Mysterious HTC Android phone spied, might lean the way of the Dragon

In an almost perfect world, this spy shot would be of the rumored HTC Dragon, reminiscent of the HD2 with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and packing the latest version of Android / Sense UI -- in a more perfect world, this would all have been confirmed last week and in our hands today delivered via unicorn express, but that's obviously not happening. Still, there's something new and exciting about this device, but we're grasping at straws beyond the handful of pics The Unlockr managed to obtain, several more of which can found just beyond the read link.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Beautiful phone. Unfortunately, we can only imagine what this phone is, which could lead to some dangerous and disappointing ideas. I love it!

When the hell does the G1 version 2 come out?

Please be for Sprint. The Hero's screen is too small for me.

The button arrangement is exactly like on the Droid, Verizon Branding for this one?

It's a weird looking phone. Moto looking touch sensitive buttons, HTC design and hardware.
Frankenphone.

Looks great. Only one carrier I know of uses "Welcome to XXX" in their branding.

That didn't help much, all the top carriers are returned in the results... I like that lmgtfy.com though! :)

How ya dont know this... Its the HD2 but the android version. Yes this is the dragon. and its coming out for T-Mobile early next year. Phone looks ugly tho. I like the original better. Plus I rather use the WindowsPhone.
