Sony Ericsson X10 & HTC Bravo (HTC Passion) launching in March

Following yet another interesting phone call with an Orange sales source, we’re expecting the mighty HTC Bravo, AKA the Passion, and the Sony Ericsson X10 to hit its shelves sometime next month…

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Android stables for a while now, particularly since more impressive devices have started rolling out, but now we feel like we’re going to be tough pushed to choose between the two giants next month.

According to the Orange official that we spoke to, both the X10 and the HTC Bravo are rumoured for release on the UK network sometime in March. Naturally, we pushed for a more specific date but couldn’t eke any more info out of our source.

The only further clarification we got was that the HTC Bravo would arrive in “late March”, which is somewhat at odds with what we had been previously told, but fits far more realistically with the originally predicted launch window of April.

We’re still waiting to get official word from HTC itself, but its remaining characteristically quiet about confirming or denying rumours. We’ll let you know if the situation changes but we’re expecting to hear more about both new handsets at MWC 2010, which takes place this month.

UPDATE
We’ve added a little teaser video of the X10 below to whet your appetite, enjoy!
