Hot on the heels of yesterday's Streak Pro 101DL info, Dell today officially announced the Dell Streak Pro D43. This phone (not the 101DL) is actually the first phone to be utilizing Baidu's Yi operating system, unlike what we heard yesterday.
Although the Streak Pro D43 is not the exact same phone as the 101DL, it is very similar. It's got the same 4.3-inch AMOLED display, the same 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and the same amount of internal memory. This time, though, the phone won't be running on Softbank's network; instead, it will run on China Unicom.
As you can see from the picture above, this Streak Pro looks pretty darn good, which makes me want the thing to arrive stateside even more. Although I doubt it will, the Streak Pro supports HSPA+ so it would be marketed as a 4G phone from the carriers if it was ever picked up.

it looks almost like the first Motorola Atrix, with a bigger screen size.
The D43 might actually be the same hardware model as what the 101dl might be, Dell’s chinese press release lists it as supporting all the bands that are used in Japan (which is pretty much a rarity in a phone outside Japan)

If it is released in Japan it will be more or less (hardware) identical to the D43
the atrix 2 has a 4.3 screen. so it looks exactly like the atrix 2, but with uglier optical buttons.
Good to know that things are moving with Dell, but 4.3″ is not a killer anymore…
