Dell Venue Pro with Windows Phone 7 has become official as this portrait-sliding QWERTY device will be hitting T-Mobile in times for the holidays.
T-Mobile hasn’t released the full specs or a launching price point but it appears like it will have a 4.1-inch screen, 5-megapixel camera, a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, portrait QWERTY slide keyboard, Gorilla Glass for durability and scratch resistance.
It looks like the Dell Venue Pro will be an exclusive to T-Mobile and the company could be positioning it as a competitor to the BlackBerry in the corporate space. The Windows Phone 7 operating system should mean that it seamlessly integrates with the life of a mobile worker.
We know that Windows Phone 7 has a lot of consumer-friendly features, but the platform should also make the Dell Venue Pro play nice in corporate environments. Because the platform is made by Microsoft, Windows Phone 7 will have deep integration with Exchange servers, as well as e-mail integration with other types of mail services.
This will also be the only smartphone operating system to come preloaded with the official Microsoft Office application, which will let Dell Venue Pro users view and edit a variety of documents on the go.
