HTC Bravo Anyone?

Well, the big difference (and the delay) is that the HTC Bravo will quite likely have HTC's Sense UI.

This is a very fancy graphical user interface enhancement which is layered on over Android and it's what makes the HTC Hero an iPhone killer.

The Nexus One with Sense UI i.e. the HTC Bravo will wipe the floor with a lot of phones, iPhones included.

The delay is that HTC are currently working on a stable version of Android 2.1 with Sense UI bolted on.

I'd suspect that you'll see it in March sometime which is when the update for the HTC Hero is estimated to arrive.

The Desire will have the Sense UI. March 26th is earliest street date confirmed yet (T-Mobile in the UK). Here's a nice, short article on the differences between HTC's major phones (Legend v Nexus One v Desire v HD Mini)

It has no noise cancelling mic.

Nice article, looks like Legend will be the one to get.

€419 on amazon.de sounds reasonable.

Maybe not!
The reviewer seems to prefer the looks of the legend, that's why he gives it top spot, but to be honest that's a purely personal thing, I prefer the look for the Nexys1/Desire from the pics I have seen!

Around the same price I paid for my Hero, seems reasonable.

Looks very nice. Im liking the Legend too but no Snapdragon Chip which is frustrating. I think the Desire looks a tad nicier so Im leaning towards that.

yes you're right, with the snapdragon processor, it'll be well faster than the legend!

Vodafone, 3 & T-Mobile have lined up to bring the Desire to the UK. Hopefully that'll mean Vodafone Ireland will be bringing it here shortly as well

we can put hope, any value in lobbying Vodafone??

I hope Vodafone dont get the Nexus and the Desire. I'd like if a bit of healthy competition came into play I can see Meteor getting the Legend, but Im only basing that on the fact that they got the Hero.

500euro on amazon.de now. works out about 550euro on expansys.co.uk and 570euro on expansys.ie.

419euro seemed very cheap. The noise cancelling mic was left out to keep the price down. apparently the inclusion of that little mic adds quite a bit to the cost of the device. Have one pre-ordered. can't wait.
