When I first heard that I was hoping for a phone with a built-in Pico projector as that would be awesome but I quickly learned this was a much smaller, goofier device that is aimed for the mid-range crowd. It looks slightly like a re-badged Wildfire S and has similar specs to match.</div>

After looking a bit closer it does seem to have a striking resemblance to the fashionable and female oriented HTC Glamor recently revealed too so that is another thing to consider. I did mention the Wildfire S because the specifications of the Pico are almost the exact same. The HTC Pico should come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and a single-core 600MHz CPU CPU, and 384MB of RAM, rocking a 3.2″ HVGA 480</div>

Updated: T-Mobile starts HTC Wildfire Android 2.2 update

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/classifications/gadgets/phones/mobile-phones/HTC/HTC%20Wildfire/HTC%20Wildfire_3Vs_Format_BROWN20100512-200-200.jpg"> T-Mobile has confirmed to TechRadar that it has started rolling out the Android 2.2 update to its HTC Wildfire customers. UPDATE: It seems it won't be all users that will be getting an update instantly - some may have to wait weeks, according to this hot-off-the-press forum post from T-Mobile: "As you will have seen HTC have announced that Android 2.2 will begin rolling out for the HTC Wildfire this week. We are pleased to confirm that customers with T-Mobile branded handsets will be receiving this update at the same time. "As with all HTC updates this will be a phased release over the coming weeks and you will receive an alert on your handset when it is ready to update." HTC only announced the new update would be available yesterday, and almost instantly Vodafone announced it was available to its users. T-Mobile joining the party means it leaves Three as the only network in the UK that hasn't confirmed its Wildfire customers will be getting the Android 2.2 upgrade. Flash Lite: better than nothing The new update brings elements like Wi-Fi hotspots, improved performance and camera tweaks to the HTC Wildfire, but Live Wallpaper and Flash 10.1 are not included due to hardware limitations. However Flash Lite is being offered as a pseudo-substitute, so a fair few videos and animations should play to enhance websites. T-Mobile recently angered a number of its users with the promise of an Android 2.2 update for its Samsung Galaxy S, only to delay it over a week, so it's good news this upgrade is coming within 24 hours of the original announcement from HTC.

Vodafone whips out HTC Wildfire Android 2.2 update in record time

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/classifications/gadgets/phones/mobile-phones/HTC/HTC%20Wildfire/HTC%20Wildfire_3Vs_Format_BROWN20100512-200-200.jpg"> Vodafone has confirmed it is offering the <a href="">HTC Wildfire</A> Android 2.2 update to its customers minutes after HTC announced the update was ready. On its <a href="http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=14912&post=106357&uid=101063233083#post106357">Facebook site</A>, HTC said: "Android 2.2 (aka Froyo) on Wildfire is scheduled to begin rolling out this week in Europe, reaching all areas of the world by February. Thanks for your patience as these updates roll out; we think you'll enjoy the final product." February? That's far too long to wait... so it's lucky that Vodafone has managed to bypass the usual faffing about and testing that usually goes on, and is now offering HTC Wildfire Android 2.2 update to the relevant customers. No net video, static backgrounds However, the update doesn't let you see Live Wallpapers or Flash video through the internet browser due to 'hardware limitations'. We'd imagine this is more won't rather than can't - we've seen lower-powered phones manage to perform both these functions and it hasn't been a pretty sight. We're currently calling round the other networks at the moment to see if they'll be offering the update soon, but for now it looks like Vodafone has the jump.
