The Dell Mini 3i, which launched this summer in China, has gone all Marvel Comics on us and joined the X-Men. The Dell Mini 3iX is the exact same device aesthetically, but instead of running oPhone, the Chinese version of Google Android, this puppy runs good old fashioned Android, albeit with a crazy skin. Not only that, but the WiFi and 3G which were noticeably absent in the Chinese variant, have found their way back into the X-Men model. Why is this thing in Brazil? No one knows. When will it come out in the US? Apparently Q1 2010 if targets are achieved.
Specification sheet rundown for those who forgot:
- 3.5 inch screen, 640 x 360 pixel resolution, though only 262k colors
- GPS
- WiFi, 3G on the 850, 1900 and 2100 MHz bands
- 3 megapixel camera
- microSD card slot
- 122 mm x 58 mm x 11.7 mm; 103 grams
More photos of the tweaks Dell has done to Android can be found here. They’ve added a virtual T9 keyboard, changed all the colours around, and, as seen above, have made the icons look like something out of a terribly programmed audio visualization plugin from the 90s.
