Wireless carrier Vodafone UK is among the operators which would bring three of HTC's latest smartphones to the market in the UK, following the official unveiling of these handsets at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, previously this week.

The three phones that Vodafone UK would range soon include the HTC Desire S, Wildfire S and ChaCha, all three running under Google's Android operating system.

The wireless carrier already added these devices to its online store, with “coming soon” tags attached to them.

Most probably, it would have them on sale starting with the second quarter of the year, as would Orange and Three, which went official with plans to carry the phones too.

The HTC Desire S was announced at MWC as the successor of the company's popular Desire smartphone, with the new Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board.

“The brand new HTC Desire S smartphone lets you capture and share videos in HD, experience enhanced internet browsing and make video calls with its front-facing camera,” the wireless carrier notes on its website.

The phone sports a fast 1GHz application processor, 8MP camera, microSD memory card slot for expanded storage space, enhanced connectivity options, and great features courtesy of the new HTC Sense UI packed on top of Android.

“The HTC Wildfire S makes social networking easy. More compact than its predecessor, the Wildfire, but even more powerful - with the latest Android operating system and a high-resolution HVGA screen for a more defined display. It also boasts a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash,” Vodafone explains.

As for the HTC ChaCha, we should note that it comes to shelves as a “Facebook phone,” courtesy of that Facebook button that HTC packed it with.

Based on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the handset would also sport a user interface designed specifically to deliver a better social networking experience.

As stated above, HTC Desire S, Wildfire S and ChaCha were already listed at Vodafone UK as coming soon, and they can be seen here, here and here, respectively.
