Yeah, it finally comes out after being rumored for few weeks. Dell Mini 3i was unveiled during a China Mobile event in Beijing yesterday and now comes with better pictures. The Mini 3i is a GSM only mobile phone supported by 2G networks and doesn’t support 3G networks. In addition unlike what have been reported before, the phone runs on Open Mobile System Ophone 1.0, a China Mobile’s proprietary infrastructure that combines Android with TD-SCDMA (China’s home-grown 3G standard). Other specs, there’s no physical keyboard and no wi-fi. Currently there’s no official announcement both in China Mobile or Dell China website either the price and availability of the phone
Looking at the pictures of the phone it really looks like an iPhone both physically and also the user menu icon layout. The Mini 3i has a 3.5 inch touchscreen with 360×640 resolution or a bit lower than iPhone: 3.5 inch screen with 320×480 resolution. However compared to Palm Pre, the phone has a larger screen. Besides it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, a 950mAh battery, a mini USB port and a microSD expansion slot.
I read some websites wrote a bad impression about the phone. Even it’s said that Dell unable to find a carrier in the US for the device so that’s why it comes to China. But i strongly believe that Dell have a big plan for the future like what they have done with the PC. This could be a great start since according to the rumor we reported few weeks ago, there’s not just one but several. Dell is not a small company and it has power to give surprise to other players like iPhone, HTC and Palm.
