The level of technology being used in todays’ market has made it possible for the production of highly advanced products such as the HTC wildfire smartphone. A smartphone is best explained as a highly advanced mobile phone which has multi-function capabilities which allow it to be used as a PDA (personal digital assistant) as well as a mobile phone. The latest model of HTC wildfire smartphone also functions as a handy media player which has various unique features. Some of these features or specifications include:

The word Smartphone is mainly used to portray phones that have highly superior computing abilities as well as connectivity than any other ordinary phone. However, the differences may sometimes not be that clear and defined to a point where there is no certified explanation which clearly brings out the difference between these different phones. As time goes by, the phones that were once considered as features phones now have even more capabilities that that of phones that were being referred to as smartphones.
As previously stated smartphones are deemed more superior to features in the area of internet access since run through various mobile operating systems which include:
- Google Android
- Ios.Microsoft windows phone by Apple
- Nokia’s Symbian
- RIM’s BlackBerry operating system
- Rooted Linux which include Maemo and MeeGo.
It is now possible to actually have these systems installed into different model phone types. All these different devices can also obtain several operating system updates throughout the lifetime of the device. Smartphones effectively run secondary applications by using superior APIs which stands for application programming interfaces. The APIs improve the assimilation of these applications to the phone’s operating system unlike with feature phones. The major difference between the HTC smartphones and features phones is the fact that the latter operates on proprietary firmware and secondary support of operational software via platforms such as Java ME or BREW.
