Something that has been pushed to the side after the introduction of the iPad and this years MWC, this is the fact that AT&T is going to start supporting CMDA Android devices. Now being a huge fan of Android and an even bigger fan of the Nexus One and being an AT&T costumer, I was very angry when Att released no plans of carrying the Droid or Nexus One. Between the horrid service and awful phones (I do not consider the iPhone a "great" device) I was beginning to question why I was still an AT&T customer. But, with AT&T's Plans to start supporting good phone, I might just stay with them. However, the two devices (out of five) that theyhave annouced, I'm not very pleased with. These being the Moto Backfilp and the Dell Mini: The Dell Mini 5:
This device has been seen running Android 1.6 with a "unique dell skin." With Android, a powerful CPU, and its monster 5' screen, this is not just a phone but a tablet. However, in Engadget's exculsive review of the device they concluded that it fit welll in jean pockets and white near your ear. From what I can gather I think that this will be a great entry into the phone industry for dell. I hope that they will also look into making an Adamo or XPS "like" phone, but for now, I am content with a 5" Android tablet.
The Moto Backflip, a device that I am not very excited about... lame CPU and screen.
When I heard about AT&T bringing Android to its marketplace, I was expecting a phone with a snapdragon cpu and a 400 x 800 AMOLED screens, this has none of that. This reminds me of my old impression, a feature phone with no function, which is common of AT&T. Its not to say this phone isn't cool, it's innovative slider function is pretty cool, but Android is capable of sooo much more. And I hope to see this potential fulfilled with one of the remaining 3 Android phones they have yet to release, but if they don't ... goodbye AT&T.
Overview: I hope that AT&T, will deliver some kick-ass devices this summer, but for now I am not very impressed, although I am happy they have taken the first step. And I have faith that they will deliver some great devices.
