Dell, to beat iphone, all you need is minimalistic design like the outrageously nicely designed Dell E4200 that I am highly anticipating. The phone should be the following (do not compromise the list or else face failure):
1. 4.3" capacitive touch screen with extremely little border/bezel/frame (whatever you call it), width, and especially height (beats iphone).
2. With that screen size, it's perfect for GPS, so add GPS, look at all the current 4.3" touchscreen GPS, which is getting really pocketable!
3. Thin, and light, but can sacrifice some for good battery, and to pack all the other essentials behind the display.
4. Android OS, this is the only OS that can truly compete with iphone OS due to development community and openness.
5. Minimal external buttons, maybe the iphone position screen on/off button, and blackberry type thumb wheel scroll on the side.
The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we'd had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name.
