It's a good phone but I'd not pay more than £100.

Probably... but not the only one.

Mine was given to me by HTC for... selling lots of HTC handsets (I work for vodafone).

Being massively unimpressed (I wanted at lease a Desire S) to show my appreciation I promptly bricked it from a bad flash. I've been trying to recover it for weeks.

Its not such a bad phone when you whack a custom ROM on it. I'm paying £12 a month for 300Mins unlimited texts and unlimited data. Free phone, 2 year contract. Good yes?

I acquired my Wildfire S from T-Mobile back in November and it was free. Was my first Android up until I think around March I sold it for $150 in the middle of the night lol. Truth be told I wouldn't pay no more than $80. But it wasn't a bad phone for me. Just didn't like the small screen (eye problems)

The "retail cost" is about 330USD here from US Cellular, but mine was free, no legal drama

Got mine for 80€ when it was released in France, but I think you can get one in pristine condition for 50€-70€ nowadays.
