Rumor: Dell Streak Successor Opus One, Dual-Core CPU and 5-inch HD Screen

James — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 02:19:42 +0000

People like rumors and so do i. And this time we’ll bring the Dell Opus One, successor to the 5-inch Android Dell Streak, to the rumor mill. This came from Streak Smart blog said that someone who attended a private presentation hosted by OEM Dell. According to the source, the Dell Opus One is due out in May 2011.

The device is said to come with the same screen size with previous Dell Streak which is 5-inch but with higher resolution of 1280 x 800 and 1.2 GHz dual-core processor.

So, despite the accuracy of this info you probably still remember how long did it take for Dell to bring the Streak out. Could the same thing happened to this “Opus One” too? So, don’t really hope to much.

Dell Mini 3i Smartphone Unveiled, Not Really Android

James — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:20:39 +0000

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.

James — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:09:38 +0000

If the info is accurate the Dell Android smartphone could be launched or at least unveiled this week. According to Michael Arrington as reported by Techcrunch on August 9, Dell is going to announce a mobile phone in China in the next day or two which means today or tomorrow. I have checked to Dell China website but there’s no announcement regarding this smartphone yet so far. So probably sometimes this week, let’s wait and see.

The Dell Android smartphone first picture was leaked few weeks ago but there’s no specs about the phone at that time. Then the rumors was continued with the info reported by WSJ about the upcoming smartphone from Dell. However this could be to early since it was rumored that the smartphone is going to hit the market at the end of this year. So if this is true, Dell could be announce it only. We’ll keep you update when new info is coming.

WSJ reported that “Dell has also been developing several Android-based smartphones that it plans to start selling later this year”.

The MID it self which also will be based on Android OS is designed to be the competitor for the Apple iPod Touch. It’s reportedly similar to the iPhone but without cellphone capabilities. Dell may begin selling the device later this year. However the plan could be delayed or scrapped entirely.
