Dell Mini 3i unboxed in China, capacitive stylus included

One lucky Chinese blogger was kind enough to share his Dell Mini 3i unboxing experience beyond the Great Firewall, just a tad before Dell officially announced their first-ever smartphone. What’s interesting is that the China Mobile version comes with a special stylus for the capacitive touchscreen — a very handy tool for writing Chinese — but there’s been no mention of this accessory for the Brazilian 3iX. Dell’s also bundled a 3.5mm adapter for the mini-USB port in case their handsfree isn’t good enough for your audiophilic ears. Yeah, too bad about the missing headphone jack, but don’t let this deter you from checking out the Mini 3i’s full glory after the break.

Motorola’s MT710 OPhone for China makes us dream of Droids without keyboards

While it’s busy trying to rebuild market share on the backs of Android-powered devices in North America and Europe, Motorola’s already got a bustling business in China, so it makes sense that they’d want to contribute some Google juice over there as well. That dovetails nicely with China Mobile’s Android-based Open Mobile System — which runs those so-called OPhones — and Motorola has yet to bring an OPhone to market, so that’s where this little beast appears poised to come into play. The MT710 is said to feature an 854 x 480 display clocking in at 3.7 inches and 3G support (using China Mobile’s up-and-coming TD-SCDMA network), but beyond that, little is known; rumor has it that Motorola will intro a total of seven Android models in China over the next year, though, and this is clearly one of them. Shave three or four millimeters off the Droid’s girth with this puppy, and count us in.
