  • Anyway to update this to icecream sandwich ?

  • not once in this video did he point out a feature that wasn't available on every android device other than screen size

  • galaxy note more better

  • my streak wont turn on if I hold camera and power. If I try to do it nothing happens then if i just hold the power button it wont turn on. I have to take out the battery to turn on. I take out the battery then plug it it. Press power get the no back cover pic, put in battery then back then it turns on but still wont boot. Also power + both volume buttons (holding) will bring up dell logo but will freeze on that. If I try to just boot it it loads the dell logo but then freezes on it. HELP!

  • @austnash head over to XDA forums. Gotta flash a new recovery. :)

  • Im using it tight now but the thing is i wanna know how to take screenshot

  • @IqahShafiqah You'll need a 3rd party application in order to take screenshots.

  • Thumbs up if the guy behind the camera sounds like Dr Phil :=D

  • This is a brilliant device, I sell mobile phones and have had many in my time, however this phone has been the best for me due to its screen size and i dont have to use my laptop any more. I highly recommend it to peole who are constantly on the Web, Emails, Videos, Pictures and PHONE!!!!

  • Dell Streak - hybrid phone/mini-tablet... Samsung now have the Samsung Galaxy Note, which is basically the same thing but a lot better...

  • @AventineRecords ....and a lot more expensive. I rooted mine and upgraded the software. It's great!

  • he forgot to talk him through his problems and give him advice lol (dr phill voice)

  • Im confused....Can u pls tell me whether u can take calls with it....Please reply...

    

  • @StateofMatterRox yes. it is a phone.

  • too big TWSS

  • Awesome device, bought!

  • Why cant I log in to facebook on the home screen of the dell streak

  • i bought mine today!!!! its great...have yet to put some more apps on it...the screen is clear and nice looking...touch seems a tad bit finnicky!

  • can i put a sim card and use it in italy

  • i can trade my htc hd2 for this phone i have to pay 75 euro extra should i do it?

  • i have one of those as a phone!!!

  • RIP

  • I wish apple made an "iPhone XL" that size, I love my 3gs but I would have no problem with it being bigger if it meant more usability.

  • I hate apple but THIS THING SUCKS ASS

  • It's just a huge phone

  • how much battery life time have?

  • @jeremiemnevill87 : Only due to the fact you cant afford one... !

  • Dell Streak 5 is the best phone out there

  • ts only as good as the service! I had the samsung galaxy & it SUCKED but if it I worked like claimed would have bean worth its weight in gold!

  • imagine how silly that would look holding that huge thing up to your head to talk

  • Would love to see more screen real estate in an edge to edge version.

  • So basically it's an oversized smartphone that wont fit in your pocket. It's a neat device, but it doesn't offer anything new. Web-browsing AND chatting with friends? Email AND social networking? Wow, I am blown away.

  • @s1kb45trd It fits in all my pockets.

  • just got mine. wish the next gen Dell 5 will decrease its size to 4.5 - 4.7 inches. I didn't realize how important it is to be able to operate a smart phone with just one hand, until i had to use two hands to work the Dell 5. it is just too big to nevigate as a smart phone.  it's a great mini tablet for it's size and portability, good for surfing the web and watching videos on the go. the display's sharp enough, still hope they'll increase the res for next gen's version, looking forward to it

  • lol it is rubbish as a phone, as you cant put it in your pocket and it would be really uncomfortable to phone with it, as it is way to big, and it is rubbish as a tablet, because it just isnt big enough to give you the right tablet feeling. THUMBS DOWN!!!!

  • @ds51120 You must be 3 feet tall.

  • è lui il predestinato

  • £199 at the carphone warehouse

  • Damn its sux..

  • very small :P! XD

  • Sorry but this doesn't tell you much about the product. He spoke about what most other tablets can do - only difference is that is has a 5 inch screen. Want to know more about the product than just web browsing. What about other features? 

  • If only it had a super OLED plus screen I would of been all over this.

  • If only I could use a stylus with it, then it would make a great companion device for me. :)

  • I got Streak 5 dell and i found some anywere is bug pic button side do not work, weather widget add weather than few later crash pop up suck. Streak 5 Dell money back has been. give you rate star 2 !!! suck suck suck suck suck...

  • If only there were no such thing as a locked device that came with contracts and butt ugly carrier logo placed on the device... Why o why can't there be a law that only allows unlocked devices :p

  • why dosnt dell advertize this thing?

  • what a pos

  • Is There an monthly payment for this ...

