savramesh 37 Report post Posted August 19, 2009 Techtree News Staff, Aug 18, 2009 1025 hrs IST A 2G network GSM Phone which lacks WiFi Last week, we saw a whiff of speculation winds brought information about Dell's Chinese smartphone dubbed Mini 3i. Now, Dell's Chinese handset Mini 3i has seen the bright light but with lower specifications and images captured by Chinese site NetEase. New Dell Mini 3i is a 2G network supporting GSM phone that lacks 3G support and WiFi capabilities. No word was available on phone's availability and pricing. Dell Mini 3i runs Android OS-based Open Mobile System customized for China that incidentally is part of China Mobile's new Application Platform for Mobile Market, the app store just like several other mobile app stores. Apparently, the Mobile Market site www.mmarket.com was expected to launch yesterday but it still shows 'Mobile Market Coming Soon'. Dell Mini 3i has 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen offering 320x640 pixel resolution, 3.2 megapixel camera, two volume keys, miniUSB interface, microSD slot, Bluetooth and 950mAh battery. The hardware specifications look decent enough for 3G network and it's quite surprising that Dell didn't go for that. Though it's a 2G phone, we don't expect it to be cheaper than current 3-inch touchscreen phones with 3.2 megapixel camera. Even the mobile OS has been customized for China so it might take a while to be available to other countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
