Dell: Not working with Google on new handset – no hardware to show off at Mobile World Congress

We love a good rumor. But, if there’s one thing we love more, it’s the back and forth between the blogosphere and spokespeople that these rumors generate. Following on rumors that Dell and Google are working together on a mobile phone, a Dell spokesperson has denied that Dell has no hardware to debut at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Furthermore, Dell has no intention of attending the expo.
Interestingly, there was no explicit denial or confirmation that Dell was working on a mobile phone. So we could possibly see Dell re-entering the handheld market with an Android-based handset in the future. That’s pure speculation, but hey, it makes sense.
It looks like there will be no announcement about a new handset from Dell and Google (NSDQ: GOOG) in a couple weeks, but we’ll keep our eyes open for other interesting developments.

That rumor has been dispelled by a post at another side. That guy actually did some fact checking himself. It’s a nice read.
