Dell Venue Pro to be launched in January 2011

Venue Pro is the latest Smartphone to be launched at the stat of this new year, it is also Dell’s first launch in a while after is earlier product Axim didn’t do that well in the PDA market a few years ago. Dell’s latest invention runs on the Windows 7 mobile technology. Anticipation is high in the market for its release, it’s also has an unusual QWERTY keypad that slides downwards.

Venue Pro can be seen as a multi-purpose phone that keeps people connected. It is aimed at the business market especially for people who like to carry their work on the go.

Venue Pro is quite big actually, although its specification indicate that its not bigger than Htc 7 but if u slide down the QWERTY keypad you will understand what we are talking about. Hence we can easily assume that it not phone people can carry in a pocket. The Slide works brilliantly on the QWERTY and the keys are well placed for a comfortable use. But the size is not bad at all actually; the large touch screen display gives value to the Windows 7 interface that is very well spread out for easy access for its unlimited features.

This phone will also offer a wide range of facilities that we usually expect from a windows mobile like Xbox live entertainment ,outlook integration from your office, free Zune pass and of course the MS Office pack. 

Besides the special specification Venue pro also has some regular features like the 3.5MM jack output for headphone, USB 2.0 connectivity for easy access and also the Wi-Fi and GPS features. Although Dell has maintained that the phone is for regular people who like to stay connected and have entertainment on the go, we believe that it will attract the business segment more easily give the fact it is priced at close to 500 £ !
