SmartQ has just announced two new Android 2.1-based tablets that are pretty much identical. They both sport 7-inch displays and they're being named the T7 and the T7-3G. Obviously, the T7-3G has the upper-hand on the T7 because of the integrated 3G support. Both tablets sport an LCD display with a 600 x 800 resolution, a 720MHz CPU, WiFi support, and a 4,700mAh battery. The SmartQ T7 has been announced in China and will be available for ¥1,480 ($219 USD), the T7-3G (EVDO) will be priced at ¥1,880 ($278 USD), and the T7-3G (WCDMA) will be priced at ¥1,980 ($292 USD).

According to DigiTimes, Acer has two tablets up their sleeve. There's a 7-inch and a 10-inch Android-based tablet in the works and they'll be hitting the market before the end of the year. Both of them are reportedly going to be based on an ARM CPU and will be sporting Android 2.2 "Froyo" so there'll be Flash support. This is some great news for the Android lovers out there, now we need pictures!

Well, it took Telus long enough! The Canadian carrier has just announced that the HTC Desire will be coming soon! This is great news, but it's sad to hear that it'll be launching with Android 2.1. Thankfully, they did mention that it will be upgraded to version 2.2 sometime after launch - whenever that is. The Desire will be the best Android-based smartphone that Telus will have. The smartphone features a 3.7-inch AMOLED display, a 5MP AF camera, a microSD card slot, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and anything else you should see in a smartphone - including access to the Android Market which is nearing the 100,000 app mark.

Update:Electronista has just pointed out that the HTC Desire is now up (still not to buy) on Telus' website. Sadly, the display won't be AMOLED. Because of the shortages, the Desire in Canada will have a Sony Super LCD display. Sad times.

There's a rumour going around that AT&T is extremely close to launching the Dell Streak / Mini 5 MID. This MID, of course, is going to be running Android along with a 5-inch touchscreen display. It's kind of big to use as a phone but it'll do for some people who don't talk on their phone for that long anyway - especially with AT&T's network. Apparently, the MID will be hitting the carrier in less than a week, July 19th. Of course, if you're looking for a real phone the Samsung Galaxy S or the Captivate will be hitting the carrier soon as well.

Phandroid has just mentioned that Verizon's Motorola DROID X has just been spotted at a Best Buy in the USA. Sadly, several Best Buy stores across the nation won't have the DROID X to meet the pre-ordered shipments tomorrow since there are some shortages. If you're unlucky then you'll have to wait a couple more weeks to get your own DROID X.

There's a rumour going around that when the BlackBerry 9800 launches in Canada only one carrier will get it, Rogers. In the US, it's really looking like AT&T will get it. This smartphone is sporting a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with a 360 x 480 resolution, a slide-up QWERTY keyboard, an optical trackpad, a 5MP camera, 3G / WiFi / aGPS / Bluetooth support, 4GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, and the BB OS 6.0 with the new Webkit browser. It looks like a pretty good BlackBerry, so this could be their best one yet.

Two new cheap Samsung handsets will be hitting Orange UK in the near future. This is the Samsung C3300 Champ and the Monte Slider E2550. Both handsets will be hitting the carrier on PAYG so it's cost-effective. The C3300 Champ sports a 2.4-inch QVGA display, social integration, a 1.3MP camera, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth 2.1 support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an FM radio with RDS support. The E2550 Monte Slider, on the other hand, has a 2-inch display with a 120 x 160 resolution, Bluetooth 2.1, an FM radio with RDS support, a 1.3MP camera, and a microSD card slot. The C3300 is here, while the E2550 is here (in black) and also here (in pink).

Telstra in Australia has just announced that they'll be launching HTC Wildfire, although the exact release date wasn't mentioned. The carrier did mention that the handset will be available sometime in August, but the price wasn't mentioned. Anyways, this handset packs a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, and Android 2.1 with the Sense UI. This is actually a phone I wouldn't mind seeing hit Canada...
