I would pick the tab: bigger screen, more updated OS. Samsung is more responsive in updating their devices while Dell is slow and doesn't care...

I played with the Dell and hated it. Landscape only home scren and the icons looked tiny to me.

Not to generalize, but if it's anything like dell computers, I'd stay away. Too many bad experiences with their hardware.
I've never used the streak though so I'm biased to my tab.

The 5" is really not much bigger than the normal 4" or 4.3". You hardly feel the screen size difference.
The 7", although in words/numbers dont seem much, in real life you will IMMEDIATELY see the screen real estate difference.

The biggest issue is that the additional screen real estate of the Streak didn't come with a corresponding resolution increase, just a change to the effective dpi.
Personally, I think the Streak is too large for a phone, and too small for a tablet. YMMV of course.

Streak feels cheap, isn't a tablet. Tab feels good but isn't a phone unless you are one of the very few people out there that can pull off wearing bt ears without looking a test.

Streak surprised me when I first played with one. It looks decent and if it had come out on TMobile, I think I'd be using it now. But Dell's lack of Tmobile, and dragging it's feet for 2.2 put me off. Now the Tab's out, not an issue.
Didn't help people's perceptions of it when it kept being compared to the iPad as a tablet lite, and it wasn't, it was a decent sized phone. Nothing wrong with that, just not what the media tried to hype it up to be.
Battery life is above average apparently, bluetooth support was also good, supporting keyboards as standard when other phones were needing to be rooted/flashed to enable.
As it is now, with 2.2, it looks decent. If it had come out with 2.2, 3 months earlier than it did, it'd have done far, far better.

I had a Dell Streak and last week I sold it and I bought a Galaxy Tab.
Dell Streak was interesting device. All were impressed by them at first sight.
I think the Galaxy Tab is better as tablet device but as phone is streak better.

Get a Dell Streak or ....

I was highly impressed by Streak's 5" Inch and good battery life. However lack of development on software side is forcing me to think otherwise. I plan to buy from ebay, and my observation is I9000 is the same price as Streak. Spec wise I9000 is better than Streak apart from battery life and screen size. HD2 is cheaper, has the same proc as Streak and has a slightly larger screen than Galaxy S. HD2 and Galaxy S both have very good user base and lots of custom builds are being developed.
Am I wrong to think that it would be foolish to buy a Streak now and instead should go for HD2/Galaxy S?
Your feedback is kindly appreciated.

Forget the Streak (or any other Dell device). Dell just isn't up to the task.
Aside from the glacially-slow development times, the hardware just isn't 2011-quality.
If you can wait a bit, I would wait. If you cannot, get a Galaxy.
(Too bad HTC doesn't make a larger phone like the Streak.)

It's very much a question about what you need in a phone..
The streaks are unique in using a 5 inch lcd. you can really not get the experience in any other phone.
The very special use/customization of android is also unique. I love it because the super good readability and space for text input.
The HD2 is running windows mobile os, which is ultra customizable, but requires you to be willing to use time to make it work as you want.
Galaxy S phones are very good in their own way. Good implementation of android, and easy to operate. Good screen as they use s-amoled technology, very rich colors (some say it is too rich, so it becomes unnatural) but at only 4 inches, it's a bit crowded when you input text..
My thoughts only...
EDIT: maybe I should include the EVO 4G/desire HD to the mix? Good quality hardware, very innovative, and 4,3 inches.. Very good alternative indeed.

If I could go back, I would not get Streak simply because it is made by Dell. Dell doesn't have experience in making phone, and unlike Apple, they are never been good in software either.

Thanks for input guys.
It's a shame that Dell failed to provide support for their first venture into android. Wonder why they are releasing new handsets in this competitive market.
I am looking for a balance between value for money and spec. Galaxy is good spec wise but ~£100 more than HD2. Pros- Better proc, better battery life and possibly better custom build support in the future. It's negative points would be- smaller screen size (better qual though) and poor build quality.
HD2 is relatively cheap now compared to it's spec due it based on winmo. However there are loads of froyo builds available now. Pros of HD2- 4.3" screen and price.
Desire HD is very expensive atm.
I am inclined towards HTC HD2 now.

I had the galaxy s for 4 months. Loved it at first then started finding all the screw ups samsung made. Flashed every custom rom i could find. Seemed like i was constantly trying to fix something that was borked. Love the streak. Not NEARLY as many problems as plague the galaxy s phones. Just read their forums. Gps problem this......lag problem that.......etc etc. All true. Big headache.

