Finally. After 1,999 different rumors over the last 5 years, Dell has finally launched a phone. It was on display in China for the launch of China Mobile’s new Application Platform that offers music, video, and app downloads to mobile phones.

The 3.5-inch 360 x 640 pixel device with capacitive touchscreen was on display in China running the Android-based Open Mobile System (OMS). The Mini 3i was on-hand as part of the launch of China Mobile’s new Application Platform that offers music, video, and app downloads to mobile phones from Nokia, Samsung, LG, and apparently, Dell. The candybar device lacks WiFi (or Chinese WAPI) and is strictly 2G GSM (no 3G) but does come with a 3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth, and 950mAh battery.

This is part of a launch in China, so really not much use for us in the US, but it brings hope (for me at least) that Dell might bring something to the US someday. To be honest, I was skeptical. All the rumors over the years that turned up dry had me convinced that Dell would never launch a phone, or Tablet PC.

Yes, there are few pictures posted in Engadget that shows the new Smartphone from Dell. And it will be using Android, so Dell said bye bye to Windows Mobile and joined Google’s club.
