I followed the X10 for sometime since it first appeared on the net. I have also followed Sony Ericsson since Ericsson, being a huge fan of their phones.
I was heavily considering purchasing the X10 about 2 months ago until I fell in love with the Streak. The Streak, a 1.6 loser like the X10, just appeared much better than the X10 (primarily due to size for me). Plus the Streak was rooted almost instantly unlike the very difficult X10 which appeared to be a group effort taking over two months. Too bad no 2.2 roms for either yet.
What's your thoughts? Do you feel the Streak is superior to the X10 or the other way around?
I saw a similar post comparing the X10 to the Galaxy S, which is an utter joke. The X10 is much better while the Galaxy S looks like a poor iphone knock-off Maybe you can compare the X10 to the Captivate...
.
Well I have both the x10a and the dell streak and I have to say I after my two day honeymoon with the.streak I'm back to using the x10a as my everyday unit... while I love the HUGE screen.of the.streak and multi touch it just not that practical and some apps don't work well on the streak due to dell messing with the dpi of the screen... I still HAVE GRIPES with the x10a but with news that there is now a possibility of cryogen 2.2 android coming the future of x10a looks bright... still love my streak but it an secondary unit in my opinion
my opinion. I rather stick with x10 which really look like a futuristic phone. practically in size, I can pocket my X10 which I think is impossible to Dell.
never mind, the copycat iphone look-a-like Samsung.
my suggestion, ditch your Dell Streak or like the others, use it as a secondary.
I like the idea of the Streak's big screen, but the resolution is way too low for that size.

I tend to agree. I still may pick up an X10 once the Streak wears off.
in my opinion i would rather call the Streak a table or a Slate than a phone. I mean sure, it's capable of what a phone does, but i smartphone that size could be use as a secondary pc. Nonetheless I still want both of them but I'm going to get the X10 this wee. Anyone know where i can get the Streak in Canada?
I own a Samsung Galaxy S ( I-9000 ) and it is very very slow due to the IO, and somehow my machine cannot root so cannot apply the lag fix....
I don't wanna to spend more time on it and I just wonder how Streak compare to Galaxy? Will Streak faster than Galaxy quite a lot??
Froyo just got onto Streak, and its super buttery now, super dooper buttery.
2.1 is perfectly acceptable as well though. Not sure comparatively with the GS, but I'm pretty sure GS is better at games, but in day to day the same (in terms of linpack, streak whips it though).
I'm pretty sure GS is better at games -> Agree.
GS load faster in 3d car racing game
Froyo is on streak ?

its badass
awsome, but might wait for a more stable release
Its pretty rock solid now, I think only rebel sim people would have problems with that build.

Having owned both these phones and dumped the Galaxy, I agree that the 3D chipset in the Galaxy makes it better at gaming and it also has a marginally better camera. It is also dogged by RFS (lagging), rubbish GPS and glacial development.
However, I read more than I play games (and Streak does gaming as well as anything like a Nexus One "super"phone), so the 5" screen is the "killer app" for me.
I'm running the Froyo beta on the Streak, and it's already stable enough for me to run as my day-to-day ROM - something I could not say of the Galaxy (JPK, etc, GPS is still borken AFAIK).
I'm sure CyangenMod will rock on the Galaxy - but I'm impatient, and I now have Froyo-going-on-CyanogenMod on my Dell Streak with a 5" screen.
The few games I do play on the Streak look great on the 5" screen. Oh, and Froyo on the Streak reportedly lifts the 30fps cap.
Edit: another reason I don't like the Samsung Galaxy S is because brand extension is already killing it and making it confusing. I too had the i9000, but now there are so many variations of "Galaxy S" I can't keep up and this contributes to development confusion (at least from the end-user perspective).

