Dell leak outs Smoke cigarettes, Thunder, Flash, and Lightning smartphones

by Devin Coldewey on April 21, 2010


It seems like some internal Dell materials has spilled out onto the web, but am I the only one particular who finds this things suspect? I see numerous spelling mistakes and some questionable functions. The vagueness of most of the specs as well as the extremely un-Dell phrasing of the whole lot of this things creates me feel this can be an outside contractor pitching Dell with some design and style tips. If they may be actual, I’m guessing that is a mockup team within Dell which is pitching mobile division higher-ups with their thought of wherever Dell need to be heading inside smartphone community. At any rate, you can find quite photographs, so let’s have a seem.

Lightning

If this point is genuine, it falls beneath the mystery third chassis category. Portrait slider? Guaranteed, why not? To add towards the skepticism, nevertheless, the listed specs usually do not hold the mandated minimum of 8GB of onboard storage. Could just be considered a error, but in the presentation such as this, to disregard one of several essential specs? Shameful.

Flash, Thunder, and Smoke cigarettes

Below we’ve 3 Android-based smartphones. The Flash (left) seems to be really freaky, with “curved glass” sides and Photoshop mistakes within the best in that final slide – or reflections, its so tough to notify. Its principal point will probably be considered a massive display screen and media editing on-phone. Superior luck accomplishing that with any precision employing your significant ol’ fingers.

The Thunder (center) is merely a gigantic lozenge with an even greater display screen (four.1″) which will also be employed for on-device editing and, possibly, if you are excellent, even a Hulu app. Also has that curved glass someplace about this, however drat me if I can locate it.

Do you like high phones? Like freaky high? Then the Smoke cigarettes (appropriate) is in your case. I guess they call it that as it has the exact same kind element like a cigarette. Looks just like the pounds from the display screen would allow it to be unpleasant to thumb-type on. And when the display is a couple of.8″, that suggests the entire element is about three.5″ diagonal complete. Type of little, I’d say.

My fingers are obtaining cold, so I cannot get into any far more detail.
I really do not know, guys. These just appear a small as well freaky, along with the writing a small as well tough, for them to get any type of last item in case you request me. My private vote is “not genuine,” but we’ll see how the cookie crumbles. Even now, if Dell is even tossing these concepts all-around, they deserve a glimpse, so we’re delighted to write about the info anyway. We’ll make sure you talk about any even more facts since it receives out.
