Looks like VZW is getting the HTC Dragon fairly soon, in the form of the HTC Passion, with the 1Ghz Snapdragon processor and an Android operating system.
4.3" screen, 5 Megapixel camera, well you know the specs.

A picture of a handset screen is sending waves of excitement and anticipation throughout the rather large community of Verizon
smartphone users. The photograph is certainly that of an HTC developed model that runs Android. The
thinking is that this is the display of the Passion/Dragon, the super spec'd device that is the Android powered version of the drool forming HTC HD2. While the latter is a
Windows Mobile 6.5 phone expected to be released in the States during the first quarter of 2010-
most likely by T-Mobile-the Passion/Dragon should keep many of the HD2's features like a 4.3 inch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and a 5MP camera. Add Android 2.0 to the mix and you should have a device in high demand. A BGR tipster tells the site that this could be launched in time to participate in Black Friday. This is based on a previous tip to BGR that either the
BlackBerry Curve2 or the HTC Dragon would be launched on Black Friday. Since the Curve2 is coming out on November 20th, that would leave the Dragon for Black Friday, and where there is a Dragon-there is Passion. The Android excitement at Verizon continues.