Thanks for ur view. I have galaxy s ,but i want bigger screen like streak.I have read and saw youtube videos ,people complaining about battery life ,loose back cover ,poor speaker ,unclear voice on other end,screen freeze or blackout.MOST POOR SUPPORT AND SERVICE FROM DELL ,SOME EVEN DOUBT EXISTENCE OF DELL SERVICE.
can you plz let me know your battery life,,application incompatibility,os stablity.
can i get atleast 2.1 official ???
also tell us problems you are facing with streak..
So check this out then. Please see the list here: Siemens sl45i, SonyEricsson P900, Nokia e61, Nokia e71, Nokia n97, Nokia n900, Dell Streak. All these cellphones were mainly used as extreme reader devices, and unlimited plan phones. Every time I upgraded my cellphone I was though, oh my, this one is so much better, than the previous one. With long awaited Streak in my hand I can tell you, it's truly incredible in the terms of everyday usage. Endless battery, infinite screen, no considerable flaws even in dell ui, which does not look too popular among lots of users.

Endless battery? Sorry, but that's just wrong. My Streak barely lasts a DAY on standby - and i have no widgets running either! Wifi and data connections turned off....
But, the Streak is an awesome device. The 5inch screen makes everything else look puny in comparison. =D Browsing is ok, texting is fine, and it works great as a media machine. My iPod hasn;t been touched since I got the Streak.
Oh, man, that sounds painful! Don't know if it's software or hardware related issue, but I'm telling you, my phone stays up all day with wifi, calls, market checks and casual browsing. And xdaing and engadgeting as well. And Jewelsing. And Fbreadering at night before I go to sleep. Maybe I got lucky with mine, but after Nokia N900 this one seems to have endless battery.
Try reflashing maybe or going up to Steve's 2.2 rom. Hopefully you're going to sort things out with you battery. I wish you all the best.

Yeah man, I literally upgraded to Steve's 2.2 after I posted, and the battery has been amazing ever since. With 2.1, if I left it on and went to work, then come back at lunch time to check on it, I'd be lucky if I had 60% left (in 4 hours) and it hasn't done ANYTHING. With 2.2, it was 95% after I left it for 6 hours (wifi off, date off, sync off).
So I'm quite pleased, and will be blaming 2.1 for my battery woes =]
I get that but no need to turn off anything
Howdy,
I am a tweaker/modder and love replacing graphics and theming. Been messing with some custom roms, modems and kernels.
I am very happy with my captivate and was showing it to one of my Dell Reps... WHAT!!! you were with your Dell Rep??? I am working on a large project which includes purchasing 20 servers and 4 sans... 10gbe backbone... etc... Because the project is so large, he is sending me a Red 32gig Unlocked Steak preloaded with 2.2.... He says it has a 15 day lead time.. but hopefully i get it soon....
Will my app backups from Titanium backup restore to the streak? Will i have to download all new apps because of screen resolution?
Any descent development going on? cooks?
i am sure i will start releasing some custom framework-res.apk and whatever apk the Dell uses...
whats good? whats not?

I too just came from the captivate and while that was a great phone it's got nothing on the Streak, in my opinion the Streak sits in a league of it's own and provides a user experience like none other. Yes it was big and kind of clunky for about the first day, but now it doesn't feel any different a normal phone, BUT the normal phones now feel small and difficult to use.
One major thing you WILL miss is the brilliant colors, clarity and overall awesomeness of the Captivates SuperAMOLED screen.
The Dell Streak seems to behave better then most other phones when it comes to mod'ing, flashing, rom'ing, root'ing - I guess it just seems to be a lot less ba$stardized than the HTC and Samsungs. This is of course MHO.
You will probably notice a difference at first in screen quality from the SAMOLED on the Captivate...but for me, after a day or two it wasn't noticeable.
I have a Commuter Otterbox on my Dell, and all I had was a BodyGlove on the Captivate, so the Dell is quite a bit heavier and bulkier--but still pocketable.
Working GPS, bigger screen, easier pc recognition, and all the "ohmygodwhatISthat? conversations are things you can expect...
I'm looking into purchasing a dell streak 5 for myself. To be honest the size is both compelling and making me a little iffy. I feel as if being so big would make the experience amazing, but at the same time it would make it annoying or even irritating in certain instances. What are your experiences positive/negative with streak (mostly related to the size) and what type of person do you think this phone is best for? (Business/Student/Anyone?)
I'm currently using a Samsung Captivate. Should I just stick with what I have? I am interested in other people's opinions.
Go with the streak u will not be disappointed.

