I couldn't find a topic on this, searching HTC Bravo, "HTC Bravo" and just Bravo came with nothing.
Is anyone else looking forward to the bravo? It's basically a Nexus one with hard keys, 720p recording and Sense UI.
Personally, I prefer Sense UI to stock android, even though the hero is still on 1.5 I don't see how in any way Stock Android 2.0/1 offers any better or nicer features than Sense UI.
The Bravo should be announced next week and come out in March. I can't wait for it to be honest and will be upgrading from my G1 ASAP.
The Bravo will be released in Barcelona Monday or Tuesday.
It will get a new name, can't tell what tho.

100%, Just keep following my Twitter
I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK but what about T-Mobile USA.
I like the Nexus One but that stupid plan you need with it to get it at $180 on T-Mobile is what I hate.
Hopefully the Bravo will be around the same price and maybe even cheaper
I also take the Sense UI over stock android. I mean look at the Hero's ancient Android 1.5 Sense UI.
*7 screens
*Very pretty and helpful widgets with cool animations
*Multi touch in browser, gallery, and mail before Google pushed it to the Nexus One (excluding the mail)
*FLASH in browser.
*LOADS of eye candy. I mean everything I go into has eye candy. Even the darn menus.
If HTC SENSE can run smooth on my old MT3G with only 192 mb of RAM and a 528 mhz processor just think how an Android 2.2 HTC SENSE will run on a 512 mb RAM and a 1 ghz processor.
Plus the Bravo will come with all the goodies of Android 2.1
*Newer Market
*Google Maps with Multi touch and navigation
* The other goodies that I can't remember.
HTC will probably make their own version of the 3D gallery and maybe even make their own version of live wallpapers.
Plus all those Nexus One users will want a port of Bravo.
Which is harder to port: Stock Android or a Custom UI Android?
Custom UI is harder to port than Stock Android.
Am hoping this will come out on o2-uk ASAP. As for the leaked brochure saying "april" things can change since then and all sources seem to point at March.
It sure does look like the Nexus, but with a few other features.

Am I looking forward to it, you bet I am. When I saw the specs for the HTC HD2 last year, I was salvating for the whole of the UK. But then you had the well documented camera glitch et al, and the shear size of the handset in my hands just put me off. Alas, then came news of the "Bravo", and it looks like the 3 year wait for well specked smartphone is almost at an end - I can't believe I've turned my nose up at the many offerings that have been cast my way - diamond 1&2, Samsung Omnia 1 & 2...the list goes on.

THIS IS THE BRAVO
THIS IS THE LEGEND.
All I got to say....F**k the Nexus One. With the Bravo (same specs but looks SOOOOO much sexier and has HTC sense) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked. Same with the Legend (A powerful phone but it is a budget phone. Great for it's price but It is not going to be weak like the hero or the g1/mt3g. More RAM and a better processor.) It will officially go to a carrier without getting a lame ass plan or you can buy it unlocked.
I heard it was going to T-Mobile UK and at least one (if not both) of the phones is going to T-Mobile USA.

I think the new desire s is well exactly the same as the desire but with different design gingerbread and a new CPU which isn't even a dual-core. The processor is fast I know but with honeycomb for smartphone and the sgs 2 coming soon it will be unable to compete. I'm not sure about it... anyway least desire we will get some sense with gingerbread
EDIT: I've kind of changed my mind about this, I like the desire s it fixes everything wrong with the desire. It's not much of an update from the desire. It's not amazing, its not crap it just very very good.

It's the phone that's leaked so far already, if the specs are as similar to the stock Desire as they say I won't be bothered
Thats big dissapointment... last year HTC was the best with top hardware, but today even LG is able to do more powerful phones. Goodbye HTC.
This is only the spec on 1 phone, if the HD2 surfaces as thought it could be awesome
DS looks basically like a 'woops, yes the original desire's internal memory was a bit shocking so here's a fix for it, thanks for your cash' sort of release...
Yes they can push out a phone with single core etc. for now because by the time people actually _need_ a dual core will probably be another year - but the only thing the DS looks good for is to make people happy who don't want a big phone (i.e. DHD), and don't already have a Desire
This phone is for new customers. Why you nerds need to upgrade like every month to new phone I will be happy with my Desire for several years... Been using it now over 6 months...
^^ You come onto a forum for people wanting to talk about phones and hack them and yet you call us 'nerds' - what does that make you??

