The Dell Venue Pro, it's got a slide out QUERTY keyboard and a 4.1 inch touchscreen. You'll want one so very much.

You could, on the other hand, get one for free if you work for Dell and want to trade in your Blackberry, or take a look at some more details about the phone over at this post right here.

When Intel offers Dell special deals on chips to not use AMD, Dell gets into trouble for not telling investors those incentives affect the bottom line. You get the deal. Read The Full Story
