We’ve kind of avoided the Dell Smartphone rumor thing for sometime, but now high rez pics of the handset have surfaced, so ignore we can no more.  The Dell Mini 3i packs a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, 3 megapixel camera, microSD card slot and is chalk full of the Android OS.  It looks like it’s heading off to China first and foremost, and if it proves to be anything like Dell’s attempt at an iPod, I wouldn’t expect to see it hit US shores…ever.

It’s official: Nokia will ship the N97 to 75 countries this June.  There’s still no official word on price or actual launch dates, but we’re hearing about $700 in the US.  Initially, the phone will be sold unsubsidized and unlocked, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a carrier eventually picked it up.

LG had a fumble today when they accidentally posted early pics of the yet to be announced LG Viewty II.  Also leaked was the phone’s alternate name, the LG Viewty Smart GC900 as well as its features set, which includes a 3-inch WVGA touchscreen, S class 3D interface, 8 megapixel camera with geotagging and Xenon flash, microSD card slot, built-in WiFi, a-GPS and accelerometer.  Yup, all this and it’s just 12.4mm thick.

Sorry, no word on an official release date, but since LG’s blog posted then removed the info hours later, it’s probably safe to say we’ll see it in the next few days if not weeks.
