It is funny, but the situation is not like World War II now. If it really want to have war then US should pull out is investment first.

      Well if Dell want to launch a new device for selling in the world´s largest dictatorship they are very welcome. When the US eventually goes to war with China in the next 20-30 years this decision might be regarded as surprising. Mind you many traded with Germany in the early 1930s also.

        People... First, try to appreciate the bold approach dell's made during the time of recession when no one's got money to but an iphone..
        1. Iphone is manufactured in china too
        2. Samsung, LG and Nokia have a similar design..
        3. Dell is a company whom you can rely on..
        4. If Dell has launched this, surely there is something different.
        5. If you dont like it, dont buy it... atleast stop critising the efforts of a company like Dell... They wont invest unless they feel its important.... Its not a joke to invest in something and getting no benefit out of it...

              Good, stay away from Apple. All we need now and for the next 5 years at least for the phone are : Able to call out, and able to received call, and not to forget sending/ receiving text message. Those are important. Others like Wifi may or may not necessary have and even 3G compatibility. Imagine the WIFI speed in other country, is it reliable, is it fast enough, in the end 3G is just becoming a LABEL, and not used at all. The newtork is not supporting and the bandwith is not fast enough. How can you browse internet in a small screen ?. Get a Laptop if you browse. The NAME "Smart phone" is for Phone majority and put extra fuctions #2. and not the other way around. GOOD JOB DELL.

                        This looks a complete copy of HTC MAGIC and APPLE iPHONE. They have probably modified teh back cover, else it is complete xerox and no new fun.

                          dont know what the big deal about the iphone...my gf is on her 3rd 3g in a yea...itz jus to buggy. people dont need to base their phones and design off the iphone. only flashy people who have to make a point want that peice of junk with apple... i have a g1 one and it fits me perfect. its kinda like why men need to get a small sports car cuz theyre lacking something else. dell... do better with the specs and just do your own thing...stay far away from apple as possibleI

                                  lol... dell doesn't make these phones.. CECT does! look at philips phones, they the same thing. all recent philips phones are dual sim with touch screen with shortcuts on the botom of the screen. almost all china phones are like that (even clones like iphone or n95).

                                  dell and philips just made sure that the quality of the product is ok, and branded the phone with DELL and Philips logos.
