Steve Ballmer is on stage right now - at the time of writing - and a few more Windows Phone 7 handsets have just got official. This post will be about the Dell Lightning, which has been renamed as the Venue Pro. This smartphone is intended for T-Mobile USA. It sports a 4.1-inch touchscreen display, a portrait slide-up QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP camera, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, and Windows Phone 7. This one will be a great addition to the T-Mobile line-up since it's quite unique.

Say what!? Yeah, Dell's making a Windows Phone 7 and it's one of the best handsets that have been announced to-date, which is pretty amazing. Dubbed the Dell Lightning, this handset is scheduled to launch in Q4 of this year and in Q4 2011, this handset will get an upgrade to support LTE 4G networks. It's got a 14.9mm body, which is pretty hefty but it's a sacrifice you have to make.

This handset is packing a mighty fine spec sheet: a 4.1-inch WVGA OLED touchscreen display, T-Mobile / AT&T 3G connectivity, a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU, a 5MP AF camera, 1GB of flash memory, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory thanks to a microSD card (probably not user-replaceable), GPS / WiFi / Bluetooth support, an FM radio, an accelerometer, and Flash support. Clearly, you can see that it packs a QWERTY keyboard as well, which is absolutely amazing. Check out the link below for a bunch more photos.
