Dell Aero a bit disappointing?
I haven’t personally held Dell’s Aero, so I can’t offer any comments of my own regarding the quality of the experience. However, Joshua Topolsky was allowed to test the phone that bloggers were allowed to handle (but not turn on) at CTIA, and he’s viewing Aero as a “glorified featurephone.” As you’ll see in the video below, the UI has been heavily modified and Engadget tells us that the system is packed with AT&T bloatware (big surprize). Of course software updates could turn things around a bit, possibly including what Topolsky calls “One of the worst implementations of a virtual keyboard.” Sounds like Dell is hopping into the American world of Android on the wrong foot. I want to bee rooting for Dell. I hope this is just a little bump in the road on the way to a great line of Androids. Video after the break:

“a bit” disappointing? i'd say it's right up there next to a Samsung Behold 2
And where is the news about the 2.1 droid announcment. Any other android site has this.
would the customizations be able to be turned off the same way the sense ui is with htc devices?
Ugh!! What was Dell thinking? I hope this isn't a foreshadow of the Dell Mini 5…
exactly….
The home button on the side seems so unnecessarily cumbersome. Why would you do this??? I understand not wanting buttons on the front, but man, 10 seconds into the video I realized something just wasn't working right. Long pressing to get to your home screen is a nightmare.
what is at&t scared of apple or something, why are they messing up all the android phones but haven't tried this bs with the iphone nobody wants their crappy apps (if they want to change every phone they could have made a deal with apple to include this crap too since prior to this year they were the only one's selling the iphone and now that's almost at its end…) lol its a good thing the nexus one isn't sold directly through at&t or they'd shit all over that phone as well.
