Ah, the Dell smartphone. This device has been talked about -- though rarely seen -- for a full 30 months. First it was to run Windows Mobile, then Android. Now, we have some pictures of it, and a pretty solid list of features.We have The Boy Genius Report's ninjas to thank for this information. According to the informants, Dell's Android handset is ready for launch in the Chinese market. Here's the spec list:
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE class 12
Size: 68.6cc
103g grams weight
Dimensions: 58 x 122 x 11.7mm
Display: 3.5-inch nHD 640x360 LCD, 18-bit, 262K colors
OTA capable
Microsoft Exchange support
Google, AIM, Yahoo and MSN IM support
3 megapixel auto-focus, flash, 8x digital zoom camera with 30 frames per second video shooting mode, built in photo editor
USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
A-GPS
On-screen QWERTY keyboard, hardwriting recognition, multi-touch UI
MicroSD slot
Not a bad list of features. Too bad it only runs EDGE data, but 3G is still being deployed by Chinese network operators.
Either way, don't expect to see this device in the U.S. any time soon. Dell was shot down by U.S. network operators when it shopped its smartphone around. According to reports, the Dell-branded device was "too dull."
