I'm excited for Dell and WP7 because Dell proved itself fully capable of making fantastic hardware (a la Streak), and Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 licensing rules prohibit Dell from making a crappy UI on top.

In other words, Dell's hardware glory + Windows Phone 7's awesomeness = win.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/agreed.. and I hope Sprint gets some of these nicer ones. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
Dude! I am getting a Dell!]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/loving the phones but we need memory card support.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
I am looking forward to Win7. I may need to be one of those jackasses with a phone from each os. That would mean 3!]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/I was surprised at how cool all of those phones look.
Then I realized they're all the same phone just taken from different angles.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Dell is the only company I know that has the infrastructure in place to make the hardware that can rival Apples. I cannot wait for Dell to start rolling out these phones loaded with Windows 7 and Android. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
Dell's hardware has never rivaled Apple's.

Okay, I lied. The 30" display was pretty nice. Same guts.

That being said, I would buy the Lightning in an instant if they choose the right carrier (you know who I mean). If well executed, that will be the phone to have next year.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/I know! Their whole storm metaphor lineup looks great, ie the Lightning, Thunder, Smoke, etc. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Provided the built quality is nice, the multimedia and social features decent and WinPho 7 not a complete F*** up then I look forward to these devices.
Competition's looking really nice at this point bring on Q4 2010!!
MeeGo, Gingerbread, WinPho7, (Hpalm?? maybe?). So many many options!]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/But here's to Microsoft and their revolutionary new product. I really hope MS succeeds in this space where they have lost out repeatedly to various competitors. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
Now if only Dell could release products in a timely manner... as awesome as the Dell Streak is.... it STILL isn't anywhere to be found in the good'ole US of A for purchase, not even from Dell themselves.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
Lets wait until we see the final versions.

Dell rarely makes anything that looks great.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
So I guess Bootcamp will eventually be released for the eyePhone; enabling people to install WP7 and use their phones for some productive work.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/

the touch pro 2 is hella durable!!!
(but the gorilla glass will be better)]]>Jul 22nd 2010 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/I dont know whats going on at Dell but they are looking pretty good recently, I have my eyes on the Streak, It would be sweet to get Win Phone 7 on one of those]]>Jul 22nd 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
While I like the single-hand usability of this Dell Phone, it won't help you play emulators as much as a landscape phone...]]>Jul 22nd 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
i'm really hoping for Verizon on this one, but i read before that it had AT&T bands on the leaked spec sheet. i'm hesitant to ditch HTC and the XDA community but the Lightning is pretty much EXACTLY what i've been asking for in a phone. we'll see during the "holidays" i guess.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/Jul 22nd 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
Pfft.. What? What Infrastructure... Dell hasn't been a strong competitor for about 5 years, Apple could buy them 5 times over easily]]>Jul 22nd 2010 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/microsoft-confirms-windows-phone-7-manufacturers-asus-dell-ht/
