22 April, 2010
There's quite a storm brewing over at Dell - starting with the Dell Lightning, a killer-specced Windows Phone 7 device. A 4.1" OLED screen and 1GHz Snapdragon CPU are just a brief flash of what the Lightning has...

        Q4 2010?! I think Sony Ericsson, HTC, and etc. will announce monster phones by that time. But dang this phone looks hot.

            the size of the thing with the keyboard open will turn down a lot of potential buyers... that keyboard it not necessary at all

              How on earth are you supposed to type on that qwerty without the top part tipping backwards lol?

              Plus, 1GB Rom? WP7 must really work the memory.

                  I read a lot of comments in several sites/blogs and people seem to be exited about the portrait keyboard, but personally I think its wrong.

                  with a 5:3 WVGA screen things like browsing the web, typing emails, playing games, etc are going to be done in landscape.

                                Srbija, 22 Apr 2010Windows Mobile is the best! :)Just read that WinMo7 does not support external storage. Who are the stupids in Microsoft? They just copy all iPhone capabilities without thinking. If successful iPhone does not have external storage, multitasking & etc., it does not mean it is good for marketing. MS should copy only the good parts of iPhone and improve on its weakness.

                                        Hoping it would translate success for Dell as i-phone to apple.