You might be happy with phone like that for quiet a long time, but not everybody is like that, and to be honest, htc not anouncing a dualcore phone is BIG disapointment, coz HTC was already one of the tech leaders, delivering the latest solutions, and I still cannot believe, that HTC is dropping this completely, and taking the mainstream Facebook way instead, they will surely make loads of money on those facebook phones, but missing the top class highend might actually do some damage on reputation...

Part of me wonders if this is an interesting approach - a sort of;
1) get more people on android with nice 'mid-range' CHEAPER android phones
2) wait to see what everyone else brings out
3) bring out something better
To be honest - I think it'll be another year before I upgrade... this year is going to be mayhem for phones and I can see everyone signing up for contracts left right and centre to get something awesome - then (as usual) something better comes along

How can we have a AOSP when Google has not even announced if the are going to release the Source code for ICS yet. I mean AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project.
I for one really hope that Google does release the Source and does not treat ICS in the same manner they did Honeycomb. But I think they just did not want Honeycomb ported to phones is why they did not make it open Source. Maybe now that ICS has the features of Honeycomb in it Google will not hold back and not release the Source.
ALL Android OS are open source, they are ''obliged'' to release the sources in the 3 months after releasing it on any device.
HTC took the freedom to release their Desire source to the last week so N1 devs couldnt adapt it too soon, but in general as we saw with GB AOSP Google release the sources pretty quickly...specially when a new iphone is endangering sales

Yeah that is the exact the point I was trying to make. I am also fairly sure that Google will release the source code for ICS as it is meant for phones and tablets where as Honeycomb was just meant for tablets. But to further my point from my earlier post. Honeycomb source was never released and even the great king the HTC HD2 Leo only got on Honeycomb ROM and it still has a ton of bugs and is not a daily driver ROM. In fact I am not sure if the developer is even still working on the ROm as I have not went to the thread in a good while now. So you see a ROM dump from another device that is running the OS version you want from another device will work to make a port. But ports are mostly buggy at best when first released and also require loads of work by devs. But a AOSP ROM usually works way better and from what I know takes less work from devs to bring to a device.
Can't wait to see what the devs is gonna cook up with ics =)

HTC wont push it out to phones unless they can fully integrate sense into it, thats their hallmark. Otherwise it'd just be another android phone

NOOOOO. ICS should be left untouched
i doubt we will get sense 4 for senny.
as all sense 4 phones will prob have 1gm ram so htc will say "too old" so gotta get devs to port it.
is say we will get it since its there flagship phone and ino for a fact xda devs will port it i really like the ics launcher but i think its too plain so id like to see what sense can do with the sensation

qHD Super AMOLED sounds good
well in the UK its HTCs flagship device.
In US the Amaze 4G and now Rezound are better then Senny.
That does suck if it does happen, but thankfully we have awesome devs here. If Sense 3.0 was able to be ported to the Nexus One, I'm sure 4.0 can be easily ported to the Sensation

im just worried that ICS will need 1GB RAM to be at its full potential.
As Sense adds a lot of overhead on top of stock android.
They already said ICS is coming to sensation.
"HTC knows how excited our fans are to get their hands on Google's latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, so we're thrilled today to announce the first wave of HTC phones that will receive upgrades: We can confirm the brand new HTC Vivid, on sale beginning today, is upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich.

