Brighthand is reporting that Dell may be considering entering the consumer cellular market next year, citing an anonymous source that works with Dell.

Let’s work with that.
It’s unknown if this device will actually be a more phone-like device, like say the Treo or any of the Windows Smartphone handsets, but it is reported to have a small keyboard in place of a numberpad, and come in both GSM and CDMA versions.
