Lionel also goes on to mention that Dell will continue to look at new technology that’s important to their customers. According to Lionel:

“As we expand hardware and create new carrier partnerships, feature sets may vary depending on the needs of mobile operators. Don’t expect all Dell smartphones to have the same spec and feature list. Design and technical specs will vary based on the needs of carriers, regional considerations, and what customers want.”

As with many handset vendors – what you get with one carrier might not be the same thing you get with another carrier.
