I am planing on getting the Dell Venue Pro. But Dose it have stereo speakers ?!
According to all the video previews I have seen it does. They are doing a poor job of showing this phone off though. Losing potential buyers I think
Looked for any infos about the device but i could not find anything about it
that is really sad. I do not know why dell is not putting it in their website

I think they are not yet ready with the device yet. If you watch all the hands-on videos, you will notice that they are all given by Dell PR people and repeating the same tape over and over again. Also, no one has yet published a proper review of the device. I think they haven't shipped out any review units either.

Yes I agree completely. That's why I worded preview and not review. Wish they would get with it. Wonder why they are lagging behind the other phones announced.
Also there late to the party makes me wonder about after sale support as far as updates and what not. I may just get the HTC Hd7 on the 8th and pick this one on down the road

Dell has good customer support infrastructure and updates will be handled by Microsoft. So I think it will be alright.
HD7 viewing angle/color fading is just too disappointing. After using AMOLED screen on Nexus one, it is just too painful to go back to ordinary LCD screens.
Oh okay that's good to hear. I am concerned about the screen on the hd7 also. Some vids it looks nice though. Is it the same screen as the Evo? I know my Evo is really washed compared to my Vibrant and even the IP4 I had

Last night I decided to look up reviews on Dell's past mobile devices. The Aero and the Streak. Both for Android.
A lot of people say the build quality is pretty bad for both devices. This has be a bit worried.

I thought about that too. I mean I will put insurance on it regardless, but some of the lower series Dell computers are cheaply made.

Yea, but the reviews also say this phone leaves them for dead, in build quality and other areas...it seems to be pretty solid form all the reviews I've read so far.
I'm pretty sure you will see a review of the phone on Engadget soon b/c on the Engadget show the MS director showed of all the WP7 phones and I'm more than likely sure that Engadget got a review unit.

I'm sorry, but they honestly tend to be a bit biased. I plan to wait for a review from another site like CNET or AnandTech.

there is a review from cnet. i already saw it youtube
they compare it with htc hd7
and yet the reviewer is pretty impressed with the dell venue pro and they're looking forward to it
DELL are changing tack from being a budget box-pusher to something more upmarket. The Venue Pro is one of the first products to reflect their new strategy, hence why the build quality is so good.
Hi all,
Just been in to my local car phone warehouse, they had stock in and let me play with the display model..
Super smooth and v responsive but I have a few things to ask..
1. Does anyone. Know if this phone is EE 4g ready? I find it unbelievable that a phone is on sale without info on this!!
2. Do people think the addition cost of the contract is worth it over the gs3 which currently has some impressive deals?
Any help is appreciated as I am planning on upgrading today to either of these... Or if anyone can convince me to wait till wp8 is released I'm willing to listen!!
Thanks
There both good phone in there own right its down to persanal preference. Size etc note 2 is better specs with pen. .if u wear skinny jeans its a nono
It's not 4g ready, and personally I prefer this phone over the S3. I have recently bought my wife the S3, it's a great phone, but the screen is too small for me. Plus note 2 has a stylus and the S3 doesn't.

Got released in swedish stores today I just got one without even trying the display model out lol. Super happy
Skickat från min GT-N7100 via Tapatalk 2
I'm waiting on the store manager to see what he can do for me in terms of tarriff then I'll go finalise with him later today...
A little disappointed that it's not LTE ready for the uk I guess that means they will release a new version in a few weeks/month...
My other half has an s3 it's a great phone and realistically gn2 is only better for browsing and video use everything else is pretty much the same... I can't see know the pen will be of any use in say a months time when the novelty wears off...
And also there is chat on other threads about some versions not having all the features in the advert videos... Such as multi screen, Samsung are properly rubbish at launches this kind of stuff makes them look so amateur they have an awesome product line why not work on marketing and getting the little details right.?
Yep, Samsung are pathetic at product launches.
good

great:good:
So went and got one anyway...
Handset is good, decent enough size to fit in the pocket, super responsive and the pen feels great, the extras they have added in for the are very useful also..
Build quality is usual Samsung, feels cheapish but still very sturdy and iv not had any real ability issues with either my sgs or sgs2 so assume this to be the same.
So there's no multi view in my rom which is ALIE so a little disappointed but I'm sure it will be easy to resolve once more people have the handset..
Doesn't seem to have the live recording feature either which I thought would be useful
Browser is very fast and all apps load pretty much instantly, but to be honest speed etc is the same as the s3 it's only better due to the extra included features...
OP has to really be pleased with their first unboxing video on Youtube. What an embarrassment for any company to have this as a first impression. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WePC7cISM7U

