Back in early December, we got our first look at the HTC Bravo (http://htcsource.com/index.php?option=com_content task=view id=847 Itemid=58). The first images were renderings in HTC’s 2010 roadmap documents that were leaked. Now, the first live blurry camera images of the Bravo have surfaced with a few details about when we might see the handset. According to Omio, the HTC Bravo will be joining the SONY Ericsson XPERIA X10 for a late March launch on T-Mobile UK. T-Mobile will most likely rename the HTC Bravo (as they do with all their HTC devices) but the handset will be pretty much identical to the Nexus One with the exception of an optical joystick and HTC’s Sense UI, but it will be shipping with Android 2.1. According to Omio, the HTC Bravo will be available on T-Mobile UK in late March for free on a £35 per month service plan.

About a week ago, I posted a few pictures on Twitter of a little project my wife has been working on. My wife knits a little, making scarves and hats from time to time, so I thought I'd put in a little request. I'd seen little knit sackboys from Little Big Planet, so I thought it would be nice to own my own knit Android stuffed robot. My wife went to work, trying to find the perfect pattern for my little DROID and came up with something a few days later. After a few false starts KnitDROID Beta 1 was born. At this point, the wife is still trying to perfect things, but I keep reminding her that it's a Beta. She's debating whether she will make a few to sell since the time needed to make KnitDROID would make the little robot a bit pricey. If you would be interested in purchasing a KnitDROID, let us know in the comments or on Twitter. Be sure to let us know how much you would be willing to pay. Any thoughts and suggestions would be gladly welcomed.

The HTC Supersonic is not new to us by any means. The code name was leaked with an early Android 2.0 build of the HTC Hero. Apparently, the HTC Supersonic will come to life Sprint's network and will be the first Android powered phone to be equipped with a WiMax chip. A tipster has informed Engadget that the HTC Supersonic is “Snapdragon fast”, features a 4.3 inch display, features a kickstand on the back (similar to the Verizon HTC Imagio), and will be running on Android 2.1 with HTC Sense. The HTC Supersonic would not be the first WiMax equipped handset for HTC. Last year they released the WM6.1 HTC Max 4G in Russia. It's nice to see HTC still leasing the way in bringing 4G capable handsets to market, but due to Sprint's limited 4G coverage, I'm not sure how many happy customers they would really have.

The Android development community has been playing around with a leaked “Espresso” build for some time now, but we have never really known when or where this handset would be released. Initial speculation pegged it to be a brand new handset, but others simply slated it to be an Android 2.1 build for the HTC Hero with Sense. TmoNews is now reporting that the Espresso is actually the code name for a new Android phone that will launch on T-Mobile's network some time this spring. The release name for the HTC made handset will most likely be the myTouch Slide of myTouch2. Two different sources indicate that the HTC Espresso will have a QWERTY keyboard, though they don't agree on the keyboard's implementation. One claims that is will be a simple slide out QWERTY, while the other indicates that it could “have a sidekick type keyboard.” I have never been a fan of the SideKick, but I've always thought that's its unique swivel screen was quite fun. Either way, it look like T-Mobile is gearing up to finally get the original G1 off shelves and replace it with another QWERTY equipped Android powered phone.
