The HTC Wildfire S was announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year, along with the Incredible S and the Desire S. Both of the aforementioned phones have made it to India already, so it was only a matter of time before the Wildfire S landed on our shores too. If OnlyGizmos are to be believed, that will happen next week.

Will this news spread like Wildfire?

The Wildfire S is a rather modest device and will be the cheapest Gingerbread smartphone to release here. Check out the specifications:

3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen at 320x480, encased in Gorilla Glass
600MHz Processor, 512MB RAM
Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense UI
3G, HSDPA 7.2Mbps support
WiFI b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP + EDR
5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash
Stereo FM Radio with RDS
1230mAh battery

The HTC Wildfire S is expected to cost around Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 16,000 at launch.
