So with rumours of streak 2 floating around, have you had a good enough experience to get the second incarnation?
I think I would buy the streak 2 so long as its the only 5" phone. Im sure they will address some of the build issues and if they could refine the form ever so slightly and improve the rear speaker it could be perfect.
Its worth addidng this was my first android phone and I found the streak a great platform for the android os, I would only consider an android phone next time.

I feel the same way. I went from an N97 to a htc hero, which hooked me on Androids openness, and now with the Streak, im hooked on the 5 inch screen. I had a play with a friends desire(sounds bad lol) yesterday, and its just ....SO small. I dont think I could comfortably go back to such a small screen.
I would definitely buy the streak 2, with the improvements youve mentioned. My only hope, and this is nothing against Steve(I think 1.7 is fab), is that I hope that there would be one or two more rom devs for it.
The only other thing that vaguely interests me is the samsung Tab, but the fact that its Samsung puts me off. Lack of official updates, etc.
needs 4g
much better cameras
working video chat program
better battery cover door
kickstand
a touchwiz feature of having extended controls in the notification area to easily disable wifi, bluetooth,etc
separate video chip.
Agree with all the above statements...would gladly buy this form factor again but if htc made one it would be hard to pass up and I would probably say bye to dell

Yup...yup...yup
Best phone I've ever owned. I'm not saying it's perfect but it is the best. I want a 7" screen with 3G phone function, without having to hack it. As long as this is the largest screen I can get with a phone, I will keep buying them. It's well worth the money.
I'll buy the streak 2 if it has..
A simple LED notification light would be awesome...
microUSB instead of PDMI would be nice (but probably will loose HDMI out? I don't use that anyways)
Better front camera (something that works better with low light scenarios as I go out at night a lot )
Yeah everything mentioned here are much needed improvements. Ill be in the o2 shop the day the streak 2 is out, but ill give it more of an inspection before I make the purchase.

my only wish..
Support their product much more...
Streak - Worst advertised and promoted.
yes, I think I want another tabletphone about 6-7", has to have better resolution, maybe 1080, better FFC, dual core, and more than 512MB RAM.
if streak 5 ver.2 is anywhere close to this, I will def. consider it, but might wait for a tab2 with phone support hack.
the 5 seems to be getting smaller everday but overall happy with it
4.25 stars from me....

I SWEAR I THOUGHT THE DELL 7 WAS THE STREAK 2
I dont understand why I camt just videocall straight from the dialer like I could with my last 4 phones. Whats the point in removing an already established feature? Is this an amdroid flaw?

I would if the streak 2 had a dual core processor and they where able to cut the size a lil but keep the five inch screen oh and android 3.0 and better camera.... but all in all I think dell did an ok job on this first streak except for the fact that it came with 1.6
I've got my streak a week ago and I will feel bad if there will be new version . Lol.

OoVoo works so much better and u dont have to deal with reregistering.
Mobile2mobile and mobile2pc. Front camera support. And make voice calls over data. Free is th best part.
I would love a streak 2 with a dualcore tegra, higher res screen and dell to learn to make builds that dont suck. This is by far the absolute best phone i have owned and i have had a lot of them. 3 in the last month. X10 (sony os support is terrible) Hd7 (great but needs some updates) and then this streak. Everyones jaw drops when they see it!

yes it is really sexy. Especially with the lapdock included...
but I prefer to wait iphone 5. I used to have iphone, not only i need bigger screen for browsing. But also can put in my pocket.
so I buy dell streaks. Im expecting the iphone 5 with 4.3" will enough for me instead of 4" which evry people were talking around
I'm waiting for the iPhone 7, it'll be a piece of crap like all the others but at least I won't have to waste my money for a couple more years.
im waiting for the samsung infuse, closest thing to the streak, yet so different
Apparently the screen size on the infuse is going to be 4.3 rather than the originally announced 4.5"... There was concerns they couldn't get enough 4.5" screens to meet demand. That's the story atleast. It's not really a huge difference though.

I am waiting for the iPhone 10 they say it will come with a file explorer and some kind of hyper-mega advance app that will allow me to download files from any website (without having to do any workaround or purchasing a downloader or ifiles),but in the meantime and after selling my iPhone 3GS 2 weeks ago I will keep enjoying my monster phone/tablet....on top of this the battery is lasting longer and I could afford to remove iTunes.
Didn't palm try and come out with a lame laptop thingy and it led to their demise? I call it a bad gimmick all the way.
Loving my streak and will only up to the opus

I'd wait until later this year for any upgrade at this point. The makers of the Tegra processor claim later this summer will have a chip equal to dual core PC's.
That's the leap i'd like to make.

