Hi All,
I know this is a HD2 forum, but I was just looking for some opinions on the new Dell Streak now on o2.
I am pleased with o2's phone releases since losing exclusivity on the iphone, and this recent release is quite impressive (and huge!).
Anyway, thoughts please...comparisons etc.
Thanks.
i was looking at that today..
i was considering getting rid of my hd2 for it..but then again..my pockets arent big enough for that phone lol..
so i decided to jsut stick with the hd2 untill they can port android on it or tmobile gets another android device with a 1ghz processor
too big , low quality plastic easily scratches, lower ram ,only landscape
Dell are calling this a tablet to be in the same class as the iPad. So considering the streaks screen is only .7 inches bigger than a hd2's what does that class our device as? A mobile phone, a PDA or a tablet? By Dells reconing it would be a tablet but the streak is really nothing more than a PDA with a phone module. If you look at it this way i'd rather keep my HD2.
I would like to have a play with one to see what its like, but according to the specs, its is huuuge! Would dwarf my HD2.
My feelings are I have had my HD2 for about 8 months now and it is still top end smartphone on the market. Not many other phones I have owned I can say that about. Roll on the next 8 months!
Thanks for the comments so far. I do not think that the Streak's screen size is big enough to warrant calling it a tablet, also, the casing around the device just makes it bigger than it needs to be IMO.
IMHO, I feel that the HD2 is still the best device on the market simply because no two look alike once XDA possesses your soul, and I am still interested in it 8 months on.
Come on competitors, what else can you throw at us? Try harder!
This is exactly the sort of device that I'd replace my HD2 with IMO. Rather than trade down for something with a smaller screen, because lets face it, I don't think any HD2 owners would ever consider doing this after experiencing such ease and clarity with a bigger screen, so the only option is to upgrade in size, and this device certainly ticks the boxes for me.
I love my HD2 and everything that I've been able to do with it since reading & putting into practice all the tweaks that I've learnt of this site, but I'm now feeling like enough is enough as miss the android feeling as it's more 'with the times' than WM. Android itself is growing at an alarming rate and will no doubt be the number 1 mobile OS in a very short time, and the dell streak is the perfect device to complement it.
On a slightly lesser note, it's a shame the device didn't ship with 2.1 or 2.2 but I guess at the time of production, 1.6 was version on offer. I also think the price is good, so selling the HD2 and putting a few quid in seems well worth it.
Too big.
The step from HD2 with 4.3" and thin frame to 5" and thick border is the one that kills convenience and portability for not much. The HD2 is very comfortable yet just fits well in the pocket, but nothing bigger would, and on the other hand 0.7" don't change much in usability.
Android might be the (only?) interesting point.
Just played with 1 in store today for about 10'
It's really huge, not fit in pocket absolutely.
But the screen and colors somehow amazing. With TFT screen, the screen is like a bigger one of HD2.
At 1st, I like the way Dell skin the homescreen, smooth and fast. We can choose how many homescreen, and manage the background apps (somehow).
No double tap, just pinch to zoom when browsing, got flash too.
5mp camera seem not so good.
Looks good apart from it being landscape only. I prefer to hold devices in portrait unless viewing photos/movies, so this alone rules it out for me
Just done some more research and it appears that the Dell does have an accelerometer so should work in both landscape and portrait, can anyone confirm this? Can you type etc in portrait?
didnt know it was landscape only, I am sure this will change with an update though. I have to say I was tempted but I think android has a way to go yet, it hasnt even got a decent video player yet - coreplayer may change that soon though... (dont hold your breath though)
I want one. Hoped I could purchase one from the UK but I would have to move there to do so. Got to wait a month. I hate waiting for anything.