  • All my dellstreak does is load its so slow I want to smash it off the floor piece of crap

  • @TheMattJohn1984 You should get it checked!

  • I just wanna know if Dell is attempting to port the Honeycomb into Dell streak 5

  • The Evo 4g from sprint is about the same size and does everything what this tablet can do but faster.

  • @NICKDASLICK I have an EVO 4g and my friend has the Streak. They are no where near the same size, but yes the do the same thing. However, the Streak is really nice when not being used as a phone or in your pockets bc the screen is so awesomely big. Only useful for girls who may carry their phone in their purse all the time or people with absurdly baggy clothing and huge pockets.

  • i like the apple introduction video's more, this is way too serious, i want entertainment some bald idiot talking about "a magnificent device" LOL.

  • It is a android phone/tablet

    ........

  • 66 iphone fans hated this video

  • its only 5 inches, why not just buy an android phone?

  • I bought a dell streak dtopped it from waste height in its case and it sent black inch bloches through the screen. Never did my old phone or ipod have this problem and my ipod took a real hard hit. The dell streak has a serious screen problem and my wallet has to take the compermise for it. Just to warn ya

  • I'm going to wait till the Dell Opus 1 comes out end oft his year. It's a dual core android 2.3: for this kind of size I'm betting on more power and experience by Dell.

  • I bought DELL STREAK with no question since I was sure DELL + GOOGLE will do amazing. It was a complete fall and I am stuck with DELL STREAK 5 that is driving me crazy. Complicated, missing huge SIMPLE features, very annoying tiny mini micro font size for a 5 inch screen, NO ARABIC language. No EXIT feature for applications even the TASK KILLER doesn't work properly, NOW I am getting " Low on space" & "SMS memory space is full" .

    It if the worst on earth DELL and I want my money back ..

  • @kdabbagh100 you need to move back to the arab country you came from to get the arabic language version...8)

  • i wuld buy it if we didnt need a contract.. or it was like an itouch ish?

  • @lifeofear you can buy without contract

  • hmm its dell so will fail pc are crap but their pc over 700 are not bad dono how this really is

  • How u get it in red

  • Please .. do specify the RESTARTING PROBLEM.. WHILE YOU UTTER THE ADVANTAGES... :(

    And please also mentioned that there is no solution for this problem.. Cos you people forgot to QA the product..

  • check out curling on the market. works really well on the streak

  • thats too big for a phone and too small for a touch pad

  • All the things he explains, is done with Android. And yeah, this tablet has a larger screen than a smartphone, yeah I know it now... Bad review =(

  • is it a phone or can you get it plain?

  • @dkiu100 Just a phone. You can buy it unlocked.

  • Just when the hell is Dell Streak coming to Malaysia!? I've seen too many suckers around showing off their iphone 4, and I never wanted to buy that crap, so,

    Dell, Tell Me when the Hell is it coming to Malaysia!? I can't wait anymore! grrrragh

  • Case looks cheesy.

  • barf would be more useable

  • When you put that thing up to your ear....looks like a straight up 80's phone

  • looks awesome. I'm sick of trying to squint at pdfs on my iPhone. wonder how the battery life is...

  • Should I get this in red or black ?

  • Its like carrying a banana

  • gud

  • Android users, G(.)(.)gle is watching you..

  • Everytime Dr. Phil asks him a question.. He'll reply absolutely. Geez.

  • guy behind the camera sounds like jeff bridges.

  • 2:22... looks like a phone Zack Morris would've used...

  • Wow I love it already sorry iPhone. I think I will have to leave you 

  • Awesome device BUT to much glass I gave an evo and always worry bout bumping shit

  • Apple Sucks! Dell Rules!

  • @jeremiemnevill87 I AGREE

  • @jeremiemnevill87 DUDE R U SERIOUS.!!? STEVE JOBS IS CEO OF THE DECADE. WHEN IS THE LAST TIME DELL HAS PUT SOMETHING OUT THAT ANYONE WOULD REALLY BUY.? PLUS THERE COMPUTER ARE PURE GARBAGE. I HAVE AN IMAC AND A DELL AND THE IMAC IS BY FAR THE BEST COMPUTER I HAVE EVER USED

  • @13camtj Wow, don't shout! Dell's not all that bad. Obviously the variety you get with Dell is no something you can get with Apple. Apple is something for someone with a huge ass budget, but since the OS and hardware are very well tested there are hardly any bugs.

  • @TheOnlySaneGuy

    Yes I too. I got Streak 5 Dell money back and i found someone wrong Wideget add weather crash and pic button side do not work don't understand. Sprint EVO andriod camera is 8 mp and hot spot up to 8 is better.

