Dell Jumps on the Smartphone Bandwagon
Hey, if Apple can do it, why can't Dell right? After all, selling 10 Million Smartphones can't be too hard, right Dell? Dell sure hopes so, that is why they are sneaking out a pair of Pharos branded Smartphones while no one is caring looking. Meet the Traveller 117 and Traveller 127. A matching pair of QWERTY, Windows Mobile 6.1 Dell handsets.
The phones popped up on a Dell website a bit early, and were quickly yanked, but they were there long enough for the whole world to notice. Nice strategic leak if you ask me. None the less, the phones feature:
- 7.2Mbps HSDPA support
- Assisted GPS
- 2 Megapixel Camera
- VGA video call capability
- 4 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby
I don't think there is enough here to make a splash in the Smartphone market. Maybe someone needs to send Dell an iPhone, a Blackberry Storm (Thanks Steve), and a Google G1. It seems like Dell was to busy with their own plans to realize that there are already some really great smartphones out there, and the Traveller 117 and 127 won't join them.
