It would appear those leaked and unintentional early peeks at Dell’s first foray into smartphones did not happen in Brazil and China by accident. Hans Erickson of Dell Latin America has announced the decision to “give priority” to those two countries, who will be first to experience the Mini 3i’s Android glory, with China receiving devices “in the coming days” and Brazil getting ‘em later this year. Interestingly, China Mobile will be making do without 3G, while Brazil’s Claro will be offering a 3G-enabled handset. Dell remains mum on pricing and the rest of the spec, though all the information so far indicates that Brazilians will be able to buy the same WiFi-packing FCC-certified 3iX handset that’s heading to the US. Either way, we’ve got another heavyweight’s presence in the smartphone market, and we’ll be even happier once we know what Dell’s value-add will be.