Recently got Galaxy s2 and I was getting bored with dell streak
I am still debating which phone to keep
Here are my impressions.
Main thing I find different
First the most imp thing - There is nothing out there in the market at this time that can compete with our 5inch screen
Screen : Miss 5" Dellscreen ( SGS2 has 4.27inch screen ) . Miss the fun of reading emails, browsing pages and articles . This has been the biggest dissappointment for me so far. However Quality of the screen is better in GS2 with more vivid colors
If u r into documents and editing streak will kick SGS2 in the ass.
Speed : To tell the truth , I have not seen much difference . My dell streak running 354 stock had no issues with speed. I will say SGS2 is slightly faster but i dont think it makes any difference. Aint there a limit to speed ?
Battery : I think its the same. May be SGS2 consumes more ( There are reports of many people having high battery drain)
Warranty : Had so much peace of mind with streak as I had US warranty.
SGS2 in US has European warranty. Will have to see how things will work, if i need it.
What makes SGS2 better
Feel in the hand : This SGS2 wins handdown. Very light weight and thin. Very easy for one hand operation. However, the build is not great. Plasticy feeling. I dont feel as if i am using a high end device. I feels like a toy
Camera : any day better. I thing i hated in streak , is its camera
Video chat with gtalk is now possible. ( very useful for me )
Internal storage is 16 gb . Now i have a total of 48gb to play with ( however 32gb card on dellstreak was plenty enough.
Support : Now i feel what the android development community is like. Dell streak only has steve and his teams support. They are probably the best , however l am loving the contribution from many developers.
The best thing is samsung has given 5 handsets to all the cyanogen developers for development for free... I wish dell did the same thing to our developers.
CWM support is default . Meaning flashing from recovery is a breeze. U can run cwm app and all is done.
Ports : micro usb is standard.
Here is the best thing OTG support for external usb is default.
Loving the fact that i can connect any usb drive, keyboard or mouse to my phone. Wont be doing this every day but love the idea.
Accessories : Are now sparse but hopefully will get better.
There are some apps in samsung like reading hub that I think is useful. Touch wiz is no go for me.
Finally
- There have been many reports about battery drain, yellow tinge on the screen, pink spot in camera , etc > However i was lucky not to see any of it so far.
- I also believe that any 5" screen phone will never get the same user base and hence developer support as some of the other smaller form facor phones.
To conclude :Inspite of the positives of SGS2 i listed, I still believe that dell streak annouced more than an year ago is a beast device. I am still debating , but looks like I will keep my new expensive toy.
If u have questions thrown them at me.
"The best thing is samsung has given 5 handsets to all the cyanogen developers for development for free."
Wow! I will write to Dell if they can do the same. Never know until you will ask
The streak is a discontinued item. Dell won't do anything for an old device when they barely cared for it when it was new.

http://www.dell.com/streak/
I have had the Streak since the day it was released last year. The screen size is fantastic and I am generally very happy with it. But now I have had enough of a phone that's too big for my pocket and bought the SGS2. I miss the big screen and the nice screen density of the streak but I will learn to live without them. I also have a galaxy tab 7 which I use when i want a big screen experience.
The story so far....
G1
Milestone
Streak
Galaxy Tab 7
Galaxy S2
to be continued ;-)

The streak had been discontinued by att in april/may. I haven't seen one in the 6 best buys in the area in the last 6 months. So other than dell(leftover stock), what retailer sells the device? I only see no name places on amazon mobile. The advertising/support for the streak 5 was crap when it was sold by att so why would dell all of a sudden commit harder to the phone when it's life is basically over?
It's a great phone but dell screwed up from the start by not getting the device proper exposure.

In my Illinois Best Buy near St Louis, they still had black Streaks in stock in mid May. They still had the operational model on display. The model wasn't out last week, but I didn't ask if they still had any in stock.
I paid 2400rmb for my streak,that is 2200rmb lower then galaxy s2 right now.So may be I should just sell my kidney for a little bit improvement?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
The Streak is more comparable to the Samsung Infuse's 4.5 inch screen. I've moved to the Infuse because of the better screen, better camera, and better speakers. The Infuse stock ROM is faster than Dell's stock. The Infuse also easily last me a whole day with moderate usage.
I don't recommend the streak anymore,specially after all the comments related to broken screens,the screen is also sensitive to humidity,static...no way.I would go with the Galaxy S2 but I think I am gonna go with the Infuse.I know the Galaxy is better but I got kind tired of buying the latest toy....there's always "the latest toy" plus if I buy the infuse I save $200.
with 5" screen, Streak's stil the best except you want other kind of tablet replacement with bigger dimension as GTab or ipad, etc
I prefer galaxy s2 than dell streak.
I'm probably going with the s2 this fall/early winter...the streak (for me) will be year old in November. Being single, with no bills, it's nice to be able to have the latest once a year or so
I can live with .5" smaller screen, at the same resolution, dual core, 2.3/.4, and (hopefully) a larger mod community.
Dell & at&t dropped the ball on this one. If the Streak2 came out with an AMOLED screen, I'd give it a look, but it sounds like it will have the same style LCD screen as the current streak.
Friend of mine as the galaxy and the BRIGHTNESS of the screen is just unbelievable, so with the "super" AMOLED screen for the S2, it should be even better.
It will be hard though, to get use to people NOT saying "that is your PHONE" when I pull the streak out of the belt pouch I carry it in
A piece of friendly advice:don't expect too much for amoled,the colour is unnatural,the power saving is not worth mention,and the worst part is,reading text on amoled/super amoled is a pain in the ass.
That's why galaxy s2 uses super amoled plus.Still,I would prefer slcd rather than amoled family.

