Dell’s Mini 5 is making the rounds at Mobile World Congress and Carrypad caught it on camera<\/a>. Interestingly, the device was only held by the Dell representative, who gave a run down on the device. When I first heard about the Mini 5, I\u00a0didn’t expect the device to offer cellular voice capabilities<\/a>, but based on the video, it sounds like it will when paired with a Bluetooth headset. That makes sense since you probably<\/em> don’t want to hold that 5″ display next to your face. The Dell rep indicated a screen resolution of 800 x 400 for the display, but that doesn’t sound right. I suspect it’s actually 800 x 480 or 854 by 480. 720p video playback looks solid on the device although with the screen resolution, true 720p video has to be scaled down.<\/p>\n

Powering the Mini 5 is the same Qualcomm 1 GHz Snapdragon found in my Nexus One, so from a performance standpoint, I’d expect it to be comparable, although the amount of memory in the Mini 5 could vary the experience. Dell decided to emulate HTC a little by adding a custom user interface that rides atop the stock Android experience. It’s difficult to evaluate the UI with just a few minutes of observation, but it’s clear that Dell is taking advantage of Android’s widget support. I also noticed a port on the bottom that could be for docking, but no mention was made of such a peripheral.<\/p>\n
