HTC Wildfire escapes from Yellow Mountain riding Android 2.1 (update: official)

Whoops, a press conference in Germany seems to have inadvertently set HTC’s unannounced Wildfire handset loose. The new candybar brings quadband GSM and 900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA radios to the Android 2.1 party powered by the ol’ Qualcomm MSM7225 processor running at 525MHz. Spec-wise we’re looking at HTC’s Sense UI running atop a 3.2-inch QVGA touchscreen, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS/AGPS, Blueooth 2.1+EDR, 512MB Flash and 384MB of RAM, and microSD expansion. Hey HTC, anything you want to make official here?

Update: And it’s official. Press release touting a Q3 release for Europe and Asia after the break.

Update 2: Our hands-on is up.

[Thanks, Frank]
