A Brighthand reader who works for an important Dell customer reports being told by a Dell representative that her company is putting together a device similar to the Treo 600. There aren't very many details available on this device. The Dell representative wasn't there to brief the customer on it, but simply mentioned it during an unrelated conversation."</i><br /><br />I'm not all that surprised. Back when Dell was working on a Pocket PC, it was rumored that they were also looking at a Smartphone. Personally, I welcome Dell to the Smartphone area. They rocked the Pocket PC camp when they entered it, and I would love to see what they can do with a Smartphone. :D

This is awesome...

Dell I am sure will do to Smartphones what it did to Pocket PCs.

- Bring down the price
- Add bulk to the phone, take the current SPV C500 form factor back to the original SPV size and weight ;-)
