I know, if TMob actually bumps up their speeds, an unlimited data plan on a tethered phone would meet all of my internets needs...

I'd just tether my phone when I got home :thumbsup:

There are rumors that the HTC Passion will come out in Q4 with a snapdragon processor on Verizon. Thoughts?

Seems impressive. I've been following the HTC HD2, and both seem to carry the same hardware, just the Passion will be Android 2.0, and HD2 will be WinMo6.5.

The Motorola Droid (Sholes), on Verizon, has an ARM Cortex 8 and PowerVR 530 (?) SoC, provided by TI. Same hardware as the Palm Pre, and same as the iPhone 3GS, though slightly lower GPU in comparison to the 3GS (though still a GPU that packs a punch, as it is the same generation of chip design and has all the same features).

Not sure of the capabilities of the GPU that will be found in the upcoming Snapdragon-based phones. The CPU seems great though.
The CPU speed is something people get tripped up on all the time though. A 550mhz, 600mhz ARM Cortex 8 is no slouch, it is definitely a powerful chip. There are 800mhz ARM11 chips floating around in some upcoming phones (I think a Samsung Android phone), but that's far far slower in performance. It's like a C2D versus Pentium 4. A 2ghz C2D is quite a bit faster than a 3.2ghz P4.

I'm looking forward to playing around with a Motorola Droid. It seems the hardware is the perfect combination. The form factor of the Droid just screams perfect imho, so that might tempt me to get it instead of waiting around for a Snapdragon based phone.

Yeah, I was this close to dropping Verizon and pulling the 3GS trigger, but the Droid and Passion look very tempting. I think my GF is going to buy the Droid when it comes out, I'll see if I can do a little mini-review when she gets it. I plan on waiting for the first snapdragon phone if it will be out in < 6 months.
 
I'm going to the store on the 6th, and checking out the Imagio, or the Droid.

I bet I'll be leaving with the Droid. 😀
