EDIT: Stoked - I have my Desire - much lighter feeling than the Nexus One.

Being dissappointed to find that the Desire has no Voice Search function I went away and found this:

Also Turn by Turn Maps!

There are some others as well:

A few more apps worth noting, speech to text, nexus one launcher etc

Well we've all been looking out for a decent Android phone, some have found what they like in the Moto Milestone, some in the HTC Nexus 1, others like me are pretty happy with their HTC Hero.

I am coming to the end of my contract (as of Late March) and I have come across some Interwibble Scuttlebutt that states that the HTC Bravo is to be coming to T-Mobile UK in, as luck would have it, late March!

And of course the first actual shot

My first impression of the actual hardware is that it's not a bad looking phone but it's still a long way from the design chic of Apple hardware. They seem to keep doing odd stuff with their buttons, but at least they are hard buttons and not the irritating soft buttons on the Nexus. I think I shall be sitting tight to see what this one comes out like.

this is true, it is fairly ugly - but not as ugly as the Hero :)
 
I'm still very tempted by the HD2 which is a far nicer design, I'd like to try android however as well as the draw of the 720p recording...
 
Im looking forward to the Bravo now. My contract has expired and its now a monthly rolling one.

So I'm gonna wait for this to hit the stores. Its feature packed.

So why didn't they? It doesn't make sense not to, since for RAM more is better.

Clearly something prevented them from doing so. Be it price/cost considerations, product being at a development stage which is too late to change or something else.

No phone manufacturer (htc or otherwise) is limited to 320mb because they don't have the technological ability to use more. Therefore clearly I couldn't have been referring to that.
