“On one hand it’s essentially a 5”-screen smartphone
masquerading as a tablet device; on the other it’s a
small-form-factor tablet pretending to be a phone. It’s a case of
dual personality and whichever way you look at it, there’s no easy
way to pigeonhole it. If you were to ask the folks at Dell they’d
certainly err on the side of tablet, but this does little to change
the fact that it’s basically a very large example of any of the
latest Android-based Smartphones you can read about here or
elsewhere.

“It does everything standard 3″ and 4″-screen smartphones do.
You can make calls, install the thousands of apps in the Android
Market, make use of Google’s free point-to-point navigation
software or watch a video saved on its copiously proportioned 16GB
memory card.”