If you want the biggest screen size phone, then the Streak it is. I don't think there's any 5" screen phone out there (not a tablet)
I love the big screen, but it is not really jeans-pocketable. I love it ... I don't think I would go for a phone a screen smaller than 4" anymore.
I suggest you go somewhere they have a Streak on display and see for yourself.

I have my streak in my pocket all the time. Its definitely pocketable as long as u are not wearing skinny jeans.

As an outdoor enthusiast I take my streak through all sorts of situations. Skiing, mountain biking, hiking, etc and have had no problems. I keep it in my backpack when skiing and biking because it can get in the way of leg movement and I dont want to smash it in a crash...but it is great to have on the weekends, I now dont have to pack my laptop to get work done on the weekends. Just take the streak and a fold up bluetooth keyboard and ive got all the processing power I need to be efficient. but in normal everyday situations I have not had any moment when i've felt the size of the streak was a hindrance. I dont make a lot of voice calls but if I did I would definitely get a headset because the streak can make your arm tired after about 20 minutes on the phone.
If you want the'n phone/tablet experience go with the Streak. Its the best phone ive owned. Captivates are also nice.
Delete sorry misread first post
I have similar problem to decide. Currently I'm using Samsung GT-I9000 which is very nice and of course a lot smaller then Streak.
There are few things that are holding me back:
- quality of TFT screen
- speed of built in GPU for casual gaming
- size
- camera quality
I've read a lot of reviews and opinions and some say that the screen is good, some say it's very bad... SAMOLED is great and I don't expect that from Streak but honestly I don't know what to expect? Which quality - like Desire, Wildfire, better, worse, same?
GPU is other issue - is there anyone who play games on their Streak? Is there any performance issue?
The camera - it looks like it's not like on my Samsung just like the 720p recording. Can someone share some info about this?
Thanks
The screen looks fine, of course it could be better, might be a reason to wait for a newer. 4.5" - 5" phone with a dual core, and better gpu.
The camera after my update to newest streakdroid ( my opinion) works flawlessly.
I play psx4droid, and gunbros, dungeon defenders and the latter can be a little jittery at times, usually it plays great.

I love it the screen is what I wanted it for the phones works without any problems for me, games are amazing to, I use fpse mostly and apart from the recent overlay pad issue in landscape mode, which has been fixed its amazing for games. I also put it in all my trousers pockets including my skinny jeans, and I'm talkihfhvthe really skin tight ones here. Cant say as I've experienced and problems at all with the one.

My better half has a captivate and I have an iPhone 4... I've had serious phone envy for a while.... I had an upgrade with AT&T to use so I started poking around and found this on amazon wireless:
http://wireless.amazon.com/dp/B003XVYBU8
For $.01 you really can't go wrong!
Now my lady can have phone envy for a change!! LOL
P.S. anyone want an iPhone? HAHAHAHAHA
If it was just $.01 I would already buy it but on this side of the planet it's just 500 EUR or ~$700 which is not that cheap.
Hi, myself being streak owner and having a couple of friends who use samsung captative / galaxy S I can tell you:
- Samsung SAMOLED is way better then dell streaks screen (quality wise).
- Samsung is more fragile.
- Streak is HUGE compared to Samsung's.
- Everyone thinks samsung is an iphone.
- Samsung is snappier then streak. (I'm actually disapointed with Streak's performance either in the GUI / live wallpapers and games).
- Streak's battery life (froyo 2.2.2) is better then Samsung's EVEN with a larger screen.
- GPS on the streak has a better experience.
- Sound in the galaxy is better.
- Video calls using ooVoo in the samsung is better.
Conclusion: Streak has better building quality and a bigger screen. Samsung has the best hardware.
mobility wise, I don't have any problems with its size. Everyone is impressed with streak when you pull it of your pocket. "OMG, it's HUGE! What brand is that? is that an ipad?" You get used to that really fast.
For what is worth I really love the 5" and build quality of streak but I feel that Streak could be better in many ways.
You should also consider the PDMI proprietary connector of Streak and the expensive official accessories.
I've been using my Streak for about a month now. I do like it. I came the other way, I was using a Samsung Galaxy Tab as my phone. I do miss the 7" screen, but it was a real pain to put in the pocket. The only other downside was having to have a Bluetooth headset with me at all times. I didn't really like that idea.
The PDMI connector on the Streak is the only thing I really don't like, but for ~$10 CDN I picked up two 1' cords to keep at work and in the car.
Ditch the Captivate though. It sucks. I'm still trying to get rid of mine.

