I have been hearing a lot about the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and it could be the coolest thing to happen to an Android phone for a while. There has been a leak of a mobile handset that also runs Android OS, but we don’t have much on this.

This is the LG E720, and it appeared on a Polish site last weekend, and it has a 3.2 inch display. We believe that it has an MSM 7227 core as well as a 5 Megapixel camera.

There has been a rumor that this could be running Android 3.0 by the end of this year, if it would come out.

We’ll have more on this smartphone as it develops.

It appears that shadowing Apple and the iPhone, Dell has for some unbelievable reason manacled the new Dell Streak firmly to AT&T as if you were under the impression you could purchase the Dell Streak off contract for $549 and unlock it to use on another carrier, you are mistaken.

Apparently Dell blogger Lionel Menchaca posted a tweet to clear up any confusion over the off contract $549 device by tweeting…” Lots of folks are asking about the $549 version of #dellstreak. To be clear, it will not be unlocked. It is SIM-locked to AT&T.”

So there you have it, another smartphone shackled to AT&T’s network much like the iPhone 4, but who knows maybe in the not too distant future the Android community may come up with an Android jailbreak for the Dell Streak to set it free from the AT&T stranglehold.
