We estimate that the mobile phones company constitutes 3% from the $17 Trefis cost estimate for Dell’s stock. Beneath we discuss our expected pricing and marketplace reveal trends for Dell’s mobile company.

Dell plans to a launch a series of wise phones in 2010, of which ‘Streak’ has been priced at close to $500. We estimate the cost for Dell’s other wise phones to be within the range of $400 to $500 for 2010, and forecast an average value of $450 for Dell wise phones in 2010.
