I agree with mchinsky ... it's very annoying to read an article only to have to scroll down through the comments to find out if anyone else has the facts that the reporter couldn't be bothered digging up.
This "post a headline, but let your readers do the reporting" approach strikes me as a new low that I hope doesn't catch on !

If they launch a phone with the Dell label on it, it's doomed to fail. Cellphones are lifestyle items and nobody wants to have their lifestyle associated with a boring brand. No matter how hard they try, Dell = boring.
They do have a very good option though:
They own Alienware who have managed to remain relatively independent and have retained their cool factor as a maker of high end gaming PCs and laptops.
Dell should use that brand to launch a slickly designed Android phone with enough oomph to run some decent games and make that their differentiator. They could use their famous supply chain clout to keep costs down, but they'd have to allow the Alienware guys to own the design.

Attention grabbing headline + weak article = complete let down and waste of time.
Just because it's a blog is no reason for journalistic integrity to go completely out the window.
You'd never see a post like this at Engadget.
And finally what the hell is a "2.0 or 2.1 channel home theater system" ?
Surround sound is part of the definition of Home Theater:
