The formerly Chinese-exclusive Dell Mini 3i Android smartphone is headed to the US, says CrunchGear, with the phone hitting American shores before the end of the year.
The source says the phone will likely be upgraded however, before it is released in the US, as the Chinese version felt "cheap." Among the upgrades will be a 5MP camera, compared to the current 3MP camera.
Somewhat surprisingly, the Android stack for the Mini is missing a few key libraries and therefore many current apps do not work.
