fully-customisable home screen looks fantastic on the Venue Pro's 4.1-inch AMOLED touch screen. Pull it upwards and you reveal a full, if cramped, QWERTY keyboard.
Live hubs, including People, Games, Pictures, Music and Video, Office and Market Place provide plenty of content, though without folders it can become cluttered.
Enter Windows Live details and the Venue Pro automatically syncs with your Xbox Live account, allowing your avatar to roam about the home screen. There's a good selection of games available, many of them on a free trial basis.PC users will need Zune software to transfer media, whereas Mac users have the significantly less confusing Windows Phone 7 Connector.The 1GHz processor is swift and the AMOLED screen crisper than the E7S. But the five-meg stills are disappointing, while the 720p video has a poor refresh rate, appearing blurred and marred by noise.
