Finally? This is like sticking a finger in an open wound! It's just painful to wait for it. Just launch it already!]]>Feb 19th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/
I can not keep this in my pocket, it is very impressive though.]]>Feb 19th 2010 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 19th 2010 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/
Add a lil internal storage and some skype video chat and I would wait in line for this like I did on iPhone launch day ]]>Feb 19th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 19th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 19th 2010 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Agree 100%.
I want this thing NOW. Give it to me !]]>Feb 19th 2010 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/
What totally kills me is that at&t is dragging their feet on launching non-iphone smartphones (android, webOS, etc), probably so they can sort of wring out some more $$$ with apple.

On the flipside, dell has been teasing us with this for months...it seems like a brutal wait.

I'm itching to go back to Cupertino throw my single-tasking phone back at Stevie already.]]>Feb 19th 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Are you going to throw your iPhone or iPad?

I'm sorry but that just sounds dumb. If AT&T wanted to make Apple happy, they'd increase their 3G coverage and have tethering enabled already. Stop pointing your finger at AT&T and Apple, and just live with the fact that Dell probably just isn't ready to release it yet.]]>Feb 19th 2010 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Yeah, can't wait for my alpha-male gargantuan phone.

That said, I really hope they get this device. I'd buy it in a second.]]>Feb 19th 2010 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/
I don't see how Apple would affect money coming in if they have Android and WebOS phones. That's just making more and more money from selling those phones, new contracts, new data plans. And Apple probably asks for a large sum back to them.

AT&T is announcing their first Android phone on the home page of their website, they're not hiding it. It's got a whole page showing demos and videos and such of the phone. It's not their secret from the world.

Besides, althogth the backflip is a mid range Android phone, it;s the first of AT LEAST 5 to come by June this year. NOT INCLUDING the Dell Mini 5 which is a win for me, and I have no idea about the other HTC phones. IN fact the Nexus One is to come to AT&T and it's probably not even counted in the 5 for this first half.

Verizon has 2 Android phones on them with a couple coming. Sprint has like 3. You can be some what patient.]]>Feb 19th 2010 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 19th 2010 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/
I'm not an Apple fanboy. I WILL NOT get the iPad until they put multitasking in it or there's a hack that enable multitasking for it (I believe there will be a hack since the iPhone or iTouch can do multitasking after jailbroken).

LOOK AGAIN: This thing has a 5" touch screen. It's too big for a phone. and too small for a netbook replacement. I don't know what kinds of weed people at Dell smoke when they design this thing?

WHY DON'T THEY MAKE IT 9"-10"? How the hell am I going to take note in my class with this 5" screen? Buy a bluetooth keyboard? NOT! Using my thumbs to type... NO thanks, I use my Nexus One.

Apple made the iPod Touch bigger... Nothing new yet it's big enough 9.7" touch screen, perfect for a netbook replacement. You can type on it with 10 fingers (which takes sometime to get use to).

This thing with 5" screen is a piece of useless shit. Yeah carry that big phone and put it on your face to answer the phone. You can get some attention from other nerds. Put in your pocket so people can see that you DO have a phone... and it's BIG. /facepalm]]>Feb 19th 2010 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 19th 2010 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 19th 2010 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/It's almost certainly running 2.1 since dell have confirmed it'll be running something newer than 1.6 which leaves 2.0 (which wasn't out for long before 2.1 was so unlikely), 2.1 and 2.2/5/whatever]]>Feb 19th 2010 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/i thinked that dell hate a little bit apple and their apple only hardware but this, i dont know what to think, i was sure it has a usb mini port or something else not this apple connector.

hope it will play on all ipod compatible devices....large enough]]>Feb 20th 2010 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 20th 2010 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 20th 2010 4:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 20th 2010 4:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/and secondly how fast a site like engadget load on it?]]>Feb 20th 2010 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 20th 2010 4:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Mar 15th 2010 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/

the connector is a foolish idea - a mini USB3 and mini HDMI at one of the ends of the device would have been much better.]]>Feb 19th 2010 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/Feb 19th 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/-
This concept would work but they simply need to shave the length by an inch. There is plenty of blank space on either end of the phone where the screen ends, where all they really need is a mic on one end and a speaker slot on the other. Chisel all that useless plastic away and get this thing down to 5" long and it would be a slam dunk.]]>Feb 19th 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/dell-mini-5-prototype-impressions/
I found an object (TI Calculator) that was the exact dimensions. Fits just right in my pocket.

I think o read somewhere that it would be $14.99/month? If that's true, this device will replace my current phone and my iPod touch (I have a Cowon S9).

I'd like to see flash support and a decent camera and I'm sold. Can't wait for this product to come out!!!]]>Feb 19th 2010 12:31PM