The OP group must be really proud of their first impression they are making. They are gonna be the laughing stock across the internet. This launch has been a joke from the start. They will NEVER make it in this cut throat business since they have no business sense to fight back with.
Although I think the comments are a bit harsh. I do think they have valid points. Regardless if it costs these contest winners $1 or not. There moto is never settle. So I would assume this would also carry forward with how there products are packaged and shipped as well. Even from startups like BLU you get a much more polished package. The plastic screen protector that was hanging off the screen once the guy took the bubble wrap off was pretty embarrassing. You only get one chance to make a first impression. And if this is the impression oneplus wants to set its not a good one. The phone itself can only carry so much weight when it comes to polish. There was to be a level of delivery, distribution and packaging that give that all around professional feel.

I am in agreement with you on your comments. They are going to be skewered on sites like XDA. For the most part, the members around here are not a bunch of noobies and notice off the wall crap like this shipping fiasco.
I made my comment about this on the OP forum.
I don't care if it was $1 that unboxing is a bad 1st impression. IMO no reason to not have a decent packaging for your 1st 100 customers.
Even the screen protector didn't look to be on the screen very well.
I know it's a $300 device but after watching that I may just hold off for the Nexus 6.

I also commented on their forums. In fact, I am surprised I haven't been banned like others have for expressing their conflicting opinions or questioning the methods used.

My enthusiasm has sort of slipped after seeing that boxing. I wonder what other corners were cut. I'm starting to wonder if they're sitting at the kitchen table and putting them together. I guess I'm thinking from a warranty stand point also
Hopefully we will start seeing some full reviews soon.

Well, I think we have to throw out the first 100 reviews as these guys are not likely to admit that they got exactly what their $1 purchase is worth.
you guys did watch the video right? he said that oneplus said that this is how the smashers will get their devices, and theyll be sent the charger and the rest later since they are not ready. hopefully itll look like this when done -> http://www.gizchina.com/2014/04/28/...ng-pictures-revealed-bonus-64gb-model-images/

I hate to admit it but that thought crossed my mind.
I think there's a Mod here who's getting one soon so that review should be better than some.

Yes I saw the video about getting the charger, headphones, etc at a later date and IMO it would be better to wait and ship them all together.
They knew and planned the contest. They should have had enough stuff for 100 units. For all we know these devices could be in house user devices.
If they're having problems with 100 chargers and accessories, what are they going to do about 100k+ potential buyers?
Bad first impression. To my knowledge nothing was posted previous saying this is how they would be shipped.

Yes, I did watch the video. Since they had some of this packaging, are you trying to tell me that they did not order more that the dozen or so that got sent out for reviews? This is totally idiotic on OP's part to do something like this. The forums are going nuts about their low quality packaging on the first shipments. How in the world do they think this will not destroy all their bravado about being a Flagship Killer. You can't ship crap like this out and not expect to lose all credibility that they have pompously built up. Absolutely incredible to me that these bozos did this. Sorry if you think that I am being harsh, but sometimes the truth hurts.
well, the first 100...
when the device will be ready for everyone will come with a nice box and everything... if you ask ... why i don't have a invite? the answer is: because you can't understand that this is not the final release, or package or the final battery life, or the final etc....
really stop.... this is a taste of the 1+1... just that, dont be saying "bad impression" if you cant handle this, then wait for 2 months(and buy the "final version")... really im very surprised, this kind of commentary in xda, why??
just wait...
They could have planned his contest a little better, but this doesn't affect how I feel about the phone. Your disappointment over this issue, which doesn't affect anyone other than the 100 that got the phone, just sounds like you're invested too heavily in the hype machine. I'm sure that OP had good intentions with getting these 100 phones to the winners asap since they do need a new phone after smashing their old one. Don't buy it this actually upsets you. It's one more invite for someone else.
Jesus christ.
Some of you people will dig and dig for literally any reason to hate this device. You'll get one soon enough and it'll be fine, just be patient.
This isn't unusual for an advance release. Of course they're usually sent to industry insiders, not end users, so they should have known the unwrapping would have ended up on YouTube. But I don't consider it some big scandal, everyone knows they're pre-release promotional items so the faux outrage seems a bit much.
New devices always have problems when first released.The n4 and n5 for example.
So wait let the hype settle down.
Wait a couple of months then order your one.
Just my 2cents.
Retail packaging will be much better. It will be a finished retail product.
These winners were advanced, before retail packaging was ready. Just wait for the retail unboxing videos. Everyone that reviewed the device has commented about how good the quality is. The retail product will not disappoint. Packaging will be as good as the final product, just like the packaging that was seen in the video with Steve Kondik unboxing the One.
Steve's video is HERE.
Oh come one! How can there be people justifying this BS. Man, they couldn't put 100 units together with their retail package and not even a CHARGER? This is unjustifiable. This company's main marketing will be over social media by its users (evangelists). These first 100 phone should have arrived in a SPECIAL package since they are for the winners of a very much hyped promo (Smash The Past) that asked to destroy $700 devices! This is without mentioning that the first units (pre-production) had defects that were justified because they weren't actual retail but hey considering that this is the only marketing they had they should have released something near perfect.
Guys this company and product are not ready. They couldn't get 100 devices in weeks they won't be able to produce not even 5,000 in 2 months.
Note: I consider my self a supporter of Oneplus since I believe that what they tired to do with a device like this at the right price it commendable but this sucks and you don't have to be a marketing expert to know that this is going wrong.

