Dell were also showing off a Windows Phone 7 smartphone today, the rather enormous Dell Vue Pro. This beast has a slide out keyboard, that pops out from the bottom of the phone in portrait, and it’s also got an on board touchscreen. The first thing we noticed about the Dell Vue Pro? It is unbelievably enormous, in a lanky kind of way, especially when the QWERTY keyboard is out and it’s at maximum length.
The Dell Vue Pro Windows Phone 7 feels pretty indestructible though, and will stand up to a lot of wear and tear, with Gorilla Glass on the 4.1″ AMOLED screen, meaning it’s scratch and crack resistant: this is the stuff they use on helicopters.
In the UK, we can expect to see it appearing around the end of November, and it will be available unlocked, although a spokesperson for Dell said that no deals with carriers had been made yet (ignore the T-Mobile sign on the front, that’s because this is a US prototype).
Should the Dell Vue Pro be for more than just business types, or is it too clunky to be anything else?
