For years I've suffered with a "dumb" phone on my pay-as-you-go T-Mobile account, because I only use my phone for travel/coordination circumstances and I have been able to limit my usage to 1000 minutes a year (yes, a year). T-Mobile has only had mediocre phones available on their no-contract plans. I am quite familiar with ios 4 and 5 because I have an iPod 4g, which works great over wi-fi with Skype. But I also wanted to have a phone with me that was also good for apps. Buying an unlocked Dell Venue-Pro on eBay was a fantastic purchase for me. Windows Phone 7.5 (aka "Mango") is better than either IOS5 or Android because it is people centric, rather than app centric. The live tiles and especially the people tile make it easy for me to organize my contacts into various groups and locate them for calls, email, Facebook, etc. My only complaint about the Venue-Pro is the relatively short battery life compared with my old Samsung "dumb" phone. Part of it is certainly due to the vastly larger Amoled screen and another part is due to not turning off wi-fi when not in use (operator error!). All in all, it is well worth it for the convenience and beauty of having this phone. I bought it unlocked and just popped in my SIM card from my previous phone and it worked right off the bat - no support calls or reconfiguration needed! When I go to Europe next year I hope to be able to purchase an inexpensive SIM card there and just pop it in again.Read full review
A quality piece of equipment that works well. It hung up on me a couple of times, meaning that on occasion I couldn't answer an incoming call because it just wouldn't respond. I'll have to watch that. Pretty nice phone overall. Here in Jamaica the 2 networks are going flat out to implement 4G. One has already gone there fully and the other which is mostly 3G now will be 4G in another year or so. The phone is 3G so I use it on one network for internet, although it works well for voice on either
i've been looking for smth new and exclusive.i had and still have the nokia c6(awesome phone btw) BUT the 1st time i saw this phone i wanted it!then when i finally got it,i found it kinda difficult to deal with.first of all,ididnt like the way my contact lists appear,and the fact that i couldnt keep my messages,no information i had previously on my t-mobile sim card,IT SIMPLY DOESNT SHOW!! i want to mention another thing i didnt find quite comfortable :to change/add the ringtones.generally speaking,it doesnt allow to personalize too much!!! i still like this phone!!!the features and design are unique,its so big,but comfortable to use; everything else-the look,the operating system,soundS are just amazing!!!i like the huuuge screen,the way u keep ur email up to date,all internet features are just perfect! overall its smth u never had,and so much better than others phones. be4 u buy it:just take a better look on it,check as much as possible if that phone is right for uRead full review
Been using the DVP for about a month. Pros: - qwerty physical keyboard - nice vibrant screen - "tiles" on the OS are cool - fast transitions from apps,etc due to 1ghz processor Cons: - lack of updates - camera - not fully customizable with 3rd party apps like previous windows versions Overall: awesome, fast phone
The phone is excellent. The build quality, the querty keyboard, the screen, all is fantastic. The AMOLED screen looks similar to the Galaxy S2 one, good black tones, colours, and touch. Windows Phone 7.5 is fast and easy to use, with WP8 it should be better (7.8 to this model if the update is possible). The BIG problem here, are the Apps, all are sloow to open, and depends a lot of the 3g connectivity, for example Whatsapp shows the notification but when you open it (20 sec later...)is needed data to download the message again. Same with Facebook, Twitter, and more...
