Windows Phone 7 isn’t for everyone. Maybe Android is your flavor. If you live in India, Dell has just introduced a pair of new Android phones designed specifically to be sold without a carrier subsidy. The XCD28 sports a 2.8-inch display, a 3.2 megapixel cam, 200MB of internal storage expandable with up to 16GB via microSD, and an FM radio; it sells for the equivalent of $247 without a contract.

The $382 XCD35 has a 3.5-inch capacitive display. Both devices have 3G support for India’s high-speed networks, WiFi, Bluetooth.

One of the major drawbacks of many Windows Phone 7 devices is that the operating system doesn’t offer USB tethering. However, if you own a Samsung Focus or Omnia 7, some hacks have surfaced that allow the devices to be used as a 3G modem.

Reports suggest that you’ll need to dial ##634# to get into the diagnostics menu, switch over to “Modem, Tethered Call” mode and go through a few more prompts. Then you should be able to tether your device via USB.

Ever want to turn your iPod Touch into a Pseudo iPhone? Sprint has the answer. And it’s expensive. The ZTE Peel is an iPod touch case with a built-in 3G hotspot. It costs $80, but only supports two devices at a time, and 1GB of data costs $30 per month.

For comparison, Sprint’s OverDrive with 4G service costs $50, and for $60 a month you get 5GB of data over 3G and unlimited 4G data. The other problem is that this also makes your skinny iPod touch fatter.

We’ve had cameras in our phones forever now. We typically call them camera phones. Really they are phones with a camera inside.
