Dell gearing up and starting its own communications division for phones

When a company first takes itself in a new and uncharted direction, there are baby steps needed to be accomplished to get rolling to where they want to be. In the case of Dell, we’ve been seeing the PC making giant change gears and make a focus on developing Android handsets of late. Although US consumers have yet been treated to a taste of Dell’s smartphone offerings, it’s becoming clear that their intention on building a solid foundation in the phone world is becoming more prominent. Dell has decided to start up its own mobile division – which shows their commitment to plunge into the mobile market. This newly created Communications Group will hone in on mobile phones and other portable devices – with former Motorola exec, Ron Garrigues, in charge of the whole thing. Sure the recent Dell Android phones may have sparked some interest, but this new venture will keep them around the scene for quite some time
