Dell might be working on some smart phones with Android, but not for release here in the states. According to a rumor/report posted at JLM Pacific Epoch, China Mobile and Dell plan to jointly release two smartphone models, currently under testing, that are based on the (Android). This comes courtesy of the ever-popular “insider close to” China Mobile.
The project is still in the testing phase, and a specific launch date has not yet been announced. A spokesperson for Dell China did not comment on the news.
Dell’s smartphones were shown around to US carriers recently, but the carriers were unimpressed in the States citing that the phones offered no differentiation in a saturated market.

This is a pretty big surprise in my opinion. I really expected Dell to release some mediocre smartphones to the US market and fail miserably.
But to hear that they are going to use Android and that they are coming up with some new designs….maybe Dell will actually shake up the smartphone market!
