Another Windows Phone 7 comes to India in the form of the Dell Venue Pro, and tagging along is the Android powered Venue! Both these phones have a similar built with a 4.1″ AMOLED screen, however the Venue Pro adds a slide-down QWERTY keyboard. However the Android powered Venue counters with a 8MP camera & a ‘curved corning’ Gorilla Glass against a 5MP with Gorilla Glass on the Pro. The pricing for both these phones are on the higher side with the Venue costing Rs 29,990 and the WP7 flavor costing Rs 34,990.
The Android 2.2 on the Venue comes with Swype keyboard and Dell has partnered with Aircel for data plans and pocketapp store. However the phone isn’t exclusive to Aircel. We are waiting to hear back about the availability of the se phones in the market. We quite like a physical keyboard on WP7, but we have heard that the OS doesn’t give much room for the same to be integrated with the device. We shall be back once we go hands-on with this!
Android powered Dell Venue looks good but its priced a little high. How is the battery on this phone? and what other service providers will be offering this phone? Thanks for sharing the specs and price.
