Dell unsurprisingly denies rumors of Google phone

As is the custom in these matters, Dell has flatly denied the existence of any product to announce at MWC, and went further on to state that the company doesn't even plan on attending the show. Rumors of a "Gphone" were probably greatly exaggerated to begin with, and now at least the venue has been firmly shot down. That said, there was no explicit denial of an Android-related product (there never is), so the optimistic ones out there can go on hoping for a Dell phone to solve all their problems. Hey, if Garmin can do it, what's stopping them?[Via Electronista]

Hey, they could be telling the truth now. Maybe somebody in PR merely wanted to generate some Dell buzz and hype.

I doubt Dell would close all of their mall kiosks if they were getting ready to release a product that would actually create some sales there. That would be something they would want to advertise right outside of the apple store.

Aren't most phones Google phones? My BlackBerry uses all the Google apps. iPhones are Google friendly. Any phone that has a browser that supports Java or xhtml is a Google phone...right?

How many times have we heard the Dell phone rumor?

I bet you those guys at aximsite.com are hoping to revive the old AximX51V. It truly was a great PDA that would have made a sweet PDA/phone but Dell for whatever reason ended with the 51V.

I bought a dual sim card cell phone from http://www.buyuz.com and they are cheap and working well, go and take a look, I am sure that you can also find something you need there.
