“NEWS ALERT from The Wall Street Journal

Jan. 29, 2009

Dell, aiming to rev up sales as its mainstay personal computer business struggles in the recession, is preparing a move into cell phones as early as next month.

The company has had a group of engineers working on the phones for more than a year from an office in the Chicago area. They produced prototypes built on Google’s Android operating system and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile software.

There are some interesting comments on the WSJ website, one having something to do about rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.  My personal hope is for a version of Windows Mobile.  What’s your preference?

  • I've read that Dell may actually produce both an Android and a WM phone, not choose one or the other. That's a good idea for them, because if WM loses popularity or Android doesn't take off as expected, they'll have a fallback. Plus, they can sell to both WM and Android fans.

    As for the X51V, I never used one, but it was great looking and had great specs. Even though I was an iPAQ guy, I was sorry to see Dell leave.

    Dell already has the platform, the X51V. Just add the cell phone feature and they would have it. Such a waste of such a great PDA!
