LetsBuy, Flipkart, and Indiaplaza, have brought the HTC Wildfire S to India ahead of an official launch, announcing its pre-order availability today. Priced at Rs. 13,999 on Letsbuy.com, the Wildfire S replaces the original Wildfire as HTC‘s most inexpensive Android phone, and comes pre-loaded with Android 2.3 Gingerbread onboard. LetsBuy says it can deliver the phone within 4-7 days of booking.
The HTC Wildfire S is a low-end 3G-enabled device (HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 384Kbps) with some pretty decent specs, certainly better than the original Wildfire, with a 3.2-inch Gorilla Glass covered touchscreen with a 320×480 resolution, a 600MHz processor, a 5MP camera with LED flash, 512MB of RAM and ROM, Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP and EDR, as well as Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and hotspot connectivity.
