The Dell Mini 3iX packs GSM 850/1900 and UNTS bands so all that’s really needed is a combined announcement from AT&T and Dell. The FCC also confirms that the Mini 3iX has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The documents don’t confirm any other details, such as form factor, operating system or other specs. The Dell Mini 3iX has some stiff competition. Hopefully that will mean a cheaper price point.
