Still Confident Bravo is coming to Verizon

Not open for further replies.
All I want is confirmation that Passion/Bravo is OR isn't coming to VZW, then I can either buy a Droid or wait a little longer for Passion/Bravo!

I think we're all waiting for CES which starts Jan 7th. If not by the start of the conference sometime during there should be announcements is the Nexus One is a consumer phone or developer phone. I'm sure Verizon would like to come out with more then just the Palm Pixi.

I'm trying to hold on with you guys. I want to believe that something will happen in January.

Right with you! I'm still holding onto $150 of rebate credit which looks to expire 01/10...so I sure hope the next good Android device gets released before 1/31/10! I'm pretty sure the "1/10" expiration on the credit card rebates means they're good til the END of January...I hope :)

Engadget just dropped the news earlier that Verizon is confirmed to get the HTC Incredible. Link: HTC Incredible is coming to Verizon, better live up to its name -- Engadget Mobile

Now, what's exciting is this....Remember the HTC roadmap that was leaked? Well there was an interesting typo that says this:

Enhanced Video: The Incredible delivers an unrivalled media centric experience, that does not stop at hardware With Dolby and DivX, you really can enjoy and enhanced media experience on the move.
Notice it says, the "Incredible" and not the "Bravo".

Here is the link so you can see for yourself: http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/htc_2010_product_roadmap_18_htc_bravo.jpg

So maybe the Incredible is Verizon's version of the Bravo. Maybe with similar specs? Link: http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/htc_2010_product_roadmap_19_htc_bravo_specs.jpg

I'm right with you guys, waiting for verizon to get that killer phone I've been waiting for. For me it's HTC Sense UI, 1Ghz Snapdragon, 3.7 AMOLED, Android 2.x, and 720p HD video. I like the FM radio also. :D

Maybe the Incredible fits the bill.....Next question is when do we get it? :thinking:

Okay, rewriting this after my computer crashed on me!?

Well, I was going over the HTC roadmap images again and found another reference to the Incredible in the Bravo brochure.

We already know about this one,

Link: HTC 1H 2010 portfolio - Performance - Engadget Galleries

Which says this:

Enhanced Video: The Incredible delivers and unrivaled media centric experience that does not stop with hardware. With Dolby and DivX, you really can enjoy and enhanced media experience on the move.

Now check this out! I found this on another page of the brochure.

Link: HTC 1H 2010 portfolio - Performance - Engadget Galleries

Third point down says this:

USER EXPERIENCE: Websites, maps, videos and images come to life when viewed on the Incredible. Millions of colors and fluid full-motion video will keep your eyes glued to the expansive 3.7 inch display. The AMOLED screen is perfect for viewing from any angle at any time of the day. Beyond watching media on the Bravo, you can also capture video without compromising on the quality with the built-in high definition camcorder.

Okay, now I could see maybe one typo with the name Incredible in there, but twice? So, at least in my mind, this pretty much seals the deal. Incredible = Bravo! I guess we will see when get some official word.

What do you guys think?

Sir, you have 100% convinced me of the Bravo being the Incredible. On a related note, your greatness has inspired me to register haha.

jeez..i wish i knew when the Incredible Bravo is coming out...i just bought a Droid...but I got 30 days..and i realllllyyyy hope that the Bravo comes out by the 20th of January!!! please!!


One of the brochure page states April 2010.
I think that is probable more towards the truth .
I had read on one of these tech site that Motorola had bought a block of advertising for the supper bowl.
IF that correct I would imagine that the Droid would still there main push to sell.
Motorolla needs help and I don't think that VZW would want to cut there legs off so quickly.
Vzw i'm sure is happy with the Droid sales so why split the market when the anticipation for a new phone can sit on the back burner and simmer.

I think you are confusing some things.
The catalog said the Bravo (aka the european name) was coming out in april which would mean in Europe. US is supposed to be in January.
Motorola buying a block of advertising wouldn't have to have any effect on Verizon's advertising. In fact Motorola buying advertising in Early January could be indicative of Verizon moving on to advertise something else. I'm not sure I've seen any motorola advertising for the Droid so far. All of it has been Verizon. Going by the timeline that was released Verizon's Droid launch push ends on the 26th of this month. Hence Verizon moving on early next year would make sense.
I dont know why people think Verizon cares which phone gets sold. If the Incredible/Passion sells at the same price point and requires the same plan fees as the Droid, Verizon wont give 2 hoots whether a store sells a Droid or a Passion. $200 is $200 to Verizon. Besides an Android 2.x phone without a physical keyboard just means they can possibly expand their base a bit more (and a few less parts to break for their tech support people to fix).

All, if Moto is buying Super Bowl advertising that will not hit the airways until Mid February. Most likely the new HTC Passion/Bravo/Incredible....whatever it is called will be on the market by then. I agree that Verizon could care less what phone it sells, they just want contracts. Also last time I checked a company as big as Verizon would not be afraid to offend a vendor...
If Moto is buying advertising that may point to a Moto Droid Version 2 coming out?? Who knows.
Bottom line Moto (in my mind) cannot compete with the HTC sense UI. I will be waiting for the HTC and I am anticipating a Jan 5th release date. No proof....just a hunch!
