Engadget has the scoop on quite a lot of upcoming mobile devices from Dell, first up are four Android-based smartphones.

The Dell Thunder is an Android 2.1 phone with a 4.1" WVGA OLED screen. It features the custom Dell "Stage" user interface and the leaked specification sheets claim the phone will support Flash 10.1, along with a mention of an integrated web video Hulu application. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon processor and features an 8MP digicam. You can expect the HSDPA version around Q4 2010, and an LTE model is expected by late 2011.



The Dell Smoke runs Android Froyo atop a 2.8" QVGA display. This candybar-style phone has a slender 12mm thin design and features a QWERTY keypad, the next-gen Qualcomm MSM7230 800MHz processor, 5MP digicam, 14.4Mbps HSPA, microSD memory card slot, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and dual-mic noise canceling. The Smoke is expected to be released in Q2 2011.



Next is the Dell Flash, this model is only 11mm thick and features a 3.5" WVGA LCD display. The phone is equipped with the Qualcomm MSM7230 800MHz processor and features 14.4Mbps HSPA, 5MP digicam, microSD memory card slot, WiFi, TV-out, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Bluetooth 3.0. The launch of this phone is expected in Q1 2011.



The fourth Android phone is the least exciting, the Dell Aero features a 3.5" capacitive multitouch screen and uses a slower 624MHz Marvell processor.
