Is that the HTC Dragon?

Big thanks to DroidDog Buzz Hound Y314K for sending me this one!

Of course, no one is sure of what this phone is just yet, so my apologies for using such a seductive, sensational, attention-grabbing title. But if it is the HTC Dragon, I think I’ve found my next phone. The photos, posted by TheUnlockr.com (for those without a monitor), are accompanied by the following explanation:

“I blacked out the photo. Where it says Welcome to …. It doesn’t say the name of the phone it has a number that I’m told is used to determine who this phone was loaned to so for obvious reasons that got blocked, not too mention wouldn’t help us figure out the phone. And then I blocked out the time, just to be extra safe our ninja can’t be traced back to.”

I guess this is how they churn out those popular killer root tools; early leaks of highly-prized handsets.

HTC-Dragon-1

HTC-Dragon-2
EDIT: Are those symbols the brand of an alien civilization or of a leaker’s undoing?
EDIT AGAIN: People with better eyes than I have see a standard Google brand.

Oh my gosh! That looks like the Nexus One! ;)

The only thing is the home and back button are swapped on the nexus one

for those of you who are saying "thats the nexus one, everyone who commented is an idiot!" we wrote those comments close to 8 months ago and thats when this was posted, understand

its a nexus 1 i spoke to the dev that posted it......

Agreeing with everyone on this one...looks too much like the Nexus One to make it believable to be a new phone. There needs to be new ground breaking design if this is truly the "Dragon".

how come you expect this as a new phone? it's the nexus one, this article was written on oct 2009

This may or may not be the Nexus One but it still looks like a good phone.

dejavui've seen this somewhere ..hmmm...where have i seen it

Cool, I bet HTC is compatible with all classifieds android yellowends

I work for T-mo.... and that is the NEXUS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These just look like pictures of a Nexus One.

Why does T-Mobile refuse to offer me an Android phone with decent specs and a physical keyboard to replace my G1 with?

Um, the chin allows you to lay the phone face down and not press the trackball. Designers do actually have reasons for things. The HTC guys seem to make fewer mistakes than most...

lmao i bet your eating your own words right about now

this is the nexus one :)

Hahaha I remember a couple months back when everybody thought this was the HTC Dragon, but now we know its the Google Nexus One (but made by HTC)

Very possible. We do know it's going to be branded Nexus One on Verizon, but it might have better specs.

this looks like the nexus one..maybe this verison is going to verizon since they say its going there but since they like to change the name of there handsets like the hero to the eris they probably changing the nexus one to the dragon?? idk just a thought

It was the nexus one. Has a snapdragon processor in it, so close to HTC Dragon

whelp at least we know that's the Nexus One. I really hope when it goes to Verizon we get a version with Sense IU...that'll be so awesome...until the iPhone arrives.

it has a touchscreen keyboard

that actually doesn't look bad but its still nowhere near as sexy as the gsm hero

You can download "Better Keyboard" for the droid its great and its really good :D if you think the default keyboard is crap. About returning the phone well its up to you if you have issues with it or the screen is getting lose and they say you cant exchange because its a normal thing, which is no the screen shouldnt wiggle i belive. Id say return it and get the Droid again in January so you can see what the update has done and have read reviews about what it also has improved other than the bugs it has. Also i heard they were gettin 3 new phone by the end of december so who knows.

I have the Droid, again, i WANT HTC sense, but the 528MHz processor will be too slow. I want to wait for the passion, but it will be out after my 30 days, for sure! WHAT CAN I DO?!?!?!?!?! HELP! The droid is great, but i wish the srcreen was wider, and the thing had a good virtual keyboard, i never use the physical keyboard b/c it sucks! HELP i dont want to be stuck with another phone that i hate for a year! I already had to do that with the LG enV, and Blackberry Storm. Thanks for your help!

I was actually deciding between waiting for the Dragon to come out or get the Droid, and Im glad that I went with the Droid cuz the design of the Dragon (if it is the Dragon) looks kind of simple for my liking.

i can see htc and google on the back

Hey, i just bought the droid on the 14th and want HTC sense but dont want the 528mhz processor. Is it going to be out soon? I have researched A LOT! and i saw that it said it was going to come out either black friday or mid-December... Will it be a Verizon phone? (i have the droid and it has the same 3g signal... and everything on the top) also the same menu button but the back and home button are switched....what i would like to know is-Price-Carrier-HTC sense or not-Release dateTHANK YOU!

it looks like the htc eris

So, when will this phone be out to VZW? The 30 days on my Imagio is running out and tho I really like HTC Sense, the WinMo port is a huge kludge compared to Android build. I would prefer to stay with HTC Sense than move to MotoDroid just to get away from WinMo, but the only option is HTC Eris which a Snapdragon phone will likely make obsolete. I guess I’ll do Droid on my Imagio’s day 29, then hope that Passion/Dragon will release before the Droid’s 30 days runs out. If not, then at least I’m not stuck with WinMo for the next two years!

TMo will never carry this handset. Move along TMo'ers, nothing to see here. First the underpowered Cliq, then the wonky Behold II, and now what ? Certainly not this.

WOW... This news just exploded out today...lol Thanks to this site & TheUnlockr... I am very glad it did... After reading around dozens of sites... My thoughts have change on this phone... First of all the 3G on it can still mean Verizon... The Droid has the same 3G on it too... http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/image.php?m=Articles.Images&f=name&id=25968&caption=&title=Image+from+%22New+images+of+the+Motorola+Droid+phone+for+Verizon%22 + the flat chin & button placement screams Verizon... And the size of the screen is under 4"... I thought it didn't look squarish enough to be a HD2 4.3" size phone... My best guess at this point would be that it is the HTC Desire headed for Verizon in late Nov. or Dec. Still just conjecturing... But man is this fun...

Might be the tmobile tap. An answer to sprints hero.

Ho-hum in terms of the way the hardware looks..where's the edgy styling of the original Hero? If that had T-mobile bands, that would be my current phone. All these touch screen only phones are starting to look the same..HTC get the people that designed the Hero and let them take it to the next level.

it's not going to sprint. it says 3g.

The Droid and Now This... So Many Decisions! Glad I'm STILL WAITING. To See Which Is the Best Phone. I wonder who will be the Carrier?...

youll probably be waiting forever like me.....first the pre....then the hero (euro), they "uglified" it a and brought it to america.i dont want it anymore,then possibly the Moment..then i was like naaah dont want it, then sholes but i dont like verison, now this...if this comes to sprint, I will...MOCK MY WORDS..BUY THIS PHONE!

Yeah I Agree. HTC Has a Good relationship with Sprint, So We'll see...
