Thanks for confirming now waiting for it to come down to 13k .

Those who got the tablet and feel like everything is small, go to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display and change the scaling according to your comfortable range….

Also a must application for these small widows tablets is this one – http://www.lovesummertrue.com/touchmousepointer...

Download the stable version and bring back your cursor…It will be useful for non metro app howering thingamagingies ..Try the full screen mode, not that small trackpad…

BTW I own this dell venue 8 pro and acer iconia w4….I like the acer one more than dell…I know build quality and everything is better in dell but acer got more advantages…It has got an extra micro hdmi port for taking out the display….Also acer can power the portable HDDs without any problem….You cant connect a portable hdd directly to dvp8…Also dell will cause constant disconnection of power hungry 3g data dongles….

confused between Blackberry palybook 4G vs Dell Venue Pro:-{

Hi…the dell venue pro does not charge with power banks.
it requires a device called usb power booster…namely

It can be charged using Powerbank but you must make sure that it has 2 amp output
Tested in office today.

I have been through this conundrum….Some powerbanks that charges acer iconia w4 wont charge dell venue 8 pro…I have found out that its something to do with the connecting usb cable…’cause with the help of a small length usb cable I managed to charge both the tablets….Try all the micro usb cables you have…Some of the cheap power banks ship with small length usb cables like this …Try to find one…I am sure it will charge your device..And about your power booster, most of the so claimed “power boosters” are just fake like placebo sugar pills…It wont do anything….There is one more way to do this..There are some cables that have these switch to change the charging and data transfer…It will also help charging these tablets, like the one marked as B in the below picture…By the way the below configuration let you charge the tablet and use usb peripherals like keyboards,mouse,usb to hdmi adapters etc at the same time…Its only useful for desktop replacement stuffs…

And by the way, its back in stock @ 13.3K

Bro,You can use any keyboards….Though you will have to use that usb otg cable to connect either the wireless keyboard dongle or the wired keyboard…Bluetooth keyboards will be more convenient for those who travels a lot and wanna type regularly for blogs or to write novels and stuffs…I am waiting for a good deal to come up for the Logitech K400 wireless keyboard…It has got the track pad too….It will be useful if you do miracast to mirror your tab’s display onto your tv screen…

I received Dell Venue 8 instead of pro, when I contacted them they are saying they will give refund and not replacement, I told them it was not my fault they sent me wrong product but they told they do not provide replacement really disappointed.:-{

Seller was Pay Less. Actually I first bought from New Online deals Seller but saw many bad reviews and then purchased from Pay Less as his rating were good but still received wrong tab, now they are saying they do not have replacement policy in India and will only provide refund after item returned.

Damn he bought it from pay less seller too…He is out of station, so he told the courier to hold the package till friday…Now he will be in for a surprise when he opens the package…

hmm… I purchased two (one for my friend). One of them was purchased from Payless and it was Windows version only.

Really bad luck guys

Just go through the feedback for Pay Less on amazon and you will see that almost on every page there is at lest one feedback where people received wrong stuff. So never buy from Pay Less seller he is really a cheat.

Damn ! Same case here too bro. I too ordered from PAY LESS after cancelling the other order. The way i thought it, i thought the new seller will rather cancel the order than suffer losses.:evil:

And when was your shipped ? I ordered on Friday night but i didnt paid until Sunday and then only it got dispatched on Monday. But it was only today morning that the tracking went live. And tracking isnt working properly as well. It just says “ITEM BOOKED” . No more update until now. I was worried about tracking until today. Now, i feel like cancelling the order

Yours got shipped from this which place ? The same place as on the pic? And when was it shipped ?

edit : sorry for the link. Didn’t knew how to upload a pic. Thought it will work.

Maybe yours was the 1st one. He must have shipped yours correctly and thought to fool the others And since mine was shipped today and since PRO is not in stock currently, i guess VENUE must have got shipped.:cry:

@akhilgopalg bro, dont cancel the order…Let them deliver the package…Who knows may be you will get the DV8P….Otherwise you can always return it and get full refund…Dont throw away the chance….

Mine was shipped from Bangalore, also don’t cancel the order as many have received Venue 8 pro, just let it get delivered and then see, if it is venue 8 then just return it and get the refund.

@sence and hemanth :

I wont cancel. Let it come .But so far, it doesnt seem like getting delivered.Expected date is Friday though. One of my old orders( a normal one, not loot) was shipped via BD and BD kept showing same status until expected delivery date and then amazon CC called saying unable to deliver and cancelled. Lets wait n see. Read few feedback on seller’s page saying he shipped VENUE instead. Lets see
