It’s a bold move on the 23rd of the month to say we are shipping soon, by the end of the month as it doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room. The Dell Mini 3i must be locked and loaded, ready to explode onto the scene in China where the phone will debut. China Mobile let loose some interesting specs about the phone.

The Dell Mini 3i runs China Mobile’s OPhone open source OS and comes loaded with localized 139Mail e-mail, Fetion chat and digital maps. The phone does not feature a 3G radio. The Mini 3i will come in fashionable Passion Red or Oiled Bronze, hot right?
