I really hope Verizon get's the HTC Passion/Dragon or whatever they are calling it these days soon. I can't take my AT&T and I-Phone 3GS any longer. I switched 6-7months ago and have regretted it. But if Verizon thinks I'm going to pop back over because of the Motorola Droid, they are highly mistaken.
I love the HTC Droid Eris, but it definitely lacks in how power hungry I am with my devices. Which is why the HTC Passion/Dragon is perfect. Anyone have any info if this is coming? If Verizon takes too long, I will deal with my poorer coverage and just order a GSM version of it when it comes out. But I would really like to switch back. I am sick of Verizon, still having so much **bleep** control over everything. Just pump out great devices and keep your network awesome and let customers do they're thing. I'm sick of Verizon making discussions for me and everyone else. Motorola Droid is not the answer all device.
We need the Droid Eris' Big brother. Verizon are you listening????
Snapdragon 1Ghz, 3.7"+ Screen, Android with Sense UI. 5+mp Camera. Touch screen only.
Anyone have any info please respond below. I can't be the only one wanting this puppy.
I have two useful articles.
One article says "Rumors have it that the new HTC Passion will be available on Verizon before the year’s end, which means there’s another smartphone option on Verizon, other than Motorola Droid or the new Blackberry Storm 2."
The other article which was posted on Dec 7th 2009 says "DigiTimes' sources also claim that HTC will announce a QWERTY-toting Android device, possibly named Espresso, at the huge Mobile World Congress event in February."
I for one am giving up on the idea of Verizon getting the Passion/Dragon/Nexus One/Bravo/Whateverthecraptheycallit. I'm hearing that the Nexus One is actually the finished product of what the Passion/Dragon was supposed to be, but now we're finding out that phone is headed to T-Mo because Verizon refused it just like they refused the iPhone way back in the day. Again, it's all hearsay about WHY it was refused by Verizon but I think it's pretty safe to assume we won't be getting this phone anytime soon.
Verizon, let me make this very clear so you know what we want. We want a phone that resembles the HTC HD2 (4.3" AMOLED capacitive touchscreen) running the latest version of Android with a 1Ghz Snapdragon processor for a subsidized price of no more than $275. If you can do that, I gaurantee you'll have AT&T iPhone fanatics jumping ship and climbing over each other to get there hands on it. And you won't even have to fight Apple over where they plan on setting up their iPhone camp in the next year anymore since they'll already have something else better than that glossy propriatary piece of [edit]. Savvy?
Now, let's make it happen.

Let me make this very clear: You don't speak for the whole Verizon Wireless community when posting. You can only speak for yourself.
Some people will like the HD2, others wont. That is all.
I just want a definitive yes or no answer from a valid source.
Is this coming to Verizon or not?
I can be patient if I know there is something to be patient for.
I want to move on and just want to know one way or the other.
Can someone at Verizon step up and answer that question please?
supitsmike,
You can't tell someone that they cannot speak for the whole verizon community. Cause now your saying he can't. When maybe he can? He wants to know, I want to know. Maybe others? Maybe everyone? You should take some of your own advice, because you can't speak for the whole community and say we are not interested in this device.
I just want to know YES or NO. I can be slightly patient. Maybe... April at the longest. If the phone is out by then. But just let me know now because by then I'll be buying a new Android device, but it won't be for Verizon. I'll just stay with AT&T and buy a overseas Android device.
Example: Yes, we are getting the device around February or March. Etc
Example: No, we decided to pass on the device and are not caring it or going to any time soon.
I just want Verizon to pump out some phones that I will actually use/want. Just want and Android with far superior hardware.
I can almost bet if the Passion/Passion Equivalent was released on Verizon. It would do 2-3x the sales of current models they've pushed out like the Omnia 2 and the Storm 2. I can seriously almost bet the sales of this device would easily be double of what both of those phones are selling right now. But here we are with no device, and they have two devices sitting on the shelf's barely moving.
Seems crazy to me.

I can tell him he can't speak for the whole community, because he said "What we want." 'We' is a drastically broad statement, and unless he's representing the three people thus far that have the desire to know if they're getting it -- then he's cannot speak for the community as a whole. He doesn't have that ability.
Mind you, the percentage of customers that very has that cruise and post on these forums is incredibly small. "We" suggest that he knows what we want. He knows what he wants.
Also for the underlined: I don't recall saying people won't be interested. In fact what I said was that some will like it, others won't.
Please when trying to post against what I'm saying that you read and comprehend everything as opposed to the thin layer of what you see.

So... Mike.
Thanks for contributing nothing to the thread once again. If you have no info or don't know anything about it? Why post. I am asking Verizon, and others if they have any information. He simply concluded that he would also like to know, because he is part of the community that wants it. These forums are small but are watched and monitored by Verizon also.
Verizon, Lets us know ASAP.

I've probably contributed more for the sake of common sense then you think.
And if he is asking that he wants to know, he should clarify. Saying "We" means he's speaking for all of us. He just can't do that.
And, if you cruised these forums enough to know -- Verizon will never confirm or deny that they will be receiving a phone prior to it's release (Unless it's listed on their website or something).
Then again it could at last minute. Who knows. However simply dodging what I said made me laugh. Thanks!

Good luck with getting any information about ANY new, rumored or even "confirmed" phone out of VzW before a few days of when it will be released. Go over to the PDA & Smartphone section and check out the "closed" 8000+ post thread for the Omnia II (if you can find it). That thread was opened in June and with all the begging and pleading that was done, no one at VzW would give out any information on it's release or even that it existed. Even though Samsung had a press release in June saying it would be a Verizon Exclusive phone.
