Oh...that´s what EOL means... Not very moodenhancing...Dell should open up the drivers to the devs now...
The should be ashamed of themselves for creating a device with so many screen problems.
Unless they release another 5" device, if/when the time comes, I guess I'll see if I can find a 4.5 or greater screen and move on. I still love my streak, even with the quirks it has.
I'm happy with my Dell Streak 5 running Spidla's custom Simple Streak 1.2 ROM. Though, Gigerbread would be nice. I hope that Dell is working on it, despite the fact that it's the EOL for the Dell Streak 5.
I'm sure this means no future o/s updates (or any other kind of software updates) for our streaks.
Please someone tell me that im dreaming PLZZZZZZZZZ
Dell <----- F****ING BASTARDS
yeah **** news, probably the reason why DJ Steve and everyone else weren't working on any further updates. I guess they got a heads up before this came out.
Poor Streak, I guess I'll start hunting for a new phone as this one is nearly 12 months old, devices are bound to die just outside their warranty period
as long as we're around the streak will never die!
Lol no ones died. Just because dell have discontinued the streak doesn't mean they evaporate! Great phone just not marketed well enough

i too am sad.. but after talking to the wife about her streak, she wasn't really thrilled with it with the out of the box experience, slow, botchy..etc.
It will be a year or so before we see something new, from what I understand there are good reasons, mostly to develop a strategy for the software and better security.
I am itching for a new 5" with dual core, which wouldn't be an issue to make, but they are really taking their time to probably perfect both hardware and software for a huge release... Just hope it doesn't turn into a WEBOS disaster where no one cares and everyone else has already moved on.... but then again, I may have moved on already by then to at least two other phones.
It is funny how a device has EOL.. yet people still stop me and have never seen it before and want one instantly.
samsung is gonna release a 4.65" phone dunno if dell will try again with a 5" as it didn't go "as expected" for them
atleast it did go like their craptacular lappys..

And do they realize that it comes with the uber-slow StageUI out of the box? you also have to realize that most people don't tweak their devices at all. Both of those being said, most people are pretty positive about the size of my phone, but I always get the "does that even fit in your pocket?", and "why would you want a phone that big"... people like it, but not enough to buy it.
Plus, by design, it had plenty of flaws, they are probably tired of selling a device with such a high return/warranty rate.
gutted i got my phone on a 18 month contract & ive got 7 month left to go
now at.least we know a 5 inch device does not work. Its too big to fit on the pocket but too small for reading books and.pdf like a tablet.

Mine works great. The size of the phone is what makes it a niche device. I carry mine in my pocket and use an ereader almost daily.

WebOS simply bests android and ios in usability. Hopefully the crap that was wrong with the OS was hopefully solved. The way multitasking is handled is best among the mobile OS' that alone sets it above the others. Androids great and has a huge following. Same for IOS just too constricted. I dont need yall to agree either.
Anyway its my kind of OS.
I don't think I can agree with that. The new webos may be able to compete when its launched.. truthfully I've got my hopes a little raised but meh.
Let's just hope its not another disaster.

Youre speaking for alot of people.I dont see what is keeping Hp from making something like Vibrant with WebOS on it.
I will keep my beloved Epic until Galaxy 2 comes out for my Amoled fix,but will by HP's WebOS tablet so I will have best of both until HP fires everybody and start giving people full touchscreen phones that they want.
Good for you. It looks like a pos. Why bother posting this sh..t here this an epic 4g forum for people that will keep their phones not people getting a different phone. A waste of a thread for useless crap and non informational to anyone that owns an epic.

135,000 apps vs. 5,000 enough said.
Yeah... no thanks..
While I am not particularly interested in WebOs at this point I will say this...tablet is ok..Pre3 is nothing impressive..
I mean they are going with the same cpu as the mytouch 4g over-clocked to 1.4ghz and wait till summer to release it? thats not really going to stand out much against all the dual core phones...
If they released it now it would have been pretty good..by summer its a yawn...

