Whats the point in ending sales when people are not buying it already.

Darn shame, if you ask me, but it's Dell's own damn fault. These phones had great hardware (save for Dell Aero) but the software support from Dell was almost non-existant. They never fixed the compass issues on Venue Pro and never upgraded Venue past 2.2

Sure, they should try again. I think Dell as a hardware company is very, very good. But the Mobile industry needs access, and Dell made a decision to try and do the same thing as work out of your Dad's garage when you tried your hand at a Kool-Aid stand- if nobody had access to your product, they ain't spending money on it. Dell sold only from their stores and online, with no promotion. Who the heck knew where to get them?

Its sad.. I love my Dell Venue Pro.. the problem wasn't even the phones (the DVP was pretty much bug free with Mango) ..
It was sales.. When you ONLY sell online, on a buried webpage no one can find.. surprise surprise they don't sell well. Who evers idea it was to NOT sell at carriers was completely idiotic..
IF they had sold them at MINIMUM Best Buy they would have had better luck..
IF they had actually sold them at the Carriers store it would have sold VERY VERY Well..
It was and still is a VERY unique phone.. and constantly have people ask where I got it and how to get it.. OFTEN this happened at the Tmobile STORE !!
But Because they didn't have it at the store.. the customer went and bought a Android.. or a Nokia.

I agree. the only phone I know they sold at bb was the dell streak and even that wasn't for long. if they would have gotten carriers on board they would have fared better hardware wise

Dell doesn't even have the decency to update the Venue. As if Gingerbread is too much to ask for.
