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.

Hey you guys might want to fix the picture, but I am sure someone is already in trouble for it. The serial number HTC uses to track which employee is assigned to this phone is showing at the bottom of the phone. Might want to blur it out...

Sorry, but no keyboard, no sale.

there has been nothing but weak speculation about who is getting it and when. To sum them all up: Verizon and TMO and sometime beween now and April. Or in otherwords, just about the same time we really start hearing about the iphone4 coming to Verizon... to screw everything all up.

I must be in the minority, because I don't dig the "buttons" at all... makes it look dated... something more to go wrong... i'll take an optical trackpad, but not the buttons... would rather have haptic touch virtual buttons...
