Although Virgin Mobile was the first to announce it’s bringing the HTC Wildfire to the UK, it looks like the first UK carrier to actually launch the smartphone will be T-Mobile.
The Wildfire is now featured on T-Mobile UK’s website, in the coming soon section, and the carrier says on Twitter that customers will be able to buy the handset starting June 14. Last time I checked, June was in the second quarter of the year, so this might be a mistake, since HTC officially said the Wildfire (which runs Android 2.1) would only be out in the third quarter.
T-Mobile UK didn’t disclose the price of the HTC Wildfire, but “free on select plans” sounds like a safe guess.