We're continuing to assess our product portfolio, so stay tuned for more updates on device upgrades, timing and other details about HTC and Ice Cream Sandwich"

My thoughts excatly.I think AMOLED is a step back with its penTile Technology. It should at least have a S'AMOLED Plus with a qHD res to be considered an improvement over the current SLCD display.

exactly. and the screen burn or whatever, doesnt display whites correctly. black is and vibrant colors are the only colors that look good. on SLCD "everything" looks good.. yeah the SAMOLED+ with qHD would be interesting, but they are using 2 gens behind xD AMOLED was on the behold 2 and crap like that lol. hopefully they change that.
Couldn't agree more. Amoled displays are so over rated and way over saturated too!

New things and improvements in Sense 4.0:
- Landscape mode now also in home screen (with optimized buttons etc)
- No on-screen buttons (as on Nexus) but will adopt the 3 buttons (prev. 4)
- 3D Task manager
- Better lockscreen, with better integrated notifications, to-do-lists, notes, contacts etc.
- Updated Email client with threaded messages and improved layout (over all better email)
Smart Sync technology which syncs your email based on your usage habits
- Better Browser, with Read later and Watch later functions. Introducing a new Reader feature.
Reader:feature in browser strips away ads and other useless web clutter
Read/Watch Later: feature in browser saves content in a widget which can be accessed at a later time (even offline)
- Guest mode, lets your friends only test some basic stuff (no phone, data, and special apps)
- Better Camera - when it detects a face, it takes 5 pics and chooses the best one. (I guess a new version of Amaze cam?)
ImageSense: auto focus is 0.2sec, shutter time of 0.7sec
Dual Shutter Camera (video record and take photo at the same time!)
- DropBox integrated (25 GB for 2 years for free!)
- Beats Audio will be universal, meaning allowed in any 3rd part apps (Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, VPlayer, etc.)
- SoundHound seems to be integrated in the music app! (see pic attached in 1st post)
- SkyDrive integration (Microsofts cloud storage 25 GB free)
- Scrollable wallpapers are back. Changing wallpaper.
- Carousel and 3D effects are gone (to speed things up)
- HTC Speak - digital personal assistant. Similar to iPhone´s Siri (roumor)
- New sounds (notifications etc)
Overall, loosing some of the bloated feel, and now being more grown up with improved speed etc.
Looks interesting!
The DropBox feature sounds great, the additions to the Browser seem like a nice touch and improved battery consumption with the Email client is welcome.
I just wonder will the Sensation get it as an official update? I'm hoping so since the HTC Ville's specs don't sound too far off the Sensation's.
posted this in the Rom thread you linked this too...
ha so us users with devices getting ICS will get an half sense update and the new phones this yr will get the 4.0....can't wait to hear the reason why they dont update current devices to Sense 4.0...

The DropBox feature sounds great, the additions to the Browser seem like a nice touch and improved battery consumption with the Email client is welcome.
I just wonder will the Sensation get it as an official update? I'm hoping so since the HTC Ville's specs don't sound too far off the Sensation's.

Yeah, sound really good. but, if not any official upgrade for us Sensation users, it will most likely be ported.
but, since we will be upgraded to android 4.0.3 soon (official) it sounds logic that we will get the Sense 4.0 too... right?

ha so us users with devices getting ICS will get an half sense update and the new phones this yr will get the 4.0....can't wait to hear the reason why they dont update current devices to Sense 4.0...

as always, as with bootloader locked - as soon as user start complaining, they cannot exclude us also...
if they are upgrading us to android 4.0.3 they will have to upgrade sense also!

yeah he might be right.. 3.6 might go official at start, but then upgraded to 4.0 to give us that extra WOW-feeling.
the first WOW is android 4.0.3 then after a month or so, they release the 4.0. (or at least after the release of HTC Ville...)

One would think... but logic could also dictate that they would give us a version of ICS to placate us and keep 4.0 for the newer devices to entice people to buy a new phone. LOL
Gotta hate those people with all the $$$!

