Dell Venue Shown Off In India

Dell had been promising publicly that they would be releasing an version of their Windows Phone 7 Dell Venue Pro that would be running Android. It was rumored to be called the “Dell Venue” and would be sans the keyboard that the Venue Pro carries. It was also believed to be the Dell Thunder concept that was leaked months ago. After being introduced by a carrier in Korea two weeks ago, it’s made another appearance in India.

It seems Dell is having the Venue make its rounds in Asia before being officially introduced to the US and European markets. As mentioned, the phone was introduced by Korean carrier KT two weeks ago as apart of their grand launch of four different new Android phones. Now, Dell India themselves are listing this device, along with some specs as well as a tagline: “Your own personal express lane to everything.” Catchy?
Here’s what they list as ‘specs’ for the Dell Venue:

• Android 2.2
• 1GHz processor
• 4.1-inch OLED display
• 8MP camera
• 1GB storage, 512MB RAM

That OLED display may be the biggest we’ve seen yet, and certainly the biggest not on a Samsung device – Samsung is one of the world’s largest OLED manufacturers and they make the screens for HTC, and others. Speaking of the display, the Dell Venue Pro (the Windows Phone) has a curved display. I’d expect the Venue (the Android phone) to feature a similar curved glass display.
