Like title says, Dell stopped selling the Venue/Venue Pro on their web store recently.
The only devices still being sold are the S10 in china and the SPro in china and recently launched in Japan
This may be temporary, as there was an issue with the store that allowed some buyers to purchase $1 Dell Venue phones without a contract.
Even if it was, we're nearing the natural end of the venue's lifetime anyway.
Besides the fact dell kinda forgot to give support for it, it's already a year and change old. It launched before the S7 and the S7 stopped being sold before the V.
No surprises there. Venue was stuck on 2.2 and Dell had no interest in upgrading it ever. Which is a darn shame, it was a really solid phone built-wise.
If dell bothered to release 2.3.6/7 for 00 region devices instead of just 2.3.3 for 14 (kt) devices I wouldnt have any complaints.
While the V SHOULD get ICS because it's only a lil over a year old the internals are much older then that. There's very few/no 1st gen snapdragons getting ICS officially.
It's pretty much just that we're stuck on 2.2.x officially for a device that isnt that old.
Even that much is a streach, as the Streak Pro is only days old and it's still only 2.3.5 and not 2.3.6/7
erikgrad,
can you elaborate further regarding your reason why Dell stopped selling them on their website? Do you work for Dell? I was looking to purchase one online but it's no longer available. I am hoping Dell resumes selling them.
well....
Then Dell will be cut service for Venue...

Looking to purchase a Dell Streak 5 Unlocked and I find two version of the "unlocked":
On Amazon.com or Ebay, those selling as "Unlocked" for $300 or so report that the Order Details or Packing list show Item Number:
225-0059 Streak UMTS Base
However, if I go to DELL website and configure an Unlocked Dell Streak 5, it lists in order details:
225-1465 Streak UMTS Base, Unlocked
What is the difference between these two units? I find those selling and advertising as Unlocked and 225-0059 got them for $99 with new Dell laptop priced $699 or more.
Is the only way to get a truly unlocked unit (225-1465) to buy directly from DELL at full price?
This must be a real stumper--posted on 3 forums and nobody has an answer!
Sounds like the first was originally locked then unlocked by 3rd party while the 2nd is unlocked from the factory.

As the date in that article states, this is rather old news:
The SPro is slated to launch in japan in janruary.
It will ship with 2.3.4 and should hopefully recieve ICS (depends on which company made the SPro, if it's quisda dont expect ICS quickly)
Unless dell states specifically what ver of android it will come with, this is just conjecture from other sites, 2.3.4 is a common version to build to for GB
2.3.3 is too old, 2.3.6/2.3.7 are too new; so it's either going to be 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. And i'm betting it's gonna be 2.3.4
It's 4.3" and is as closely related to the s5 as the venue, ie cousins.
Will it be like a second version or the streak...will it be worth it?

As it's gonna be import only unless you live in japan I cant say, importing imparts a large cost on top of the normal price.
It's a pretty common looking phone, it's basically a sensation XE but from dell and with stage 2.0. It could also be considered a Venue 2/Venue S as it's more aligned with that then the S5
Like with the S10 I would likely recommend against importing unless you absolutely must have it as there are many comparable devices. The S10 competes in china because it's 30% cheaper then others while having the same featureset, outside china not at all.
I cant imagine being able to import a SPro anywhere near the price of a comparable 4.3" phone
Nonetheless i'd like one for myself to hack, same reason I bought a S10.
Not for me
Screen smaller than FIVE inch is a 99% deal breaker for me.
Once at&t gets its head out of its collective you know what as to knocking the Galaxy Note off data as a "tablet only" device, that is the way I'm probably moving after the 1st of the year. Rumors report a at&t branded note, but it will be missing the home button, and have a qualcomm processor for LTE, which won't be available in my area until probably 2015 or later LOL.
Hello all,
I have been waiting for the Z4 tablet to come out for awhile and I'm starting to lose patience with my Nexus 7 (2012). If I were to buy the international versions that are popping up on Amazon, and I get the wifi version, are there any things that the international versions would lack that the formal U.S. release would have? I've never purchased anything that was not a U.S. device so I'm not aware of if there are things like Google Play Services that would not be functional (as is the case with the Nokia N1 when it was first released).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I would like the know the reasoning why it will not get an official update. The phone is more than capable of running it. Maybe HTC did not sell too many of them, but my phone was on 4.4.2 when I bought it, so I have had it just over a year with no OS update. I am not overly concerned about not getting it, just want to know why! I would not want 5.0 anyhow, and I would bet that is what would have been pushed to it. I am not an Apple fan, but this is one area that they are better than Android. I have an old iPad 2, and it is on the latest IOS version. That tablet is about 5 years old! With Android devices, you are lucky to get one major OS upgrade before support for the device is dropped like a rock!
Wonder if Verizon couldn't put all their bloatware on it as it is already being upgraded in other countries. Other carriers also seem to want to go ahead with it. I'm seriously thinking of switching back to AT&T now. Was looking forward to Lollipop as after the last security updates, I've been having issues with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections. Was actually thinking of keeping this device after contract expired. However now I'll probably look for another manufacturer and another carrier.
I've been waiting for the honor 8x to be available in the USA for months.
i wanted to buy my wife a new phone for Christmas but it is not available yet
does anybody know when this phone will be released in the USA ??
can someone recommend me a good budget phone that is comparable to the 8x ??
Sorry, but this is it: https://techonomy.com/2013/04/huawei-zte-banned-from-selling-to-u-s-government/
If you want, you can use a "workaround" (see here, where I bought mine from AliExpress: https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-huawei-8x )

I live in Toronto, Canada. I got my Honor 8x yesterday. Works perfectly with Bell. I placed an order two weeks ago on ebay. A seller is in Florida.
This phone was confirmed for the USA back on September 27. It's now more than 3 months later and NOTHING. I was going to buy this phone if it was released in the USA a few months ago but by the time it gets here it will be old technology. Add in the fact that the US government hates Huawei/Honor I doubt we will ever see it. And if we do, it certainly won't see any updates.

Huawei's Honor brand has always been budget priced and so it was always "old technology" one way or another. If you want new technology, you gotta buy a Galaxy Note or similar. Having said that, I think what used to be newest technology around 2015 is basically what most people still really need to get by today.
I was certainly really interested in seeing the release of Honor 8x in the USA because that's my go-to budget brand, but if it does not arrive here, we could still have some other choices. For example, Lenovo's Moto G7. Based on speculations it should arrive some time in March.
JSN-L23
There is a version of this phone that you can purchase (I got mine on ebay, but also available on Amazon) that will work with certain U.S. carriers. At the least, is compatible with T-Mobile bands. I'm not sure about other carriers as I use Ting (which operates on T-Mobile network, and maybe AT&T but I'm not sure so don't quote me). Just make sure the model number is JSN-L23. And also double check your carriers frequency bands it uses and make sure they and the phones' are compatible. As I said, I use Ting which uses T-Mobiles network and I get full 4G LTE signal with 50+mb/s down consistently. The only downsides are, as of right now, it is only available in 4GB/64GB format and is only available in black & blue (no red which sucks cause is the best looking imo). And for some odd reason this model does NOT have dual band Wi-Fi so keep that in mind
