HTC Bravo is the HTC Passion, headed to US in January 2010

In the recent Q1 2010 roadmap leak, something new has come out of it. The HTC Bravo (one of the Android phones in that leak), is actually the HTC Passion, and will be named the Passion when it comes to the US in January of next year. In Europe it will be called the Bravo, and will come out in April. So we get the Passion early, but not for Christmas, and it doesn’t look liked the Passion that was leaked not too long ago. But in the meantime you can feast your eyes on the Passion, the best looking Android phone since the Droid.

Android 2.1 ROM reveals goldmine of HTC codenames

by Stefan Etienne on 03. Dec, 2009 in Hardware, Rumors

It’s bewildering. A huge goldmine of HTC codenames for – let’s see, 20+ different phones? And who knows if they’re only phones? Among them is the familiar Hero, and an unfamiliar HeroC, as well as the Passion/Dragon. Here’s the full list of names: Bahamas, Bravo, DesireC, Dragon, Dream, Espresso, Halo, HeroCT, HeroC, Hero, Huangshan, Incredible, Legend, Liberty, Memphis, Paradise, PassionC, Passion, Sapphire and Supersonic. Pretty neat, huh? Over the coming year or so, we’ll know. By the way, HTC does have a weird way of naming stuff, no?

Detailed HTC Dragon screens found; the name is actually Dragon

After some intense searching (and leaking), I’ve come across some detailed pics of the HTC Dragon running Android. It’s obvious that it’s running Android 2.0 with Sense UI. The codename is possibly “Zoom 2″, because of the high-res screen, which is 800×480 pixels. But what sucks, is that these pics are too small, and making them larger would distort them.

There is a screen though that gives the official URL for the Dragon, but redirects you back to HTC’s homepage.  So, what all of this means is that the HTC Passion is actually called the Dragon, it’s sporting a very pretty screen, 3G wireless, a 5 megapixel camera, and GPS.

This is only speculation, but at BGR the above pic is believed to be a shot of a Verizon handset, and that Verizon handset is believed to be the HTC Dragon/Passion. It’s also predicted the it will have a 5 megapixel camera, and Android 2.0. Okay, okay, this is still just a rumor, but it does look like Android 2.0 with Sense UI installed.[BGR]
