AT&T Veer Spotted in New Color

hp veer smartphone att PocketNow is reporting that the upcoming HP/Palm Veer is not only coming to AT&T as widely suspected, but will also arrive in an interesting two-tone white and black color scheme along with its updated name of "Veer 4G", in an acknowledgement of its HSPA+ capabilities, though we will leave the debate over what actually defines "4G" to the ITU.

The diminutive device has reared its head in three official-looking promo shots, showcasing a white body with a contrasting black front bezel and buttons. It's unknown what WebOS version will power this device, as it's likely to ship with WebOS 2.1, but potentially 2.2 or even 2.3. The Veer also has the dubious distinction, as some have speculated it is possibly the final original device designed by Palm before the HP acquisition.

An AT&T network banner is clearly present on the top corner of the screen. If this is indeed the proper color for the Veer, then it will be the first WebOS device to deviate from all-black, aside from the AT&T-exclusive Pixi Plus that shipped with a standard blue battery cover.

To date, all previews of the Veer have indicated that it would be an all-black device, so this may be an exclusive AT&T color like we saw with the Centro in years past (which was interestingly also the last "Palm" device we saw offered in white).

Regardless of coloration, either an announcement or the Veer's actual launch should occur soon, as May 2nd was originally planned for the Veer launch party before being mysteriously cancelled.

Reverend - this may be something for you to consider -

Samsung's Infuse 4G coming to AT&T May 15th for $200

Samsung Infuse 4G. This 4.5-inch superphone -- the biggest Sammy has made to date -- feels surprisingly light in the hands, despite its width. That's largely thanks to its crazy-thin 8.99mm profile, along with a subtly textured backside. The Super AMOLED Plus display, which promises to be brighter than Super AMOLED as well as easier to view in direct sunlight, is simply stunning.

The handset packs a single -- not dual -- core 1.2GHz processor, but you won't notice or care how many cores it has unless you're a benchmark junkie -- the phone launches applications briskly, while the touchscreen is responsive and always precise. We noticed nary a delay as we swiped among the seven home screens and three application pages. Speaking of speed, this is AT&T's first device to promise max speeds of 21 Mbps.

That phone looks so bad-ass I don't know what to do. I am worried about 3 things:

-Samsung's track record for failing to deliver Android updates
-Battery life may be underwhelming--and no word yet on how much internal storage is available as well as how much RAM it's got (presumably 512mb)
-Screen resolution will probably be a nasty 800x480
-The usual AT&T reception/coverage concerns

Samsung, please bring this beast in LTE form to VZW ASAP!!

Pat, you cannot go wrong with this monster. It'll make your Pre Plus look like a bowl of leftover puddin' in comparison!

Pat, when you're ready to move on, think HTC and Cyanogenmod. Pure sweetness.
