am i reading this correctly, they have just renamed a phone called bravo to desire?, that says that it is rubbish to me, why else would you have to rename a product if sales were good in the first place? it is not good business sense to rename a product after launch unless it has issues and a bad reputation, go buy an iphone instead

So without knowing a thing about the phone its your recommendation to go buy a very over priced and now out dated iphone because of a name change BEFORE launch?

Thanks for the valuable input

I started this thread when the official announcement from HTC was made about the final release name. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to edit the title of the thread or I would have done. Mind you, it's fairly obvious that you didn't bother to read any of the posts before your comments. There are a lot of posts from people who've owned both the iPhone 3g and 3gs before trying the Desire, and the majority are convinced that the Desire is superior in most departments.

the bravo name was given to the phone before it was even released, it was just a code name so it doesnt actually affect the sales, i thoguht bravo was a good name but desire is actually better