Hi all,
I've read the reviews for this, I've watched the youtube unboxings and more reviews and they all seem positive.
But can you people that have one and have been using it for a while say how good it is after the glow of it arriving is?
Is the build quality ok (it's not an iPhone or an HTC, I get that), but in it's range does it ware well and work reliably on a day to day biases? I guess I'd be flashing it with a custom rom, but not sure which yet..
Now it's dropped in price to £99 (about 140US) it appears to be an amazing bit of kit (I'm looking at the Sanpdragon quad core version of the phone here; http://www.1949deal.com/xiaomi-redm...ram-8gb-rom-5-5-inch-hd-ips-screen-white.html)
Thanks for any feedback...

Definitely a good buy in its price range. I have been using the 4G version since a week now, and I must admit. I love it!!
I have been using the MIUI 6 developer rom and its good. The only thing that bother me is the size well I cant complain bout size coz its a NOTE and is meant to be large
I also have the 4G version. Honestly one of the best phones I've owned and that's not taking the price into consideration. Has a nice solid build and MIUI V6 is surprisingly nice. I love my OnePlus One and the Note 4G is a close 2nd.
How soon until the major blogs/news outlets will start posting their reviews of these units? I can't wait to read all about the 6P, especially about the camera and battery.
The phone isn't available!
Most bloggers /reviewers don't get a review unit until it's available for sale, also most have to buy the phone themselves.
Also any good reviewer will use the phone for a week or two so they can actually give you a review, not just impressions, which we've seen a ton of.
Patience.
probably looking at another 10 days or so before we see them start pouring in.

Not true at all.... Maybe top ten or so get a free unit (can be 5, or 20 but several do) to test week before the event even started. That's how dxomark grade the camera. Was the same for moto xpe. I assume one week to see reviews.... When actual units start shipping, we will see plenty more "blogger" reviews who had to wait like anyone else

I understand in some cases this is the case but with this reveal it was pretty clear that the popular bloggers/reviewers did not have advance notice or time with the phone, as they all live blogged it and told us as they found out about it, many of them were even surprised at certain features. I heard about 5 times how they found pout at the press event that the camera hump wasn't as big as the leaked pictures led them to believe.
Google really wanted to keep the wraps on this and the fact that there are no reviews out currently support this fully. I'm not saying you are wrong, but in this particular phone release, I'm pretty confident saying no one got early press review units.
Now I'm not saying that a handful didn't get one after the event, but we now need to give them time to actually use it, before they review it.

I was super impatient waiting for the OPT and Moto X Pure reviews.
Most probably next week like everyone else has mentioned.
You would want them to use the phone for at least a week before they get a good review.

also - we'll likely see a flood of "unboxing" reviews/posts before anything substantial hits the streets. i've grown to hate the unboxing vids. takes the magic out of the whole process. plus teh "reviews" are garbage.
You just have to stick with the good reviews and kind of ignore the people that either crap on anything not X or glow over everything and anything that cross their desk. I wouldn't expect to see review for 2 more weeks at least.
can't wait for the reviews, i want to know about any overheating issues and probably battery. really hyped about the idle battery life.
Wish it will live up to expectations~
have all of the 810's overheating issues been strictly related to recording 4k video?

I agree unboxing's take the magic away, but I'm so impatient, I'll still watch it. It helps me get excited again, while I wait through the ridiculously long wait period Google has provided us.
The only reviewer I pretty much trust is MKBHD.

1 month isn't long at all. That's actually a really quick turn around. It used to be 4-6 months.
