HTC today introduced a new Google Android based handset called HTC Wildfire. The handset uses HTC sense UI to integrate the most popular social networks and bring easy access to various Android applications. According to HTC, Wildfire enables you to stay up to date with your friends' posts, comments, alerts and photos, wherever you are. In addition, each contact viewed in HTC Wildfire's address book includes a thread of recent communications with that person, including when you last spoke, recent text messages and emails, and social network updates. When your friend calls, HTC Caller ID displays their Facebook profile photo and latest update, as well as a reminder if their birthday is fast approaching.

"Today's social networks provide an essential forum for friendship with more than 400 million users – many of whom are young adults – actively sharing their lives with their friends through Facebook," said Florian Seiche, Vice President HTC EMEA. "HTC Wildfire makes the HTC Sense experience available to young mobile users for the first time. It brings all your communications into one place, whether it's through Facebook, Twitter, text messages, images or email, ensuring that you are never far away from the conversation and always close to your friends."

The Android 2.1 handset features 3.2-inch QVGA screen, 5-megapixel camera, 525MHz Qualcomm MSM7225 processor, quad-band GSM, dual-band UMTS/HSDPA, 512MB onboard storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, A-GPS and microSD card slot. HTC Wildfire will ship in Europe and Asia in Q3 2010. No word on price yet. Check out the hands-on video posted by SlashGear below.
