Hello there. I've ordered an HTC Wildfire from T-Mobile,due to have it monday. I have a few general queries before I begin to use it. If anyone can advise with the following, I'd be grateful.:o

1) After reading up on the Wildfire, it seems I would have better battery life, running speed and ability save apps on an SD card if I update to 2.2 ('Froyo'?). I would like to know how common some of the issues are that I have read about when people update? For example, screen becoming unresponsive, net access being lost etc. Is it worth (the risk) updating? I'd hate to end up with an unresponsive phone the first day I own it :(

2) If I was to update, would I be covered by my warranty if I experienced such issues? The update is 'ok' to do, yes?

3)I have read that the internal memory on the Wildfire is pretty small. Would the 2GB SD card I already have be sufficient for storing a moderate (say around 15-20) apps so my phone can just concern itself with texts and such?

4) Any other hints/tips a Wildfire/Android newbie should know when starting out? Am looking forward to enjoying Android but am not looking forward to the prospect of any potential complications while I figure oiut how to get set up and running with ease!:o

Thanks for taking the time to read the thread, apologies for all the questions!
 
1.ive not had any issues on my tmobile update runs 2.2 spot on
2.as long as you put an official update from tmobile youre covered
3.the internal memory is quite small so if you update to 2.2 you can store some apps on the memory card the 2 gig card is more than ample but you can always put a bigger 1 in if you need it
4.just have a good play about with it youll sharp get the hang of it
 
yeah what tuck73uk said :-)
when you do update make sure you leave it and DO NOT TAKE the battery out !!!!
no matter what or your phone will be a very sexy paperweight lol

when the update is done install App to SD - Dolphin Browser Add On
:-)
 
Thanks for the replies,guys. Just so I know (so I don't panic!), when I install the update, is the phone going to turn itself off and restart? Or do I need to restart it when I've installed?
