not sure I understand your point. Dell is a US based company. The research report came from a market analyst in San Francisco California. In the US, the carrier is king. If no carrier is interested, no point in making the device.
Apple did the same thing - launched in the US only and them months later came out in other countries. Given the carrier feedback caused dell to backpedal indicates Dell showed it to US carriers.
Sorry if that offends your sensibilities, but bringing up how the rest of the world does it isn't terribly relevant since Dell didn't show it to the rest of the world and the market analyst wasn't reporting on the rest of the world.