Toshiba 5.1-inch prototype tablet eyes-on - http://tpt.to/a2gbSkJ - shared from Taptu
The Galaxy Note isn't quite right for me. It's a nice device, but I just don't like Samsung's ergonomic choices. Things like the volume rocker and camera position preclude using the device effectively in landscape, which is my preferred orientation.
The Iconia Smart is okay, but not much of a hardware upgrade from my trusty Spidey.
But this mystery Toshiba mini tablet looks promising! So far it's just a concept device with no plans for production, but I'm hoping that the Galaxy Note proves the viability of the 5" market segment.
Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
Well, it looks a lot better then Note and it should better fit the palm as it has different aspect ratio.
Very interesting device.
I'm curious n0p, what do you dislike about the Galaxy Note?
Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
I have the same problems with the note. I'm nearly a landscape-only user (which is why I love the streak) and just don't like that the Samsung Font is facing upwards then, the camera lens is covered by my hand, the buttons aren't in best position, etc. Of course this all is only a problem in landscape mode, but that's just the mode I like
Under these conditions, I'm really interested in the toshiba prototype. As n0p said, it seems to fit the palm quite good in landscape mode and maybe it could be a true successor to the streak
smnc, that's like...
OK, not to start the flame war
Design. It's cheap. I've seen black and white one and disliked both.
My hand is ok for streak, but not for note.
Unnatural display colors.
It's big, there're answer/hold buttons?
Dislike the centre button. What's it actually for?
Cannot see menu/back without backlight.
But fast.
Anyway not good for me.
Edit:
Almost forgot. Half price goes to marketing, even here, in third world country, I see a lot of commercials, ads and like, that makes it close to chewing gum in my opinion
The big center button is the home button, personally I prefer it that way, the back and menu buttons you can find by feel if you know where the home button is.
The S5 needs the leds on, though a raised home button would look terrible on the s5 because the note is designed as a portrait device and the s5 as a landscape device.
Goog's half-heartedly trying to standardize the buttons to "back" - "home" - "menu/alt-tab" and it kinda makes sense to me. There's a dozen or so combinations possible in the layout if you also include the optional search button. That and the menu button goes away in HC/ICS and becomes the 'alt-tab' button. Far too many combinations.
Would you prefer if they did what dell did and didnt spend any money on marketing?
Interesting. I don't have any problem with the way the Note looks, but I agree with the layout complaints. I much prefer the light up capacitive buttons on the Streak, as well as the feel of it in my hand, but my two big complaints are the volume rocker and camera placement. AFAIK, they're common to all Samsung phones, but they both make it impossible to use it in landscape mode.
Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
There's also the fact that if it's released with that 21:9 screen it's prob as wide as the galaxy nexus, anything that isnt 16:9 is rather uncommon and it being 5.1" is a bit misleading as that's the diagnal.
Same thing happened with 4:3 -> 16:9, diags are misleading unless they're both the same aspect ratio
Toshiba similar to Dell does not have a good history of making phones - most of them were not that good. I think Toshiba's 5.1 phone will end up similar to the Acer Iconia Smart/Dell Streak 5; a large screen device with minimal specs = not appealing to most users/small sales. At the moment, only the Note is worth the money you are throwing in a phone.
TheManii, that's what that button is for? Just kidding, i've played with Note enough.
And I feel ok having a unique device
Streak looks serious and sturdy, do like
And Streak has weight. Note doesn't.
--
Toshiba made some good WinMo phones, don't remember the exact model, but I think 1Ghz cpu first appeared in their phone.

