DJ Steve has some overclocking 1.26Ghz goodies in the pipeline too. The man is on fire with his Streak development.
Has also done wonders for the Orange San Francisco Android phone.

Yes I agree, the Froyo upgrade is transformational.

While I am looking forward to the release of the Dell version, I have no interest in adopting it.
It is needed to provide information to allow DJ_Steve to complete his ROM.

He must be close by now.

Interesting... What make Froyo so different in experience? Are you referring to the change from 1.6?

As Average Joe said Live Wallpapers are actually more cool then than the gimmicky concept would suggest. I love them and can see them evolving into an art form. They are definitely a worthwhile enhancement

The big plus factor is Flash, not that I am a fan of Flash and probably agree with Steve Jobs.
But Flash is incredibly ubiquitous and it is a nonsense to be deprived of access to it. I don’t care if Flash becomes obsolete in the future but it should be incorporated now. So when it is finally part of your device you get a sense of completeness which is justified.

Now I can watch BBC iPlayer broadcasts, to cite one major example.

Many apps and their significant upgrades depend on 2.2 Froyo so I no longer have my nose up against the shop window wishing for something I can’t have.

There may be other benefits to Froyo that I am unaware of and I am happy to be updated.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/23/a...480-screen-re/

4.8", 1024*480 and looks good to hold.

236 PPI



141.7 x 64 x 13.3mm 170g

That's versus 152.9 x 79.1 x 10 mm 220g of the Streak

Oh I don't know, isn't it too big to be phone and too small to be a tablet.
Sarcasm alert!

The Acer phone looks nice.
If I had to choose between the physical hardware (size etc) I'd choose it over the Dell Streak which is just too large imho.

Anyone seen this?

Engadget responded to my message and now they are slowly updating the reviews for phones that got software updates, of course they started this with the iPad review seeing as it is a techblog run by Apple *rollseyes

That looks exactly like the right size of screen - small enough to carry in a pocket, large enough (dimensions and resolution) to work comfortably.

a 5" screen is still 5" and that can't be altered. What Acer is doing is to increase the thickness of the device with a corresponding reduction on the other dimensions.

So that would be your choice. One of the reasons that the Streak is wonderfully manageable and pocketable is on account of its thinness. Your opinion not withstanding.
