  • Abstract:  Dell made a shaky entrance into the Windows Phone 7 market. You had supply issues, quality control issues and software headaches. Slowly but surely these problems are getting ironed out with the Venue Pro but does it leave consumers with a quality Windows...

  • The Dell Venue Pro has to be one of the best designed smartphones from the company, with a very polished looking industrial design. That being said, overall it turned out to be a pretty mediocre phone, thanks to the low camera quality, and average bat...

  • There aren't a lot of reviews that would rank a smartphone as 'Excellent' but the Dell Venue Pro has all the right parts to push it to that level. The phone, when seen in person is just absolutely beautiful. The 4.1 inch screen is one of the lar...

  • Sharp, sleek design, Gorgeous 4.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen, WP7 is gorgeous, Priced right
  • WP7 needs some refinement, Cannot add storage, No tethering support
  • We feel like we end up repeating ourselves somewhere here, but the smartphone market is blossoming in a major way. Every other week or so, we're seeing yet another flagship phone ship from the major players, and while Dell wasn't even a part of this marke...

  • Abstract:  Microsoft seemed ready to take over the mobile world with the launch of Windows Phone 7, but so far we’ve seen only a handful of phones. The Dell Venue Pro ($100 with a two-year contract from T-Mobile) is an affordable yet powerful WP7 offering. It is...