Fingers crossed for this model go in production. Only hopes Quallcom won't be involved in this.
@Final5k
How does the Streak 5 not have good specs?
When it was released, the 1Ghz Snapdragon was the best processor available. Nothing was faster in a phone until the Optimus 2x, more than 6 months later. The screen and pixel density are good, 512mb of RAM is good. The only disapointing IMO is the mediocre camera and lackluster software support from Dell.
Sure the Streak is just kind of average now, but it's almost 2 years old.
Also, Toshiba might not have a stellar reputation for phones, but think of this as a small tablet instead. Toshiba has a long history in PC tablets, and the Thrive is a decent bit of work.
As for the Note, you've kind of made my point. It IS a phone. Just a big phone with a stylus.
I want a tablet.
Sure, I want voice capabilities, but if all I wanted was a powerful phone, I could get a SGS II or an HTC Sensation.
Sent from my Spicy de-blurred XT300
in the us the s5 came out around nov/dec and the desire hd came out in like dec/jan and tbat was the first s2 based device
the s5 was one of the final high end s1 devices released in the us, though its uk launch it was still relatively early in the s1 lifecycle
The Desire HD still has a single core 1Ghz Snapdragon though, AFAIK. The only notable improvement is the bump to Adreno 205, no?
My point is that the Streak wasn't horribly underpowered at release as some people seem to think.
Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
The bump to s2 was enough for them to warrent calling it the s2.
S1 to S3 isnt a massive archectural change, it's mainly the extra core and a clock bump. S4 is the first major change to snapdragons since they were released.
I dont think anyone called it underpowered due to the hardware, it was due to it still being on 1.6 which is definitely a lot slower then 2.2.
Being launched with S1 @ 1.6 is a hard sell when S2 and 2.3 were literally days away (i'm speaking again of the us launch, as i'm guessing many of us in the us wernt even aware of the s5 till the us launch)
Fair enough, I did mention Dell's "lackluster software support" earlier.
I was specifically responding to Final5k saying that the Streak 5 and Iconia Smart both having "not very good specs" compared to the Galaxy Note.
My original point was that the Note is brand new, built with current generation hardware specs, whereas the Streak is well over a year old, but was made with specs that were current and powerful at the time.
The Iconia Smart on the other hand is not really an upgrade from a Streak, despite being a year newer.

True, but I have yet to hear any details about it launching outside of China.
It is the TRUE successor, what with being made by the same folks who made the Streak 5 for us.
The LePad/IdeaPad S2005 sounds nearly perfect (although lacking the PDMI port).
Also, I'm not sure if I ever heard confirmation about it's phone capabilities.
Sent like a Streak of Light from Spidey, my Dell Streak 5
I say it's the sucessor because Qisda made the S5/7/Venue
Qisda also made the S2005, it's got identical specs to the 'Opus One' if it ever was released (if dell really did release it, it'd prob just be a modified chassis and identical internals)
I believe it's designed closer to 'an oversized phone' then the streak's 'miniature tablet' (though some of us use it as an oversized phone anyway) and does everything the s5 does but with newer HW. Pretty sure it can do calls as it really doesnt make sense for something under 6.5" to not have at least one submodel that can.
The lacking of the dell 30 pin port is the biggest difference, weither or not that's a good or bad thing is up to how many accessories you have for it.
Unfortunately yea I dont know if it will launch outside china, depending on how much they grill their devs it might be like the S5/7/V and also lack driver support
Hardware wise I'm more tempted to get the S2005 then the Note, I dont really wanna pay that much more for ultimately just stylus support. Yes the note is likely a good deal faster but it's a good deal more expensive too.
Software wise I'd imagine the S2005 would be like the S10, as in no real support at all on xda. (I'm pretty much the only dev for it that isnt in china)
