[...] It’s not the only leaked HTC handset we’ve been privy to, thanks to the leaked roadmap of 2010 launches hitting the net yesterday, and up to 20 new models hidden in the leaked Android 2.1 ROM last week. Even with the Passion’s disappointing delay, it looks like HTC is still owning the Android space—game on, Moto. [Digitimes, pic via Unlockr] [...]

Dave,

Just to verify, what we had a picture of was the Passion NOT the Eris. I even verified it. BUT unfortunately, we don’t know if it is the way it will look when it is released or where it is going or anything else for that matter, everyone went verrrry silent on that phone recently (Verizon, Google or whoever put a lid on it I would assume). But that makes me think it is coming out sooner than later.
If it is going to Verizon (which I kinda still think it is) then they will wait a bit for the Droid marketting to die down before they announce the new phone (obviously they don’t/didn’t want the Passion to upstage the Droid and people to wait for it instead of jumping on the Droid when it came out like they had planned).
But again just speculation as noone can get any word on it.

PS I don’t know anyone who works in Verizon…

so that was obviously the eris not the passion you demo’d way back when… i think all the friends of friends of friends who work inside of X are full of crap. But if we’re keeping score, there are more friends of friends of friends who know someone who works for VZ that “says” the passion is coming to VZ than there are for T-mobile or any other carrier. So what does that mean? Absolutely nothing. I do like the BOGO android offer VZ is throwing out there… could it mean they are trying to max out on sales of the droid as the 30 day window expires (it supposedly runs the 4th-7th, the final days of that window) before leaking info on the next droid? lets hope its not just that nintendo looking motorola calgary POS….

RLarson,

Nice! Hey can you confirm if the pictures we have are the Passion you played with in the store. Or are you referring to the Eris not the Passion?

Just went to my local Verizon store – They had demo models (non-functioning) of the Passion and the new Droid there. I held and played with both. I decided that the Droid was just way too blocky and “backward” looking for me. What were the Moto guys thinking when they designed it? The Passion just ROCKS! I love the non-skid back-coating and it just “feels right” in your hand. I can’t wait!

I believe BGR was first to report it
