Dell throws down the Sprint EV-DO love
Hooo boy, there's nothing we love more than faster internet access available everywhere we go. Dell's just announced a new deal with Sprint to provide integrated EV-DO access on its D420, D620 (pictured), D820, XPS M1210 and M65 lappies. (Of course, Dell has offered EV-DO and HSDPA on the D620 and D820 previously, but this brings it to a few more models.) Alternatively, you can buy a Dell Wireless 5700-S internal mini-card for your existing lappie for $180 (whether Dell will also offer an ExpressCard version for Sprint remains to be seen) -- but in either case, you'll have to pay $60 per month for a two-year unlimited data access contract (if you have a voice plan, otherwise it's $80 a month). This'll give us yet another reason to consider forking over the coinage for serious connectivity; that EDGE stuff is getting real old.
Dell brings two new XPS models to the US
No surprises here, but Dell is getting their new XPS 700 desktops and XPS M1210 laptops out to their US customers after a couple of early releases overseas. Nothing more to see in specs land, but a few highlights are the 256MB GeForce Go 7400, 4GB of RAM and built-in camera that you can configure the 12.1-inch WXGA M1210 with (which has a pretty reasonable base configuration going for $1300) and those NVIDIA Quad SLI and PhysX cards you can get squeezed into the XPS 700.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]Read - XPS M1210Read - XPS 700
