Dell Blaze leaks, running Android 1.5 on entry level hardware

Dell has been getting pretty serious when it comes to Android with its Aero, Streak, and the recently leaked Thunder. Now that relationship is getting even stronger, with the leak of the Dell Blaze. The good folks at Android Spin have received photos of the Blaze, which their tipster says smaller than the Thunder and is comparable to Palm's Pixi. In the lineup of Dell Android devices, the source said that the Blaze is more of an entry level handset. The unit in the photos is currently running Android 1.5, but Android Spin's tipster had no information regarding future updates.
While it looks like a good entry level device similar to the Aero, it's definitely disappointing that the Blaze is running Android 1.5. I hope that it gets update to at least Android 2.1 before release, otherwise the Blaze will be missing out on several Android features, like Voice Actions and Chrome to Phone. Still, it's great to see Dell seriously stepping up their Android game. How many of you are planning on picking up one of Dell's Android phones in the future?
