Organizer and apps
The HTC Wildfire comes with the usual set of organizing apps. It also has a preinstalled document viewer, which handles office files just fine.
The Quickoffice app can view Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, including the Office 2007 versions.
For editing, you will need to get the paid app though. There is also a PDF viewer app that handles the PDF files.

The doc viewer integrates with the Gmail app, which makes viewing attachments a cinch. You can’t download them to the phone’s internal memory however. Attaching saved files (and we mean all kind of files) is possible though.
The PDF files are handled by the dedicated PDF reader
The calendar has four different types of view - daily, weekly, monthly and agenda. Adding a new event is quick and easy, and you can also set an alarm to act as a reminder.

Agenda view shows a list of all the calendar entries from the recent past to the near future. It’s a very handy tool when you need to check your appointments for the next few days.
There is also a calculator aboard. It is nicely touch optimized with big, easy to hit buttons.

The HTC Wildfire features an alarm clock application, which allows a lot of alarms to be set, each with its own start time and repeat pattern. The Desk clock app turns your Wildfire into a… well Desk clock – it displays the current time and date and allows you to switch off the display backlighting to save battery power or not disturb at night.

The World clock app allows you to quickly check the time in different time zones, while the stopwatch and timer apps might come in handy if you plan to take the Wildfire with you when doing sports. The Stopwatch and Timer apps are also onboard.

The Stocks application gives you quotes from Yahoo finance.

The Voice recorder might be pretty useful for making audio notes and the weather app brings Yahoo’s weather forecast for your area a click away.

The HTC Footprints app lets you geotag images and save them in diverse categories such as favorites, shopping, dining, etc accompanied by a personal note. Once you take a picture of a place you can look up its address and location using Google Maps.

Friend Stream shows the latest status updates of your friends. To use this widget/app you must link your profile to Facebook/Twitter/Flickr and have matching friends to your phone’s contact. After this is done properly, their latest updates will be noted in the Friend Stream widget/app.

Finally Twitter fans will appreciate the preinstalled Peep app, which allows you to update your profile on the world’s largest social network. You’ll need to download the Facebook app since it’s not preloaded.
