Dell Announces Smartphone Deal with AT&T

By Dena Cassella January 6, 2010

Dell has added AT&T to the list of carriers for its new Android-based smartphones. Dell says it has established arrangements with mobile operators including the China Mobile, Claro in Brazil, and now AT&T in the states. That ought to give AT&T a confidence boost after Verizon’s slanderous coverage ads that have been airing the past few months. Although we don’t know much about Dell’s Mini 3 smartphone line-up, we do know they will be the one of the first Android-powered devices on AT&T’s network.

“Smartphones are an extension of Dell’s strategy to develop intelligent and more mobile products that meet the needs of operators and customers,” said Ron Garriques, president, Dell Communication Solutions. “The Mini 3 is a result of listening to customers and creating products that allow people to do the things they want, whenever and wherever they want to do them.”

Why? Because Apple makes great products, I'm sure it’s going to be presented exceptionally well, and I'm doubly sure I’m exactly the person it’ll be targeting. It’s not a good combination, and I worry the only thing that's going to stop me from potentially handing over $3,000 for one is for Apple not to announce it at all.
Take the exciting concept of AR and VR ...

Extreme effort to retrieve dropped smartphone leads to suspension

The Troomi phone is a Samsung Galaxy A12

If you happen to accidentally drop your phone in water, hopefully it'll be a puddle rather than a reservoir.

A government official in India recently experienced the latter, dropping his Samsung handset in the Kherkatta Dam in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh while he was trying to take a selfie at a scenic spot, the BBC reported.
