Dell Radio ???? What it is ????

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I am hearing a lot of radio commercials concerning a company called Dell
Radio. They say to log on to dellradio.com. I have tried this, but come
up with nothing. As far as I can tell, there is no website called
dellradio.com.


Two questions:



1. Does Dell Computer company also sell radios ? If so, what is their
website address?

2. If Dell Computer does NOT sell radios, does anyone have any idea why
they are advertising a website called dellradio.com, when apparently
there is no such website ??


Thanks !!

There is a website www.dellradio.com it automaticlly redirects you to
http://www1.us.dell.com/content/default.aspx?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd which is
the small business site.

dellradio.com website at http:/www.dellradio.com which will
redirect you to a real Dell page.

Don't think so, but I'm guessing [don't listen to radio that much
nowadays, and have never heard a Dell commercial of any sort on
the radio] that they /do/ advertise their computers on the radio.
For your second question #1, see Vijay Kumar's separate response,
and mine to your question #2 [which this time, unlike item #1,
actually contains only one question ;->] below.

If you notice, most of their TV ads show the web address as
www.dell.com/tv [note the "/tv"]. That gets a redirect to a page
[said redirected location based I presume on the TV ads currently
running] headlined "AS SEEN ON TV". What do you want to bet that
if I try www.dell.com/radio [note the "/radio"], I'll land at a
similar page, possibly headlined "AS HEARD ON RADIO"?

[If you had taken the bet, you'd have won. I did get a redirect,
to a Dell page on Walkie-Talkies apparently based on a mail
campaign since they asked for the PIN from the mailing label to
proceed and find out how I can get a second walkie-talkie.
Apparently you *were* supposed to use http://www.dellradio.com to
find out about the computers being advertised on radio.]

OJ:


This is a lot of jabber to answer 2 simple questions. Dell Computer may
(or may not) sell a few radios, I just wondered why they had commercials
promoting their pc products, saying they are sold at dellradio.com.
Their is not such website which sells RADIOS.

I suspect the URL is promoted so that Dell can attempt to measure response
to their radio advertising - as well as TV ads promoting their "TV" URL.....

Just a guess.

For reasons that no one can explain, dellradio.com is not accessible without
the preceeding "www."

WTF?:

Are you sure the commercials weren't for Delcom Radio? HTTP://WWW.DELCOM-RADIO.COM?
