HTC Passion becomes “Bravo” for stateside appearance.

So far most in the Android realm have been enamored with this so called HTC Passion. With a lovely 3.5″ AMOLED and 1GHz Snapdragon processor, on paper it’s easily the best Android phone to date. Unfortunately, word of delays are making their rounds, destroying what little happiness we had been reserving for the holiday gadget shopping season. But such is the way of the world. A few days back, HTC’s entire product map was leaked for the 1H of 2010. In it was a rather Passion-esque “Bravo”. The only real differences being slightly more RAM and a slightly larger screen. Well wouldn’t you know it, HTC is making two versions of the Passion. The “Passion” as we’ve come to know and love so far is supposedly not a stateside model — odd considering Verizon’s Holiday & Passion splash page on their website.

Instead, the Passion will formerly take on the name of “Bravo” once it makes the trek across the big blue puddle separating the US from Europe. I’m sort of liking Bravo, though not as much as the Passion moniker. It just seemed more lust worth I guess. Silly names aside, all that matters is what comes inside. For that, The Passion/Bravo/*insert clever name here* won’t disappoint. Look for at least Android 2.0 to come standard with 2.1 more likely by the time this little gem surfaces in retail outlets. Discuss away…
