Have you ever tried rooting it ??? it makes so much difference on the battery life ???

I'm also thinking about the Dell Venue Pro Windows 7 phone. One problem is that it seems almost impossible to get reliable information about this phone. No one seems even to be able to agree on what UMTS bands it has. How are Windows phones as communications tools. Do they tend to be terribly crippled by vendor customizations?

I tend to believe GSMArena when it comes to phone specs.

Turns out there are two versions of the Venue Pro: T-Mobile's had UMTS 900, 2100 & AWS. ATT's had 850, 1900 & 2100. So, neither of these satisfy my minimum requirements. According to GSMArena there are 27 phones that do, most of which are Nokia.
