According to internal T-Mobile employee documentation, the long-awaited Dell Venue Pro Windows Phone 7 device will launch on November 8th as scheduled, but will not be available through any T-Mobile sales channels and instead launch through the seven Microsoft Stores around the country. The smartphone will then be launched through Dell’s online sales portal on November 15th, with full service and device support, while T-Mobile will be tasked to handle basic troubleshooting and network support.
Is there any news on the phone in regards to specs including if it has hardware answer and end buttons? How about the “availability” of a “Garmin” like app, preferably one that can parse map and phone data from emails like what Android can do?
The font keys on the device are touch sensitive, the slide-out keyboard is physical.
As to “Garmin-like” apps, Google Maps is always evolving. I wouldn’t count out though Garmin eventually releasing their own Android app.
