Dell Mini 5 to AT&T, looking good

dell-mini-5-internet-tablet-10Dell’s Mini 5, which houses a 5″ inch screen, is definitely going to be turning up on AT&T’s network and may also be headed to T-Mobile – or so the MWC buzz claims. And while it was previously thought that device may ship with Android 1.6, Dell has now proclaimed that “something newer” will power the phone/MID. Most are suspecting that “something newer than 1.6″ means Android 2.1.

As you can see in the iGizmo vid after the jump, the “phone” looks incredibly large in the hand. Or is that guy just really tiny? Will that thing even fit in my front pocket? It seems like MID is more appropriate terminology here, but events at MWC seem to have everyone rethinking that characterization and looking at the beast as a cell phone. This one will handle video calling with its front-facing camera and features pins that communicate with a HDMI-out-equipped dock. As you can see, it looks like a capable video player:

I'm definitely looking forward to see how this is at launch. If Dell get's it right, which I don't see why they wouldn't, I'll be getting myself an Android powered MID.

Weather or not T-Mobile picks this up remains to be seen... but it won't matter!!!! The director of Dell's Tablet division himself, during a demo given to Slashgear at MWC said that there WOULD be a AWS 3G version brought to market. Even if this phone goes unsubsidized, it will still work with T-Mobile and will be worth every penny!!!!!