Go for the Streak, with some simple tweaking it rocks. No other phone even comes close.

Great to hear streak has good potentials cause I just ordered mine at usd$154 on starhub 2 year contract.

Oh dear! Yesterday it was 3-0 against Streak. Two points for Streak today and now the margin is 3-2 against Streak!
From what I understand, none of them is perfect, but the question is which one is more productive?
Galaxy S does seem to have a lot of bugs which again pushes me to opt for HD2. Mind you my original choice was Streak, and the reason I am reconsidering my decision is lack of development on software.

Streak 1 man show (DJ Steve as a Dev) do we need more NOOo, I don't want to have 150 different thread with roms, and an extra 300 threads of people crying about stuff not working, LAGFIX what lagfix we dont even have lag, I'm still running Steve's 1.1.1. I have and will NEVER run Official anything on my Streak, I have a friend with an X10, it has some issues, for example no stable froyo no multi touch, not enough ram, colrs are not displayed correctly, Galaxy S, you need Lagfix WTF is dat? will never know, GPS fix... and so. I have zero issues besides my faulty internal memory and perhaps the most annoying i can find on my streak is that the compass is a little bit off by 3 degrees or so. But I love this one man show everything runs smoothly I don't get crazy force close, shut downs, reboots, I don't need to load roms using a PC I just copy update.zip to an SD bam ROM flashing on the road. can you that with Samsung? Sony ? no I haven't mentioned HTC because I havent played with one yet but I'll drop it here too if I use one.
to add more HD2 someone metioned WinMo 6.5 that can run Froyo with no issues and I bet thtat's what the OP will be doing
At the end you pick what you think is best for you, personal choice Streak wins all the way, I'm not a person who is always talking on the phone I browse and text more than what I talk hence my inclination towards the streak.
and which one is more productive? good question some say more "royalty space" or screen area makes you more productive hence dual monitors @ offices and stuff. So there you go that feeds my answer so go Streak!!!

Samsung releases devices then moves on. Be careful believing they'll roll out upgrade after upgrade.
People can complain about Dell's decision to put 1.6 on the device, but they've promised 2.2 by end of year all along.
I want froyo... but 1.6 on the Streak is still very solid.
To me the question when buying the Streak is exclusively about form factor. If you want a big pocketable device... the Streak is great.

Agree with all of the above, +1 for the Dell Streak!

100% Streak

I've had the streak since day 1 that it was sold in the US, and I've done all the ROM's that DJ_Steve has released (Man, that guy is crazy amazing) I used to be the guy who got a new phone every month, trying to find something even better. And now, I've had the streak for a while. Its just so....big. There's nothing like pulling out your phone and watching a movie on the go on a big screen like this. There's no way I can go back to a smaller phone. And for the people complaining about performance, sure, I can see that if you remained on the stock 1.6 (even then, it wasn't so bad) But with the mods and RoM's that are coming out rather regularly, this phone blows everything out of the water by a long shot. Highly recommend

for Dell Streak owners for 2 months +
How is the battery life in Android 1.6 and Android 2.2 ( froyo ) for a multi-tasking usage ( GPS , browsing through 3G , browsing through Wi-Fi , listening to music , watching videos or movies )
You feedback are highly appreciated

My HTC HD2 died from touchscreen death...so its fresh in my head.
To me this streak i got to replace it is head and shoulders over the HTC HD2.
yes its bigger but its proportional to an HD2 so your not walking around with a giant square screen or nothing. the Streak fits nicely in your hand.
i could not be happier with this streak..

