Well this comes as no surprise as we’ve been onto this since the start, but Telstra has now made it official.

They will be releasing the HTC Wildfire in August, although no pricing has been announced, Telstra have stated that pricing will be “aggressive” just like it was with the HTC Desire, and that it will be priced lower than the Desire. Well, we bloody hope so. Telstra are pretty much marketing it as the Desire, but smaller & more social network oriented.

The HTC Wildfire is a direct opponent to both the SE X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro, even though Telstra are launching the X10 Mini Pro in August as well. Seems like small devices are all the rage.
