With all the speculation and confusion surrounding HTC's new line of smartphones, it's difficult to tell which rumors are true. The most credible source on the Bravo so far is a leaked HTC brochure (below). Based on the specs outlined in the brochure, the Bravo will be a spectacular smartphone.
This sleek handset measures 4.41" by 2.2" by 0.46" thick. It sports a large 3.7 inch AM-OLED touchscreen.The Bravo features HTC’s Sense user interface. It has a virtual QWERTY keyboard (no physical keyboard) and includes an optical joystick below the screen.
The processor is the fast Qualcomm QSD8250 1GHz Snapdragon. Internal memory consists of a 512MB flash ROM and 256MB RAM, plus a removable 16 GB microSD card.
The camera is a 5 megapixel auto-focus unit with LED flash and 720p HD video capture/playback. It also has DivX and Dolby support.
Other features include an FM radio, 3.5 mm audio jack, compass, accelerometer, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, microUSB data/charger jack, and a 1400 mAh battery.
Maximum download and upload speeds are 7.2 and 2.0 Mbps, respectively. The Bravo supports dual-band (900/2100 MHz) 3G WCDMA/HSPA networks and quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) 2G networks GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks. Although the Bravo is apparently slated for T-Mobile, it does not support the 3G network uplink/downlink bands (AWS 1700/2100 MHz) used by T-Mobile USA.
The Bravo is scheduled for release sometime in April 2010. Since it only supports WCDMA 900/2100 3G used primarily in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, it will probably released in these regions rather than the US.
Hopefully T-Mobile USA or one of the other US carriers will also get a version of the Bravo. In any event, the Bravo promises to be one awesome phone.
