It's like on Touch Pro

And they posted the IMEI number in full view. Never seen that before. Is it risky to do this?

Actually its better off this way, so that whenever I have to load any media on the card, I dont have to pull out the battery and it would take for ever to reboot.

Thanks for the links, all good it seems!

The only thing they did not realy test is the multimedia performance of the phone

It was mentioned somewhere that HTC forbids them to review too deeply about the software, only hardware and superficial stuff. guess they are still working out some kinks.

hmm, fishy... no video playback testing, come on...

I was hoping to take good pictures with 5MP camera. Other review says that the camera performs fast and this one the opposite.

Even my old Qtek S200 had better photos than the ones from HD

damn i really just need one single thing to make me sell my almost new diamond to get this HD monster... video perfomance.... diamond video perfomance SUCKS but if HD handles well with it that screen and resolution would be killer....
but seems no one knows about video perfomance so i better dont put my hopes too high....

Pics of Dell Venue Pro contents or Video unboxing

Any one got the Venue Pro has either pics or a video of it. I really want to see what comes in the box and people's first impression of it. It'll hold out for me until I get mine next week

I don't have any pictures of the accessories and the box, But I just posed shots of the Venue pro along with the HD7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833298
The box comes with USB adapter (1Amp), Ear plugs (goes in your ear not like the iPod plugs) and USB cable (little short and looks very pathetic like the ones you pick up @ frys for a buck)

Thanks very much

Thanks. Just saw this retweeted on #dellvenuepro from which is probably your twitter account. Very nice video

Forgot to mention: the phone was $449+ tax contract free and $200USD for new activations or upgrades.

...why would you want to have the keyboard slide out when you are talking to someone. The phone is big enough.

He probably wants a 'physical' action to answer calls with. Unlike many other phones, there are no buttons for pick up/hang up, so if you're unable to use the touchscreen for some reason (e.g. wearing gloves), another way of answering the call would be useful.

Can you please tell me what the build quality is like? Are the chrome sides made of plastic ???
p.s. audio and video BLOW on the HD7. Dell blows it out of the water.

Thanks for the videos, very helpful. The Netflix logo look more vibrant on the Dell and once again the HD7 is slower opening an application. Looks like the Dell all the way for me.

Added another short video showing how to remove the microSD card and demoing the speakers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weOg1dzPmU0

"Cool...a plastic iPhone 3g/3gs running a new version of Android...how revolutionary...YAWN..."
Hopefully more sites will get there review phones soon.

Bah, wanted to see some video recording options, some people are stating it actually has 720p despite the TECH SPEC on the web site.

Pretty funny how at the 1:50 mark she thinks the Nexus S can be used to make NFC payments. You'd think they would do their research beforehand

Buying it. Period.

Glad to see you are Anderdroid since you seem to have a lot of good knowledge you bring to the table
(i.e. letting us know about how bluetooth 2.1 on the Nexus S might not block the wiimote)

Not so? I've been trying to find some definitive info on what this phone's NFC capabilities are (and are not). Can you please point me in the right direction?

Almost positive the NFC chip is read only which means it can't transmit any data of yours to be able to make payments. All it can do is read the tags and give you the information on them? I'll try to find a link...

Google has confirmed the nfc was set to read only right now, but they kinda left it open ended, like it could be enabled to transmit in the future.

When Google makes public some testing videos high lighting the quality control followed by Sammy during the development of the Nexus S, just like they did with my Nexus One build by HTC...then and ONLY then...I will purchase this plastic crap.
If you want to burn 529$ in a bending=cracked-screen phone...then go for it.

Being a Nexus One owner
- How did I end up with such a bad digitizer? Not true multi-touch, where was HTC/google when they decided to go with cheap Clearpad 2000, screwing us with all sorts of screen issues?
- Why is the speaker so effin horrible, worse than my £30 phones?
- The menu keys seem to be mislocated with the screen, hence you have to somewhat press the top half (despite people saying this was fixed via software, it was not)
- Dust behind screen <-- WTF?
- Screen tearing
- Probably more that I missed
To be honest, the best part of HTC on my Nexus One was only the aesthetics look - with the unibody etc. Nothing else was of that great quality.
So please, lets take HTC off this pedestal which they do not deserve.
They even repeated the multi-touch issue on the Desire... I am actually happy they went with someone other than HTC.

Definitely gonna get this phone. It looks awesome.

That's the way I interpreted it too, like (for some strange reason) the NFC capabilities were software-crippled. I know there's a LONG way to go in building out the hardware/software to enable some of the more interesting NFC use-cases, but I just want to make sure that if I get this, I'm not immediately limited to only the most lame NFC uses. If all we're going to be able to do with this handset is wave to get an NFC-encoded web URL, this awesome new technology just saved me the 2 seconds necessary to open Barcode Scanner and scan a 2D barcode that translates to a URL. Lame.
I think Google really owes us some more detail on the NFC end of this device.

Thanks! I'll add them to the OP.

In the BGR video, "Google Nexus S ultrabrief walkthrough," it's strange the the four capacity buttons on the bottom (Back, menu, search, home) don't light up in general or when you press them. They're barely visible. Is that a feature to turn off those lights, or the angle we're seeing it from?
That's a little bizarre.

http://gizmodo.com/5711499/nexus-s-using-the-best-google-android-phone

would like to know the battery life is like on this phone

I think it might be possible that when the ambient light sensor detects sufficient light to see the buttons without using the LED for them, it just doesn't bother. I don't need them to be lit up on my Vibrant all the time so I kind of see why they did it.

S2 goes flying on an RC quad copter

What you can do if you are still waiting for some cold sandwich...
Make your Galaxy S2 fly! Bored with strapping my phone to RC planes I strapped it to a quadcopter! It hovers (mostly) and this means getting aerial footage from your Galaxy S2 has never been easier. With 720p the field of view is much better and the smooth fps is great...
The phone was placed against foam and zip tied on - the wobbles occasionally in the video are from when I do a fast descent .. basically my S2 falls with 1kg+ attached to it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tU_tMnMUec
Higher and further next time. Oh and if you are wondering what the orange ball is, that's so I can work out what way an X shape is pointing when its high up a.k.a My training wheels! Next time I'll put that to the back, this was just a test video...

Nice video dude, I'll try that someday ;-)

Thanks .. one tip I'd recommend is using 720p and use foam else you may end up with a jello video

ICS goes flying (about 300m up)

I wonder if I am the first person to make my Ice Cream Sandwich fly...
That is, literally. I finally got my update late last week and wanted to see what the video quality was like.. so far so good
Flown on a quad copter with the GS2 strapped to front using foam and cable ties. Since ICS, I can finally use CellBot's Sensor Data logger but sadly the video isn't 720p but D1 and only 16 FPS.

Nice one!
Next time try setting the exposure to a fixed value, and the phone should be able to keep up with 30fps.

I had GPSLogger running in the background at the same time as this video was recorded and it only took 5 second (or longer) intervals. The highest point recorded was apparently 373m (according the .GPX file). I'm not too sure how well that worked as some of my points were underground when plotted in Google Earth .. odd. Also, I don't know if the recorded elevation is the high above sea level or ground.
I would really like to record how high she flies but it's high enough that the quad is becoming more like a speck tananhig distinguishable! I wonder if the GS2 has a barometer / atmospheric pressure sensor...
The setup..
Flight controller (FC)
KK+ 5.5e multicontroller with the MEMS gyros and Accelerometer upgrades
4x 924Kv Keda brushless motors (180W)
4x 25A Speed controllers
