Here's the press release:
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=23417&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=35477&mapcode=consumer|mobile-devices
What I found interesting is that the cyan will be offered but not the gray! The cyan must be an AT&T exclusive. I guess the gray will not be offered here in the U.S. unless the rumored Verizon Lumia 922 gets offered with that color.
Cyan was my first color choice, and I'm glad to know I'll be able to get it. My wife wanted the gray so she'll have to pick another color (maybe the white?).
I'm pretty pumped about this also. I'll finally be switching over my last line (girlfriends) from Tmobile now. lol! I was thinking of grabbing her the 820 just because it's a little smaller for her hands and pretty much has the same features of the 820.
The only thing I'm wondering now is how they're going to handle folks that wasted an upgrade to get the Lumia 900. I'm going to raise some havoc with all the devices I've purchased in just a year of coming back to ATT.
the carrier logo is ugly, really ugly...

I just noticed that. So much for the rumor that Nokia was going to prohibit carrier branding on the phones.
I don't get why Nokia and Microsoft thinks this is good for a brand new platform that's trying to attract people, I really don't....

You mean, only releasing it on ATT? Or releasing a successor to the Lumia 900 so close to the release of the 920?
If it's the first, from what I understand is lack of carriers confidence in WP..which is understandable because in 2 yrs, it's barely made a dent in overall users. That's the main reason I think they need to offer some kind of upgrade for existing users to get WP8 moving and continue an aggressive marketing strategy.
well that's it windows 8 dead out of the gate. Why do exclusivity again when that didn't help them much last time? That's the phone most ppl wanted if they were going to go to windows 8.

Yeah, the carrier exclusivity does suck as the Lumia is kind of the only thing getting non WP users excited about coming to WP. And I stand corrected that it may be due to carrier as I also read an article saying that ATT HAD to be the exclusive carrier or else....so in a way it's still a carrier thing as I'm sure Nokia would like to dump this bad boy on EVERY carrier with the position their in.

Engadget found the FCC filing: no at&t 3G.
That's a big FAIL on google's part. What's the point of selling the phone unlocked if you can only use it with one carrier?
FAIL!

Could this be the first at&t android device?
http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/16/motorola-backflip-enzo-bringing-android-contortions-to-atandt/
Mmmmhhh. Plenty of rumors today that Google will shortly release an unlocked android phone (HTC hardware).
Apparently, employees received the phone at a Friday event.
Might even come with at&t AND US t-mobile 3G (so quad-band 3G?).
http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/google-employees-given-htc-made-google-phones/
http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009/12/android-dogfood-diet-for-holidays.html
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/12/google-phone-unlocked-confirmed/
Last night, we started seeing some Tweets from Google employees and others about a new Android-powered Google phone that was apparently handed out at an “all hands” meeting. Now Google is confirming that it is indeed “dogfood” testing a new Android device with employees around the world.
But this isn’t just another Android phone. Very trustworthy sources who have seen the phone say that it is the Google Phone we first wrote about last month (despite the uninformed saying we were dreaming). It will be branded Google and sold by Google as an unlocked phone, which could change everything. As we wrote in our original post:
Google is building their own branded phone that they’ll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone be available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010. The phone will be produced by a major phone manufacturer but will only have Google branding (Microsoft did the same thing with their first Zunes, which were built by Toshiba).
There won’t be any negotiation or compromise over the phone’s design of features – Google is dictating every last piece of it. No splintering of the Android OS that makes some applications unusable. Like the iPhone for Apple, this phone will be Google’s pure vision of what a phone should be.
The phone itself is being built by HTC, with a lot of input from Google. It seems to be a tailored version of the HTC Passion or the related HD2 (Unlocker scored some leaked picturesback in October which are of the same phone).
Here are the details we know so far about the phone: It will be called the Google Phone and will launch in early January, 2010. It won’t be sold by any one carrier, but instead will be an unlocked GSM phone. In the U.S., that means T-Mobile and possibly AT&T, whose exclusivity deal with the iPhone is about to run out. It will be running Android 2.1
The phone is “really, really fast,” says someone who has seen one in action. It runs on a Snapdragon chip, has a super high-resolution OLED touchscreen, is thinner than the iPhone, has no keyboard, and two mics. The mic on the back of the phone helps eliminate background noise, and it also has a “weirdly” large camera for a phone. And if you don’t like the touchscreen keyboard, a voice-to-text feature is supposed to let you dictate emails and notes by speaking directly into the phone.

