i would buy the acer phone....but it depends on the specs...and as far as the dell phone HELL YEA I WOULD BUY IT IF IT HAS ANDROID .....ANDROID ID THE BEST...JUS THE G1 SUCKS...LOL

[sweetgeektv]

GREGSJH13- You know the G1 isn't all that bad - I tested it out for like 3 weeks thanks to T-Mobile and I really enjoyed it :)

I can't wait until they release the specs for the acer phone and the dell phone (if it's going to exist)

Hahaha A Dell phone?Dell? Hahaha sorry man i wouldnt spend any money out on anything dell after owning one of their pc's. They build their pc's so you can only buy from them in some cases...so whats the catch with this phone? Gotta buy their sim cards?...

[sweetgeektv]

0Xian0- well if it happens we'll know what the catch is - maybe they will just try to build a great phone, huh? it could happen. :)

rushringleader, Windows Mobile 6.5 may rock though! :)

-Griffin / SweetGeekTV

[sweetgeektv]

pomokey, then you maybe one of the main people I know that will have it first! Which means you can tell me how you like it and all that jazz! I'm very excited - I hope the period of time between only sprint and sprint & vzw carrying it is short :)

-Griffin / SweetGeekTV

[sweetgeektv]

well you might just get your wish! Michael Dell neither confirmed or denied that they are working on a smartphone - which could be a good hint that they are. :)

-Griffin / SweetGeekTV

[aluzhin]

Ooo yes I would! I love Dell!! : )

[pomokey]

I'm actually really excited about the palm pre, so much that there is a good chance I will switch to sprint. It actually offers a better plan than I have with at&t anyway.

As far as the dell phone, I will wait and see what windows mobile 6.5 looks like before I get too excited.