I'm really tempted by the Streak now. I love huge screen and rarely make phone calls, but I love Winmo too. It's hard to say goodbye with my HD2
I like big screens but the dell has a little too much unused extra dimension for me. I'll wait for the Sony Ericsson 5.5 inch android phone
Actually probably not, HTC will probably have a 5.5 inch out first with minimal bezel like the hd2, and I'd want to get that one.
I have been trying to replace my iphone for about one year. I haven't found anything where the plastic is as nice and I like the way everything looks on the the iphone screen. Tried a few WinMo phones, but everything always looked so TEENY on the screen. A few weeks ago I bought the Nexus One. For a day or two I considered selling it and moving on to the next device, but little by little I am liking it. [I wish the screen was bigger.] I was considering the Dell. I like the Android o/s - **LOVE** Swype. I am getting very good at it now. I had a tough time typing on the Nexus, but with Swype my 'Swypos' are minimal !!
I have Tmobile. Not sure what other phones I could use. Want to stick with Android though.
The only thing that impresses me about the Dell streak is the Gorilla Glass

And to think that I was thinking of getting a screen protector for this bad boy.
I took my friend to go get one yesterday, well what a joke, the guys in O2 aren't allowed to sell it sim free (in my town anyway), they didn't have one on show and we wanted to see it and have a play we both had to put our HD2's behind the counter so they would let us play with it for 5 whole mins (WOW).
So car-phone whorehouse we went 6 of the guys in their didn't even no what it was, even though there was a big poster on the wall, the one guy in there that could help, said yes we sell it sim free £429 i thought thats not bad considering, so he go's in the back to get one, comes out all red faced I'm so sorry guys we haven't even got it in stock yet, were not getting it till next week when the Dell rep comes, (What a joke surely you should no if you have that brand new device in the store yet), so as we walked out laughing we though Phones4U, hahahahaha never had such fun in my life spoke to a girl in there she just look puzzled, then the manager came over, he asked what we wanted explained what it was showed him the leaflet and he said were not getting that phone mate tbh were a sh%t store and just laughed. So he didn't get one went home and ordered one on-line, morale of the story don't go shopping in a poxy town like mine.
After playing with the device got to say it is fun, but
Too Big to use as a phone
landscape only sucks edit(turns out Paul confirmed its not)
you're gonna have to use a headset of some form to take calls
screen is tuff as boots.
I'll stick to the HD2 thanks
The HD 2 was and IS the best Smartphone on the market TODAY, until the HD3 comes
HTC has the most experience in building WM-devices and Android ones and - except obviously raped and misprogrammed Network-Provider-ROMS such as O2, Vodafone, T-mobile - has the most stable performance. I bought mine with HTC-stock-rom, and since ROM 1.48 (and the great mods from the geniouses here at XDA) no freeze occured ever. It is serving me without any flaw all over the world, and this is exactly the same experience that I always had with my Touch HD.
@hoss_n2
You know what you really do post a lot of rubbish on this forum and seem to be seriously misinformed to so I'll answer you points.
too big,
Maybe for you it is but that's just your personal opinion after all for many others it's a great or even perfect size.
low quality plastic easily scratches
Really and you know this how? I played with one today and it's a great quality plastic and feels really good and it's to early to say if it scratches easily or not as no one has owned one long enough. If you mean the screen as well that's also wrong as that's made of Gorilla Glass and their was a video of someone attacking it with a ball point pen and no damage was done check YouTube or Engadget to see it.
Oh and that's not just MO either but that of others that have already got their Streak which includes Paul from MoDoCo. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive.
lower ram
Really as Paul has just been running some tests on it seeing as he has already Rooted it yup in under 1 day it's Rooted and it's showing 408mb of free Ram so where do you get this low Ram idea from then.
only landscape
LMAO just wrong nothing more needs to said here it works in landscape and Portrait modes don't believe me read this post by Paul on MoDoCo where he confirms for some one that the seesmic app goes full screen both in portrait and landscape ?
In fact read the whole thread for his first thoughts on the Streak.
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-streak-thoughts-dump-got-questions-ask-here/
Having now seen one hands on as opposed to just pictures or videos it is not as big as i thought it was going to be, now if it's to big for you only you can decide but it has to be bigger then an HD2 to fit in a 5" screen.
Marc
I have had my Streak for a couple of months now and when i first got it the screen seemed HUGE.
Now whilst im still really enjoying it im wondering if i could cope with an even bigger screen................cough.....cough....Galaxy....cough...tab ....ahem
anyone else thinking along these lines?
I dont feel embarassed holding up the streak to my head on the phone and tbh no one has ever looked at me funny when i have done so.
I really dont use my phone much to talk so the size issue isnt that much of a big deal
i still love my streak and i dont fancy paying out £700 for a tab but 7 inches of froyo and flash goodness is tempting.
The Ipad IS TOO BIG!
You should try samsung galaxy tab and viewsonic viewpad 7 both of them is 7" screen and will be coming out soon.
Coming to the Streak from a 7" apad I'd say the 5" is better. The 7" screen is good but still just too big to be pocket portable. If you've a bag or a case to put it in then fine, it's a good working size. 2.2 Froyo might be a problem though if what I read is true. Froyo won't work well on tablets, it was designed for smart phones, even on the steak I see a lot of apps that just don't cope well with the extra screen acreage.
youve become desensitized. go hold an iphone for about 3 minutes. itll seem microscopic and then when you hold your streak again itll feel huge again. and youll be happy you got your streak.

