Nokia X7 press shot emerges with AT&T branding, subsidized hopes and dreams

Is AT&T seriously gearing up to sell a subsidized Nokia smartphone once again in the US of A? Given the company's long absence from being included in any US carrier's smartphone section, it still feels more like a dream than an impending reality, but that image above is certainly hard to ignore. According to Pocketnow's sources, the first press images of the Nokia X7 are legitimate, and the AT&T branding isn't by accident. Purportedly, the Symbian^3-based phone will be hitting Ma Bell's shops as early as this month, bringing along an eight megapixel camera (with dual-flash), four speaker grilles (two of which have drivers underneath) and a ClearBlack display.

Dell Streak slips to $100 on contract at Best Buy

Discounts are raining down from the heavens these days as retailers try to offload old stock and do a bit of tidying up before rolling in the fresh batch of 2011 smartphones. Best Buy is keeping with this trend by treating its customers to a nice big saving on the AT&T-attached Dell Streak, offering it up for a mere $100 in upfront costs. The typical two-year commitment will be required from you, but that might just be worth it for this 5-inch Android slate, particularly if you load it up with the latest firmware. Pricing is the same for both the black and white versions, so if you're keen to swap a small bulge in your wallet for a large protruding tabletphone in your pocket, you know where to look.

Motorola Olympus hitting AT&T in 'December or January,' says now-deleted Facebook post

2 Tegra excited to finally take the world by storm Android smartphones? Recent losses of LG and Motorola certainly suggest that NVIDIA is finally making progress with silicon somewhere in honeycomb gingerbread or delay - and it might happen sooner or later if a message is on Facebook believing. Remember Olympus glossy black (pictured above) who fled last week? Someone in the captain's chair of one of AT & T official accounts, Facebook has responded to a question about the availability of the phone before today, matter of factly that "the Olympian Motorola expected to be available in December or January." We were ready to cast for the confusion on the part of an employee, but the post was subsequently removed without a trace, and monitoring with AT & T has created a standard "we have no information to share on devices to be" answer. The company said the announcement was made "by mistake" and we agree with them on a level at least, neither AT & T, Motorola or information to slide today.
