Dell Halting Upgrade CD Shipments?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "THOUGHT" @ 11:05 PM
We received an email from Clinton Fitch today regarding the Dell Windows Mobile 5 upgrade CDs that's rather disturbing:
"I have been on the phone with Dell for the better part of an hour regarding the upgrade for x50 and x50v owners - both the free upgrade for purchases since July 2005 and the for purchase upgrade. Apparently Dell pulled the plug on the upgrade CDs being shipped. What few did ship had serious upgrade issues and Dell decided to go back to the lab. The problem as they stated was that they did not have an ETA on when this will ship. In looking at the Dell site, they are offering the upgrade for sale but they will not be shipping it until they get whatever issues they have with the upgrade itself."
I have a call into my Dell PR contact to get an official statement, so far no response.
