This phone is smaller than the Cliq, with only a 3.1-inch, 320x480 resolution, a 528MHz Qualcomm proc, and 512MB of ROM and 256MB of RAM. It'll bring the expected array of connections (Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth), along with the same Blur brand of Android initiated by the Cliq, but those specs are pretty standard—downright unimpressive, really. The only interesting part is the unusual keyboard, which flips out backwards so the keyboard is exposed even when the handset is closed. That keyboard, by the way, is a full QWERTY with what appears to be an optical trackpad.

AT&T is the last of the major carriers to bring an Android phone to market, and if this is indeed their first one, we've got to admit to being puzzled. Each of the other carriers' first Android phones were the top of the line at the time (G1 on T-Mobile, HTC Hero on Sprint, and Droid on Verizon), so we're really wondering why AT&T would launch Android with such a, well, lackluster-looking device. Of course, this is all total speculation, so we'll reserve judgment, but it's definitely something to ponder. [Phandroid via Electronista]

The degrees of separation go thusly:

The xten chair is the spawn of Pininfarina, an Italian design firm. Pininfarina designs many things, like cell phones and alarm clocks, but chief among them is the ultra-rare Ferrari Enzo. Eriksson is probably best known for wrecking his Enzo on a highway, sawing it in half, and walking away relatively OK so he could continue to make shitty portable gaming devices. And scene.

We have no idea whether or not Eriksson has an xten in his office, but if he does, we're certain its days, like Gizmondo's, are numbered.

Be careful with the Turbo Boost button, you wouldn't want to crash that Enzo at high speed, now, would you? Available now for about $25 each. [Strapya World via Technabob]

The authorities believe Trevor Michael Karney, the true identity of the fictitious Dietrich, hid in Ireland for a time after the famous crash, then snuck back in to the United States via Mexico. He was arrested today and charged with drunk driving, resisting arrest, lying to a police officer (about his involvement in the ordeal) and, potentially, violating federal immigration code. Some people never learn. [LA Times]

Since we can't answer that question, we can ask ourselves why he had "representatives" from "Homeland Security" aka some bus drivers from San Gabriel Valley who came to pick him up after the crash, to no avail. Finally, who the hell is Dietrich? And, finally, how the hell does an international convicted felon get two Enzos and a MacLaren SLR and most of us can barely afford a used Caprice Classic?

He is charged with bringing two Enzos and a Mercedes McLaren SLR — altogether worth an estimated $3.8 million — into the United States even though he allegedly did not have permission from the British banks that provided them on "lease purchase" agreements.

Defense attorney Paul Takakjian argued that Eriksson stopped paying because his business collapsed.

Eriksson survived the crash, but the Enzo, one of 399 made, didn't fare very well. Apparently Eriksson was a passenger in the vehicle and that the real driver, a German, fled the scene.
