Dell Mini 3i Android Phone Gets Official China Mobile to Launch Dell Mini โ€ Later This Monthโ€

Dell has realized this year that it can t miss out on the smartphone
business especially with a hot OS like Android available out there. And
the company has been busy developing an Android handset for the Chinese
market. The Dell Mini 3i isn t a secret anymore and earlier today it
became official. According to the press release, the Dell Mini 3i will
be available later this month and China Mobile is the carrier that will
launch it.
China Mobile is a powerful carrier in China and, with 500 million
subscribers, it s the largest mobile operator in the world. No wonder
that Dell wants a piece of that action. So what does the Mini 3i have to
offer? Here s the official specs list of the device:
China Mobile OPhone OS (custom Android version)
Quadband GSM/EDGE
3G support
3.5-inch touchscreen
3-megapixel camera with zoom, auto-focus, flash and video capture
Bluetooth
microSD support for up to 32GB of storage
miniUSB port

Consumer of Dell had this to say about the phone:
People today want to carry their lives with them " they want to
discover, capture and share new content as they roam around the world.
We believe Dell s year-long development collaboration with China Mobile
will amplify those experiences better than anyone else in the industry.
He might be right about the way people see smartphones today and that
seems to be an indication that Dell will not make phones only for China.
In fact we already know that the company is going to launch a Dell Mini
3i version in the USA and other markets. But that version hasn t been
officially announced yet and we might not even see it in stores this year.
The Dell Mini 3i doesn t have a price yet, so all those China Mobile
subscribers will have to wait until their carrier announces them later
this month.
