HTC Bravo gettin' overexposed in the wild?
As breathtakingly bad as the picture is, what we're looking at here could very well be the first shot of HTC's upcoming Bravo in the wild -- the industrial design lines up nicely with what we've seen in the company's leaked roadmap, anyway, and that funky little optical pad in the center perfectly matches the component that you can clearly see on the Legend render. It's said to be "near identical" to the Nexus One -- which makes sense considering that we thought the Nexus One was the Bravo for a while -- so the big draws here would have to be the removal of the trackball (we're not complaining) and the Sense UI covering up Android 2.1's default look. If 3 Sweden knew what it was talking about, this thing could be on shelves this quarter... so watch your back, MOTOROI.
























looks like htc's peanut butter is attaching itself quite nicely to androids jelly.
c'mon lunch break.
@thrillchuckles
Peanut Butter Yelly time!
@thrillchuckles - PB Andy time! Andy being android.
What I am concerned with is.. bravo is not coming to the US, but the passion is. What I would like to see is the Tmo commitment of bringing its counterpart to the US on their site as an offer - personally, I dont care if I have the N1 or the Passion, I just would like to upgrade
@POZ Passion == Nexus One
@POZ : this would the "Nexus one: the one that works" edition.
@jeanlaughtry
I dont think that's the latest.
@POZ One of the rumors making the rounds suggests that the Passion is now on track for a January 2010 launch in the States while the Bravo will launch three months later with T-Mobile in Europe. Details: http://bit.ly/htc-bravo-experience
@xtasi The nexus One works perfectly well.. all the stupid reports and crap here and a few other places were just to try to kill it's debut and keep the iphone on it's Mountain.
When really no one phone will take out the iphone. There's no iphone "killer" but Android in it's entirety will and is currently working on it and doing well. Check the 2009 pole here, the droid is tied with the 3GS
The Nexus One is an amazing phone. Beats the 3GS and the Droid hands DOWN for me. I've had the droid, used the 3GS extensively, and now own and love the Nexus One!
DO WANT!!!!!!!
@GoogleCEO
*Looks at GoogleCEO's Avatar*
Yeah, me too...
holy shit i want this
I like this phone a whole lot better than the N1. The trackball and Tmobiles network killed the N1 for me.
@Ezye1313 Well, guess what this is supposed to go to T-mo as well, sorry, I know I hate it to.
@1ofdakoolkidz
Around here T-Mo is better than Verizon when it comes to signal strength and quality
@z0phi3l Hey, I know where you live.
12920 SE 38th St.Bellevue, WA
P.S. I must agree your probably right!
@1ofdakoolkidz
it might not come out for t-mo, because htc is making some android phones for AT&T as well, but it can go to any carrier i guess but that is one nice ass phone! ...liking the optical mouse 0_o
@Ezye1313 I don't mind the trackball, but I will certainly take the hardware buttons over the soft capacitive ones. My #1 complaint for my Droid would be the lack of real buttons on the face.
@PerryAJ I agree, especially since the drivers for the capacitive buttons on the Nexus One aren't built into the kernal, meaning they only work inside the booted android system (not usable when in recovery or loading rom, etc)
1rst
@Kohai fail ur not the first anymorz.
Oh no!!!
.....
I´m waiting for the snapdragon one with xenon flash, multitouch and front camera to video conference my girl through skype....
@Kohai
By girl do you mean 'mom'?
@MONKEY I like how you morons have to troll someone for having something you don't. (In this case, a girlfriend). And what's worse, you get upranked for it.
@Atara9 I think the whole point is the he threw in a random fact that seems to have no point BUT to brag, so someone just mocked him (and in a somewhat funny way). That's what the upmods are for.
If you have no idea what I'm saying, think about how weird it is to say "I want a front facing camera so I can video conference my parents." (Normally people would just say "I want a front facing camera so I can video conference")
When XDA makes a rom available I will def. root my phone like I did the G1. Even though I am quite happy with 2.1 vanilla UI... but who know how long that will last
Woah. I must say, Bravo!
What carrier is going to have this phone? Please tell me "Sprint"!
@tonie Sorry, T-mo is getting the love along with the HD2, X10, Nexus 1, and now this.
@1ofdakoolkidz
Yeah, those articles are about T-mob UK. that has nothing to do with T-mob US. This phone could be going anywhere in America.
@1ofdakoolkidz
Is there a source for Bravo and X10 with T-Mobile?
@jon Listen, I want this phone just as bad as the next, but T-mo has not got any recent Android phones that only went to T-mo UK and didn't come here, to T-MO USA. Just look at the HD2 how many people wanted it, well guess what T-Mo US got it. I think this phone(hope to god) will come to VZW but I think it will be the Incredible and have VZW's twist on it. AT&T fans I think you can pretty much forget about it, and Sprint, well your getting a hot phone so be patient.

