HTC today announced its latest smartphone, the HTC Wildfire. Sharing many similarities with the HTC Desire, it is more of a mid-market device aimed at younger users:

It brings all your communications into one place, whether it’s through Facebook, Twitter, text messages, images or email, ensuring that you are never far away from the conversation and always close to your friends.”
