I mean that for future releases there's nothing announced for Sprint. Oh and AT&T can't handle any more big smartphone releases. Their network can't handle it.]]>Dec 7th 2009 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 7th 2009 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/
I dunno, that Samsung Moment seems pretty badass. I've always been partial to Samsung phones. Made me almost regret getting my G1 on T-mobile 6 months ago.


And AT&T is going to feel stupid for being the last national network to get an Android phone.]]>Dec 7th 2009 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/
NEWSFLASH..Everyone doesnt love Apple and Iphones! So alas, I am still clining to my unlocked , hacked, tortured G1. I have started a countdown timer that runs out in March. If ATT doesnt have a subsidized Android device that is 3G and 800mhz or better by then (hell I woould settle for a unsubsized one direct for under $500 if it had the right frequencies), then I will be jumping ship in the order of the best offering Sprint or TMobile. I just can't see myself going back to verizon, so it's a distant 3rd, but not completely off the radar. TMobile doesnt have a deep corporate discount I can use lol.]]>Dec 7th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 7th 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 17th 2009 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 7th 2009 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/

But honestly I was hoping for something way more like the HD2
AKA - 4.3 inch touchscreen!!!
I mean this will be cool but I don't know how much faster it will be than the Cortex A8 in the Droid and the droid has a 3.7 inch touch sceen.

I don't know I was hoping for that huge lcd face when this thing is probably (assuming the news source is correct) gonna look way more like an android version of the iphone]]>Dec 7th 2009 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 7th 2009 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 7th 2009 2:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 7th 2009 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Dec 7th 2009 2:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/Insert playoff cat.]]>Dec 7th 2009 2:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/

1) PassionC
2) Passion

Maybe the PassionC stands for CDMA and the Passion is for GSM/T-Mobile.

....and then we find out it's got a 3.5 screen??
Sorry, the conversation for an Android equivalent of an HD2 starts off with 2 things (IMHO): 1.) Snapdragon 2.) 4.3 inch screen!!

Sorry, but after all this anticipation and hoopla bout the "mythical" behemoth android phone Dragon...aaand then we find out that it'll be sporting a 3.5 screen?
Just get the droid...it's 3.7 AND with a hardware keyboard (yea, it sucks...but still, it gives you an option to use one)

I'm stoked that's it's OLED screen...I'm stoked that it'll have the Snapdragon...and that it's made by the HTC genius group.

But sorry, this is NO hd2 android version. We've been waiting forever for the dragon with bated breath....I'm expecting to get blown away.
Just sayin...

Yeah, but if the keyboard sucks and you never use it, why would you want it on the phone when it makes the phone:
1. Quite a bit heavier
2. Quite a bit thicker (compared to HD2)
3. More prone to breakage (hinges)

After my experiences with properly implemented touch screens, I won't ever go back to a hardware keyboard.]]>Dec 7th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/07/htc-passion-runs-android-on-3-5-inch-oled-and-snapdragon-in-veri/

He states again that Bravo is the Dragon/Passion phone.

So if he did state awhile back that it would be called Bravo ( I don't know if he did or not) then I would believe that Bravo is indeed this phone.
