Dell's Smartphone Rejected — Too Dull

Posted by timothy on Saturday March 21, 2009 @11:59AM from the stomach-for-human-weakness-but-not-the-eye dept.

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.'"

Who knew Acer had a phone? by SuperKendall · 2009-03-21 12:15 · Score: 4, Informative

More interesting than a boring Dell phone, was a note near the end that Acer had a smrtphone out - one of them is the DX900, a Windows Mobile phone.
Sorry about the voice...
