Before: Dell Inspiron Mini Netbook After: Giant Dell Mini 3i

So this guy buys a Dell Inspiron Mini 10.1-inch netbook but either isn’t happy at its lack of cellular coverage, or just has a severe phone fixation and decides to rip it apart and turn it into a Dell Mini 3i phone, complete with Android-based OS.

Here’s a pic (below) of the real Dell Mini 3i with OPhone OS– not a bad copy at all, although the mod seems to be slightly larger.

Check out the video below to see how it was done. Not within the capability of your average user, and in fact getting Android to run on a netbook is no mean feat, but very cool nevertheless.

my hope with the Droid V2 they increase the siz at least 1" high and 1" wide.

I'd actually prefer a much larger phone as long as i could dial from bluetooth using voice and just leave the phone 'in the bag' if you knwo what i mean.

Isn't it a fake???

The clicking at 1:10 was slower than its responding..
And there is many mis-timing clicking after that...

BPhone 5-inch Convertible Tablet Phone
Babiken GPS WIFI UMPC Mobile Phone B105
Multimedia Qwerty Keypad GSM Cell Phone MID

As the technology develops, a lot of different devices are being integrated with a smaller and smaller size. When you see this device, you might ask what is this. It is a UMPC (tablet PC), MID (mobile internet device), a TV set, a GPS navigator or a mobile phone. The manufacturer from China has introduced yet another unique gadget, a result from a complex smashup. Known as the BPhone (or CoolBphone), this cell phone is a 5-inch convertible tablet phone. Although they said it’s a cell phone, I’m looking at a tablet PC that comes complete with QWERTY keyboard and it is more than that as it has wifi, GPS etc. This phone does have TV function but it is Chinese CMMB digital TV and you can not use this feature in other countries.
