The phone might work well, but I don't need a slim phone. I would much rather have a large screen with more viewing space like the HTC HD2. Props to Dell, however, for releasing these great looking phones - I'm sure they'll do well.]]>Apr 21st 2010 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/Apr 21st 2010 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/
Hmm it doesn't look "ugly" to me.

I think it's sophisticated...which is a break from most Android phones.

The Pixi's form factor is actually quite unique and I think it's a good one.

Personally it's either sliders or full touch screen for me. ]]>Apr 21st 2010 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/
Agree. YUCK!

So you carry a purse, or you clip it to your belt?

A thin phone is a necessity for any man who cares about his appearance. Period. You may not mind stuffing your pockets with boxy crap, but I assure you that you look like a schlub walking around. Ask any woman: There are few better ways to look like a doofus.]]>Apr 21st 2010 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/What's the matter, afraid the length will dwarf something else?]]>Apr 21st 2010 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/Apr 21st 2010 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/

Easy on the lame jokes. I do a lot of business with my phone including email and demand much more screen space than this particular Dell phone offers. I'm currently using the iPhone and considering the HTC HD2 because of the larger screen.

The point is that unless your targeting teenagers who are purely seeking the slimmest possible phone, then there is no point for phone makers to go this small with their phones.]]>Apr 21st 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/Apr 21st 2010 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-smoke-slaps-android-in-the-wild-form-factor-you-secretly-wa/

MY biggest complaint on the Pre is the keyboard half is thin, which means a little hard to grip at times (with the default slick back) and the battery life SUCKS becuase they had to squeeze a tiny battery into that thin half.

MY work Blackberry Curve has an Otterbox on it. Big, bulky... and can survive a drop of far longer than anyone would care to drop their phone ^_^.

It is only a 2.8 inch screen, so it's probably not as long as you think it is.
