The Bluetooth Special Interest Group has revealed HTC’s new device the “Fiesta” will be sporting an Android based OS.
The SIG page later goes on to say the “Fiesta” will be launching in Asia, Europe, and North America. No word on pricing, launch date, or features-but I think it is safe to say it will have Bluetooth technology.

Fido, a subsidiary of Rogers Communications Inc., has started to sell previous used iPhones through the loyalty and retention department. Refreshed iPhones were purchased and returned within the first 15 days of use.
Pricing for the “refreshed” iPhones is as follows:
$149 – 8GB on 3-year term
$249 – 16GB on 3-year term
Only customers on a price plan before the relaunch of the Fido brand (November 4, 2008) are able to get these “refreshed” iPhones. Also note, “refreshed” iPhones only have a 6 month warranty, not the full 12 months that new ones do.
