Quick List of Upcoming Androids
Google’s Android operating system is currently the most talked about mobile platform. With the announcement of version 2.2 Froyo at the recent Google I/O conference, we got to see the amazing new features, speed improvements and even Flash compatibility on this open source OS.
The only thing now is actually buying an Android smart phone that tickles our fancy, and with the current choices available from HTC, Sony and more, there is certainly a lot to be happy about. But if none of these existing devices excite you, then you might want to read about upcoming Android smart phones and see if on suits your tastes.
The first big name on the list is the Dell Streak. It is already coming out at the end of the week so for any upcoming phone listings, this entry offers the least amount of waiting. Still, there is much more to the Streak than just an early release date, it runs on a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, has a 5 mega pixel camera and a whopping 5 inch capacitive touch screen display.
But if going big is not your thing, then you might want to size down with Sony Ericsson’s X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro. Both of these smart phones come with a neat little 2.55 inch TFT touch screen display and a decent 600MHz CPU. The Pro comes with an extra treat: a slide out QWERTY keyboard perfect for those who love typing on their phones.
Speaking of Sony Ericsson, the Japanese Swedish joint venture has let it known that they have another Android smart phone coming soon and the next one will be using their impressive Walkman technology. We’re expecting a device that is about the size of the X10 Minis, but with a little more hardware power under the hood.

The Dell Mini 3 is Finally Leaving Asia
The Dell Mini 3 has already been released in Asia. It has yet to be made available in other markets but Dell has plans for it to be soon. They have already selected telecom providers to distribute the phone in many places in the world. They include AT&T (United States), China Mobile (China), Vodafone (New Zealand, Europe and Australia), Starhub and M1 (Singapore), Maxis (Malaysia) and Claro (Brazil).
The Mini 3 is a 3G phone on the Android platform. It has a 3.5 HD widescreen, touch screen display, handwriting recognition, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, Bluetooth connectivity, built-in GPS, Mini USB port and multi touch UI. Individuals can add up to 32 GB of memory via the phone’s MicroSD card slot. The handset weights 103 grams and has the following measurements, 58 x 122 x 11.7mm.
The Dell Mini 3 is a nice, attractive phone. Its’ specs are good. It’s fast and runs on the most coveted and seemingly hottest platform, the Android. There has been some talk that the specs will be changed when the phone reaches other markets. Some contend that as is, the phone won’t be very competitive in other parts of the world such as Europe and the United States. The reviews of the Asian-version of the phone have been mixed. Some people have high opinions of it, while others do not.
One pretty cool feature, though it’s not particularly unique anymore, is the phone’s social networking integration. Users will be able to check and update their Facebook and Twitter pages. Individuals that are high involved in social networking sites such as the ones listed above will appreciate this, though this isn’t one of the phone’s best features, it is a good one and one that is becoming much more common.
As it is, it seems that the Dell Mini is a pretty decent phone, though there is some doubt that it will be able to compete in the price range that it is asking in countries outside of Asia. Because of this, there is some speculation regarding what the phone will look like when it is made available in other countries. This information will likely be released closer to those launch dates.

Dells Mini 3 to be released in China and Brazil
Once upon a time, Dell was very prominent in the mobile phone field, until smart phones started to shove out the conventional phones. Dell combated this by designing their very own Smart Phone, and have just announced its release in China and Brazil next year at some point. Assuming Dell follow the traditional naming conventions, the Dell mini is supposed to come complete with a 3 inch screen. Using a 2.0 megapixel camera, you can easily edit and transform your pictures on a screen that size.
Dell have stated that the phone will have hardware relevant to where it is in the world. For instance Brazil does not have good 3G technology, so the phone has not been built with 3G technology. This means you do not have the access to fast internet and checking emails like you would if you had 3G, but Dell have tried to compensate by using other fairly fast internet software.
Whilst Dell have released no official specifications, touch screen features have been admitted, although to what extent we are not sure yet. Dell have also confirmed the phone will have photo, video and sound technology, although to what limits no one is sure, but you can be pretty sure this includes taking videos and accompanying a sound file with it.
The Chinese verson will come with 3G capabilities, and this will give you very fast internet speed, as well as quick connectivity to thins such as checking your email addresses. Although it is very likely that the phone will be released in the USA end Europe, many people speculate that Dell are waiting to see what sales figures are like in China and Brazil before releasing Dell Mini 3 deals in Europe and the USA.

Dell Officially Launches Its Set of Mini 3 Smart Phones
I am pleased to announce that Dell has now returned to its Pocket PC business, which it gave up some few years ago, and now back with a bang. They are now trying to cover lost ground. Its now official: Dell has perfected plans to release a range of smart phones which will be sold under the brand name Dell Mini 3.Taking a look at Dell’s naming principle, which takes screen size into consideration, one can conveniently affirm that these new Dell smart phones will have 3 inch screens.
One cannot really predict future Dell smart phones instead only hypothesis can be made since no hardware specification of the new phones was announced to the public. Dell further confirmed that their new devices would be made available to all stores nationwide. They are inadvertently trying to tow the line of their computer marketing strategies.
Although rumors on Dell smart phones have been spreading over the past couple of months, one can’t really predict the features of this new smart phone. The Dell Mini3i was even spotted some few months ago at an event hosted by China Mobile although it was tagged only ”a proof of concept” back then. But today it is just more than a concept.
China Mobile is the first company around the world to obtain the license for its use. The world’s largest mobile operator will run a version of Dell Mini3 that will use the OPhone OS (the well known Andriod OS with some specialized customizations) and is scheduled for release before the end of next month.
