Dell's Smartphone Rejected — Too Dull
MBCook writes "AppleInsider has an article discussing Dell's attempt to enter the smartphone market, as well as the news that the phone was rejected by carriers as too dull. The article doesn't pull punches: 'Dell's failure to successfully step from the commodity PC business into the mobile handset market should come as no surprise, as smartphones requires expertise in software platform development, consumer design savvy, and portable device engineering, all things Dell has never demonstrated any proficiency in.'"
"Logu?" "Lugo?" "Lugu?" I don't get it.
Oh, yeah, it's not easy to pad these out to 120 characters.
Didn't you hear that Dell changed their name to Doll?
It's just like SciFi becoming Syfy except not quite as retarded.
You can't take the sky from me.
"Smartphones are going to explode in the next two years."
Which ones?!

Me to! I hovered the mouse over the link and saw the URL before I clicked. Cool feature, right?!
Dude you're getting a Dull!
Oh yeah? Does YOUR cell phone have time travel capabilities?
I thought not.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Can't be. Who's ever heard of a Sony battery lasting anywhere near two years?
Every phone I've bought has been dull. They tend to have rounded corners, because otherwise you'd be cutting your face on the sharp edges. That's why I never bought a Razr.
... and then they built the supercollider.
Butbutbutbut, why didn't they just add cellular capabilities to the a-daaaah-mo, then? :)
It'd make it the ultimate little black book, then.
One of these days, I am going to flip out. When I flip out, I'll be back in five minutes.
