Galaxy 3 also has Android 2.1 and its screen resolution is better than Wildfire. I am using Galaxy 3 since more than a month now with no probs whatsoever in WiFi. You can check out my review to know other impressions.

hey dude why did you put optimus gt540 in the list... its got resistive touch!!!
i have been using galaxy 3 for more than one month now and would recommend it if you want a new phone within two weeks...
otherwise if you can wait have a look at optimus one... it got same sized screen as galaxy screen but with better screen resolution(and of course its capacitive), latest version of android and same processor as that of above phones you mentioned...

You can even try out Sony Xperia X8.
The only downside here is the OS version 1.6.
2.1 eclair is expected but u cant really say about that with sony.

Check out Motorola Quench XT3 ..it has got a better resolution than Galaxy and Wildfire and comes within your budget too.

wildfire has a display resolution of 240x320. Its display looks that of a mini psp. Before buying it i thought the screen would be too jaggy but its not. On top of that its a capacitive touchscreen and very responsive. My nokia 5233 looks like a stone in front of it. Wildfire is an awesome phone and more like a cool toy than a phone lol. You should definately buy it. I love its compas thing. Its games, its apps. And most of all its awesome user interface. It also has an optical mouse if you don't want fingerprints on the screen.
Another cool thing. If you use facebook it will automatically add all your friends phone numbers and birthdays on its phonebook and calendar.
