Softpedia is reporting on a new website that obviously wants the readers to think that the HTC Passion/Dragon will be coming out very soon. As much as I would like to hope that this is a sign that this phone has been announced a bit of research shows this isn’t true. After a quick look at that site and comparing the WHOIS information on that URL vs Verizon Wireless and the HTC Homepage shows that the site is obviously fake. The information does not match up and I don’t think that Verizon or HTC would use Made2Own Hosting (as seen on the HTCPassion.com WHOIS). Just See for yourself
