Looks like the Bravo will be having more than just HD video recording as a one up over the Google phone; screens of the device reveal the user interface of the upcoming Android 2.1.

The HTC Bravo and the Google Nexus One will most certainly be compared. Not only do the two devices share many similar hardware specifications, it was also HTC that manufactured the acclaimed Google phone. Anyway, the specs on the Bravo are pretty impressive; with a few extra features that places it just a little above the Nexus. The one single factor that will certainly make the Bravo a better phone over the N-One is more on availability rather than actual specs. The Nexus is only available through Google’s Online store.

Anyway, the Mobile World Congress is coming up this February 15 in Barcelona, Spain and many mobile phone enthusiasts are expecting to see the Bravo to get its formal announcement. The device is expected to be released by March or April of this year, placing it in a prime position to compete with the other Snapdragon Android phone, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10.

For those of you who have not had to take a look at the HTC Bravo, the phone’s specs (as stated above) are pretty close to the Nexus One. The Bravo comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 1GHz processor for delivering fast loading speeds for applications and excellent graphic handling capabilities.

The capacitive AMOLED touch screen is 3.7 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and can handle up to 16 million colors. The phone also comes with a 5 mega pixel camera with auto focus, LED flash, and video recording in 720p HD.

For more details on the HTC Bravo and the MWC next month, Mobile Choice UK has all the details.

3 Sweden has released reports that the HTC Bravo will be released on March 2010 (sadly, no prices are confirmed as of yet). This is a major update from the initial announcement that the uber Android smart phone will be released on April. The one month difference may not seem like much to some, but in the mobile industry it can mean a big difference. Take the case of the XPERIA X2, it was delayed for a month and now, Vodafone has taken the device off the shelf, never to offer it again –apparently.

Anyway, there may seem to be more to this news than just a quickly completed phone. Many of you may have already read the reports that Apple is planning to have an announcement scheduled for April-May. While the company has a habit of making iPhone-related announcements during June/July, it seems like the competition between Google and Apple has forced the two companies to show their hands much earlier.

The HTC Bravo first showed itself to the public when a document regarding the HTC 2010 lineup got leaked last year. The leak showed the main specifications of the Bravo, showing off its Snapdragon Processor, AMOLED capacitive touch screen and of course, the 5 mega pixel 720 p video recording camera. Included in the list are four more Android phones, the Legend, Buzz, Salsa and Tide -as well as three WinMo phones: Photon, Trophy and Tera.

The Nexus One shares many of the specs of the Bravo, such as the CPU and the touch screen, though it lacks the HD recording capability. Right now, the N-one is not doing so well in its first few weeks, and unless Google makes the device easier to avail of and starts fixing the problems in the phone people might start turning to the Bravo instead.

HTC just got its 2010 line up leaked and everyone is excited. After all, when you find 5 amazing Android mobile devices waiting to be released, the only natural reaction is the wait in anticipation.

About two days ago, the mobile community got to take a sneak peek at what is the upcoming lineup of HTC for 2010 thanks to someone who gave out images of the brochure that HTC would present to T-Mobile on NATCO day. According to reports, NATCO days are when a manufacturer presents mobile devices to a carrier. Whether the NATCO day for T-Mobile and HTC has already passed or is yet to happen, we do not know (nor do we know if other carriers have already finished).

What we do know is that these eight mobile phones are all impressive. But none are as impressive as the frontline device, the HTC Bravo.

This Android smart phone runs on a Snapdragon 1GHz processor –a major spec missing in the HTC Hero and the upcoming Espresso. It will also have a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen that is HD-ready as well as a 5 mega pixel camera with 720p video recording capabilities. The only thing weak about this device is the internal memory, which the leaked info places at 500+MB (micro SD card support is reported to be only up to 16GB).

Still, the bravo stands as one of the best devices we have heard about so far (in terms of hardware) and it will do well against the likes of the Snapdragon powered XPERIA X10 and the HD Kurara.

The new update on the Bravo is that the device will be launched during the second quarter of 2010. This coincides with earlier reports that the devices in the leaked document will be out by April of next year.
