  cant really see this as a bargain when DSE had the Legend for $199 not so long ago which was a superior model.

  Compared to the unlockable and superior specced Acer Liquid Metal S120 from JB HiFi for $128, this would have to be a poor alternative.

    I thought that the Acer from JB was locked to Tel$tra?

      Check the thread he linked. You'd be crazy to buy the Wildfire. It has less than half the pixels.

      The Acer IS locked to Telstra, but can be easily unlocked by upgrading to Android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.

    Umm, another reason to be unhappy with HTC.

  +1. The Wildfire isn't a good phone even at $195 delivered. The Acer Liquid Metal is a far superior phone at $128 with a 3.6" capacitive screen, and has better specs too with NextG support.

  Still not a bad deal if you specifically want a Wildfire S.

    I would go for the Acer too, however the Wildfire S also has a capacitive screen with 850mhz network support (if you are implying otherwise). That said, the internal memory on the Wildfire S is crippling as you can only install a few apps before you're out of space.

      Yep I was implying that, but, as owning a Huawei Sonic 3.5" and having used the Wildfire S I can't stress enough how bigger difference 0.3"/0.4" makes. Also the Acer has an 800x480 screen - more support for games and also supports the Next G network along with the Wildfire S.

  Hi uniquemobiles, are your unlocked devices network brand free? In particular, does the Nokia N9 have any network branding on it?

    Hi, The N9's are not branded.

  Few week ago I bought Same phone of Unique Mobiles - delivery was fast. However, Following was noticed:
  The Phone box was unsealed.
  The screen didn't had any original screen protector.
  The Screen had lots of finger(oily) prints.
  The battery was inserted into mobile phone.
  The battery case was not closed properly.

  It was like buying a second hand phone from them - pretty upset. - I wouldn't recommend them
  (First and most probably Last experience)

    Hi There, Terribly sorry about your experience. I can assure you all stock is brand new and warranty starts from date on invoice. Some models are unlocked by our technicians and when processing a high volume of orders some handsets may miss the final inspection and as a result this is what has happened. If you decide to make your next purchase from UM let us know at [email protected] and we will go out of our way to ensure you are satisfied and supply you with a free accessory of some type.
