Dell Venue Pro SIM card flaw among many issues
Dell's Venue Pro was hit by another major flaw late Monday as reports have emerged of an issue with the Windows Phone 7 device's SIM slot. At least one Microsoft retail store as well as readers on forums have reported many of the phones not recognize any SIM cards, rendering the devices useless. Out of an entire batch at the store, only one Venue Pro would get on to T-Mobile's network, TmoNews was told.
The major bug comes after an already acknowledged Wi-Fi connection flaw and a minor headphone jack issue. All three suggest that the touchscreen slider may have been rushed to make WP7's November 8 launch. Dell has already said it planned a wider launch later on, but it's not clear whether this was due to production numbers or quality issues.
Dell hasn't commented on the latest discovery.
