Dell's first Windows Mobile and Android smartphone protoype hasn't been critically acclaimed at all, so the manufacturer had to admit that the market is still operated by the needs of telecommunication companies. The first two prototypes is told to miss all kinds of uniqueness according to network operators, it has no differentiation, too few features that could make it different than similar offers, or otherwise told: it will never be launched. According to Shaw Wu, analyst at Kaufman Bros., the denial practically makes the sales of the handset impossible, as there are very few who buy a phone without support from the operators. According to analysts Dell won't give up that easy and after creating a proper software or service offer they could be successful, although they should acquire a specialised company, like Lenovo and Acer did. As we know Acer entered the market of mobile phones by acquiring E-TEN.
