Sense-packing Bravo coming sooner than expected?

Engadget Mobile is reporting (via Swedroid, via 3 Sweden on Facebook) that HTC’s Sense-equipped alternative to the Nexus One will be rolling out ahead of the the only schedule info we had before, which slated the device for April. The Facebook message from the Swedish carrier, 3 Sweden was:

3 Sweden: We have just taken the decision to take on HTC Bravo (expected in March) and that basically is the same as mobile Nexus One.

This still could point to an April release for the States, and I really do hope to see this phone on T-Mobile. I’m sure I’ll enjoy my Nexus One for the same reasons I enjoy any stock Android install, including the ability to customize home and keyboard replacements, but I’ll take Sense over the other third-party options in a heartbeat if it’s running on a Snapgragon processor and a killer display. After all, you can’t download Sense in the Market. Something tells me I won’t be the only one with a Nexus on ebay if this thing hits Magenta. Could it happen in March?

I like the look and specs of this phone.The specs are comparable to the nexus EXCEPT the bravo has less RAM. Bravo has 300 something as opposed to 512 for the nexus.Might get the nexus for that reason. Size of RAM is huge for a smart phone.

And this is why I decided to wait and not get the Nexus One. Same specs except 320MB ROM vs 512 in the N1, and it's much smaller than the N1. Gimme.

Sence is nice. don't get me wrong. I just dont like the idea of wait 6month+ for HTC to put out an update. I'll stick with the nexus.

There is no way in the world I will be selling my Nexus One for this phone. I really like the touch buttons on the N1, and I'm all about stock Android. Sense is over rated, and waiting for custom UIs to get updated for newer versions of Android is a PITA!

I hope Sprint picks this up

Yeah.. I switched from the Hero GSM to the Nexus one.. Even though the Nexus have some cool features I really miss the Sense UI. I was even considering on getting the HD2 because of the sense UI, then I would miss the andriod platform.. soo if they make a phone just like the Nexus one with Sense I would be complete!
