Dell and Baidu, the Chinese search giant hinted to a possible collaboration for the launch of the first smartphone to run the Yi operating system.

 

Although details on the collaboration were scarce it appears that the first results have just been spotted at FCC, the Dell Streak V04B, which is also known as Softbank Pro 101DL.

 

The smartphone has just won approval for the 1,700 MHz WCDMA radio and will probably make its debut in early 2012.

 

According to the folks over at Engadget the smartphone will be introduced in China tomorrow for a suggested retail price of $475 (360 EUR).

 

The smartphone is said to sport a 4.3-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that boasts 540 x 960 pixels resolution, a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 8GB of ROM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