I came from a HD2 and I loved the phone, after my contract ended, I did consider just sticking with it cos I couldn't think of a phone that was better than it and did not want to go backwards with screen size, until I randomly walked into an O2 store and saw this monster and had no idea what it was, had a play around and I liked it, youtube more of it when I got home and thought I really want it.....more than anything it was just the sheer size that sold it to me....never used android before and I've only heard good things about it....so I thought what the hell, and I have to say....not been disappointed at all.
I've been on 1.6 since I got it in July and I've been happy with it, but just recently, after installing the official 2.2, it changed everything and I can't believe how much quicker it is, especially after some extra tweeks. The phone still has some problems but not enough for me to hate it and if you look around, I'm sure you'll find quite a few threads of people complaining about his that and the other with some people truely hating the phone. But if your a patient person who doesn't let the little things annoy you too much then the Streak will be great to use.
But if you want a solid phone, then you won't go wrong with the HD2, I would have loved to try Froyo on that bad boy. HTC did a really good job of stuffing the phone with a great UI and lots of little features. When showing the phone of to my mates, I could sell it to them with this feature and that feature, but now with my Streak...I can't really think of anything to try and show them bar showing them how awesome the massive screen is. It's almost like HTC made the HD2 awesome for your where as you have to make the Dell awesome for yourself if you know what I mean (having to install updated firmware, fill you phone with lots of apps, choosing your own UI etc).
As for the Galaxy S, I really didn't like the feel of the phone itself, fair enough it has Froyo with a good UI and lots of little features, but the phone felt soooo cheap and tacky I didn't think much of it, where as the Dell streak feels nice to hold (it's not perfect, bit of flex, slightly loose creeking panels) and the HD2 was even better and felt really solid (though didn't like the curved back with the sharp camera pointing out).
Sorry for the long post but thought it would help with the more detailed opinion. Let us know what you decide.

No doubt, Sense is good, I like it a lot. Recommended the HD2 to a friend of mine and he is very happy with it, out of the box. The basic software on the Streak is quite bland, but now that I have customized my setup it looks and works great, too. Straight stock Android is really ugly, however, just like WinMo you can turn it into whatever you want. You can get Sense on Android, too and it has all the bells and whistles as on WinMo --- just not on this 5" monster.

I have had my Streak since day one of uk release..it's the best phone I've ever had and to be honest Its the only phone that I haven't thought about upgrading / selling on ebay after 6months.
I used to use my laptop for everything now I rarely use my laptop for anything as it's always just pull out the streak and away I go.
And ever since we got Froyo on it (thanks DJ Steve) it's just amazing.. as I said used to use Laptop for BBC Iplayer, now just watch it on the streak!
Yes I agree People will buy what they need but everyone should at least consider the streak... especially if there trying to cutdown the carry weight of day to day gadgets!

Agreed, I'm lost for ideas fir what to buy myself for christmas this year. Last year I ordered an N900 but it kept getting delayed so I bought the milestone. And finally THE STREAK arrived!

Coming from Samsung Captivate... What is good? what to expect?

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?

Expect greatness

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...

G4TV AotS Reviews The Streak

G4 TV's Attack of the Show reviews the Dell Streak and gives out a 5 out of 5: Dell Streak Tablet Review
Dell Streak Tablet Review (Gadget Pr0n)
Posted: Yesterday 5:30 PM
The Dell Streak tablet is one of the smallest and lightest tablet computers yet. Weighing only 7.7 oz and with a 5" multi-touch display running on Android 2.2, the Dell Streak offers web surfing, email and dual cameras for only $100 with a contract. Chris Hardwick and Candace Bailey review the Dell tablet.
What You Need To Know
We've used a thousand Android devices so we know what the good and bad ones feel like, but this Dell Streak tablet was really good.
The touch screen is one of the most responsive we've used with the swiping, scrolling and multi-touch all on par with an iOS device.
The Dell Streak also has a unique X-Y axis design where you wipe up to get the menu, and swipe left and right for different home screens.
Users will be pleasantly surprised with how well the Dell tablet works.
Dell also included a bunch of custom widgets, like recent applications, music shortcuts and social networking.
Each widget is the size of a home screen and are extremely well designed, which we applaud Dell for.
The Dell Streak is almost as fast as the iPad or Droid X when using apps.
The tablet is a little behind when launching our favorite app, Angry Birds, but we still think it's quick enough to handle every day tasks.
The 5 megapixel camera comes with a flash and a second front facing camera for video conferencing.
The dual cameras are only okay.
Pictures blur easily in low light with just a little hand movement, even with the flash.
You can also record HD video but it's kind of mediocre.
The front facing camera is only VGA quality but works as advertised.
The Dell Streak's web browsing features were really good.
The tablet has the same browser that every other Android 2.2 device has, but the 5" screen with multi-touch really makes it work well.
The Streak supports Flash and feels faster than even the Samsung Tab's browser.
Price
$100 with an AT&T contract.
$400 unlocked on Dell.com.
Rating
5 Seals of Approval out of 5.

Is anyone else interested in the mystery Toshiba 5.1" Prototype?

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)
