Google Nexus One phone was announced earlier this year as an unlocked GSM phone you could purchase directly from Google. The problem is, that not all GSM networks use the same frequencies so you were limited to the networks you could use it on. Google has solved that problem for people who want to jump on to Rogers (and Fido!) or AT&T and they are now even shipping to Canada.

The search engine giant turned smartphone producer has released another version of their popular Nexus One that will work on both AT&T and Rogers. It will also work on Telus and Bell's 3G network, but the downside is they will have no secondary GSM network to fall back on in case you are in areas with weak 3G coverage.

US Retailer Target recently announced their smartphone based coupon program. Once you visit their website and Opt-In to the program, you will be provided with a webpage that has a list of deals and a scannable barcode coupon. 

Once you have seen where you can save some money, head to the checkout, display the barcode and the money will be deducted from your bill. 

Dell is showing off its first Smartphone, the Android-based Mini 3, at CES this week.

Confusing numbered name aside, this marks the company's first steps into the ultra competitive Smartphone landscape.

The touch screen phone will ship with a modified build of Android 1.6 and will be available to U.S. cell phone users on the AT&T network.

No word yet on when we might see the Dell Mini 3 in Canada. You could speculate that since it is on AT&T, when it does show up, it could be on any of the big 3 mobile carriers here in Canada, since they all use the same technology for their networks.
