Featuring the same generic, inoffensive design that has made Dell the planet’s finest shifter of technology that comes in rectangular cases, the Dell Aero is unlikely to win any design awards when we look back upon 2010 with a wry, sideways glace.
But it’s got a 3.5″ touchscreen, so immediately finds itself sitting near the top-end of today’s Android phone offerings on size alone. Here are the headline specs that accompanied the announcement:
5 MP camera lets you share your life in a snap with integration into Flickr, Facebook, Picassa, YouTube and TwitPic
Watch media come to life on the 3.5″ nHD display
Stay connected with a variety of social networking apps including Facebook that is fully integrated into your phonebook and syncs events to your calendar!
PC like web browsing experience with Flash Lite support for streaming audio and video content
Connect to 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots
Navigate using the onboard GPS system while talking hands-free
And here’s what it looks like sideways:
Hopefully we’ll soon get news of UK and European network tie-ups for the Dell Aero. As dull as it looks, we do need more in the way of quality “entry level” Android phones that can be piled high and sold low – as is Dell’s way of doing business.
Here is it standing on its end:
Read the official specs over at AT&T’s site.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
