According to the specs, the Flash will come equipped with a 3.5 inch WVGA touchscreen, 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 processor, 5MP auto-focus camera with LED flash, Bluetooth, WiFi, 512MB RAM\/ROM, up to 64GB microSD storage (impressive!), and will be sporting Android 2.2 (Froyo).&nbsp; Engadget is calling this device a midrange phone (based on the processor), and by the looks of it, the Flash will be very close to stepping over the line between midrange and high-end devices.&nbsp; This device is expected to be released in early 2011 to AT&amp;T and perhaps others, and may be offered as an unlocked device (think Nexus One).<\/p>\n<p>Dell seems to be targeting a similar demographic for the Flash as they are the Thunder.&nbsp; &#8220;Creative Explorers&#8221; and &#8220;Affluent Professionals&#8221; are the kind of people that should migrate toward the Flash.&nbsp; It&#8217;s interesting that they go as far as to say that people who are &#8220;looking for a premium, cutting edge brand that&#8217;s a status symbol,&#8221; will adopt this device.&nbsp; Perhaps they&#8217;re referring to the 54% of women who would rather date men with iPhones?&nbsp; I&#8217;ll let you be the judge of that. <\/p>\n<p>For more information and pictures on the Flash, go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/dell-flash-to-offer-android-froyo-in-a-dramatic-package\/#2915849\" >here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/r.phonedog.com\/shared\/images\/2010\/4\/100484-Smoke.jpg\" alt=\"Dell Smoke\" width=\"357\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Smoke<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Smoke has been likened to a better looking Palm Pixi.&nbsp; It too will be sporting Froyo along with a 2.8-inch QVGA screen and a full QWERTY keyboard.&nbsp; The device will have the same processor as the Flash (Qualcomm MSM7230, 800MHz), along with 512MB RAM and 256MB ROM and up to 32GB microSD external storage.&nbsp; It&#8217;s also expected to come equipped with the usual Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS.<\/p>\n<p>The smoke is intended for &#8220;Strivers&#8221; and &#8220;Accomplished Productives,&#8221; which seems to mean that while they still need some of the features of the higher-end devices, they are more practical individuals who place value as an important piece of the productivity puzzle.&nbsp; The smoke differentiates itself from competing phones (Palm Pixi, BlackBerry) and is considered (by Dell, of course) to be a &#8220;Trend setting, pocketable portrait QWERTY at a price that won&#8217;t break the bank.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information and pictures on the Smoke, go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wanted\/#2915904\" >here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dJonhaCpCVKC0HaJNj99Cj8aJy0\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dJonhaCpCVKC0HaJNj99Cj8aJy0\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dJonhaCpCVKC0HaJNj99Cj8aJy0\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dJonhaCpCVKC0HaJNj99Cj8aJy0\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/phonedog_cellphoneblog\/~4\/mmbU85YoI3g\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In part one, we gave you a glimpse into two devices that are expected to be in Dell&#8217;s roadmap of mobile devices between 2010 and 2011.&nbsp;
