Apparently following in the footsteps of its Motorola Droid brethren, the Droid Incredible by HTC has just fallen down to $149.99 as well. The same "small print" comes along for the ride with this price drop as well. You'll still have to sign a new, two-year agreement and make sure you send in a mail-in rebate. But, the overall price is $50 cheaper -- does that mean something is coming to replace it?

So, the handsets that would be bringing Windows Phone 7 into the world were announced not too long ago, and out of the plethora of handsets that were uncovered, it was Dell's Venue Pro that got a few more glances. Perhaps it's because the device is a portrait slider, or that it has a beautiful touchscreen display hiding the full physical QWERTY keyboard. Whatever the reason, it's a device that plenty of people want, even if they don't want Windows Phone 7. Good news, then, as apparently Dell has every intention of launching the device in the future, with Android.