Same phone just different versions. I'm guessing Bravo will remain the htc version/name which will prolly be released in europe in april while nexus might be google's name and maybe passion will be what some carriers might call it. Seems like it'll be for Tmobile's 3g so it will work on At&t's Edge at least (maybe 3g too if they added the frequency); which does make sense since the first android phone was produced by htc and went to tmobile. If these rumors come to fruition, tmobile will finally have a phone to brag about. I'm sure everything will be clear by CES the latest (though I wouldn't be suprised if they'd make an announcement before the end of the year.)
i wonder where all the hype comes from.
we already had a device which was made by htc based on googles requirements. it was called tmobile G1.
So this is nothing more than a successor for me. Also i wonder what stuff like "this time google is responsible for the whole user experience" means.
Android is from Google, and as far as i know they did it on themselves since day 1. Nobody told them what to do. So how much more "own google experience" can the new device be, compared to the other "with Google" devices which also were based on Googles own Android?!
Well maybe HTC will provide some kind of google sense ui to make the user interface prettier.
But as it stands now i would prefer a HTC device like the HTC Bravo with HTC Sense to any google only device. If Google manages to overhaul the UI on some apps like the contact app, this might change of course. But i'm not sure if google can pull that off, HTC has some more years experience in this regard.

I really hope that it has Sense UI. Google has to be able to realize that HTC's take on their home screens is much better than the original design.
Nexus One is very cool. It comes with a 5MP camera with flash. I'm loving it so far.

lol... ya gotta love it.
In fairness, we have an Android Army of phones on a lot of carriers going up against the Iphone. Still, Jobs has a bellyache and is soiling his drawers.
**yawn**
Sooner or later, this was going to happen because ultimately "open" wins
Steve Jobs would be pretty pissed
and this is in the US only... Worldwide its surely a much bigger margin.
the one phone one provider isn't an argument because Apple and Steve choose this path so fair or not if the loss it's becuase the didn't play the game right.
What is unfair is the fact we have 3 major top of the line devices right now (driod, nexus, incred) and they have to release the iphone4 in a few months. If we hold a lead that month then the world is on its head and we are slaying the dragon. Lets hope the Evo puts a nail in that coffin!!!
Yeah, only the beginnig ...see asian market!.. but China only, should be enough to tripple this, as they start producing really low prized Android devices.
It just means that apples going to try and add more features than they originally planned to the new iphone. Will probably just take some elements from android and polish them.
I mean.. just look at that green bar there, Look how it climbs???
Up your ass Steve...

Nothing deceptive or fanboyish about it at all. Android outsold Apple's iPhone. It's Apples fault for releasing the iPhone on only one network and offering pretty much the same phone for the last 2-3 years. People are bored with the iPhone and it's UI. Time to move on.

