The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Dell has been developing and will soon release a new smartphone:

“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.

For more information: HERE“

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?

UPDATE: More details HERE posted Friday morning at AllThingsDigital.com

      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!

      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.
