Dell Aero slips though the FCC, ready for Q2 launch

With FCC approval out of the way it looks like the Dell Aero is all set to meet the leaked Q2 launch goal. Sure, we’ve already seen a generic Dell Mini 3iX (model V02B) pass through the FCC with AT&T (Canadian Bell Mobility, Telus, Rogers) bands back in November. But today’s Mini 3iG (model [...]

Dell Aero details confirmed with new leak: 624MHz processor, handwriting support, DRM

Compared to the other crazy handsets Dell leaked today, the Aero is definitely the runt of the litter. But with a leaked Q2 AT&T release date, the Aero will be first on our doorstep. What other juicy morsels have we gathered? On the hardware side, it’s sadly a slow 624MHz Marvell [...]

Dell Streak to bump up to Android 2.1 in September

So, plenty of Dell goodies to choose from right now, but if you’re a die hard Dell-making-mobiles follower, you’ve probably been pining for the Streak (previously known as the Mini 5) for much longer than is strictly healthy. What news for you? Well, the mini tablet is apparently supposed to be getting Android 2.1 [...]

Dell Smoke slaps Android in the wild form factor you secretly wanted

Okay, so imagine a Pixi, but awesome. We think you’d end up with something closely resembling the phone that Dell’s whipping up with a codename of “Smoke,” running Android Froyo atop a 2.8-inch QVGA display (looks more like WVGA to us, but whatevs). Dell calls it a “non-conforming style,” but we just call it [...]

Dell Flash to offer Android Froyo in a ‘dramatic’ package

If Dell’s vision of a mainstream Android device for 2011 ends up materializing, we’re not sure we even need a high end anymore. Okay, that’s not true — we’ll obviously be power freaks to the bitter end — but the so-called “Flash” that we’ve just caught wind of (no relation to the Adobe product [...]

Dell Thunder explodes Android with 4.1-inch OLED screen, promises Hulu app

It’s like Dell’s making up for lost time with smartphones: while “Lightning” is the company’s answer to Windows Phone extravagance, the Dell Thunder that’s leaking out along side does up Android 2.1 with similar aplomb and a 4.1-inch WVGA OLED screen. There’s a heavily custom Dell “Stage” UI on top, which seems much different [...]

Dell Lightning: the ultimate Windows Phone 7 device leaks out

Hot damn, people. The mother of all Dell leaks just dropped into our laps, and the absolute highlight has to be the Lightning, a Windows Phone 7 portrait slider. That’s right — a portrait slider. The renders on these slides look slick as hell, but they’re no match for the spec sheet, which looks [...]
