Rumors rumors rumors
It's still a rumor right now. Only the leaked photos everyone has seen are the only link that the Passion MAY exist. The HTC Passion/Dragon hasn't showed up in any Verizon database or passed any FCC tests (Unless HTC sneaked it thru somehow).
The RUMORS about the Passion are that it will have a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor, Android 2.0, HTC Sense UI (Like the Eris), have a larger screen than the Eris (or other Hero's), its coming to Verizon either Black Friday or Mid December, and it may be GSM not CDMA (which would mean no Verizon).
ALL OF THESE ARE RUMORS. Nothing firm, just talk. Only the photos of an unnamed phone with the provider and the name blanked out are the only tangible evidence the Passion/Dragon MAY exist.
All that being said..... I'm waiting on the HTC Passion! That's right, with the odds against me, and my Android fever at an unbelievable high (I've picked out about 90 apps from AndroLib.com that I want and I've never owned an Android phone), I'm waiting on a currently vaporware phone. WHY? Because if the rumors are true, this phone will ROCK!

For comparison for your question:
The Eris has a 528Mhz CPU, Android 1.5, HTC Sense UI. They may upgrade the Eris to Android 2.0, but the 528Mhz CPU may not handle the more complex OS like the 1Ghz Snapdragon should.
