing code. They love solving problems. They love creating things. They love sharing their work with their friends and peers. They love the satisfaction of seeing something work on a screen. Unfortunately, when you work for a company, most of them generally have pretty stringent rules about moonlighting, and the ownership of IP. For software companies, this usually includes code and side projects. Microsoft is no different.
With this new mobile app era upon us, the Windows Phone team felt it important that we enable our own employees to participate. There are so many talented, technical people at Microsoft. It’s not just professional software developers…many Microsofties love coding, and they work on projects in their spare time.
We believe most Microsofties want to write apps for Windows Phone 7. Before last week, and the changes announced in our policies, they couldn’t. They would not have been able to profit from those projects. We made these changes specifically to address the desire of our own employees to express themselves in code in the app marketplace. A funny thing happens when you remove friction and barriers among a group of creative people. I can’t wait to see what they create.
The internal response has been overwhelming. I can’t count the number of languages in which we heard “thank you” while at our global sales summit last week.

The HTC Wildfire is a compact and budget friendly device. Much like Sony Ericsson’s X10 Mini, HTC is targeting everyone with this offering. Right away you’ll see that the Wildfire shares many design aspects with the Nexus One. With that being said, its 3.2” screen and a 528mhz processor, the Wildfire is sure to be a different experience.

Android VNC Server 0.2
This is the Android VNC Server 0.2 release, it’s a fork from letsgoustc with some improvements:
- GUI to start/stop server and set password
- Set password to access
- Input events are handled by uinput now (no more manually setting devices)
With Wifi it’s pretty straight forward, you just need to be connected to an access point. If you want to use USB you just need to forward port 5901 from phone to pc using:
adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901
And connect to localhost:5901 from your VNC client.

Another LG powered by Windows Phone 7, this time with hardware keyboard
The new device is manufactured by LG, it is a Windows Phone 7 and it features a slide-out four-row hardware keyboard with 41 buttons from which I personally love the dedicated directional buttons for up, down, left and right. To quote the author, “the buttons are curved so you can tell you’re typing on one key instead of more than one (unlike my Droid) and the F and J both have small nubs so I can feel when I am correctly on the home row”.

Some fresh news from the German ZDNet video presentation where guest Greg Sullivan – Senior Product Manager for Windows Phone takes on a short journey with his Samsung Taylor Windows Phone 7 device.
Some of the interesting bits that we didn’t quite see before include a demonstration of HTML e-mail (1:58) and we see that Outlook is capable of delivering the rich e-mail experience of HTML e-mail from any Exchange, POP or IMAP source. As far as calendars are concerned, Windows Phone 7 will handle multiple Calendars (2:19) with Exchange, GMail, Windows Live and it will distinguish between them by using different (customizable we add) colors so the user will know, at a glance, where that certain appointment is coming from.
