Tweet

Do any of you remember the HTC Bravo that was slated for a release on Orange? It looks like the folks from Modaco got the scoop ahead of an official release, and, if they’re to be believed, the Bravo will be renamed as the HTC Desire (funny how the Droid Eris was known as the Desire, too) and given the specs it has, a Verizon Wireless debut sometime soon is expected.

Nothing else than a rumor for now, the new HTC Desire should come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that clocks at 1GHz, 512MB of RAM and 576 MB of ROM, runs Android 2.1 (Eclair), has a 5 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, and a rather large 3.7-inch AMOLED touch-sensitive display (480 X 800 WVGA pixels), along with GPS support, Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b/g) & A2DP Bluetooth 2.1.

With the 2010 MWC in full swing in Barcelona, wouldn’t it be nice to see the HTC Bravo/Desire official? Rumors have it that we could … tomorrow.
