Updated: See BelowIt seems that everyone is trying to cash in on the smart phone sales that have been taking off ever since the iPhone launched a few years back. Dell is no different and it appears that a picture of its upcoming smart phone has been leaked.
Pictured below is what appears to be Dell's new smart phone that is clearly an all or mostly touch screen device but sadly that is about as much information that is known at this point. Dell is up for a tough fight against the Pre, iPhone, and the G1 which all have similar hardware but the difference is the software. Dell certainly has the resources to invest to produce a quality OS interface on what is probably the Android platform. Besides the specs of the phone the other big question is what carrier will be selling this phone. Or possibly Dell could sell this phone as a generic GSM phone that will work on any GSM network but those chances seem to be slim to none by looking at how carrier business models operate.
Dell is rumored to be launching this device sometime later this year and one could probably expect a lot of hype before the launch too.
Update:
It appears that another picture has leaked. According to BGR, who has a solid track record for mobile phone leaks, has posted this blurry shot up of the supposed device running Android. Dell is supposedly releasing two models in the form of a 2G and 3G device.
Touch screen is so yesteryear. I want a micro movie projector on this one and a 8.0 megapixel camera with a tinnie lense. Oh and I want 4g on it. A projection keyboard. What else. Oh a star bucks coffee maker for tall not small latteee. Pronto. Oh I dont know where this is going. Im just a dreamer. A tech guy can dream cant we.

Brewing coffee with your phone...
thought it was the pre when i opened the link
Yes to confuse you to buy one from a crap company and think that you are getting the iphone. Or think that there is an eye "I" in there somewhere that makes it as good.
Yes. The basic goal is to use the largest amount of space on the screen and the smallest possible amount of space on everything else which results in every phone looking like a big screen with a bezel. Do you want them to arbitrarily add space wasting designs just so they look different?
No, but add some uniquness to the design. Apple, Palm, HTC, LG, Samsung, etc have all demonstrated that you can make a touchscreen phone that looks nice and different. Dell's looks very plain, and reminds me a bit of HTC's Touch models.
Agreed, They should make it delli and ad polish to it. Mohahhahah. Did he just make a sausage joke?
Has to be on purpose. You can't buy a camera anymore with less than like 6MP so a clear picture should be expected. And yet we are always left squinting at a horrible pic.
Its because he didnt have the actual phone so he snap one of his friends crapy phone. (kidding) i guess its not like in the james bond movies where the spies have cameras with a 2 feet lense. You got to be more unconspitious in these meetings. Or you'll be descovered and fired. Or so we would need to think. I believe though that most of these leaks are marketing strategies to make you want it before you have it and than be willing to pay twice as what it actually is worth and be just feeling like a moron 3 months later when the price is at half or quarter of what you payed for it. Ouch. This is why I keep moving from company to company and buying crappy newest phones and got no life that I can actually afford.
If Dell can do it, I'm sure they'll do it right. Sitting here with an X50v at the moment and wondering if Dell would ever get back into the PDA or possibly the Smartphone market and wham... then I see this only minutes later.
What a coincidence...

Still have my X50v too, chugging along just fine. Not that I really have a use for it anymore though lol.
Exactly. Why do these "techy" guys always manage to bring their 0.1mp cameraphone to these shows.
