Dell’s Android based smartphone leaked? (MePhone?)

June 16th, 2009

Its being rumored since ages that Dell is working on a smartphone and that too quite secretively :P .

However after all the speculations getting cold and forgotten  here is something that gives a fire-shot to these rumors. A leaked image of a Dell smartphone is here to help our hopes. Cant be certain if its true, but the design looks more like Nokia 5800 to me (though people are comparing it to the Palm Pre).
