An unusual-looking Google Android phone could be headed to AT&T. That's according to the Phandroid blog, which was tipped off to the new Motorola handset by an anonymous source. The upcoming model is reportedly code-named Backflip, a name that suits the phone's unique form factor quite literally.
The Motorola Backflip reportedly will be the first Android phone to grace AT&T's network.

AT&T Now Blaming Customers for Its Problems
...
AT&T, the whiny wireless carrier, is back at it again. Fresh off whining in court about Verizon's map ads, AT&T is now whining to financial analysts about its customers. And it is warning that customers should use less of the company's all-you-can-eat data service, lest it become portion-controlled in the future.
Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets, told analysts yesterday that 3 percent of the company's customers account for 40 percent of its data usage.
"What we are seeing in the U.S. today in terms of smartphone penetration, 3G data, nobody else is seeing in the rest of the planet," de la Vega said, quoted in

Would anyone buy an unlocked Motorola Milestone (GSM version of the Droid) and activate it on AT&T?
Upgrade question?
I know when he upgrades early he will be renewing for 2 more years, which he is fine with. But I'm pretty much a cell phone junkie and have a hard time waiting for a new phone every 2 years. 😁
Any help would be great. TIA.

Dear John... or should I say dear verizon
Verizon: Are you breaking up with me?
Me: Yes Verizon I am!
Verizon: Why? Don't you love me any more?
Me: Where to start Verizon? I have been with you for a long time. And yes I will cherish the few good times we have had over the past 7 years, I just can't stand you anymore. You are always messing up my bill and charging me more than you should be.
Verizon: How can you leave me? I have the best service. My network is awesome. Haven't you seen my cool ad's on TV.? I made all of those for you!
Me: Yes Verizon you have a very sharp wit, but I am sick of you selling me poopy phones, and charging me obscene amounts for what you call the best service ever. And I feel like I have to be honest with you. Y...

Android Developers Not Happy (nice article)
As expected, the survey shows a general dissatisfaction with the platform among the developer community. Low download volumes, poor marketplace design and discovery options and the lack of an effective consumer billing system were among the complaints.
Of course, the platform presents a lot of potential for great distribution; it just needs some fixing, according to Kate Imbach, vice president of marketing at Skyhook, which supplies location technology for the iPhone. "There are just not a lot of paid apps" in the Android Marketplace and developers are...
