HTC Desire 2 is snapped in the wild & found in Vodafone Germany's inventory system

It sure had its time, but when there are so many new handsets bracing for their eventual release, the HTC Desire is swiftly beginning to show its age. However, we’ve already been greeted with a leaked rendered shot of what’s believed to be nothing more than its successor – the HTC Desire 2.

Now, an actual photo of the Android powered handset was snapped recently and quickly resembles the one found with the rendered shot. Meanwhile, we’re beginning to hear the subtle rumblings about its high flying specs – which include things like a Super AMOLED display and running Android 2.3.1 Gingerbread. And as you can visually see from the photo, we’re greeted to a front facing camera and capacitive buttons; as opposed to the physical ones with the original.

Furthermore, the handset has already made its way apparently into the inventory system over at Vodafone Germany – which could indicate a potential release in the not too distant future. With MWC right around the corner, it’d be the perfect opportunity to see this one make its presence known.
