Stutters with Flash content, Shoots ugly looking 720p videos, LED flash is nearly worthless

Camera, -ordinary speaker
Expensive. Heavy. Some reception issues. A little buggy.
The camera quality was subpar, Dell's Stage user interface could use some refinement and won't appeal to everyone, and the Venue doesn't support T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.
Dell Stage UI was a bit sluggish, Audio volume for media was ridiculously low
UI Still Feels Sluggish, Disappointing Camera, No FM, No Sound Customization
Camera affected by lens cover, cluttered UI, Can't charge a drained battery from wall socket, Backup utility not reliable

This phone is not the strongest device on the market in any one category, but together all of its features DO make it a solid choice for those looking for a device that can run on any network they choose. Dell is a brand you can trust to bring you a...

If Dell is banking on the saying that late products are eventually good, and that it is better to be late than to deliver a rushed, half-baked product, the Venue will probably be the best example of how untrue such a logic can be, especially where...

Honestly, one of the best things about the Dell Venue is the fact that its one of those handsets you dont quite expect to see in the wild thus, its able to stand out more amongst the usual pack of smartphones out there....

At the end of the day, what's in for those looking for a Dell Venue? Outwardly, the Venue is a charmer no less, with a solid Gorilla Glass touch display framed by chrome edges but it falls short primarily in two areas: user experience and multimedia...

The battery life is on par with most Android phones. Which means it sucks.The Venue has a 1400 mAh Li-Ion battery, whose life is mediocre and on par with other Android phones. With all the Google services active in the background, while making regular...

I'm nervous for Dell. I sympathize for them like I did for myself in high school when nobody would sit with me at lunch (wah wahhh). It must be hard for a company to try to enter a field that's already dominated by heavyweights that keep...

Dells delivered a very solid phone with the Venue, with a nicely designed form factor, and a good overall package. At its price its a comparatively good deal, but admittedly its yet to get an update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread.Apart...

Dell Venue is just the second phone from Dell after the popular Dell Streak, yet it is no sequel to the latter. However, it presents a good alternative to HTC Desire HD, which is 2-3k lesser than Venue. Dell Venue rides on Android 2.2 OS with 512 MB...

I like to think of the Dell Venue as a preview of things to come from the company that has really been the Ford of consumer and business computing products. Sure, it's no Ferrari, but it's not like you're buying something that was slapped...

The smartphone market is as crowded as it has ever been, and it's becoming increasingly more so by the week. Dell wasn't even in this market a few years ago, and now, they're making a major play to take on folks like LG, Samsung, HTC and...
