A range of phones
rather than a single device, Dell Mini 3 marks this PC maker's debut into the smartphone market, following Apple, HP, Toshiba and many others.
Initially, the Dell Mini 3 range will consist of just two handsets on two different carriers - one on China Mobile, and one for the Claro network in Brazil. These may seem like odd networks to partner with, but China Mobile is the biggest mobile network worldwide with around half a billion subscribers, and Claro itself has 40 million subscribers in Brazil.
Cynics may argue that the choice of Brazil and China means that potential customers might not be put off by Dell's appalling reputation for terrible customer service (which is so bad that sometimes they break the law). But Dell aren't alone in having poor business practices, a complaint that can also be squarely made against Apple.
