Well, that came out of nowhere. Although we knew the device existed early this year, today\u2019s arrival of the Dell Aero at AT&T Mobility was a total surprise \u2013 at least to us.<\/p>\nWell, that came out of nowhere.

Dell\u2019s Aero smartphone runs not Android 2.2, 2.1 or even 2.0. The Aero runs Android 1.5 which is so, well\u2026 HTC Hero<\/a>. Even the Dell Streak tablet runs Android 1.6. Dell doesn\u2019t think a year-old OS is a problem though, noting that the Aero is running many \u201cDell user interface enhancements.\u201d One would hope.<\/p>\n Features include a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen (640×360), UMTS\/HSDPA mobile broadband, 802.11b\/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, a 624Mhz CPU, a microSDHC card slot (a 2GB card is included, 32GB max), GPS, a 1000mAh Li-Ion battery, and a 5MP camera. <\/p>\n Leaving the disappointing OS version aside, the Aero has a few selling points.

It\u2019s also a great looking device that\u2019s thin and sleek. And at only 3.6-ounces, it\u2019s quite light-weight for an Android-powered phone.<\/p>\n You can order the Aero today via Dell. The handset is slated for direct sale by AT&T \u201csoon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, that came out of nowhere.
