Dell SmartPhone, get’s a resounding Meh!
Mediocrity, is not going to get you a foothold in the smart phone market! Relying on the reputation of a previous, market leading PDA, that was unglamorously discontinued, Dell have been rejected in their WinMo Phone efforts.
Whether it be, that they don’t have a design innovation powerpack, they can’t come up with anything that supercedes the current HTC designs for devices, maybe they have left their run a bit to late?
According to a January report by the Wall Street Journal, Dell was set to announce a customizable Windows Mobile smartphone that would be available with or without a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and would also be offered with Google’s Android Linux operating system. Dell representatives spent much of last year meeting with suppliers of phone components, phone software companies, and Asian phone manufacturers, the publication added.
I know there are plenty of Axim users out there that would like to see that excellence transferred to a converged device.
Dell probably shot themselves in the foot, when they discontinued the axim, at windows mobile 5, trying to recover now with a smart phone , that isn’t budget priced and top of the range available, will not do them any good.
Even if Dell release a WinMo phone, it would have to be phenomenal to out do the latest HTC devices.
The most of the news goes, " No Carriers are interested in subsidising a Dell device".
May be that Dell drove HTC in the past, but HTC has kept in touch with the mobile market, and have adapted appropriately.
Even though I would love a Dell Axim Phone, it seems they have missed the boat, there are major issues, to be dealt with. Price, and development?
Basically it seems like Dell have missed the boat, and where once they were market leaders, they took a hiatus, and lost their momentum. Will a Dell Smart Phone sell/ materialise?

I’m really hoping to see Dell succeed in this, but I too am not too optimistic regarding this…

@Darkorner Well the rumour is confirmed anyway, what the phone is, OS, is all up for rumour mongering!