Hehe, sorry but I had to laugh
I knew Android was on the move & great to read the articles
1. Do keep in mind this time of year the Iphone rumors are in full tilt , many are holding off waiting for the "next" iphone.
2. Theres nothing "skewed" about it. ATT or one unit is not an excuse. Its what Apple has decided to do. Sure if iphone was avilable on VZ it may be a different story...but if Nexus One was subsidized and sold in stores itd be another story. Google and Apple have made there decisions these are the results. Theres no would or could....only is.
3. Incredible/Evo/N1+MTSide vs Iphone 4g.
Current and next quarter is what will count. It will be interesting to see if Iphone goes to VZ just how much advertising theyll put in between the incredible or iphone.
Doesnt matter what Iphone does the drones will buy it up.Theres enough uneducated sheep out there that still think iphone OS is the best so if it goes to VZ thatll be a monumental seller. I still think ATT got the ipad becuase VZ was getting the Iphone 4g as well.
Great news for Android but BB is darn impressive considering the ridiculous lack of good hardware. BB communications and "business" features are still killers. Android and Iphone just arent taking it serious enough. BB users would jump in a heartbeat if there email/txt/IM were as reliable and easy on either platform. BB users are much smarter than Iphone users IMO they want substance that isnt offered elsewhere.
Sprint/VZ and lazy Google would serve themselves well pumping out ad campaigns for there new phones. VZ ad campaign alone was the force behind the massive jump. Imagne if Sprint/Google would match that tv ad money.
Yep, don't count your chickens yet guys....
People who bought an iPhone about 6 months ago will need to buy another soon as they can't change their battery!!

I disagree. I think it say the opposite: The iPad going to ATT just shows that Apple and ATT are still partners and that nothing has changed.
There will be no Verizon iPhone. Not this year anyway.
i got a feeling t-mobile and htc aren't that serious about this phone. but since im still withing my 14 day, im gonna cancel my 2year contract, dust off my trusty g1 and go pre-paid while i wait and see how this goes. on a sidenote. i think its sad that t-mobile, who brought out the first android phone that started the whole frenzy of bringing iphone and RIM to their knees does not embrace their android devices. especially since they brought out a successor, it was just another phone to them i guess. i mean in comparison to apples iphone and att, and motorolas droid line-up and verizon, sprint and their evo. t-mobile and..... and.... wtf???

We're just messing with you. If you're really unsatisfied with the G2 and seeing how you really like the other phones with other carriers why not get an HD2? Off-contract of course through craigslist. You can put just about any build into it. They're dirt cheap, like $200. Until t-mobile releases more to your liking.

I still like my G1, but now my son is enjoying it with CM 6.1
I'm not sure why so many are frustrated with the G2. I'm really loving it!
To each their own. I was happy to have been part of Android since it's beginning. But Verizon really marketed the Android phone, which would save T-Mobile a lot of marketing expenses to help familiarize people with the brand. Still, T-Mobile needs more advertising for this phone and not those dumb ads aimed at Moms.
I feel insulted.
T-Mobile should have reclaimed the G2 as a successer to the orignal with better hardware (dual core, and FF camera) and features to solidify their place as the Android King, because Verizon is stealing it.
Even though I think Android will peak by the next 2 iterations, it's downhill from there. If T-Mobile doesn't make it's position known as the king of the OS, then it's going to be downhill for them.
Next iteration of phone MUST implement the dual core processsor and more features to make this a top of the line phone. I don't want a phone that runs slower (stock G2) than an already released phone like the Galaxy S.
Step it up T-Mobile, this is my warning to you if you want to stay alive after Q1 FY11. Operations over there must be changing their target audience to Moms. Not good my friend T-Mobile... not good. Unfortunately their smartphone audience that is keeping them afloat are Android lovers and devs and the ability for us to grandfather data plans.
Be the first to release the dual core processor phone, with a projector, and front facing camera. Be the first!!! Be the first to come out with something spectaculary new, and you wont need to worry about marketing as much.
Then you can let Verizon market it for you by releasing a phone of their own with similar features. Once they set their prices, with your limited budget, you will advertise your phone with those features for less money.
Then you'll be all set. Thanks T-Mo and thanks OP for letting me ramble in your thread.
I loved the G1... the hinges made it pretty awesome and unique in my opinion. The keyboard was also pretty awesome... I go through hundreds of SMS a day and it made is so comfortable.
Still getting used to the G2... I like it so far except for the lack of FFC and weak hinges but hey what can I do about that.

