Dell Mini 3i will launch to US market
The American multinational company Dell would launch an Android smartphone in partnership with AT&T for next year, the Dell Mini 3i.
Rumor has it that Dell will bring the Mini 3i to the U.S. in the next few months to compete with other Android phones coming down the pike from HTC, Samsung, and Motorola.
The phone, presumably still in its Chinese trade dress, felt “cheap and plasticky, like the Pre,” according our tipster. He believes it will be upgraded for the American market.
The phone has better hardware than the Chinese version and a slightly better camera – probably 5-megapixel over the Chinese 3-megapixel. It is slimmer than the iPhone and the interface mimics, as seen from this photo, the iPhone’s icon-based launcher UI.
Dell is said to be messing with Android’s internals for some reason, making some apps incompatible, though we can’t imagine what purpose that would serve other than customer frustration.
The phone is said to be thinner than the iPhone, though with a similar icon list and feels “plasticky, like the Palm Pre,” which would be fairly in line with the Chinese model.
Apparently the second largest PC maker and AT&T also would consider introducing a MID (Mobile Internet Device) during the next year.
