Engadget has posted hands-on video of the upcoming Dell smartphone Aero that will be sold on AT&T’s network in US. According to Engadget, the main takeaways about the device are:
The form factor is very, very sleek, though it feels surprisingly light compared to a Nexus One or Droid.
The UI has been completely reskinned, and there are multiple skins available – but also missing is Google Maps, Gmail, and a handful of other Google-centric features…
It looks like AT&T and Dell want to turn this device into a glorified featurephone, which is a huge downer – it’s definitely loaded with AT&T bloatware.
Dell has merged the home button and back button into a single target on the left side of the phone – long press for home, short press for back, and it doesn’t always feel very natural.
Screen responsiveness wasn’t super tight, though this is still an unreleased version, so we suppose that could change.
