HTC Wildfire S headed Virgin Mobile’s way for $200

Along with the announcement of the LG Optimus Slider, Virgin Mobile has outed another Android handset, this time in the form of the HTC Wildfire S. It does not differ much from the HTC Wildfire S that debuted back in February, but for those who prefer not to be tied down on contract, perhaps Virgin Mobile’s version of the Wildfire S could be a handset worth considering.

The handset will set you back $200 and will be available from Best Buy and Radio Shack, with both retailers sporting different colors – silver for Best Buy, white for Radio Shack, and it is expected to be made available come 23rd of October. As far as specs are concerned, we could classify this as a low-end Android handset, but at $200 it’s hard to complain. It will feature a 600MHz processor, a 3.2” HVGA display, 5MP camera and will come loaded up with Android’s Gingerbread 2.3.
