You might think that this phone is "heavy" or "clunky" but it isn't. I was a little put off by the QWERTY keyboard slider option, but I actually used it more than I thought, especially when on the bus or car. The screen clarity and brightness is amazing. The camera is kind of lackluster, although with the Mango update, you can now tap the screen to take photos allowing you to hold the phone much more still, and this improved photo quality quite a bit. Videos were high resolution, too. The phone never crashed, worked fast, and the integration with Zune is amazing. Am hoping that the Windows Phone OS improves...It has come a long way, but I'd like to see it come a bit farther. Call quality is pretty good. Music through the Zune player on the phone is also good. Netflix and video watching is also very good, too. Biggest drawback -- I can't do banking on my phone (as none of my banks has an app for Windows Phone yet). If you're torn between the Venue Pro and the regular Venue...head over to the Pro. A much more stable phone.
I am totally impressed with this phone. Love it love it. Solid, sturdy, metal and glass, not plastic and rubber. Anyway, the phone is quick, screen is sharp as anything. The interface is SO well done, my outlook, hotmail, text msgs, contacts, MS office, everything is right where I can find it. Love this phone, so glad I bought it. One thing I noticed is that I hardly am using the slide out keyboard yet. I didn't think I would be able to use the touch keyboard but there is nothing to it. The only complaint I have is that if you are watching a video, and you have the phone turned sideways, the speakers are on one end of the phone, so it doesn't really sound like "stereo". Other than that it's cool.
I really love this phone, i got it almost a year ago and still run perfect, full keyboard, emails, twitter, facebook, linkedin, all together in the same profile. i dont change this phone until Dell offer me a new version of it.
The title says it all. If I have ANY thing I wish was improved it would be to increase the battery life. I do have to recharge almost every night but I use it quite a lot & it's on almost 18 hrs/day. The user interface is GREAT! the touchscreen is so smooth it's almot like majic & so well thought out it is totally painless for a long term high use PC guy. Not only is the phone and other apps great but the camera takes execellent pics. another feature I really like is the choice between the slide down physical keyboard & the virtual one. I use both at different times because I can't really decide. The "Newsroom" with weather, sports, entertainment and more is really helpful. The WiFi is also a neat feature; I can access most everythin on the web without my cell minutes, even a nearby printer (check w/user first). Only changes...longer battery life & lower price!
I wasnt an earlier buyer so i never experienced any of the earlier hardware issues, but i imagine its all solved cause i had zero issues with mine... as a former Iphone3 user(wife has iphone4) there simply is no comparison. Its a new concept of UI (metro), very dynamic, and makes the android/iphone "icons' very static... the widget dont come close even after seeing some emulations of WP7 on android phones. Currentlyt running NoDo...and could not be happier. Apps wise... def not as much as iphone, but to me its useless that iphone has so many as everything i use it for(heavy business use) is available. AND A BIG THING.. I DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ITUNES!!!
The Venue Pro brings a world of applications to the palm of your hand. The overall design of the phone, coupled with the ever-growing application resources within, makes this Windows Phone one impressive tool. It blows away my Blackberry and looks better than the IPhone4 (and you get great reception). The Venue Pro is world class to say the least.
Dell Venue Pro (DVP) is incredible fast, 4.1" large, amoled screen is just incredible responsive. Sliding through the menus so smooth and fast. Device looks really nice. Whoever sees it, just being amazed. In the other reviews many users explained the pros and cons. I agree with most of them. Some Additional, PROS: -Radio receiver is very strong. -You will really love to play games on the large, very responsive screen. -WiFi works excellent. -With "ME" interface, you rule windowslive, facebook, twitter etc. at the same time. -Setting of Outlook and other mail accounts easy and works without any problem. -Reboot time is crazy, just 2-3 seconds!!! If you ever used WM5,6.x etc. versions before this should make sense to you! -Sensor located next to the call-speaker works perfect. When you talk, screen becomes dimmed/locked so you do not touch any button with your ear accidentally, and when you move the phone a bit far, screen turns on automatically that you can reach dials button/end talk button etc. CONS: -Battery life could be better for this size phone. Because they could include a bigger size and higher mAh capacity battery in it. -When you quit an application, for example especially radio, music player and podcast, it still appears on the main lock-screen.This is not a DVP issue, more WP7.5 issue actually. Because WP7.5 does not have a button or an option to quit programs completely. I hope they fix this issue in the following updates/upgrades. It is very disgusting to see an application on the lock-screen you already quitted -The earphone set comes with DVP does not provide a good sound quality. Recommend you to use your own headphones with extra-bass feature. -Dell advertises that DVP has COMPASS and GPS. None of the Compass applications worked so far. I did an internet search and realized that, although DVP hardware SUPPORTS COMPASS feature, Dell disabled it with deleting compass driver, when mango was being installed.Dell's Chief Blogger Lionel Menchaca said that "they will not support the compass function"! -GPS! When they advertise they do not say "AGPS", instead they say "GPS". I think everybody who is familiar with high-tech toys knows the difference between those two short definitions. This was one of the main reasons why I bought this phone and sold my HTC HD with a real GPS.DVP has just an A-GPS which means you should have network and data connection to prepare your route and download the map for that specific road. If you change your route, you need to use data again to download and calculate again the route. Dell should clarify these points with their tech specs for DVP. If I didn't sell my HTC and if I don't like to use DVP, just because of these 2 misleading points, I would send this phone back when I realized specs don't seem the same as in tech specs advertised. If we summarize: If compass and GPS are not important for you, I recommend this phone 100%. It is really awesome device.
Great Windows phone, but it can not be connected to A.T & T, which makes it somewhat useless for my purposes.
The Dell Venue Pro is good windows phone, the hardware is awesome, except the camera, the lack of camera quality makes for embarrissing photos. And the camera flash is practically useless, fourtuneately there is a flashlight app to put it work. The 720p video recording produces very stuttered videos. Its such a shame because wp7 os makes it easy to upload photos and videos, but I don't want to upload media that makes me look like I can't use a camera. With that said, I still like the phone. The build quality is spectacular and I refuse to hide its sexy style with an ugly plastic/rubber case (i use dells leather case instead). Windows Phone os is almost great it needs some refining. For example: there is no sound equalizer and great sound is a music lovers pride and joy, but you only get ok or so so sound. If this phone had a quality main camera and a front facing camera, and a equalizer to customize the sound I would recommend this phone to everyone I see but it dont so I would only recommend this phone to people that dont care about the camera and music, people that just care about great call quality, quality apps and internet.
Internet search too slow and the phone is too cumbersome to operate. I can't open attachments and can't send them. I don't think this phone is as user-friendly as a android phone. Some of the apps you can't find, and when I went to Itunes my phone needed to be updated to Windows 8 in order to download any of the apps I needed. I don't think I'll keep it.
