  • Large, bright screen; keyboard is quality, but a little small and fiddly,
  • Curved backplate is awkward; rather chunky design.
  • Windows Phone 7 changes a little from handset to handset, remaining predictable and unskinnable. We aren't sure it's the best fit for consumers. The Dell Venue Pro itself is chunky, but the large screen and mini-keyboard are definite plus points. ...

  • It's too big; Windows Phone is quick but needs to improve; Photos and video could be better; Limited storage
  • Robust build quality and a unique portrait-sliding keyboard give the Dell Venue Pro an edge over its samey Windows Phone competitors, but its pocket-punishing size could prove problematic for some people....

  • Windows Phone 7 handsets have proved to carry a reliable set of features, a bright, clear capacitive touchscreen, at least a five-megapixel camera with flash and dedicated button, and enough processing power to keep your internet browsing smooth.The ph...