I really like most Android Phones but disagree the G2 is the best Android Phone. I just dropped VZW for T-Mobile. My Droid X was just as nice if not better than the G2. I picked up the HD2 but now miss Android. So I am thinking about doing the G2 or MT 4G.
In the end he has his opinion but when it comes to prepaid the 3G coverage drops to a smaller area in my area.
As for the G1 I wasn't a big fan of the phone and the G2 is a far superior look and operating phone.
Is their a good site to follow Opus One updates on?
Do we know if the Opus One will support T-Mobile too or just ATT?
Has a new release date been set? Last I heard was May and we are now past that.

That is not anything new to report. That was posted months ago.
looking forward to this release.
Interesting is, that it have Honeycomb. So Honeycomb should be ok for 5 inch tablets. When I saw pictures DJ_Steve posted everything was looking so small...

Sooo, I guess Opus is officially deceased, expired, passed away, went to be with the cyberlord, crossed over, was "called home"?

Does the current Streak Status in the United States mean we are officially cut off from any further upgrades or hopes of additional upgrades/new streaks while other countries will continue receiving such new updates, etc? GEE,THANKS DELL, for slapping us in the face right here on your own home turf

Do other countries receive such updates? I tend to doubt that. If a company won't do it for the US, they don't usually give a crap about anyone else in other countries either, sadly.

I guess that's why the Streak 10 has only been released in the US?
That is certainly a UScentric view. I'll think about while I watch the sun orbit the earth.
Perhaps the earth orbits him too
Thinking that the streak 5 will stop recieving support simply because it's discontinued in the US is plain up stupid.
It's still supported in the european markets and it was launched there BEFORE it launched in the US. If anything the US is was always the minor market and it was with the way dell launched it here and with At&t. Rogers up north wasnt that much better and was basically mirroring at&t with support.
Retail/unbranded streaks have ALWAYS recieved updates the fastest and most frequently and as retail it doesnt matter where it was purchased it will continue being able to run retail roms.
Excluding the retail streaks, the asian markets (japan and korea) recieve the greatest number of updates anyway, and that's where GB is most likely to land first if it doesnt land on retail first.
Hey Guys.....
I just read on Forbes' website that HP has officially discontinued ALL WebOS programs / devices..... according to the article, this specifically includes ALL tablets and smartphones.....
IMHO, Dell would be short-sighted now to discontinue future tablet & smartphone development...... But unfortunately I'm never invited to their shareholder meetings LOL

All Dell phones in US are I believe EOL. I believe the current offering was just to test the waters. My best guess is give it a year or so and they will be back.. Companies are beginning to get it now...with the fall of webos, it is no big trick to come out with just another phone or tablet... it is now time for innovation and probably enterprise security to android.
Now I'm really pissed.... Just last night, I read on 3 "credible" websites that HP would begin offering their 16GB Touchpad at BestBuy & WalMart for $99 (32GB for $149).... I've been to 3 BestBuy stores today and they all told me their remaining TouchPad inventory was shipped back to HP..... I dare not go to a Walmart store and hear the same story for fear of having a meltdown right there at the service counter.... You know what, with these kind of shenanigans, HP deserves to fail!! .... .. There, I feel much better now

I don't live in the US, but I did for 37 years. I have noticed that mobile hardware makers do tend to be UScentric to an extent. I'm not saying it's categorically true in every instance.
Nokia's latest releases are the antithesis to this, for example.

Marvin, what was Dell's recent release that was only overseas and not U.S.? I am confused in thinking it was the streak 10. But I was totally mistaken..wow.
He's being sarcastic,
the s10 currently has no release schedule in the US or anywhere but china right now (which has been out in china for a couple weeks now)

