Verzion’s new Android phone – the Passion!
So do you remember the post we did on a certain mysterious HTC Android device that we’ve never seen before?
Well after doing some research I’m 90% positive as to what this phone is…
Its the HTC Dragon! Well, sort of. It’s actually the CDMA version of the HTC Dragon that is headed to Verizon and going to be called the HTC Passion.
This would explain the similarities that people noticed about the buttons and the white notification bar from the Motorola Sholes (Droid); Verizon is trying to keep things a little similar on all their Droid devices and it’s not the HTC Desire, which is a Verizon branding of the HTC Hero (a 3.2 inch screen, which this phone definitely does not have).
You might have heard of the HTC Passion a few times so the name might ring a bell. It is the rumored handset that is supposed to be coming to Verizon in Q4 with a snapdragon processor, Android 2.0, and be the Android equivalent to the HTC HD2 (Leo).
If this is true, then you have some nice Droid choices on Verizon; Motorola Sholes (”Droid”) for those who need the keyboard
, HTC Desire for those who can live without the keyboard but like a smaller device, and the HTC Passion for those who want a huge screen and need the faster processor.
Very nice, Verizon. Very nice indeed.
Anyone got more info on HTC Passion, please do tell…