funny you should say that but i compared my streak to a friends i phone yesterday and it did seem huge
we then drew up a template of a Galaxy tab using the measurements and that seemed very big.
Basically the whole streak is about the size of the Tabs screen!
im not un happy with my streak but as a rare talker on mobiles and i do put my streak in a bag it might be worth a thought esp with phone capability to consider the Tab.
when i want to carry a phone in my pocket i get out my old Hero i.e. in the evenings

i did just that when i was out shopping, popped into the apple store and compared iphone4 against the streak......i just couldnt put up with such a small screen..
It's never felt that big to me.
I was playing with my advantage the other day, 640x480 5" screen it's bigger than the streak.
How far ahead of the game HTC were with that device, pity they didn't go with Bluetooth keyboard for it, could happily use that and the case it came with the streak then.. except four the magnets everywhere. .
Anyway the steak it's prefect size to me sometimes I wish it were a bit taller in landscape orientation, so I could see a bit more, but otherwise it's fantastic!

I had a advantage in the past and was also (still am) tempted to buy a shift...but I use the streak as my main phone..and i do alot of calling and have ALWAYS just used it on my ear and it feels fine...i think its just what you become used to...starts to feel normality to you

Oh dear that doesn't sound good
dell's size is quite alright, it was not as monsterous as I have expected. i don't know about the 7 inch tab though, might be a bit too big for me
I held my old HD2 the other day and that seemed big at the time, but now it feels small! I remember when i got my HD2, I was playing with it for a few days and then played with my Xperia X1 again and I was like 'whoa this is TINY!' and when i got the X1I though it was big . Weird isn't it.
My sister called for my mum yesterday and I handed my mum the Streak, she didnt know what it was! I was like,its a phone mum, she just held it flat in her hands in front of her and was like 'Hello hello?!', as if she thought it was automatically on speaker phone or something, old people make me laugh!
i played with my touch pro today. ^_^ how did i survive? a two and a half in screen. and i used to watch videos on it! its smaller tall than my streak is wide. still, my streak doesnt feel as big as it did the first day i had it. i dont think i would like a phone that is bigger than the streak, but maybe a larger screen. there is alot of bezel on the streak.

I played with several 4 inch screen devices and it was JUST TOO SMALL! Now, I'm considering screen size > 4 inches pretty much as a MUST have option.
I'm considering devices like the Acer Liquid (with the 4.8 inch screen) and the Samsung SGH-i997 Infuse 4G (yea right ATT!!) which has a 4.5 inch super AMOLED.
Am I the only one who's been SPOILED ROTTEN by the Streak's 5 inches ????
Nope, I'm right there with you. Those 4" screens, now, appear too small for my eyes.
My wife's Captivate seems tiny when I pick it up. I am really glad I got the Streak.
My Nexus One just seems TINY in my hands now. I love that ppl ask "what is that thing" and I have to explain that it can make phone calls! LOL.
And to be sure, if there were a 5.5" phone, hell, maybe even 6" if it would fit in my pocket, I would jump all over it.

Yes, Size Does Matter
I can TROOLY testify to that. Once I got my grabby hands on The Streak, there's no going back to anything with a smaller screen. I tried using my old HTCTilt2, just couldnt do it.

