Dragon News, Maybe

They did a "Hands on" with the device based on 3 spy pictures released of it? Hmph.

 

That article is over a month old.

Nothing to see here people... move along.

*edit*
The last sentence in the article actually made me giggle, "...thanks to these exclusive hands-on photos the mobile community can now consider this device official."

 

Old picture for sure. No real news at all.

I sure hope that this is not the actual device though. I badly want to see this as a HD2 type phone with some hard CALL/END buttons on the bottom.

 

THAT'S IT!!! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!!!

Kidding of course. I think I would be happy if VZW came out and said no more phones until 2010. This stuff is making me nuts.

 

But that article was one of the only ones to say early 2010 which means we all need to grab a seat for a while. I'm holding my breath for this phone...lol...I check the web and this site daily now for news. I'm shocked that besides a couple of photos this phone pretty much doesn't exist... If it we're a Blackberry they'd have hands on videos already...LMAO

 

No offense to you, but these guys are crack tarded. They say they had a hands on with the Dragon, yet said it was running Android 1.6. Then it was running 2.0.
The question I think may be becoming is HTC legally bound some way from not talking about the Passion, is it far behind in development, or has HTC stopped work on the Passion to make the Google phone?

 

PASSION RUMORED TO RELEASE JAN 14TH!!!!
You heard it here first!

 

Did you just make that up?

PASSION TO BE RELEASED FEB. 25TH!!!!!!

^See I can do it too^

 

With Christmas returns expiring the day before, what better time to release Passion?
I want to believe it, therefore it must be true, right?

 

Lol, thats the day when the return policy ends. Thats where he got it from.

Also, that policy started november 15th. Droid and Eris came out on Nov 6th. So......

 

I could not find any evidence of an extended return policy for the holidays (except heresay and from last year) so I asked an in-store rep and he said no. A few days later (today), I called Verizon and was told they currently do not have an extension but may implement in December.

 

When you started the purchase procedure on vzw.com it would pop up a side bar mentioning the holiday extension. I called my local store and they confirmed it. But clearly, if your manager doesn't know about it then most customers don't either. Therefore, potentially moot issue with regard to setting passion release date.

 

Current purchases will have the WFG return period extended till Jan 13th.

 

Thanks wonderbread!
