Its called the “Mini 3i”, consistent with Dell’s small form-factor naming convention and bound (so-far) only for china. Not much more to report than Boy Genius reported the other day, but is running android (Redmond must be concerned) and in a pretty Maroon color (not really my cup of tea).

Dell close to releasing smartphone? Hell finally freezing over?

Going back to the Dell Axim (Circa 2004), and reinforced by the legions of Motorola exiles who arrived to save Dell’s Consumer business, rumors of a Dell smartphone have rung from the hillsides. While Dell and Microsoft are usually tied at the hip on projects such as this, Boy Genius Report reports that they finally have a “launch ready” product. Seems that the product is designed just for the chinese market. Will be interesting if Uncle Mikey greenlights the design for outside the emerging markets
