Passion/Dragon news for today

[king]

Yargh... the anticipation is killing me

Picked up an Eris during the holiday 60 day return program and I am loving it; coming from a POS Motorola Q I promise I will be happy with it for a long time...

But DAMN I want this phone! I'm in the same boat as you all, searching every day for new info... fingers crossed that it comes to VZW before Jan 13th!!

it'll be Jan. 14th, just our luck, you watch

I can't get a new phone til Dec. 23. I'm going to get an Eris. I was talking to a verizon rep about my plan how the $30 data plan would affect it. I currently have unlimited texting. I'm going to take that off and go with the 250 month text plan. I don't do that much texting anyway. That would knock my bill down to $40. I have the 450 minute nationwide plan. That plus the $30 data plan plus 20% work discount = about $61.00 for me. That is close to what I'm paying anyway.
Plus I would have to pay $150 instore for the phone and get $100 back mail in rebate.

Thats my fear. I'm hoping something comes up before close of business on Monday to make me not order 2 Eris's and wait on the Passion.

I really wish they'd give us some sort of confirmation on what hardware is coming and where. We are expected to make smart choices when it comes to buying things like this but its hard to when you buy something new and cutting edge that you're supposed to get a year or two out of, but its over shadowed by something better in a month or two. Now I know that's technology... but then people wonder why there's such a surge of people doing every trick in the book to replace the handset they just got. I think that's where Apple also has a huge edge...atleast you know they won't release something better a month after you buy the latest. I'm no Jesus Phone Fan Boy but if they were on Verizon I would seriously have to consider...

Kinda makes sense with the rumor that its goin to TMobile early jan (first 2 weeks) then could come to verizon 3rd or 4th week of jan as PassionC.
Could happean

At this point I'm not sure I care when it comes out, just so long as a date gets set and confirmed. I don't mind waiting patiently when I know how long I have to wait. The not knowing is irritating as hell though. The small rush of rumors we've had just recently does look promising though so at least I have hope that I'm not waiting/pulling hair out/trying to not kill my BB in the meantime for nothing.

 

[Rrrracer]

Agree. At least if it is announced before the end of the holiday return period (Jan 13th) then I could return my Eris and wait it out just a bit longer...

Sources have the Passion/Dragon/Bravo reaching VZW shelves in APRIL 2010, likely due to the difficulty in mating Sense UI with OS2.x.

 

[Rrrracer]

Well if that's the case then I promise to be happy with the Eris until my plan is up for renewal again... I do love this phone, and no way am I going back to the craptastic Moto Q until April

No. Sources have the Bravo reaching Tmobile shelves in April 2010. Go back to the leaked catalog and look at the pics. You're looking at a tmobile catalog unless HTC has decided to only make phones for Tmobile.

 

[kwaping]

FYI: Still no HTC info in the FCC since 10/23/2009. I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for pointing this out. I caught the same misinformation in a couple other threads on here as well. There's nothing said by any source about an April release for the Passion on Verizon. Simply loose interpretation.

What do you guys think about the new unlocked "Google phone" that Google employs received yesterday? Could it be the HTC Passion?

The Google Phone Isn’t…Unless Google Builds It

 

[SoCalMiles]

Hopefully, god I'm sick of waiting

 

[elementfire180]

tell me about it. I hate when the forums go quiet and nothing is happening. I need a little excitement in my life...soon!

 

[SoCalMiles]

Yeah I hear ya, but this phone has me on these sites to much....LOL. For something that's not even confirmed...LMAO. My post count will be a hundred on this site before I ever get my first Android set...LMAO. But its cool knowing I SHOULD have the coolest phone on the Planet soon. At least for a short...

 

[MisterMcGoo]

Yeah, too bad the googlephone is on AT&T. I hope the VZW gets an equivalent to this phone and they announce it soon so I can stop coming to this website.

 

[elementfire180]

Is this something that we can confirm for sure? And if it is, Why should AT&T get another amazing phone? Throw me a friggin bone here

Stop Coming!?! Why would you wanna do that!?! That's when all the fun starts. Problems you might run into, things you want to report, Apps/Games you want an opinion on, don't even start me on rooting...if you get this phone, you'll still be around!

It didn't sound like ATT is going to get it, more like someone thrrew an ATT sim card into an unlocked phone and it worked beautifully... I'm sure the Tmo ones worked just the same.
