Mr. Blurry Cam is in the hospital after being beat up by Apple employees for posting photos of the new iPhone before it was announced, but luckily his wife, Mrs. Image Stabilization, is taking his place. She is in China and has snapped some clear photos of Dell’s first entry into the smartphone market. The Mini 3i is powered by the Chinese version of Android called oPhone and has a 3.5 inch capacitive touch screen with 360 x 640 resolution. It has a 3 megapixel camera, but unlike modern smartphones it lacks WiFi or 3G. Whether or not this device will come out in Europe and America is unknown at the current moment, but if I was a gambling man, I’d bet we’re going to see Android powered smartphones from Dell in the first half of 2010. Six more photos after the jump.