Exactly, I experienced the same.
One day I went to phones market, the seller tried to offer me Galaxy Tab, I said it is too big. He offered me Samsung Ace, I said it is tooo small and asked him, do you have something in the middle. Defiantly, he replied no it is not available (because dell is not available in my area). Then I showed my sweet pretty dell. .

I love the size of the streak. I would not go to anything smaller. It would have to be 5 inches or bigger but still pocketable.

I agree with you guys,I freaking love when I go to the bar sometimes and enjoy my drink and my Streak.It is so much fun to get online with it or when I am on my recliner at home,my wife used to make fun of me but now when she sees her little android phone she thinks is so small.Even people at work don't make fun of me at all,I let them play with it and now they are all jealous.
I am extremely happy with the rooted Streak and I don't think I could go with anything smaller that 5'.Now I am just waiting for Netflix someday just to make it even better.
Mine seems to get smaller everyday.
Im looking for a 7" (scrren size), hopefully not more than 8" overall; for a tabletphone. Streak 7 has an article with amazons upcoming releases, it says a Samsung and Acer 7" device both with Froyo in March/April 2011. Anyone heard more about these devices
Ideally I would love to have the front mostly all screen, with minimum rom for buttons, mic and front cam etc.
other wishes for my 7" dream phone: 1.2 ghz dual core, 1gb ram, HD graphics, 1200x800 res. , HD front and back cams, oh yeah and 4G whenever AT&T upgrades.
pros and cons either way..
i will say..when i have been geeking on the streak for a week or so and switch back to my hd2 it feels like a novelty item or toy...lol
but truth be told i am not a LARGE man...so the streak is a bit much for a pocket or day to day calling... at least for me..that and the camera flash is pathetic...the camera is ONLY good in well lit or daylight shooting...
NOTE TO DELL..if you want to sell and manufacture phones... use a good camera and music player...
if you cant get either of those right just hang it up .....
All phones are to small now i love my streak
I'm sure you have experienced this one. I use a BT 100% of the time. I'm constantly for work reasons, on the phone, and have to look something up. Most of the time, when I hang up, someone will say "is that your phone"? And they they say "hey xxxxxx", come look at this, THIS is a phone!
Most of the time, it gets passed to 2-3 people that have to put their phone on top of the screen and say "his screen is bigger than my entire phone".

I'm liking the Streak for it's pocketability, not so much for the screen size. I had a Galaxy Tab and it does have a phone in it, it's just disabled by default in North America. I flashed a ROM on it to make the phone work and was using it all winter.
The only problem is it's only speakerphone without a Bluetooth(SpaceMan)Headset.
Besides a 7" Device would look kinda stupid being held up to your head.
I do miss the HUGE 4000mAH Battery though. Better screen resolution too.

Really like Nexus one, I think it is still one of the best designed Android phone.
nexus one
+ WORKING MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN
+ a slide-out qwerty keyboard
+ 4.0" rather than 3.7" screen
+ more ROM space and RAM and improved CPU and GPU
+ dedicated camera button
+ dedicated call and end buttons (no idea why phones no longer use these)
until this phone comes out, im sticking with my n1
I made it to my there to say goodbye
i still have my nexus one and i want to upgrade to the galaxy nexus. but to be honest i am quite sad because i do not want to leave my phone that has so much great memories in it same reason i did not buy any other phone till now
My NExus one died yesterday night, it fell on its screen and hit the corner of a wooden desk, it was such a hard fall that the screen shattered from the inside and now its just black.
I was literally this close to crying for it, and if i wasn't a grown man, i wouldve shamelessly wept over it!
The touch screen still works perfect, but its just black screen
Guess I'll get a samsung galaxy S2, I liked the galaxy nexus, but its pretty much the same, only the s2 has a micro sd and 8 mp over the galaxy nexus
And with cyanogen, am sure we'll be seeing the ICS ported out reaaallllyyy soon
You're not the only one, I dropped my Nexus about a 5 min walk from house yesterday and now I have spiderglass, touch screen still works though.
Was thinking about the Galaxy Nexus also but it wasn't what I thought it would be so I am gonna go with a SGS2 also.
Its a curse how many of us most of broke our phones on the Nexus Galaxy launch day.
My thoughts exactly!
It's just that having the being obsoleted hardware buttons would probably suck especially if it's a new phone. Thoughts?

