HTC Bravo to Face off the Google Nexus One
HTC Bravo
In more ways than one, the HTC Bravo and the Google Nexus One have been closely related devices. Aside from the fact that HTC manufactured both devices (though the Nexus was Google branded), they are similar to each other in terms of specs and form. In December, when there were plenty of news and rumors about the Nexus One, some people even mistook the two devices as one.
The Nexus One was unveiled and released early this January at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California where it was revealed that the device would be exclusively sold through the Google online store. While this may have been a bad move for Google (they only managed to sell 20,000 units in the first week of sales), this was beneficial to many other mobile phone manufacturers who were also working on Android devices.

Still, many people want the Nexus One. In the UK, the only way to get the Snapdragon powered Android smart phone is to order the device online with an additional cost of 30 Pounds for the shipping and the UK adapter. No, it looks like HTC is going to deliver a cheaper and equally impressive alternative, the HTC Bravo.
The reason why people mistook the Bravo for the Google phone was because the two devices are similar in specs. The Bravo comes with a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, a 3.7 inch AMOLED capacitive touch screen and a 5 megapixel camera –just like the Google phone. But unique to the Bravo is the ability to record videos in 720p HD quality. It has also been reported that the HTC will be available locally in the UK and that the device will have a much lower price than the Nexus One.
