Some pictures and a video demo of the upcoming Android MID, called Dell Streak, taken from a Vietnamese site.

• Android 2.0;

• 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash;
• Bluetooth;
• microSD;
• 1300 m

The much rumored Dell Mini 3i phone has has landed on China Mobile's network. It's a 2G candibar handset positioned as a part of the carrier's new Application Platform that offers music, video, and app downloads to mobile phones from Nokia, Samsung, LG, and Dell. The device also lacks WiFi, but does come with a decent set of other features:

• 3.5" 360 x 640 capacitive touchscreen;
• Android-based Open Mobile System (OMS);
• 3Mpix camera;
• microSD slot;
• Bluetooth;
• 950mAh battery

Curently there's no infor on whether it will be released anywhere else.

Some new spy shots of the upcoming Dell Mini 3i smartphone have been spotted recently. The first images we've seen back in June look similar to these, so we guess they were real deal. The new ones show off the phone's customized Android interface to be used on China Mobile.

And these specs were posted at the BGR site:

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE class 12;
• Size: 68.

According to BGR, this is one of the Android smartphones from Dell that will be launched later this year. Yes, there will be several handsets of both 2G and 3G classes. Unfortunately, we can't give you the name of the device on the pic just yet, but stay tuned for more details.

The Nokia E63 may lack such important features like 3G support and GPS, but it doesn't matter that much when you consider Dell's offering. The said retailer is selling the handset for just $198.39 with free shipping. Isn't that a killer deal?

According to Shaw Wu, a Research Analyst from Kaufman Brothers, Dell will be releasing a new smartphone later this year. Dell already has a PDA line-up called Axim, and has apparently been working on its first smartphone for 2 years already, not to mention that some time ago they also hired a former Motorola executive to head their consumer division.

Stay tuned for more details.

Dell has introduced its latest Pharos Traveler 619 smartphone today. Available for pre-order now for $199.95. Looks like nothing special to me:

• 2.8" VGA touchscreen;
• Full QWERTY keyboard;
• 2Mpix camera;
• 3.5G support;
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE;
• GPS;
• Windows Mobile 6;
• Bluetooth/Wi-Fi

Two new Dell Pharaos phones have showed up for a short while at the company's website yesterday. Quick thinkers had enough time copy the photos before they were removed from the site. The phones that were on display were the Traveller 127 with a QWERTY keyboard and the 117 model with a touchscreen display. Other features include:

• 7.

Dell will be entering the smartphone market in 2008.

And this seems to be the only way for the PC manufacturer to expand hits business. The company will officially announce its entrance at the Mobile World Congress early next year with a new WM6-based smartphone.