lol.. well.. only more than 3% of the android apps have to be "good" in order to beat palms 100% of 5,000+.
but thats not the point. no one cares about # of apps (except poor W7 Phones).
seriously, no body switched phones for # of "apps". cough apple, cough, if 3% of Apple's App Store (+400,000) was useful, there would be over 12,000 useful iphone apps, and no one wants 12,000 apps on their phones.
but, i actually think the Pre will do good because Android is a POS getting their act together (we have to wait until 2.3 or 3.0+ for native Android video chat? are you sh*ting me?, wake up Mountain View, CA, you might be late, but you still missed the boat.). We have 4G (WiMax/LTE/etc), we want video chat on our phones, full web browsing, corporate email/calendars, and other standard features, and we want it to work, period.
The HP Pre 3 will hit a sweet spot of phone features vs. carrier support vs. developers. It probably will not be popular (overall), but, if you needed it, I'm sure it will work.
after that, its anyones game... blackberry, android, webos, ios, w7.. (+/- 3 years from now.)

McDonalds sells billions of burgers every year worldwide. Does that make them the best hamburgers in the world? Hardly.
Not to mention, how many of those apps are not actually apps? For example search for adw launcher, you get 100 themes or more... they're not functional apps.

Yes, I see you, you sexy little thing you, teasing me with your dual core specs, super AMOLED+ screen, and accurate GPS, working that pole at the Galaxy S..tripper Cabaret.
Last time around, you sucked all the money out of my wallet. True, you screwed me afterwards, but you screwed all my friends, too, you cheap little whore. You went on to imply that you were going to always be there for me and my friends. Turns out you decided to sleep with all of Europe and the rest of the world, plying them with your gingerbread cookies, but what do I get? Not even a happy ending.
You never even came back to the States. Nope, you stayed in Europe after that plastic surgery a few months ago, showing everyone else your new facelift and big tits, giving everyone else a taste of the new you. Now that they've had their way with you, you decide to come back to the States and try to entice me.
You're out of my life, Samsung. I'm not sure even an ice cream sandwich would whet my appetite. I'm gonna go out with my new friends, HTC & LG. Hell, I might even make a bong out of an apple. But I'm not going to give you a hit, Samsung.

Very creative OP!
You should write bedtime stories for children.
As I had stated in another thread, I could not go with another brand of phone. I could certainly go with another carrier without an issue, especially with the T-mob acquisition from ATT. I will never go with ATT, nothing but bad experiences with them.
The reason I will stay with Samsung are as follows.
More local storage, more app storage, more memory, better screen, gorilla glass and finally, faster phone in general. This is my experience and from watching specs it does not seem like this will change either.
This is the experience I have had, granted I started my android foray with the Vibrant and have only used friends phones for other models to test for short whiles, rarely more than a day.
In spite of a few gripes (let's face it, no phone can suit everyone) the Galaxy Note must be the best phone ever made. It has no major issues and is small enough to be used as a phone and big enough to be used as a Tablet. It is also at the forefront technically and will soon be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich.
No. Its just bigger and it has a pen.
And it will not soon be updated to ICS.
But it is the phone I like most, and I have had a few.

You seem very hung up on this point and are using a lack of official statement to conclude that no update will be forthcoming. Has any manufacturer put a time table on updates. HTC announced a few phones today that will be upgraded to ICS, but put no timetable on the process.
I'm willing to be patient and see. At worst, CM9 should be available, and if someone can extract the s-pen apks then that might be good enough.
I think its the fastest/highest resolution phone available at the moment?
Certainly it has the largest screen, but that does not automatically grant it the "best" title. Some would even consider the size a negative.
Its lack of NFC and a notification LED are among its draw backs. The s-pen is awesome and the fact that its optional makes it only a positive.
In the end it all comes down to preference. That said, it would certainly get my vote for best phone ever.

Friends,
I thought I should share this review video I came across. I have gone through so many galaxy note reviews, but this has been straight up the best. Really feel connected, and I think a lot of the galaxy note current users who love the phone would connect with the review a lot.. and those who are still thinking of buying a Note, definitely check it out.
Excellent review but you should have posted it in the review thread, I can smell the Ganja...
Interesting. I've come to the stage with the SGS2 where I need to gift it to my partner & get a new phone, it being a bit small now it seems to me. I've wondered about the SGS3 but that may not be a lot bigger, 4.65 rumor? So bottom line, the Note is really OK for everyday use?

Pretty good device still, but you'd be better off getting yer mitts on a Galaxy Note - way better hardware and screen, more user support and CM10. Always thought the DS5 was pretty moody - mine would spontaneously factory reset every month or so.
