We mentioned that the Verizon HTC Passion (Dragon) release date could possibly by sometime mid December and would love to know if this is true or not, we have tried digging to see when the exact release date will be and have found nothing.

BGR has a screenshot of the HTC Sense UI-looking clock/weather widget looks like Android, the new mobile smartphone has a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen, Android 2.0 OS and a 5-megapixel camera which makes this phone pretty good on the specs front, but we want to know more about the release date, the official one at that.

The BGR photo could be from any phone how do we really know that it is the HTC Passion (Dragon), Mid-December seems like a date we can all standby but until we here at phonesreview.co.uk receives official confirmation about the release date we will keep an open mind for a 2010 release.

If anyone out there can email us on mark@phonesreview.co.uk and shed a little light on the official release date we would be very happy indeed, if you know anymore about this handset as well that would be very much appreciated.
