It looks to me like big red is placing it's bets on Android. I was really hoping Verizon would get the HD2, but if they dont get any winmo phones that can compete with this one I might have to start learning more about Android.

Isn't the Passion almost exactly like the HD2?

Internally it is, but the outside looks a lot like the cdma hero, and it is android based.

Santod where did you hear HD2 is coming to sprint? I would actually switch for that phone.

Almost, but the HD2 is WM, which I still prefer at this point.

Yes, I am actually quoting myself lol. I've been researching info on Android all evening here at work (minus the time it took to respond to 2 emergencies) and I gotta say, Android is looking pretty damn good. Still very young and already over 10,000 apps and growing exponentially! Android market place is set to overtake iTunes app selection in no time at this rate. Watching reviews of the new 1ghz Android phones shows pretty much zero lag and hearing reviewers call the phone "the fastest they have ever used" are making it look amazing. Not to mention the phone will use Flash10 for browsing without having to use a workaround like Skyfire. I may have to go to Droid for the next year and see just what Microsoft does with WM7 to compete.
