Dell Getting Into Smartphone

Remember when Dell dropped the Axim PDA and the world yawned like a slutty hippopotamus? Well, it looks like it was because even Dell knew that PDAs were out and smartphones (PDAs with calling capabilities) are in. They've contracted Quanta Computer'€"which incidentally supplies Dell's laptops as well'€"to build them a smartphone for launch in Q4 2007. There aren't many details to be found, but "sources" claim that it's codenamed "Fly" and will have Windows Mobile 6, HSDPA, and possibly a QWERTY. Since we're loath to use a smartphone that doesn't have a keyboard, we hope that last part's true. In a market dominated by HTC, we'll just have to see what Dell needs to do to bring something new to the table.