THIS is what they usually do. the Evo4G didn't get an update when it could easily of gotten one long ago just as an example...
if i had my bet id say they only made this 3.6 ICS to make Sense mesh with ICS on current devices and then from there 4.0 is for new hotness

yeah, i guess. but as with the locked bootloader, they caved in.
if my HD2(love yah ) was locked, i would of threw it away quite soon, but custom roms gave it an extra year. (locked loader was a way for them to not keep your phone up to date, and therefore buy a new one sooner)
hope we get the same result here (as transformer prime)

If this be the case, I'm sure the XDA community will find a way to rip it out. They will port it just like all the other releases.

Blue tint on acer screens persists though; highly doubt its final.
Im most excited about universal Beats support, guest mode (which I hope is customizable), and landscape view (which would have been even more useful when I had a G2).
For all the people worrying about an official 4.0 update, I wonder where you could go to find some sort of online community who likes modifying phones and such?

yeah, i dont even think i will use any stock rom anyway..
wonder if XDA might help?... naaahh
I doubt we will get it.
Just like original Desire did not get Sense 2.5.
Original senny was 3 and now it becomes 3.6 and thats where it will stop.

All the phones released last year with Sense 2.xx got updated to Sense 3.0 ... I think there's a good chance we'll see Sense 4.0 on the Sensation.

Oh yes I know that will be done.
Heres to hoping TMo releases this phone soon, stateside! I've been waiting since december to utilize my full upgrade. BRING IT ON!
I hear you. I have been itching to upgrade with multiple upgrades available on my accounts. I dont want to fork over full price for the Galaxy Nexus like I did with the previous two and want to actually use my upgrade this year. I hope tmobile releases this on 4/4 .
TmoNews posted an article about April 22nd release date. Still all rumors, but here's the hoping.
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/03/htc-one-s-release-date-revealed-as-monday-april-22nd/
Release Date of Germany
The Release Date for Germany ist 2. April for all HTC ONE Devices.

Will we have both the black/red and grey/blue versions on T-Mo USA or just the grey/blue?

@shadow.8 - I believe TMobile is only getting the gray/blue model (I hope I'm wrong). See the following thread for a little related anecdotal evidence, which points in that direction.

I hope not, I really like the black look...
I'm just itching to get my hands on the One S. I had already waited patiently for the GNex, but was sorely disappointed with it and decided to wait for HTC's next wave and I'm sure I won't be disappointed. HTC always make such high quality phones. They really are Quietly Brilliant!

yeah i think there are many people that were disappointed with the galaxy nexus. initially i thought about waiting for the galaxy s3 but all leaked renders show an extremely ugly device (again) and even if it will look different i'm quite sure that it will be ugly some way or another
krait + ceramic-metal-unibody + htc's new bootloader-policy sold me on the one s!
Wait will One S on tmobile has the micro arc oxidation thing?
just a quick note, jusst got confirmation from Vodafone UK telling me stock is available instore from the 5th

the black version is 'micro arc oxidated', the grey is anodized. both frames are aluminium but the finish on the black version is harder.

the take the grey version. i think it will be hard enough as long as you don't try to scratch it on purpose
Is anodized a cheaper process? If so I would think the Grey version may be cheaper than the black version outright. Or maybe that is why Tmobile USA is getting the grey version.

That's possible. Both finishes are extremely high quality but the micro arc oxidation process is more rare in smartphones.
I actually think I like the grey version better. Looks reminiscent of the Nexus One, which is still probably my favorite Android design from HTC.

@Hgaara - I asked a similar question in another XDA thread & so far, it doesn't appear TMobile US is getting the black MAO model. I posed my original question as I did because I found several sources which say only the gray anodized model is coming to TMo, although the information gathered so far is anecdotal. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
[Q] Will the Unlocked One S support T-Mobile AWS?

FWIW, I also refer you to the gradient anodized model which was featured in the leaked video of 3/27/2012 from a YouTube poster who said his unbranded [pre-release] phone was a T-Mobile model.
Seems like the USA version of One, while still amazing, are kinda gimped. I wonder why no MOA version for tmobile.
