I asked him if new phones would be released in Taiwan before other countries, and he said that there could be a more global release date, rather than staggered. (but this may just be his own opinion). he had a good knowledge of the website and the phones and english language. i let him know that I want to buy a phone ASAP, and I am prepared to wait a month or two for a new phone (bravo/passion/incredible), but if its going to be 4 or 5 months, then I am not prepared to wait. he said he wished he could help me and tell me a release date, but he has no idea. again, he mentioned for me to keep checking the HTC website. annoying! coz I want to decide whether to get an iphone 3gs or wait for the upcoming new HTC phones!! one a side note (but an IMPORTANT ONE): the nexus one (made by HTC) ranks in with a VERY HIGH SAR (radiation level)... and since the bravo/passion/incredible are pretty much the same phone (rumor), then I am worried that they will also carry a HIGH radiation level!! FYI: nexus one SAR (radiation rating) from the owners manual (page 26) is: 0.867 w/kg Head @ 1g 1.39 w/kg Body @ 1g 0.823 w/kg Head @ 10g 1.53 w/kg Body @ 10g the US absolute limit is 1.6 !!! so you can see that the nexus one comes VERY close to this!! the iphone 3Gs is around 0.79 (as a comparison) (1g is the US standard, and 10g is the European standard). so, if the bravo (and Co.) are equally as high as the Nexus One, then i am definitely (sadly) not buying any of them :( so,, now is waiting time!! ok. just spoke to HTC Taiwan, global office:

annoying! coz I want to decide whether to get an iphone 3gs or wait for the upcoming new HTC phones!!

one a side note (but an IMPORTANT ONE):
the nexus one (made by HTC) ranks in with a VERY HIGH SAR (radiation level)… and since the bravo/passion/incredible are pretty much the same phone (rumor), then I am worried that they will also carry a HIGH radiation level!!

FYI:

nexus one SAR (radiation rating) from the owners manual (page 26) is:
0.867 w/kg Head @ 1g
1.39 w/kg Body @ 1g

0.823 w/kg Head @ 10g
1.53 w/kg Body @ 10g

the US absolute limit is 1.6 !!!
so you can see that the nexus one comes VERY close to this!!

the iphone 3Gs is around 0.79 (as a comparison)

(1g is the US standard, and 10g is the European standard).

so, if the bravo (and Co.) are equally as high as the Nexus One, then i am definitely (sadly) not buying any of them :(

so,, now is waiting time!!

On ringing them I asked whether they would be releasing the HTC HD2, to which the customer service agent replied "no, but we will be getting the HTC Bravo sometime around March"...I have no idea what the HTC Incredible is, but I have more then enough confirmation that the Bravo will be coming out anytime soon, I just hope its not the Nexus one with new clothes.

The nexus one is likely the developer version(thats why it invitation only) and the bravo is the carrier version. If we think back htc did this with the ion/magic/mytouch.

My Pre has just been getting better as software updates roll out and the internal hardware is pretty good (better than the Hero class Android phones) but the hardware *casing* is crap and mine keep breaking with normal use. I would love to get another phone but I won't take a performance hit and go to the Hero, I won't start paying another $30 per month for the Droid on Verizon, and I won't do the same for an iPhone on ATT. I considered switching to T-Mo for the Nexus One but if the rumors of family plan exclusion are true I would also be paying at least $20-30 more than I do per month now with two individual plans. I know on some level that there will be a Nexus or Bravo class device out on Sprint at some point this year but it is frustrating to wait and this month is my only chance to leave Sprint for T-Mo without an ETF if I decide to do so. Hopefully CES and other events this week will help clear up what to expect this year. All of these rumors are making me antsy.

As things stand right now... The next top off the line HTC phone will be the HTC Passion/Bravo/Dragon/Incredible... For some reason unknown... Google has decided to sell a lite version of the the HTC Passion/Bravo/Dragon/Incredible at normally unsubsidized prices... The Nexus is light everywhere except on the RAM... Where it has 192 more MB's.. Everywhere else it's lite... No Multitouch, No Divx playback, No optical mouse, No flash from the get go... But they are charging regular prices for the phone.. HTC phones run $600 unlocked/unsub... So we are gonna have to pay full price for a lite version of a phone... The reason that this might pissed me off is if non of the info changes that's known right now.. $540 full price... Very close to the same as the full HTC version will cost.. $180 for the lucky one's that don't need a family plan but want to get screwed on the mins... No Data Only or White Space Tech VOIP option as far as we know... But what is pissing me off.. Is that if u'r lucky enough to live in a good TMobile area like I do... The next two years will be great to be a TMobile user... It should become the fastest 3G network shortly & keep getting better... And you can't beat the family plan prices on TMobile, specially on the Plus plans... But the Nexus One will probably delay any chance of getting the full HTC Passion/Bravo/Dragon/Incredible on TMobile... Since they already kind of got the Lite HTC Nexus One... I hope I am wrong... And TMobile has already been dragging it's feet getting the next HTC Android devices... MyTouch is a joke as a Android flag standard phone for a carrier... I think this will not push TMobile on upgrading even faster... Thanks for nothing google..lol Well, I’m pissed(Unless google surprises us in a couple of days)…

It looks like it has at least two hard buttons. That is a big advantage to me over the N1. I just don't know if I can wait for this phone to come out.

This phone looks like it is going T-Mobile, but those 3G bands are Europe, so probably T-Mobile in Europe. Not sure what the hubub is bubs..

Or will the Verizon version look like this? Remember that the Passion/Dragon (which turned out to be the Nexus One)awas originally rumored to be coming to Verizon. Ah. the sweet smell of specualtion.
