Hey what do you know? The Dell Mini 5 keeps getting a tad bit better every time we look at it. Today we’ve learned that the that big giant cell phone with a 5-inch screen will have a docking station. If you watch the video below you’ll briefly see the unit docked and a mention of HDMI and USB. The entire video is in Greek so feel free to skip to the very end for the goods.
We can’t wait to hear what kind of price point this thing has and what kind of plans will be available once it’s announced. Does the Dell Mini 5 seem more appealing to you with the idea of running your pictures and video through HDMI?
Dell Mini 5 is Actually A Huge Handset, not a MID
Up until now, we’ve been looking at the Dell Mini 5 as a mobile internet device (MID). We’re going to have change our way of thinking as it’s actually being pitched more as a phone. The feedback we’…
Dell and Android fans should be happy to see this one. The Dell Mini 5 has earned FCC approval with 3G bands needed for AT&T, Rogers, Bell, and Telus 3G. While this has been rumored for a while and Dell officially said they were launching a device for AT&T, this is the first confirmation we have that the device is actually the Dell Mini 5. RF tests reports this as a “mobile internet device” with support for WiFi plus full HSPA on WCDMA bands II and V (that’s the coverage needed by AT&T, Rogers, Bell, and Telus) plus EDGE on the same frequencies. Hopefully we will be getting our hands on this device very soon. Personally, I can’t wait.
For now however, we get to live vicariously through Engadget’s hands-on. There’s a pair ofgalleries and short video up online now. Check back for more as we can get it!

Nexus One With AT&T 3G Bands Found in FCC Filing
Good news for all you AT&T subscribers who held out on getting a Nexus One because of the 3G incompatibility. It appears there is another version on the way! Check out the pictures below and y…
Android seems to be the weapon of choice at CES this year. As the best mobile platform for open source development and modifications, it only makes sense that as many developers as possible would want to get their hands on the OS- and yet, Dell’s Android-powered tablet came way out of left field.
Sporting a 5-inch screen, Dell’s Streakpractically defines medium-scale, falling somewhere between an Archos 5 and a myTouch 3G in terms of size, and as Gizmodo puts it, looking like a large iPod touch. While the device isn’t a phone, the inclusion of a SIM-card slot leads me to believe that you’ll be using a cell provider’s data plan for network service, in a fashion similar to the Nook’s AT&T 3G.
Dell has certainly entered the Android market with a bang by announcing no less than two new entrants at this year’s CES: the 5? Dell Streak and the aptly named Mini 3i. While the 3i looks to be a standard phone handset the Streak could be a tablet sold with or without a carrier. Rumor pegs AT&T as a carrier being that it does have 3G capability via a GSM SIM.
With their newly formed business unit, the Big D may just be ready for the mobile revolution. With shades of the Dell Axim still burned into our memories, do you think the new Android devices will face the same fate? Not likely. Those devices had no differentiation or any specialness but you say these don’t either, right? Possibly, but what Dell does very well is commoditize technology and break down pricing barriers for the masses. Dell will enable anyone who wants an Android device to be able to have one whether it’s sold through a carrier or not.
AT&T has finally added their name to the list of carriers officially on board with Android. Coming not a moment too soon, the nation’s 4th largest carrier announced today that five Android-based handsets are coming in the first half of 2010. Speaking at the 4th annual AT&T Developer Summit in Las Vegas, executives promised phones from HTC, Motorola, and Dell.
The Motorola phone pictured below is all but confirmed as the Backflip, which has been tossed through the rumor mill of late. The Dell handset will be a variation of the Mini 3 that’s been released in other countries. And as for the HTC device… the only thing we know at this point is that it will be an “AT&T exclusive”.
Any AT&T subscribers out there getting excited over the news? Anyone gonna hold off for a few more months to switch to “the nation’s fastest 3G network“?
Dell CEO Michael Dell has confirmed that the Dell smartphones are on schedule. Despite the recent rumors claiming that Dell’s Android phone got canceled by the wireless carriers’s reactions, it seams that we’ll soon see some android phones from Dell.
And another great news is that they will be made by Hon Hai Precision Industry (aka Foxconn Electronics) the same factory that builds Apple’s iPhone so we should expect some sleek looking Dell Android phones
Along with the Android handset Dell plans to launch some WinMobile 6.5 smartphones too. They are all expected later this year or, in the worst case, early next year.
