Dell Phones lack oomph factor

Dell have made no secret of their will to take a seat on the mobile phone bandwagon. Unfortunately, American cellular carriers failed to be interested in the first prototype devices and sent Dell back to the drawing board.

This piece of information comes from a note by Shaw Wu, a senior analyst at Kaufman Bros. Dell apparently had two handsets to show, one running Windows Mobile, the other Android. Carriers seemed to think that the smartphones were not innovative enough and did not have the right design to be able to compete with the other products currently out there.
