14 DAY TRIAL // Even though no official announcements have been made, Dell's first Android smartphone, Aero is now available for purchase in India for only Rs. 11,999 (about $267).
It appears that the electronics manufacturer plans to deplete its Dell Aero stocks and India seems the perfect location.
Major online retailer Letsbuy is now selling the Dell Aero in India and promises to deliver the product for free within 3-5 working days.
Although Dell Aero was originally launched in North America, the company stopped retailing the smartphone for quite some time.
Those who wish to give the device a try should know that Dell Aero runs Google's older Android 2.1 (Eclair) platform.
However, the phone is delivered with a Dell customized user interface, which claims to be more user friendly than the stock Android interface.
The handset is powered by a single core Marvell PXA310 processor clocked at 624 MHz speed, which is supposed to render the phone with fast and smooth functioning, multitasking, faster browsing and gaming.
Dell Aero comes with a Corning Gorilla display of 3.5-inches that supports an unusual 640 x 360 pixels resolution and handwriting recognition capability.
The smartphone sports a 5-megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom and features video capturing capability of CIF@30fps.
Dell Aero is bundled with a Flash Lite enhanced Android browser that allows users to watch videos and Flash movies virtually.
In addition, Dell Aero comes preinstalled with Quickoffice and PDF view and edit features, as well as auto-sync with Microsoft Exchange calendar.
Dell Aero is 3G-enabled with max download speed of 3.6 Mbps which means faster data transfer, browsing, and downloads.
It also supports the full connectivity spectrum and location features which include Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE, USB, Bluetooth and GPS.
Last but not least, Google Search, Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk, Document viewer, Microsoft Exchange are usable applications loaded inside Dell Aero.
