Dell today unveiled their first Windows phone 7 based smartphone Dell Venue Pro. Earlier known as the Dell Lighting, Venue Pro looks very similar to its Android brother the Dell Thunder. Dell Venue Pro has a 4.1 inch wide, AMOLED captive touch screen, which supports multi-touch inputs. Apart from this, Venue Pro has a QWERTY keypad fixed in the portrait orientation. We all expect a landscape keyboard in such a device with huge screen, but Dell managed to incorporate a four row keyboard in Venue Pro, which is easy to access operate. Dell Venue Pro meets the demands of the new Windows Phone 7 OS with 1GHZ Snapdragon processor. There is touch sensitive menu, back and search keys at the front side, and a 5MP camera with LED flash in the rear side.
