If Microsoft’s Kin didn’t quite light your fire, what the guys over at Engadget are calling “the mother of all Dell leaks” just might electrify your smartphone desires.

Meet the Dell Lightning, a decidedly sexy portrait slider set to be powered by Microsoft’s chic and minimalistic upcoming Windows Phone 7 operating system. Engadget managed to secure some slides detailing the slick device, and from the spec sheet, it looks like the Lightning will offer much more than a pretty face when it strikes Wirefly’s virtual shelves (perhaps sometime in Q4?). Here’s some highlights from the spec sheet:

• 1GHz QSD8250 Snapdragon processor
• WVGA 4.1-inch OLED display
• AT&T and T-Mobile 3G
• 5-megapixel autofocus camera
• 1GB of flash memory
• 512MB RAM
• 8GB of storage on a MicroSD card
• GPS, accelerometer, & compass
• FM radio
• Flash support

For all the details, and some images of the slides themselves, head over to Engadget.