  • @jeremiemnevill87 Yeay!! Totally agree!

  • @jeremiemnevill87 No. Dell is pure shit.

  • @jeremiemnevill87 This is a review its not comparing anything, so by you saying apple sucks your saying that apple may be better than this.

  • @jeremiemnevill87 HECK F**K YEAH DUDE....iPHONE...iPISS @ tht...SUCKS BIG TIME !

  • @jeremiemnevill87 jajajajajajajaja sure men, in your dreams.

  • can i buy this without a contract...i dont want a phone, just a tablet

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY you dont have a phone?

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY Yes and if you buy a 699+ laptop you can get the streak for $50 for a limited time. (US only, us candians always get screwed) :(

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY yes you can. It is about 450 dollar. 

  • @theimacdonalds its released already ?

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY yes I live in holland and in holland we can it's here on the internet for 450 euro's

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY Then buy the tablet version.

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY hahaha

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY yes you can for around 599$usd

    

  • @T1AOSUPERGUY u can buy it outright for like $450+

  • Terrible product... just like everything else Dell.

  • the guy kinda looks like sxephill

  • very good review !

    battery life is not emphasized ?

    thank u

  • So where does this fall? is it a mini palm pc, an iPhone, a mobile. I can seem to find who they are targeting.

  • Dr. Phil sounds like guy :)

  • "and are you a dirtbag?" lol Dr. Phil

    not making fun of Dell, they rock! go Dell!

  • Guys can you tell me were can I find a 5 inch android tablet that has no contracts and it runs only wifi? My ipod touch 4g is a cool gaming device but I crave for a big screen that I can fit in my pocket

  • A couple of times, the device did not do what this lead developer expected it to do! Why do they put people like this in charge of making these products? He looked as if this was one of the few times he'd ever used the device! Jeez!

  • i like how seemless it works. Screen should have been bigger. I wouldn't like to carry such mid size phone which is not a complete pad nor a complete phone.. its in between. it could have replaced the netbooks completely if the size was bigger.

  • why would dell put 1.6 and only use at&t....that company didn't even push this device..plus $550 are you kidding me....first off its more then the ipad which i had and sold cuz it did lack a few things i needed to be fully happy....hey dell take a look at the blackberry playbook which will be selling for under $500...then you got the galaxy tab which is being promoted by all it's carriers...also archos and elocity has tablet selling for under $400 with android 2.2..step up or step off

  • The battery cover is garbage it falls of way to easy and when the cover comes off it turned off the phone. So ur always restarting the phone. POS. Dell should have thought about that. Huge loss of time!

  • Can anyone tell me how to update my 1.6 to 2.1 or 2.2 in australia?

  • I noticed that battery life is not emphasized.

  • very good review !

    how to use enter key on keyboard ? plzzzz help

    thank u

  • Looks like USA has good range of new tablets to choose from - her in U.K it's iPad dominating, Archos and Samsung Galaxy is to launch in next couple of days under lots of hype. EPAD sounds interesting:)

  • Do you know something guys?? 5 inches are too small! Also the price ...well is way high for what it does.

    Anyway i bought mine from ebay at 7 inches it called "EPAD discount Android Tablet" , it is cheap its screen is good for constant reading , it has camera , mic etc and to say the truth i use it even in my job.

  • I got a evo and its huge i cant walk around with a laptop in my pocket lol...

  • I dont consume books, i tend to just read them. 

  • does anyone have this phone ? so they could tell me what they think thank you

  • @MrJoshrocha I've played with it at Best Buy and it's pretty nice. I've always like to have a big phone.. I use to have the HTC HD2 and this phone is a little bigger. It's a great phone. I just don't think it's worth $300 with a 2 year contract.

  • Dell, i really like this. But i make a non 3g model!!! Please lol.

  • when you are designing phones centered around facebook! and if you buy it too for the same reason.. you know you need to get a life! :P

  • Lol people who hate the iPad can't afford one

  • @lschlachter1 i love apple product but ipad i pretty much pointless

  • That guys basically regurgitating what Steve jobs said, and the streak is like a big smart phone

  • this guys bling blinging

  • TO BIG.I HAVE LG OPTIMUS AND U SHOULD GET THAT ONE

  • hmmm ok but... Will it blend ?

  • @7fractal LOLOL i cracked up when i read this

  • ALL THEY DID is make the screen bigger. Bunch of bogus

  • He said exactly what jobs said

  • Christ this product is as boring as the guy.

