AT&T announced the Pantech Crossover, an ultra-affordable entry-level Android handset aimed at first-time smartphone users. Running Android 2.2 with a 600MHz processor, a 3.1-inch touchscreen, and a sliding QWERTY keyboard, it wasn’t the type of phone you’d consider upgrading to from a previous Android device.
