Thunder! Lightning! Dell's new smartphones are frightening!

Frighteningly good, we mean.

Could Dell be the next big player in the smartphone market? Tech blog Engadget has leaked details of three impressive new handsets from the company: Thunder, Lightning and Smoke.

Taking them in order... Thunder is an Android handset with a 4.1-inch OLED touchscreen, running Dell's own 'Stage' user interface.

It will apparently include Twitter and Facebook integration, Flash 10.1, and an "integrated web video Hulu app" - which is the first concrete proof of the online TV portal's plans for mobile.

Meanwhile, Lightning is a Windows Phone 7 handset with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 4.1-inch OLED screen, and Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon processor inside.

Finally, Smoke appears to be a more business-focused phone, running Android and with a QWERTY keyboard. However, it's not expected to be out until the second quarter of next year.
