The phone we originally known as the Bravo has been officially named the Desire by HTC is the hottest phone around the internet and now their are a few rumblings around that the first carrier to offer this phone is T-Mobile UK. Word on the streets(lol) is this beast first home will be T-Mobile UK on March 26th.
The title says it all, ladies and gentlemen.
The most surprising of the HTC announcements today was the announcement of the HTC Desire, formerly codenamed the HTC Bravo . We got a leak last night suggesting this would happen and indeed it did. The idea that the Desire would be an HTC-Sensed-Up version of the Nexus One was pretty darn accurate with a few details left out. The main differences are that the HTC Desire has an optical trackpad instead of a physical trackball, and on either side of the trackpad are hardware buttons, which on the Nexus One are simply touch sensitive buttons alongside the screen.
The smartphone we knew unofficially as the Bravo has been made official, and the HTC Desire is enough to put any Nexus One envy out of your mind. The Desire has the same 3.7-inch AMOLED multitouch display as the Nexus One, but throws in HTC’s coveted Sense user interface complete with Exposé-style “helicopter view” for homescreen thumbnails. There’s also European UMTS/HSPA 900/2100, an optical joystick, 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU.
If the kids at Modaco are right, the rumored HTC Bravo will launch on Verizon Wireless as the HTC Desire, pleasing a LOT of people but confusing many in the process. The HTC Desire was also the rumored “codename” for what eventually became the HTC Droid Eris. Any way you look at it, the *new* HTC Desire (artist formerly known as Bravo) is essentially another carrier’s version of the Nexus One. All this is rumor of course, but according to the pictures and information here, it’ll also come with HTC Sense
