Dell to Release their first Smartphones in Brazil and China

What’s the deal?
Well, it’s no surprise that Dell is offering up a smartphone to its massive and mostly impressive collection of electronics. But what is surprising is this is the second time they are doing it. Earlier in the year, according to PC World back in a May post, the initial project was canceled due to “Lack of interest from carriers.” So they are apparently going to try it again with the release of the “Dell Mini 3.” They are releasing it first in China, through China Mobile, later this month and then in Brazil, with Claro, in the end of December. It is directly because of this lack of interest they have o plans as of yet to release in the US Not to say they won’t, just not until at least the middle or end of 2010, again according to PC World.

What’s Under the Hood?
Not too much is known about the Mini 3 as of yet, but I can tell you that it has a 3.5″ display with 360×640 resolution and in China it’s mobile OS will be based on the oPhone OS which is a variation on Google’s Android platform. All that is known about the phone for Brazil is that it will be based on the Android platform as well, but there are no actual specs as of yet. Dell claims it will “…offer flexibility and customization” of the smartphone, to all involved.

And the Verdict Is?
Again, another Smartphone that will not make it to the US. At least for another year or so. But this time, I really can’t blame them. The US is a very competitive market and if one of the bigger companies don’t pick it up right away, like Verizon or AT&T, it most likely won’t make it here. And until we can get some real specs on it, I really can’t say one way or the other which way you should go with it. So, when I do get some specs, I will update them here and until then-good luck finding one!
