Dell Mini 3T1 Heading to China Mobile

Evan Selleck — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:59:33 +0000

Who needs more Android-powered handsets in their lives? We know we sure do. That’s why when we look at a phone like the Dell Mini 3T1, we accept it with warm, open arms. Even if it does look like some kind of rejected handset from the turn of the century. This looks like it’s going to be Dell’s second Android handset, and we welcome the addition, especially considering it won’t be going to AT&T.

You can’t get away from the fact that this handset isn’t the most attractive piece of gadgetry on the market. But, we expect that has a lot to do with the fact that Dell is probably going to petition this device as a cheap substitute for its first Android-based handset. The 3T1 features TD-SCDMA and, right there at the top-left above the display, you can see China Mobile’s logo, so that’s all but a certainty. Hopefully that means the largest Chinese mobile carrier will launch the Android device sooner than later.

There’s a 2MP camera on the back, and it’s likely featuring Android, but that’s not actually confirmed. However, China likes to adapt Android to their own standards, and that in turn creates oPhone, and it’s a Dell. So, our bet is definitely on Android. There’s also no word on pricing, but we suggest it’s not going to be that expensive. And lastly, no final word on pricing, either. As soon as we know more, so will you.
