Concept Alienware Android phone makes our brain, hands hurt
There's a reason phones don't remotely resemble PC cases, and we think this mockup does a fabulous job demonstrating why that is. Okay, look, we're totally cool with Dell and Alienware producing an Alienware-branded handset -- especially if it runs Android, a platform Dell has been rumored to be very, very interested in -- we just really don't want this (or anything like this) to be it. The morphing keypad and user interface look awesome, but we have a very simple rule when we purchase a new phone: under no circumstances should the slider have physically painful ridges digging into your hands during use. Is that too much to ask?

so it'll cost twice as much as if dell did it themselves, and you'll have to contact tech support because it won't work out of the box? (neither of my alienware systems worked out-of-box, one had to be shipped back and i had to reseat the memory and cards in the other).
reminds me of the dethphones from metalocalypse. i wonder if it'll have a similarly painful calling plan associated with it...

Looks like a phone Dethklok would use!