@sfox8 Both rumors, the X10 one is speculation based on the normal version's choice of 3G bands.
@1ofdakoolkidz
Really, where's my t-mob UK nexus one? It should be coming, but that might take 6 months. The HD2 has been out on t-mob UK since Nov, it could still be several months before we see it in the US.
The problem is, you're making an assumption and stating it as fact.
If this phone comes to T-mob US I'll probably buy it, along with the HD2, but at this point, you don't have any information.
@tonie
Let's hope this means that Sprint Hero 2.1 updates will happen around the March time then...knowing that this should drop in March we know that HTC has Sense UI on 2.1.
@jon Does anyone have any information? I am stating my assumptions based on previous track record(the closet thing to facts that anyone has right now) so, about the Nexus1, that dropped first in the US so, not really the same and as far as the HD2 it doesn't matter how long it took the point is it is still coming to T-MO USA, so (IMO) this phone will go to T-MO U.S.A, thank you.
@1ofdakoolkidz
So you're telling me T-Mobile US has a HTC Hero?!
Just because a couple recent phones have released on both US and UK doesn't mean all future phones will. Saying "I don't think this will go to XYZ carrier" would have made more sense than stating your inferences as fact.
@1ofdakoolkidz
"Does anyone have any information? I am stating my assumptions(as facts ed.) based on previous track record(the closet thing to facts that anyone has right now)"
That is exactly what is destroying the news industry. Don't be that guy.
Hello, future device of mine.
aint she a beaut!?
@iroq d mullet
can't say the same about your profile pic...
@New Reformation
don't be hatin' cause my hair is luxurious.
tmob already has nexus one and getting hd2, verizon getting nexus one - bravo probably headed to sprint
Another HTC phone... Crikey! They (HTC) are like the architypal crack mom. Just pushin em out, forgetting about em and waiting for someone else to come along and promise her fame and fortune for a few minutes loving (Google?)
Surely this can not last won't they just devalue the brand and help fragment Android which is starting to suffer schizophrenia?
I wish the manufacturers would give you the option of getting the vanilla OS. As pretty as Sense UI is, there will come a day when Android 2.1 isn't the greatest, and I don't want to be stuck on the old version because HTC hasn't patched up yet.
@mondeca
Worst part of having my Hero is waiting for updates due to Sense UI.
Sense is fantastic but you do grow impatient waiting for updates. Thankfully, xda devs/MoDaCo/HTCPedia communities have provided some great Android roms. I'm running AOSP 2.0 on my Hero at the moment and it's a great rom.
@mondeca
You can disable Sense UI.
@ljm if you do that, can you update to the latest Android OTA? Or will you be stuck at Cupcake or Donut, or whatever HTC wrote Sense against?
I found this little gem earlier and there is actually on other picture over at HTC source.

@1ofdakoolkidz
thanks for the link. But wow, is horribly lit and blurry cam pics the new "in" thing in the technology world now? This picture's overexposed, the other one's extremely underexposed! Why do the people that leak these things never have any camera skills?