I still love my Streak, and am going to stick with it. Because of the tracking issues with the iPhone, my wife wants to get rid of her 3GS. We will replace it with the S2. The release date for the U.S. is supposedly Jul 2011.
I just go my S2 today.
So far I love it. There may be a Streak for sale soon.
I do miss the 5" screen, but the S2 has a 4.3 and it is sooooo much more portable than the Streak.
I do love my Streak though.
If I sell, I am sure I will take a look at the Opus.
Later
The Best Buy near me had none on display, and was also out of stock. I checked BB on line as well, and no Streaks were available there either. I may try to pick-up another to have on the side, as I don't want to go to a smaller screen size when this one dies. I have no problem putting the Streak in any pants pocket front or rear, I have sat down with it in my back pocket and have had no issues with screen fragility. Basically, I love this device and I'm disappointed that it won't be readily available much longer...
ITS DONE
Samsung launches GALAXY NOTE just 3 minutes ago in a conference...watched it live on phone

I hope the size could a little bit big. I have a big palm.

sold !
I'm sold on the size and battery !
Now, you early adopters need to find the quirks, I sure hope they aren't bad !
For sale:
G2
Nexus one
Both mint
Woohooo a manufacturer listened !
Will see, overall looks great device! But in my opinion is too big for phone - in comparison with Galaxy S2 - 25 additional mm. in lenth, 17 mm. in width. Stylus is good idea, I'm missing it since I left Windows Mobile
Looks pretty nice. I don't think the size will be an issue, but we'll see. If it performs well I'd consider buying it. I don't really like the idea of a stylus, and I think specifically pitching it towards a business market is not such a great idea. You could easily pitch it to both business and gaming or entertainment spaces given that huge screen.

As much as I like it,this is too big for me.I am still getting used to my GSII size after the previous 3.7" phone.I love the stylous,it would be great if they sold it seperately for use with other phones.I also would love the 7.7 or the 8.9 tablet with this stylous

I wonder what sort of developer support there will be for this. Quite a few people expressing a strong desire to purchase this.... more people than I imagined would from what I have seen so far, but equally, and as expected there are a fair few who feel that this would be too big for them.
I sit firmly in the "this is the ideal size device for me" camp, and unless the next Nexus is this size, or slightly bigger, then this will be my next device.
Aaaaaannnd I'm returning my galaxy s II for this......

I just read on Forbes' website that Dell will be building "tablet-phones, based on the Streak 5", for Baidu Yi (Baidu Yi is the Chinese equivalent of Google (China's predominate internet search engine). The article went on to say the new OS will be Android-based, but will be stripped of all Google services (but will still run Android Marketplace apps).
This is great news for us.... China has, by far the largest mobile device/phone user base.... much larger than the U.S., so further development for our devices from Dell may actually happen (can't hurt, right?)

Hey Htc..... THAT'S GREAT!!! I'm hoping Dell will have more Streak success in other parts of the world so they don't abandon the 5-inch platform in future development.... It's like Grandpa H used to say.... "the pioneers take all of the arrows but they also get all of the land" With larger-screened phones becoming more the trend nowadays, I'm confident Dell would do much better with a "Streak 2" (provided they advertise it and above ALL else, make it available on other carriers in addition to aTnT)
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Its ironic that Dell decides to drop the Streak 5 in the U.S. only when other carriers are stocking 5" screen devices. I cant recall any other phone device that was yanked from the u.s. Market only. Still cant get what dell was thinking!
I wonder if that's why Samsung has "No plans" to release the Note in the US- because the streak apparently failed...

Let's Be Honest!
I have a streak, and it:
-doesn't look very good,
-doesn't feel very good in your hands if its not in landscape because of its curves and weight ,
-it doesn't have a particularly good screen either.
But I love it! -and that doesn't mean it ticks Everyone's boxes. The only box it Ticks for me is the: Big Screen, and Thats it! If they'd change these things, I'm sure it would of been a hit!
Samsung saying they have no plans for The Note in the us does not meat they wont sell it in the US.
Well zsolt, I happen to like the appearance of my Streak as do others, because I'm constantly complimented by people who say how cool my phone looks..... and I pretty much always use it in portrait mode. Maybe you have unusually small hands or I'm the true freak here However, I do agree the screen resolution could be higher....
