Carphone Warehouse to flog Dell boxes

DELL WILL START selling PCs through Carphone Warehouse's 800 UK High Street shops, it said yesterday.

That means Dell will go head to head with the few remaining High Street shops which sell PCs, such as Currys - formerly Dixons.

It's not clear yet how Dell will supply Carphone Warehouse or whether the big phone chain will keep stock.

Carphone has already got a deal to supply a "free" Dell laptop on its web site here.
