Dell’s first Android phone, the Mini 3i, was originally a China only release. Of course there were rumors that it might find its way to American shores, but they are rumors no more. Michael Dell has come out and said the Mini 3i will be available in the US early in 2010.
Dell mused on the smartphone market in a speech, saying, “The internet in your pocket ... and new platforms that are coming out are pretty interesting. Some of them resemble things that we're pretty familiar with, in terms of open systems and the ability to compete in an open ecosystem. I think you'll begin to see us show up there, gradually.”
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the Mini 3i would be modified to run on AT&T in the US. With Dell’s admission that the phone is indeed headed stateside, it seems likely that AT&T will get their first Android set in Q1 2010.

Somebody needs to take on the Iphone and sure doesn't look like it'll be T-Mobile. Maybe if Android becomes more popular, it'll have all the third-party applications that the Iphone has soon-ish.
Either way, I'm hoping for a smartphone with a 64gb HDD so I can stop taking both my Ipod and my cell everywhere.
