BlackBerry Torch now in red and white at AT&T stores

Posted in BlackBerry by Conner Flynn on November 7th, 2010

Just a day before Windows Phone 7 hits its stores, AT&T is announcing a pair of new BlackBerry Torch SKUs. These are just basic repaints called Sunset Red and Pure White. The Pure White includes a white keyboard but fails to be pure as it still has a dark optical pad.

Pricing is $499 or $99 if you can commit to a two-year contract. Both colors look pretty respectable. And you can always go for the regular version if these don’t do it for you.

Posted in Dell by Conner Flynn on August 24th, 2010

Dell has been talking up the world’s lightest Android phone since way back in March, and today it officially arrives for $100 with a 2-year AT&T contract. Complete with a dated operating system that is over a year behind. (Android 1.5) And to make matters worse there’s no word on when—or if—we can expect a Froyo update.

That wouldn’t be so sad, except that otherwise its a decent phone. Some features include a 5MP camera with 8x zoom, up to 32GB microSD memory, and a 624Mhz processor on a $100 phone.
