China Mobile will soon become the first mobile operator to sell Dell’s new Mini 3i mobile handset that was announced earlier this month. The handset is designed to leverage the flexibility and applications of China Mobile's new OPhone and Mobile Market platforms. The Mini 3i is the result of a year-long collaboration with China Mobile and further illustrates Dell’s ongoing investment in smarter and more mobile products.

Another version of the handset for another part of the globe will incorporate Google’s Android platform. The handset features -
  • a 3.5-inch widescreen with a 640 x 360 resolution
  • EDGE
  • GPS
  • Bluetooth, USB 2.0 (mini)
  • 3 megapixel auto-focus camera with zoom and flash
  • MicroSD card support up to 32GB
“People today want to carry their lives with them – they want to discover, capture and share new content as they roam around the world,” said Michael Yang, vice president and general manager for Greater China Consumer of Dell. “We believe Dell’s year-long development collaboration with China Mobile will amplify those experiences better than anyone else in the industry.”

Available in Red Passion and Oiled Bronze colors, the Mini 3i will begin arriving through China Mobile’s nation-wide channels (its authorized stores) by the end of this month and Dell direct to follow. Pricing has not yet been revealed.
