T-Mobile unofficially confirms HTC Wildfire recall

CORRECTION: 31/07/2010
HTC has been in touch to say the below is all a load of nonsense, and that the HTC Wildfire is still very much in stock across all networks and has not been recalled. Apologies to everyone for the mix-up.

Rumours and speculation abound! In a telephone conversation today, an unofficial T-Mobile source has claimed that the HTC Wildfire is not currently being sold due to a firmware problem with the handset.

This action was apparently taken after too many complaints were received that the handset was crashing intermittently.

It seems the ball is in HTC�s court to fix the problem before T-Mobile will offer them again. This may be limited to the T-Mobile version of the firmware (if it is a firmware problem) as the phone still seems to be available from other retailers, such as Vodafone.

The Wildfire is currently showing as �Out of stock� on T-Mobile�s web store.
