Re: Dell Releases What n900 Should Have Been (Dell Streak)
 
Well, after using Dell Streak for 1 month now, I don't look back. N900 has lots of advantage, but 5 inch screen makes the different. Kindle, Asphalt, Flash 10 (yes, Colbert, yes!), watching divx and tv, with big screen is excellent ! And there are more apps.....

Froyo is really great, but I miss the video chat on Skype, and I miss that FM transmitter..... But well you can't have everything, can you :)



Cheers,
Ex-N900ers (are we there yet ???)

i wanted some advice guys,

i want a phone/tablet kinda like what n900 right now but i want a bigger screen and dell streak 5 looks just right for browsing and watching videos online. is it worth getting it now or wait for a 4.3 SGS2 with super amoled plus?

for those of you who've used the dell streak 5 how long the battery last for mostly browsing?

im also looking at ramos w7 mid but it seems its only android 2.1 and no 2.2 option at the moment.

Dont get it, my friend purchased one and its not as great as it looks.

My advice with any android phone would be to get something that supports the Cynogen flash mod. Basically all manufacturers add bloatware and stupid changes to the Android OS that gimp the system.

A phone supported by Cynogen will let you flash the entire device into stock Android which will run like a dream even on a rubbish HTC wildfire.

I think that a good general rule in this fast-paced situation is not to buy anything unless you just can't resist. I think there are more five-inch devices to come soon -- from Archos, for example, and more from Dell, etc.

In what way? Just curious, my experience differs.

Actually there isn't much bloatware in the O2/Dell OS - I can't speak for US carriers though.

In the meantime, why not just flash with DJ-Steve's rom? That gets you to a very pure Android. And it is fast, many of us report Quadrant scores of around 1,750.

I have had my Streak for 9 months and look forward to the next generation of 5" phones. I shall be first in line.
