love the battery as well, as big as 1400mah, the HD2 only 1230mah. with the smaller screen and using amoled, the battery life should good. should be almost as good as the omnia 2.

Damn..I dont want to sell my Hero..but this phone does have attitude! Battery 1400 mAH is indeed going to be too small for the snapdragon, but you guys will be surprised  I can already predict how they will setup the kernel for this one. I'm turning into a kernel CPU freak nowadays..LOL..

From mobile review,
"The crucial point, which will play not last role in sales Of bravo - difference in the cost of this apparatus with HTC HD2. Both flag officers, similar according to the characteristics; however, HD2 works under OS Windows Of mobile, which indicates addition to the cost of license WM, there are no such deductions for Bravo, and it must have lower price list, possibly, to 20-30 US dollars, and can also on 100. if the company succeed in deriving Bravo on the price lower than HD2, for the platform this WM there will be serious impact. Otherwise we obtain simply very attractive technically flag officer to Android, I think, it will be pleased to those users, which completely arranges the functionality of system and is required as powerful as possible device on it"
hmmmm... interesting... cheaper and better then HD2.... more pocketable, 720p video recording, bigger battery, AMOLED (even better for the battery) and possibility of multitouch gaming and typing

we're gonna see full review and hands ons very soon. america will get it in january 2010, while europe in April. QUOTE If you were wondering about the difference between the Bravo and the recently leaked Passion, there is none other than the branding apparently. We're also hearing that the above handset will be available in the US in January, a cool three months ahead of the expected European release. http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/htc-bra...d-more-lucidly/
