Dell is bringing the “Thunder” to the smart phone world, literally. Dell has leaked their newest Android phone called the “Thunder”, this bad boy is running Android 2.1 with a 4.1in OLED screen. I grabbed the leaked pages. I’d love to get all excited, but this phone is dated the 4th quarter of this year. So, I’m gonna skip my excitement for a moment and show you the info. -Greg

Samsung’s newest bad boy the “Galaxy S” has recently been said to be hitting all 4 major carriers. According to an article by the Android Guys, Broadpoint.AmTech analyst Mark McKechnie says it will be heading to T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint by the end of June with Verizon slated as “sometime later this year”. BGR reports the following specs for the Galaxy S:

The Galaxy S sports the features that grace other cutting edge Android handsets including a gorgeous four inch AMOLED display with 800 x 480 resolution, 1GHz processor, 5 megapixel rear-facing camera with support for 720p HD video recording at 30fps, front-facing VGA camera, Swype keyboard, HSDPA connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, WiFi, microSD expansion (16GB included, up to 32GB supported), and Android 2.1. To set it apart from its competition, the Galaxy S includes bundled software for the “Smart Life’ which adds an on-device Social networking hub, advanced location-based services, the Layar Reality Browser, and HD video playback.

 Nuff said? Yeah, there is no doubt this is one bad Android phone and seeing as it will be hitting AT&T about the same time that Dell’s two Android phones will, I might actually have a choice. Ok, not really I’m thinking this Galaxy is my now 1st choice over Sony’s Xperia X10. One of the options that BGR doesn’t mention in the above is the camera will have panoramic support, how is cool is that?! More about the Samsung Galaxy S and the full press release is over here.

So there’s a new bad boy entering the Android market. The Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10 and it could blow away Motorola’s Droid. Starting with 1GB internal memory, a 1GHz processor, and 8 mega pixel camera this thing is sure to be the next champion in this ever growing list of challengers of the iPhone. Sony Ericsson’s website is pre-registering for the phone and says they are releasing the phone in the UK first, sometime in February. Haven’t seen anything about the US just yet or what network it maybe on, but something tells me it won’t be AT&T. I’ve been noticing a continual drop in quality on my AT&T phone which is only helping me to make that jump off of AT&T’s network elsewhere. Android 2.0, here I come! – Greg
