... for its new application platform. The write-up goes on to say that two volume adjustment keys and a mini USB port are on the left side of the capacitive touchscreen, which has a resolution of 360 by 640. The back of the phone has a large Dell logo, Micro SD card slot, and 3.2Mp camera with what looks an LED light. Still no word on an official release date, but if you're China, it looks like you won't have to wait long. [Mobile-163 (translated) via Cloned in China via Engadget]

Dell Mini 3i smartphone launches in China

... the backlighting. There’s also a microSD card slot, miniUSB port and volume keys, but other than that the Mini 3i is entirely touchscreen-controlled.
A 950mAh battery strikes us a little low for something with such a large touchscreen, but then there’s no power-hungry 3G to drain it. No official word from Dell themselves, but they’re tipped to announce their Mobile Market app store later on today; right now it’s listed as coming soon. [via Cloned in China] ...
Dell Mini 3i smartphone gets official outing in China

... app downloads to mobile phones from Nokia, Samsung, LG, and apparently, Dell. The candybar device lacks WiFi (or Chinese WAPI) and is strictly 2G GSM (no 3G) but does come with a 3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth, and 950mAh battery. Guess now we know why the early prototypes were met by a collective meh by mobile carriers earlier this year. No idea when this will ship but it looks China-bound for at least the near future. A few more pics after the break. [Via Cloned In China] Read -- China Mobile's Application Platform Read -- ...

... touchscreen with a 360 x 640 resolution, a 3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot and a 950mAh battery. Granted, that alone does not sound bad, however the Mini 3i is missing Wi-Fi as well as 3G support, in other words the data connectivity is limited to 2G GSM speeds. As of now, although the handset has been officially unveiled, there was still not any mention as to when China Mobile customers can expect the Mini 3i to become available, or how much it will cost.

Dell Mini 3i smartphone finally launches in China
Unwired View —
... Dell Mini 3i:
The smartphone’s features seem to be identical with the rumored ones, including a 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreen display with 640 x 360 pixels, Bluetooth, 3MP camera, MicroSD card support, and 2G connectivity (no 3G). There’s no Wi-Fi, but there might be GPS in there somewhere.
It’s still not clear when Dell Mini 3i will be available for purchase, and neither for what price.

Dell Mini 3i Makes Debut, Fails At Life
Android Phone Fans —
... going for it, the looks aren’t abysmal. And as always, value depends on price. Dell spokesmen/women/people declined to comment further on the device which was only discussed by China Mobile representatives. I end a lot of articles by saying I’m interested to see where the story goes, but I can’t trick myself into thinking I care about the fate of the Mini 3i.
I hope you all are working on a better Android, dude.

... , but there’s sure to be a smartphone question or two on Dell’s second quarter earnings conference call given the blog chatter . Dell is expected to report another so-so quarter with most analysts anxiously awaiting some transformational acquisition to shift the company’s business toward higher margin endevours (think services). It’s odd that perhaps the most interesting item from Dell—whether the company is serious about a smartphone—will get the least amount (if any) of play. Wall Street will compare Dell to Thomson Reuters earnings estimates of 23 cents a share on revenue ...
