It seems as though HTC might have hit the nail on the head with their upcoming release of the new HTC Passion/Bravo. It also seems as though there is a bit of confusion from major technology blog sites Engadget and Gizmodo about the branding of the phone in the US. Engadget headlines their article, “HTC Bravo pictured more lucidly (Update: coming to US in January as HTC Passion)”, while Gizmodo’s article reads as “HTC’s Passion to be Known as Bravo in States”

Hmm… Sounds like someone got confused somewhere.

Aside from the European release and the US release being 3 months apart it seems that the only difference between the phones is the branding.

Naming aside, this phone may shine a new light on smartphones for me, since most of the time I am unimpressed with one aspect or another. The phone is rumored to have a plethora of pleasing specs and looks that make me giggle, bringing together a very, very holy alliance between the: Snapdragon QDS 1GHz CPU, Android 2.0, AMOLED 3.7 inch capacitive touchscreen, 5MP camera capable of shooting 720p video, and a variety of other nifty features including Wifi, FM radio tuner, digital compass and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

It’s too bad I have another year left on my contract, or else getting the Passion/Bravo would be my new years resolution. Maybe they’ll have something nicer by then. Who knows? Maybe 2010 will also have an iPhone for Verizon?
