(*Updated below) Dell has been rumored to be working on new smartphones for a while now. Finally, those rumors appear to be true as China Mobile officially showed the new Dell Mini 3I smartphone at a launch event for the company’s new Application Platform. While the specs are a bit on the light side, the phone certainly looks attractive.
The new Dell phone has only a 2G radio, which matches the carrier’s capabilities. The phone also lacks WiFi or China’s WAPI version. On the positives for the phone is a 3.2MP camera, a 3.5″ 360×640 capacitive touchscreen, Micro SD slot. Dell chose to forgo a button on the front of the phone, instead placing buttons on the side of the phone.
The carrier’s launch event promoted applications that could be downloaded to phones by LG, Samsung, Nokia, and now Dell. It seems US’s love of apps is spreading quickly.
No word on pricing or a version bound for other countries yet.
Update: According to PC Mag, Dell is saying the phone was only waved around, not officially announced. From PC Mag:
” Dell spokesman Matt Parretta said, “the only thing that we’re confirming is that we’re in product development with China Mobile,”. “We were there as a development partner for the [Google Android-based] oPhone platform.” ”