  • €600 for this small device? My Ipad 4-life :D

  • @Pforpappi ur ipad cant call anywhere iphone pwns the ipad. ipad is just a big ipod touch

  • @Pforpappi May aswell get a netbook than that pathetic ipad.

  • dell do not wan to kill laptops

  • i have the same polo

  • This guy has an awesome waving hands :)

    The phone is too big.

  • too big to be a smartphone, too small to be a tablet pc @.@

  • @imsimplyleo I totally agree. i see this device and i ask.. why would i need this?

  • I have this phone its awsome! simple to use every thing where u want it, not been able to put it down. makes the experia feel complicated and crap! feels like a big iphone with big screen great for net/vids.

  • @classicshit1 would you say its up to par with the iphone in terms of performance? and, what is your carrier?? i might want to get this :)

  • @classicshit1 can you do free online skype video calls to another computer?

  • I had a bonor for this phone but dell killed it with the prehistoric software that they were releasing and their lame marketing, now i'm patiently waiting for the Windows Phone 7 :-D

  • @ebradahusla wouldn't they update it to Android 2.2?

  • Oh, look! It's so cute! And marginally bigger than my Droid's screen! Wow, with that half-inch, I can *almost* imagine I have an iPad or a REAL tablet!!! Guess it doesn't make phone calls like my Droid does, though...

  • @rrdvrk i understand you feelings and i agree with you but the truth is not everyone need a "real" tablet. not everyone is into playing halo or running Adobe CS5 from their palm. i'll be willing to bet most tablet buyers arent super techy driod OS tweakers wanting to port programs from their Linux box. Real tablets arent as marketable. MS tried it and it didnt go very far.

  • it looks so goofy when put up against the ear as a phone!!!!! 

  • Absolutely ... :)

  • all i like is because it's android, it has fastest cpu right now, and 5inch screen

  • we will change to the streak for developing petitpetit now. dell was simply the first company to really deliver a tablet based on android. certainly bigger screens would be better, but you just can't get one right now.

  • i will buy this

    

  • i had one of these as a free upgrade from o2 and i took it back after 2 days as the back has a desgin fault, the back plate kept falling off and then the tablet just turns off, from reading on the net i am not the only person to suffer from this maybe a the dell streak 2 will be better.

  • its like what a psp should be

  • hi

    got one a few days ago

    it's a beautiful design; sleek, simple and the screen has a wonderful crisp brightness about it but why on earth would Dell produce a phone of this size with a key pad which, in either landscape or portrait, the buttons are fiddlier than that of a smaller touch-screen phone? (also the text function has no return key just a pubescent smiley emoticon)

    ..speaker quality is appalling too

    right now, i'm desperately looking for some good points before it goes back to o2

  • the dell streak is just an oversized smartphone that cant make very good calls...but no offense

  • everything is good except speaker phone. When you use speaker mode for phone call, the sound coming out of it the worst of all. Volume is not enough as well as sound quality is the poorest of all other phones.

  • it looks retarted when you hold it up to you face

  • Why do you all insist that this is supposed to compete with Apples iPad?! It's NOT. This is a hybrid device. If you want to talk about a similar product to compete with iPad then google Samsung Galaxy Tab.

  • yes you can buy one unlock for 569 I can tell you the website

  • Great Video...

  • this is the stupidest product ive seen in my life...why the hell is it 1000 dollars??i can get a ipad or a android mobile with 4.7 inch screen for half of its price

  • @hedarfoota it's not 100 it's 559

  • @hedarfoota Which phone would that be?

  • Man i feel so good to have the best phone ever. Droid x. Hell with streak, it is big, specs sucks, and it has android 1.5 i believe. Hell its like having a new computer that comes with dos. They are stupid not putting out something better then droid x and evo with the same screen size. Damn dell lost their mind.

  • if it's cheap

    I'll buy it

  • No USB plugin, BIG MISTAKE!!! I would never buy it on that.

  • the guy sounds like Dr. PHil

  • @My360Xbox

    yeah i think he is

    hello dr phill how are you

  • Wow, the future is now!

  • Is it easy to upgrade to newer versions of Android on this device?

  • the evo and hd2 were really stretching the size..this is just rediculous..

  • looks rushed Android 1.6 and no confirmed date for 2.1 nevermind 2.2 also way too expensive it costs more than an ipad

  • smart tablet

  • I like this size.

  • is the interviewer Dr. Phil

  • @raulie24 de ja vu.
