Nice!!!
XCD35 got nice features and 3.5 inches screen(WoW). It wud be more nice if they had included froyo too. But nice try though, a great hanset in 15k-20k category.
Kudos dell

But resistive touch on XCD28, will be a great factor for its negligence.

I don't like both. Although exact specs are still to come but the current known specs look like a big no no. There are other phones in this category with better features. But if you want the dell logo and want to stand apart with your new dell phone that looks quite good then only go for it.
