AT&T recently launched their first Android smartphone – the Motorola Backflip – and the Dell Aero has just been announced as the carrier’s second phone with the open source platform. The press release gave few details about the Aero beyond its existence, but a new landing page at AT&T provides a few pictures and some details:
The Aero has a 3.5-inch screen, 5MP camera, and seems like a renamed version of the Dell Mini 3i – we’re wondering what version of Android that’s sitting on. Either way, it clearly isn’t your regular old Android and Dell has made some sweeping UI customizations that I’m hoping we don’t have to wait too long to check out for ourselves.
Now that AT&T seems to being going full speed ahead on Android too, it looks like there is no turning back. And for Dell, will they finally get the exposure and success in the smartphone market they’ve been hoping for with the help of Android?
