Dell on Dell. Goodbye to Black Berry!
The computer tech giant, Dell Inc Corporation, will be abandoning BlackBerry smartphone platform, in favor of its own smartphones that are powered by Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 operating system, and Google’s Android mobile OS.
The company will start by replacing 25,000 BlackBerry smartphones with the company’s own Venture Pro smartphone, the company’s latest Windows Phone 7 device. Dell will later give employees the option of using smartphones powered by Google Android.
Dell says it would save a significant amount of money by avoiding hefty BlackBerry Enterprise Server licenses, but the company at the same time would be operating at a less than optimal level on mobile security, and would forego the benefits of the seamless BlackBerry Messaging service.
A senior Dell employee at the company’s headquarters who commented on condition of anonymity said he was skeptical of the cost savings, and that not all people at the company welcomed the transition, citing the ease of use of the BlackBerry platform.
