Update: We've now had TechRadar-shaped hands all over this phone, so check out our Hands on: HTC Wildfire S review.

We all love a little bit of inventory nonsense – but then again, sometimes it comes up with some prime forward-looking goods.

That may be the case with the same inventory that brought us the HTC Pyramid name over at a German network, as hidden further down the list is not only the LG Optimus Speed – which presumably is actually another name for a dual core handset - but the HTC Wildfire S too.

Above it is the HTC Desire 2 – but we're having problems believing that name, as it would get confusing as the Desire HD and Desire Z are already pseudo-sequels.

Rumblings

We've heard whispering before that it could be called the HTC Desire S, and it seems that SlashGear has heard the same, noting the handset could be coming alongside the nailed-on HTC Scribe.

The HTC Wildfire S would be a quick refresh of the popular phone from the Taiwanese firm – presumably it would be running the updated version of Sense, and would call into question the point of the HTC Gratia.

The 'S' suffix is becoming oddly popular with today's mobiles, with the iPhone 3GS starting a trend followed by the Samsung Galaxy S and Nexus S – could HTC be about to follow suit?

We're very much looking forward to Mobile World Congress this year, as it promises once again to herald the coming of a slew of new top end phones – keep checking back to see what pops up.
