Dell suffering from “lack of interest” in the smartphone market

We have been hearing rumors of an upcoming smartphone from Dell over the past several months, however this latest bit of information is probably not what Dell would be hoping to hear. It seems that the carriers just do not want it.

According to Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu the smartphone from Dell has gone “back to the drawing board” after the cellular carriers have shown “a lack of interest.” As of now Dell has not responded to the comments, of course Dell has not officially acknowledged they were working on a smartphone either.

Finally, and perhaps this last comment was made in an effort to make Dell feel a little better, but Wu also stated that the excitement surrounding the “Palm Pre has not helped.”
