Bravo will come with HTC Sense out of the box, the Nexus will have to have it installed (not sure if that is complicated or not, never used Android).

How do you know this? I can't see it on the website.

I'd like to know this too as that means a UK retail price for the unlocked version too
It is now multi-touch, with "pinch-to-zoom" just like on iPhone. This comes with Android V2.1. Many Android models are getting this version upgraded, either via OTA or via their PC link.
Can't wait for Bravo. Some people prefer to wait for Supersonic, but personally, for me, I'd go for Bravo for a simple reason: Supersonic uses 4G technology that UK doesn't have at the moment. So, I ask myself, is it worth getting this Supersonic knowing that we ain't getting 4G in this country (never mind other countries that has 4Gs). So, I'd stick with Bravo (when it comes out in March) and live'n'breathe for 2 years. UK might then start to roll out 4G network, only then, I might upgrade to whatever new 4G model, obviously a lot superior to Supersonic of 2010.
Any thoughts?

cheaper than a Nexus 1..
well tempted by this one..

I don't understand that. The Nexus 1 imported is coming in at around £400 right? So a similar price when it is released over here? That means the Bravo is going to be around £350? In which case that is a bargain considering most other phones of the quality are around £450-500 (HD2, iPhone for example).
On the other hand it may mean people are going to get shafted on pay monthly tariffs for the N1, like the iPhone, whereas sim free they are all going to be around the same price (£450-500)?
Either way the N1 seems to be going from a really cheap smartphone (the prices were being toted at around £350 when first released) to a normal-very expensive one like the iPhone...

First-timer here so 'hi!'
My contract finishes mid March and I'm looking at the Bravo or Nexus One. I like the hardware buttons over the optical one's on the Nexus and think the optical mouse looks better than the trackball. What I wanna know is does anyone have any idea about the Htc sense UI limiting what applications and widgets you can run?
I really want the noise cancellation on the Nexus One too, so think I'll plump for that. If the Bravo gets this feature, though, I'll jump over to the Bravo camp.

Looks like they've beefed up the specs slightly so it now just beats the N1, also it may now be known as the "Desire"?

I prefer Bravo over Desire.

Bravo/Desire rumoured to be $100 less than N1. Legend with uprated CPU looking good.

All over that - I think it's a better looking phone than the N1.