Well, actually you are keep both of them, one for day-use in front of the public, the other one for bed time.
Sold my N1 as well. Damn fine phone, but I got a good deal on a Nexus S. I decided to jump while I could get a decent sale price on the N1. There are some things I do miss like that goofy trackball. You get used to LED notifications and having a physical button for pictures.
LED notifications are awesome...
Black screen
I have a glass shattered N1 but its just not powering on , when you guys say "touch screen works , but black screen " means does it vibrate and power on or nothing happens when you power it on ....
I wish I never sold my N1.. people are telling me it's worth quite a buck even now!!!
I miss the trackball, and the LED glowing different colours lol
And the AMOLED screen! (awesome for it's time, and although Samsung still looks after us there, I have a HTC Desire HD with crappy LCD now)
Although I heard that later N1s came with a SuperLCD instead of AMOLED, following the shortage loooool
Main reason I sold it was because it only gave 128MB of app memory (as opposed to Desire HD's over 1GB, and newer phones slightly more). Even with Apps2SD (to move the majority of app data to SD card), it still wasn't enough for the hundreds of apps I wanted. Oh well..
Such a great phone. I dont want to think about the day ill have to part with it.
Anybody else trying to hold out for the Nexus 4?
Hang in there! We got Ice Cream Sandwich to squeeze some more life out of our N1s!
I'm going to at least get my hands sticky with ICS on the N1 before making any big decisions.
Lol, I have tried to replace the Nexus one two days back with the Motorola RAZR but I could not do it. Though as I could not return it and had to exchange it I got the Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and this seems to be a quite persuasive phone. The only problem I have ever had with the Nexus one is the calls voice quality on my N1 handset. I am more convinced its my handset not every N1 as some of my friends claimed a great quality voice calls on theirs, but fixing that will be messy . Though no the N1 is not going to away, its just will be my secondary phone for my personal phone . Maybe you can call it he is upgraded .
Starting sunday I will be a proud owner of the new At&t Samsung Note. I would like to thank everyone here for the help they've provided and all the support that was given to me. For those of you that will make the switch with me to the samsung note fourm see you on the other side. For those of you that will remain here it was nice knowing you and once again thank you for everything. farewell.
Same here I will be switching over too. I hate to leave my streak but it has been a great ride. Thank u to everyone.

I didn't really feel that was the case for me personally...when I held them side-by-side. But I must say the Note feels more comfortable to grip overall.
I probably won't get the at&t Note until the end of this month/ start of next month. Hoping that stable ICS will be out by then...or even if not, I'll finally get it due to impatience.
But for the time being...I'm planning to use my HP Pre 3 again next week....Much different from the Streak and Note...but still 55555 times better than iPhones.
It's not so much the .3" difference, but the reduction in bezel. Oh, and the massive bump in resolution. Night and day. Also feels much better in hand as it feels so much thinner and with the rounded back. The drop in 40 or so grams also helps too.

It's not so much the .3" difference, but the reduction in bezel. Oh, and the massive bump in resolution. Night and day. Also feels much better in hand as it feels so much thinner and with the rounded back. The drop in 40 or so grams also helps too.

oh nothing major, just, you know, the size.
I always use the phone one handed and with the streak I sometimes wish it was just a couple millimeters smaller. I must admit though that the note fits better in the hand, maybe it's because of the reduced width or the chassis design, don't know.
And another major point is that I'm not going to repeat the streak experience with manufacturer support and such (although I am pretty sure sammy is not going to screw up as dell). the nexus line will always come first, update-wise, and that's his major selling point for me.
I'd light to hear more information about people that make the switch, stability of the customer roms on the Nook, for example, wifi when sleeping. And other con/pros.
Note is a great device,smooth and awesome,still,I am gonna to stick to streak for now.cuz note is too expensive in cn,one note=two streak and more.besides,note feels like a toy.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Anyone wanna give away their unused Streak? Lol. I'm half-kidding. It's just that I keep running into problems with mine. The internal sd needs to be reformatted.
