While handset manufacturers have been selling devices unlocked straight to consumers for some time now, Google really made it popular with the recent launch of the Nexus One. Well, with talks of Dell bringing their Mini 3 to the North American market, questions arose over whether they’d do the same.

Gizmodo reports that during a recent Dell sit down at this year’s CES they were quoted to have said that they “may” and “can” sell free unlocked Mini 3s through AT&T and that they will continue to experiment with the idea in the future.

So what have you, would you buy a Mini 3 from AT&T if it came unlocked?
