lols.

Nice. I don't really see a big difference between the 4 models but its great to see some new competition.
I'm not a big fan of slide down keyboards... I much prefer the typical side qwerty as opposed to new inventions.

I'll check the specs on these dudes a little later.

But if you asking me... I'm so saving up my cash for a Nokia C6

The phone looks almost identical to my 5800, but the added bonus of a 5mpx camera, 240mb internal memory , 128RAM and in general all the goodies from a N97 in a nice cheap C6.

can't wait till its released.

but sticking to smartphones... My favorite cellphone shop has just lowered the price of its N900's but a nice $90, so if I wait one extra month and work a little overtime I could have the full blown N900.

Phones are getting too complicated for me. What happened to when phones were made for just calling other people?

Sure SOME things are nice, like texting once in a while, but I think all these features are unnecessary.

If I had to choose one, it would be that Flash one, or maybe the Thunder.
The other ones, expecially the Lightning look like they have been overloaded with too many features and have no room for the keyboard/numpad, even though it looks like you can access it from a touch screen.

I really want them to team up with Sprint so that I can use a dell phone. I'm tired of having all these cool phones but they aren't with Sprint.

I am glad to see that other companies are pushing phones out. More options...

When are they expected to hit the market?

I couldn't find any info on that. It only says that it will hit the UK sometime this year.

If priced competitively, they will be a huge hit IMO.

I hope they will be around 100-150 bucks.

The way smart phones usually price for, I'm assuming 200-300 at the least.

If its 100-150, its pretty cheap.

If Dell wants to make the sells they would make it lower then the other companies. To me I would try to make it 50 to 100 bucks cheaper then Apple. It is going to be one heck of a ride to see what Dell has to offer with these phones.
