Default Windows Phone 7 Profile: the Dell Venue Pro
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/...one/glance.aspx

"With a 4.1" AMOLED display coupled with a built-in portrait keyboard, The Dell Venue Pro is designed both for productivity and entertainment."

14.9mm isn't too bad in terms of thickness for a bottom-keyboard slider. I liked the name "Lighting" more than Venue Pro, but I'll forgive Dell because the 4.1" AMOLED screen with a keyboard gives you potentially the best of both worlds. This phone is definitely on my short list!

  • 4.1" 800x480 AMOLED touchscreen with Gorilla® Glass
  • 121.6 mm x 64.4 mm x 14.9 mm191g
  • 1GB Flash ROM + 512MB DDR SDRAM
  • 8GB 16 GB internal storage
  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD 8250 1 GHz
  • Battery life - Talk time: 3 hrs/Standby: 336 hrs
  • 5MP camera / 720p HD video
  • Vertical slide out qwerty

UPDATE: Incredibly, Microsoft's Press page had even more incorrect data. The Dell Venue will come with 16 GB! A big improvement over 8 GB...

I knew they would mess up on the storage but I will still get this. HTC and their crappy LCD screen and camera's are not for me. Not to mention the Gorilla glass so I can carry the phone without a case if I want to. 4.1" AMOLED goodness, cant wait to get this into the office and show off to my android and iphone foes!

Well I just read an article stating : "The focus (Samsung) will sport a 4in WVGA Super AMOLED screen, 5MP shooter, MicroSD expansion slot (good for up to 16 GB).".

Now this is the opposite of what I have read so far about WP7 but maybe MS realized that denying users the ability to replace SD cards was a capital mistake and corrected it.....

@*&#@#ing Microsoft Press Pass got the info wrong - they listed it as having 8 GB of storage, but CNET says 16 GB....

So based on what Cnet is stating the HD7 will have 16GB of memory too?

What is wrong with MS? Is it possible that they messed up so extensively?!?!?!?
