I'm looking to buy an Android phone. Since this will be my 2nd/backup/personal usage phone (I already have a BB for official use), I do not want to spend more than 10-12k on it. I'm confused between HTC Wildfire and LG Optimus P500. My requirements: 1. QWERTY like typing 2. Good battery life 3. GPS, BT, WiFi 4. Good camera HTC Wildfire seems to fulfill all of the above. But its Android 2.1. And the Optimus is 2.2 (but I have heard HTC is better than any other brand when it comes to Android handsets). Which one to go for? Also, I would like to know - what big deal is it to upgrade the firmware on an Android? Like Nokia/BB, can we not upgrade to the next available version? |

^^^Right, the cam on O1 isn't so good. :( Haven't compared it with Wildfire's cam though. Is Wildfire's noticeably better? Why is there no other way besides Swype? There are other keyboards available. I concur that the stock Android keyboard is not at all good for this phone/screen size. I guess thats why LG has put in their own keyboard, and its quite usable, if one does not want Swype. Of course, if you compare it with those on larger screens, then its of course still cramped. |

For what it is worth, I looked at these two phones very closely, and chose the Optimus One P500. The Optimus One has double the resolution (or double the pixels), and even then, has just about enough pixels for you to do anything meaningful with the phone. This will make a very big difference when using mapping, GPS, gaming apps etc. Plus, because of the higher resolution, a much larger number of apps will work with the Optimus One. My other reasons were that the Optimus (also) has very good build quality, has a very good battery, and comes with Android 2.2 out of the box. On the down side, the camera is not as great as the Wildfire, which has a higher resolution (not that important) and comes with flash (very important). Regarding qwerty, you will have to learn how to use Swype - there is no other way, as the default keyboard is really bad for any Android phone. Or else, you will need to go for an Android phone with a hardware keyboard. By the way, I use a bb for work too, and find the Android keyboard really bad to use in comparison. Swype is leagues better, but has a bit of a learning curve. |

LG Optimus P500 score better on 1. 512 MB RAM against 384 2. 600 Mhz Processor against 528 3. Better battery at 1500 mAh against 1300 mAh 4. Offcourse Froyo 2.2 against 2.1 Build quality of LG is solid but no experience so I can not compare with HTC Cheres |
