Dell Venue Pro Launched in India for Rs. 34,990
Samir Makwana, Feb 03, 2011 1859 hrs ISTRuns Windows Phone 7 with 4.1-inch AMOLED display, QWERTY keyboard and 5MP camera with LED Flash
As anticipated, Dell has unveiled its first Windows Phone 7 mobile OS based smartphone - Venue Pro for India. Designed in a slider form factor, Venue Pro carries 4.1-inch AMOLED display with curved Gorilla Glass technology and slides upwards to reveal the QWERTY keypad. In terms of specification, Venue Pro has practically the same hardware as in the Android 2.2 Froyo running Venue smartphone. In India, the Dell Venue Pro would be available for Rs. 34,990.
Microsoft Windows Phone 7 running Dell Venue Pro houses 1GHz (Scorpion Core) Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU with Adreno 200 GPU for graphics. The handset has 512MB RAM and 8GB onboard storage. However, it doesn't have a memory card slot and that's what makes it different from Venue.
Flaunting a 4.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, this portrait slider phone also accommodates a QWERTY keypad. Loaded with 5 megapixel camera with LED Flash and autofocus, Venue Pro promises 720p HD video recording. Other features include Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, A-GPS, and microUSB support.
Venue Pro's price at Rs. 34,990 certainly seems a bit higher when compared to the HTC HD7 available for Rs. 28,499 from online retailer Flipkart.com. In December last year, Dell had introduced Venue Pro for $450 which means around Rs. 20,250 approximately. We do anticipate a price drop in a month or two when more Windows Phone 7 devices and Android 2.3 Gingerbread laden Nexus S hit India.
Dell also announced that the official price of Android 2.2 Froyo loaded Venue will be Rs. 29,990 in India.
