It looks like some internal Dell material has spilled out onto the net, but am I the only a person who finds this stuff suspect? I see lots of spelling mistakes and some questionable attributes. The vagueness of a few of the specs plus the really un-Dell phrasing of a whole lot of this stuff makes me think this is definitely an outside contractor pitching Dell with some pattern suggestions. If they’re real, I’m guessing this is often a mockup team inside Dell that’s pitching mobile division higher-ups with their notion of wherever Dell need to be heading inside the Smartphone world. At any rate, you’ll find very pictures, so let’s take a look.

If this point is real, it falls under the mystery third chassis category. Portrait slider? Sure, why not? To add to the skepticism, although, the listed specs do not have the mandated minimum of 8GB of onboard storage. Could just be a mistake, but in a presentation like this, to ignore a single on the basic specs? Shameful.
Right here we have three Android-based smart phones. The Flash (left) looks really freaky, with “curved glass” sides and Photoshop errors around the top in that last slide – or reflections, its so challenging to tell. Its key thing is going to get a big display screen and media editing on-phone. Good luck doing that with any precision using your big ol’ fingers.
The Thunder (middle) is just a gigantic lozenge with an even larger display screen (4.1″) that should also be utilized for on-device editing and, maybe, if you’re great, even a Hulu app. Also has that curved glass somewhere about it, nevertheless drat me if I can uncover it.
Do you like tall phones? Like freaky tall? Then the Smoke (right) is for you personally. I guess they call it that simply because it has the same form factor as a cigarette. Looks like the weight of the screen would make it uncomfortable to thumb-type on. And if the display screen is 2.8″, which means the complete thing is about 3.5″ diagonal total. Kind of small, I’d say.
My fingers are getting cold, so I can’t get into any more detail.
I don’t know, guys. These just seem a tiny as well freaky, and the writing a little too rough, for them for being any type of final item in the event you ask me. My individual vote is “not authentic,” but we’ll see how the cookie crumbles. Even now, if Dell is even tossing these suggestions close to, they deserve a glimpse, so we’re pleased to share the info anyway. We’ll be positive to share any further data since it gets out.
