Dell finally swaps BlackBerry smartphones for Venue Pros, now that no-one else wants one

Wouldn’t you understand it, but a whole year once we originally reported the tale, Dell has finally made good on that promise to exchange its BlackBerry smartphones with the company’s own Venue Pro handsets — for probably the most part, anyway. You spot, of the 30,000 BlackBerry units currently in deployment, Dell has swapped approximately 15,000 of them. Still, the glass seems to be half full in Round Rock , with the company’s Chief Information Officer, Robin Johnson, touting the alleged cost-savings of the switcheroo. For its part, RIM has called the move a sheer publicity stunt. Hey, why can’t it’s both?
