Dell smartphone komt naar Vodafone
China in november, Brazilie in december, overige landen volgen in 2010.
Dell is entering the smartphone market, with its first device to launch in China in late November, followed by Brazil toward the end of the year.
In addition to running on Android software, the Mini 3 is based on the OPhone platform, a lower-cost technology developed by chipmaker Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
A source had told Reuters in October that Dell plans to sell a phone in the United States on AT&T Inc’s network.
Dell said the Mini 3 will be targeted at the consumer market rather than enterprises. China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile carrier by subscribers, and America Movil’s Claro will carry the phone.
In a blog post, Dell said it was launching in China and Brazil because of their large subscriber bases and because of existing telecom partnerships in those countries.
Dell noted it has existing agreements with other telecom providers, including AT&T and Verizon in the United States and Vodafone in Europe, which will create more opportunities for the company.