The US launch and lack of advertisment is a very sore spot. Maybe that is why they gave up on the US. Since Dell chose to make the US second fiddle our press paned the device. It was not released on time and was released with what the US press considered outdated software.
In a country that likes to be first in everything of course that will generate some poor feelings. Plus, Apple is strongest here. If you can do it to Apple's level (advertisement, product delivery, innovation) then you might as well pack up and go home, unless it's cheap and the Streak 5 was not cheep.
I think the US just was to hard for them to support.
My hope is that the next Gen Streak will be released here first with full disclosure and advertisement. I think the Streak 5 would have done very well if it had been fully supported here in the states. People are still asking me what it is and where they can get one. Now I have to sadly tell them they can't.
I've cut ties with Dell until they can show drastic signs of taking their devices seriously. I picked up an Atrix the other day when they were free at best buy (I told my wife-to-be to use her upgrade on it, she said she was fine with her current phone but I could have it...what a catch!), and it's amazing how much more refined of a device it is (excluding motoblur, but I never booted into the stock rom so I didn't have to deal with that). I will always miss the 5" screen though. Luckily Samsung is starting to make bigger and bigger screens on their phones.
The only thing that saved the Streak was the great communities on xda, modaco, and pocketables...Dell, sadly, shot themselves in the foot with how they handled the streak and I am done with them.
What do you guys think? Can't post any links yet, but it's on engadget.
yep,i saw the news..
unbelievable!
but i really like looking forward for the cooperation of this two giant!
and i believe a new day has come!
For Android and it's partners it can only be good news, anything that strengthens the ecosystem will be welcomed.
i think nobody saw that coming... most expensive patents ever!
So my guess is the Nexus Prime will be manufactured by non other than Motorola

I'm hoping they make several different Nexus-esque phones. Some would be the high end models that we would all drool over, then they could also make some vanilla phones that are mid or low end. Imagine having several different top of the line Nexus phones to choose from.. it makes me drool.
Google to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5B

it's also here Google to buy Motorola Mobility for $12.5B http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20092362-94/google-to-buy-motorola-mobility-for-$12.5b/
Seems like the next NEXUS phone is going to be a Motorola Nexus
that might actually be a good thing for Motorola owners, which had horrible to no support for software upgrades with each phone they buy
you are lucky to get a new firmware if ever, in the past.
So after Google taking over, i can see a lot more frequent upgrades for all future handsets, and unlocked bootloader

Technically, they're buying the Mobile arm of Motorola, Not Motorola per se. Motorola Mobility.
Technically, there is no Motorola "per se."
Motorola split into two independent companies several years ago, Motorola Solutions and Motorola Mobility.
I guess my next phone will be a Motorola nexus. I think its actually great news. Will miss the Samsung exclusive super amoled screen, but Motorola makes some awesome hardware. Maybe now we can be rid of motoblur, get some codecs integrated, etc. I wonder how long it will take for them to design and release a new phone? I'd be surprised if they get anything out by Xmas time.

Well they need an icecream sandwich phone which is ment to be out by the end of the year.

I cannot believe it...wow wow wow
I dont think the next Nexus will be a Moto Nexus - it takes time to build a new phone. Maybe the next one after N3.
I hope HTC/Samsung/LG dont feel overlooked and everything in the Android ecosystems stays in balance. I don't like the idea of competition between manufactors and GoogMoto.
Excellent! Hopefully Google will axe MotoBlur (or whatever they call it these days) and we can start seeing motorola hardware with stock android.
If the next nexus is by moto, I'll be skipping that iteration. Moto hasn't made a decent handset since the v710 or e815. Poor Google.

Good, Motorola won't be the exclusive Nexus producer.

i think this is a good thing. first, it gives google some patent strength which they need to keep doing what they are doing with android. they did say that nothing will really change, as far as, motorola mobility is not going to become 'part' of google but will be a separate business and will license android just like everyone else, just owned by google.
but yes of course it lends an intimacy which will in turn strengthen moto handsets and hopefully push all hardware manufacturers to have to keep in step. and yes hopefully that means more stock android devices all around! i dont htink it would be in anyones best interest if goog shows favoritism to moto though, so hopefully they will not. in the end, whatever is good for android will be good for all of us
Lets not get ahead of ourselves... I'm sure a transaction of this size will require regulatory approval from the U.S. and EU... and you can BET that the anti-Android crowd will try to intervene, a la Sprint w.r.t. the T-mobile acquisition.
I'm confident it'll go through, but it's not a done deal yet.

It's pretty much a done deal. Not one reason it wouldn't go through
