First Dell Mini 3i smartphone to be sold by China Mobile, it's official

23 November, 2009

It's now official that China Mobile will start offering the Dell Mini 3i soon and will be the first to do that. As you know Dell will step on the smartphone market, after a several years gap since they've abandoned the PocketPC market.

As you probably know, Dell recently went ahead and made their Mini 3 official after several years ago they abandoned their PocketPC lineup.

The Chinese Dell Mini 3i will sport a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen with 640x360 pixel resolution, 3 megapixel camera, quad-band GSM/EDGE support, GPS, Bluetooth, miniUSB port and microSD card slot. It's nothing impressive, we know.

The Mini 3i will run on the OPhone OS, which in reality is an Android OS customized with a China Mobile specific features such as their own application store.

Unfortunately, the Mini 3i will not have Wi-Fi and 3G support.

There is no official info on availability (both China and worldwide versions) or pricing, but the launch is supposed to take place before the end of the year.
