The HTC Bravo Android phone, leaked on paper late last year, has just turned up in a brand new, in the flesh spyshot. If you were wondering what pros it might have over the similarly specced, HTC made Google Nexus One, we’ve got good news: that’s an optical trackpad sitting pretty at the bottom of the handset. Read on for the details, and UK launch plans.
Renders of the HTC Bravo first appeared back in early December, but the five megapixel camera phone packing a 3.7-inch OLED screen has since fallen off the radar since the eerily similar Google Nexus One went on sale.
But Omio has put the HTC Bravo back at the front of our minds with this brand new shot: gone is the beautiful, gold teflon case of the Nexus One, but in its place is a black shell with an optical trackpad instead of a bobbly, lint sucking trackball, both the HTC Hero and Nexus One’s weakest link. It will also offer multitouch, and HTC’s Sense UI for social networking butterflies.
HTC Bravo Android super phone incoming
Omio also has the scoop on a price and release date for the HTC Bravo: we’re looking at a late March launch on T-Mobile in the UK, free on a £35 per month tariff.
If T-Mobile has bagged an exclusive on the HTC Bravo, we could soon see a war between the network and Vodafone, which is soon to sell the Nexus One. Has Google’s own brand phone been outdated already? Stay poised for more details.
