Dell Smoke Has QWERTY Keypad, Runs Andriod Froyo

Dell's latest Android offering includes a candy bar phone called Smoke that has a 2.8-inch display and full QWERTY keyboard. Engadget got the details of Smoke, which joins the league of Thunder and Flash that are based on the Android as well. Sporting a 5 megapixel camera, Smoke supports Microsoft Exchange and has Flash 10 support. Specification details of this smartphone were leaked to Engadget.

The upcoming Dell Smoke will have 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7230 microprocessor with 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM. To add more space you can use up to 32GB microSD card. Smoke has a 2.8-inch QVGA 18-bit display that is yet to be confirmed. Running an Android Froyo, we presume this phone too will have Dell's Stage UI customizations.

The Smoke offers full QWERTY keypad and also has 5 megapixel autofocus camera with digital zoom and video recording feature.

Smoke is capable of playing H.264/MPEG-4 video and even streaming it online, thanks to the Flash 10 support. Apart from that, Smoke has an accelerometer, proximity sensor, digital compass, two microphones and support for Microsoft Sync. Wireless connectivity is taken care of by Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), Bluetooth 2.1 and AGPS.

Dell will offer Smoke in quad-band GSM and tri-band WCDMA versions. With 1170mAh battery, Smoke offers talk time of up to six hours on 3G. Let's hope this handset is not heftily priced when it comes out.
