Whoa!! Sorry but that is too much of a bombshell to let pass. Can you back that up with solid information please?

If this is just your opinion then it runs contrary to mine and who cares anyway. However, if you can demonstrate that it is true then you have just ruined my day.

This is the crux though isn't it? Do we want to carry a bag or not. Personally I use a Hazard 4 Tonto most of the time and which will perfectly accommodate a 7" tablet

However there are those numerous occasions when a bag is not appropriate and I travel light with some cash in one pocket and the phone in another. So I have to say that as an all round portable pocketable device then for me the Streak wins hands down.

I can envisage many scenarios when a 7” would be preferable, but they are not sufficiently prevalent to justify my having both a 5” and a 7” phone.

A future 7” device will no doubt provoke sufficient techno lust that my rational decision making will fly out the window but the Samsung Tab is not that device.
