Dell Venue launched in Hong Kong, we go hands-on

Isn't it fun when you hit the right place at the right time? We just happened to be chillaxing in Hong Kong when Dell chose the city for the Venue's global launch (and it's actually hitting the shops slightly ahead of South Korea), so a quick hands-on is inevitable. As we've seen previously, this HK$3,999 (US$514) handset is essentially the Venue Pro's Android 2.2 cousin, sporting the same curved (or "Shear Design") vibrant AMOLED display at 4.1 inches and 800 x 480, but missing the slide-out keyboard. Under the hood lies a 1GHz Snapdragon with 1GB ROM and 512MB RAM, along with the usual microSD expansion, 1400mAh battery, 8 megapixel AF camera with LED flash, Bluetooth 2.3 EDR, WiFi and AGPS.Video and more after the break.......

Dell Venue Pro gets FCC certification -- with AT&T 3G

If we had a dollar for every time we heard someone lament, "if only the Venue Pro worked on AT&T," we'd have... like, 30 dollars. At least! It's on that note that we bring news to you this evening of a new Venue Pro variant in the FCC's archives sporting WCDMA Band II and V support, which is exactly what you'd need to get fancy on the 3G networks of AT&T, Rogers, Bell, or Telus. Now, we do want to caution everyone that Dell has a track record of getting FCC approval for devices that never hit the market -- take the AWS-capable Streak, for instance -- but this is an interesting development to say the least. 'Course, at this point, we'll be happy getting even one kind of Venue Pro shipped in volume, much less two -- but it's something to keep an eye out for.Details and update after the break........

Dell Venue Pro apparently delayed again, targeting January now (update: Dell 'looking into' delays)

We'd been following this story for a few days and holding off on calling it a delay since even the quickest orders weren't expected to arrive in owners' hands until today, but would-be Venue Pro owners now seem to be getting emails directly from Dell that their orders have been officially delayed until early January.
