AT&T to Soon Launch Android-Based Dell Aero

On Monday, mobile phone carrier AT&T announced plans to deliver to its users a series of new smartphones, including the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus devices, as well as a new Android-based handset, the Dell Aero. We already knew that the wireless operator was set to bring the Dell Mini 3i to the US market, and now things seem to have become official.

“The lightest Android smartphone coming soon to the nation's fastest 3G network!,” is what AT&T has to say on the launch of the new device. The Dell Aero will become the second Android-based smartphone available for AT&T's users, yet the wireless carrier will still have to unveil officially the exact details on the handset's availability and pricing.

According to AT&T, users should expect for the new Dell Aero to arrive with a wide list of appealing features, including a 3.5-inch nHD (640 x 360 pixels) touchscreen display, as well as a 5-megapixel photo snapper with fast access to social networking sites like Flickr, Facebook, Picassa, YouTube and TwitPic.

Moreover, the wireless carrier touts the social networking capabilities of the new mobile phone, which comes packed with apps like Facebook, fully integrated into the phonebook and capable of syncing events to user's calendar. Not to mention that the handset also sports Flash Lite support, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, and built-in GPS receiver.
