MetroPCS Launches the Wildfire S, Its First HTC Smartphone

It was only a matter of time before MetroPCS got its hands on an HTC smartphone and today, the carrier announced that it is now carrying the HTC Wildfire S and will be offering it for $179.99 without a contract.

While the Wildfire S is nothing to write home about, it’s definitely a capable device and will suit all of your basic smartphone needs. It employs a 600MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, a 3.2-inch HVGA display, Android 2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense over the top, and a 5MP rear camera. All in all, a pretty good value at $180 without a contract.

Definitely a phone to look at for loved ones who are still using a flip phone or something worse.

The phone will be out both online and in retail stores later on this week.
