Dell Streak 7 Tablet Review

[armata94]

Can you phone/txt people from dell streak 7????

[gronek20000]

Hi Lisa, thanks for an excellent review!

Question - without a contract will I be able to use the Internet, say in a wi-fi cafe?

My Kindle does it even with 3G!

Thx

[MobileTechReview]

@gronek20000 Yes, you can use WiFi if you have free access.

[RodneyFessler]

I'm watching those video on my streak and yes its multi touch

[killwillykill]

is it multi touch

[RonHarrisMe]

Ignorance is defined as a lack of knowledge. Why is she comparing a tablet(only) vs a phone AND a tablet combined (the streak)?? /sigh

[Leckiburns1993]

i have that one

[dalius1x]

big Android :DD

[pepOnshow]

do you have to have a contract with T-mobile to buy this tablet or can i just buy and use my Wi-Fi ????

[ElFlacoAlto1]

Well I'm excited I got this om ebay used for 175 not bad I'm gonna use it for YouTube mainly

[CapoHabiby66]

Hey YT viewers i got a Dell Streak 7 Tablet 4g for TMobile 16GB with an extra 8GB memory card, comes with original box and accessories like new, barely used it myself. I'm selling it for $230. Just private Message me if your interested. I'm located in the NYC area, i can do meet ups in the 5 boroughs and maybe in nassau county in Long Island and i can ship also if you are really interested.

Thank You and have a good day

:)

[ourbloodyrevolution]

this vs the acer iconia a100 vs the vizio 8" which one is better?

[air23jord4n]

Do u recommend buying this tablet

[DRJAYNBA]

@penguinswaddle2 I got it for christmas too

[TechReviews51]

nice review but does it have built in wifi?

[penguinswaddle1]

@TechReviews51 yes it does, i just got it for christmas!

[TheXavierofficial]

would the flash on this play flash games and facebook games?

[360GameBox]

i found a great deal for this device if you live in the UK it is £99 at PC world as of 26th December 2011. I don't know how long this will last though :P i think im going to get one!

[AzBirdDog]

Correction at 1:32.

That's not just a stereo jack. That's a stereo and mic jack. Which is very important to note that an extension microphone can be used.

I use it to capture and analyze sounds, and the streak coupled with an external microphone run very good with eachother!

You'll have to use the jack that has 4 contacts on it. You can find these for some camera's, Canon does produce these for a number of their camera's.

Just something that I think some users would want.

[furi0usfungus]

For me it was this vs a toshiba thrive. I went with the toshiba because it will be much more of a laptop replacement than the streak could be. The lack of usable ports is a disappointing killer for a lot of otherwise desirable tablets.

[chuyyhc]

I just ordered mine to me the resolution is awesome not doesn't really have that washed out look like the HTC Flyer even though that has better battery life

[YoungPoet22]

Its sucks the software needs to be update or hacked

[israel819]

should i get this instead of the samsung galaxy

[eurofighter47]

what is the inbuilt memory capacity of Dell strak7, and how much can we exapnd it?

[MobileTechReview]

@eurofighter47 16GB internal, up to 32GB expansion.

[Catracho383]

is there any way i can use my t-mobile sim card on this tablet?

[leeeelam]

What's the difference between capacitive and resistive?

[NigeriaHammad7]

@leeeelam capacitive simply needs to be touched to respond...resistive needs to be pressed like the old school pdas that had styluses...capacivite is MUCH better

[VidUploDer]

LOL TRYING TO COPY IPAD , STOP IT PEOPLE

[sphcaicai]

its t-mobile not t-mobul lol 

[drio3000]

It seems lagging :s

[AshleyMac92]

how much is it per month for the 4G service?

[MrIhatethoring]

@mnmalthaf

Look at the GS30 that is quite a tablet

[iPoemStar]

Can We Get New Review Since It runs Honeycomb Now...Theres basically no videos doing so and i kno that tablet is become out dated but its in my price range! lol =)

[epicknightmare24]

this is $159 on amazon right now



[mnmalthaf]

im a student from Sri Lanka i want to buy a tab. 3G is my main focus and budget, which one u think i should buy Dell or Samsung ???? or any other brand ????

[adambell1990]

anyone want to help me out? If i get it unlocked could i use a sim card from another country in it?

[philipmrupert]

is it a resistive screen? or capacitive?

[MobileTechReview]

@philipmrupert Capacitive.

[bballrunner196]

can it be just a wi-fi tablet? or do you have to have a contract

[Barbarajean1987]

@bballrunner196 I have one of these. It is wi-fi only. Some apps can be used without internet. I'm not happy with this at all. It is terribly buggy. Right now mine is frozen. The Home light is lit but the device will not power up.

[FMJSkating]

Do you pro fer this or HTC flyer i like Ereading and Going on youtube and apps

What are pros and cons of both

[DaSpotStudios]

what's the sim card slot for?

[mnmalthaf]

@DaSpotStudios to use a sim and surf internet with 3G or 4G functionality ... ;)

[amirdickey1]

@socaldude83 I don't mean to a be snob but the iPad is 10x better than the dell streak 7..... If u ask me if want to ugrade your iPad you should of went with a tablet from Samsung or Asus. Plus amazon just released it's tablet which only cost 200 dollars

[KookieKat47]

whats honey comb

[keke98100]

Got this today for my birthday :) its quite nice

[Deluxenyc]

Do u have to subcribe to t-mobile to get on the internet or can u just use wi-fi?

[KookieKat47]

i just ordered one off of QVC's and mine has honey comb!!!! i get it in december sometime!!!!!!!!!!! and i'm going to download apps like asphalt 5 and 6 (racing game)

[amirdickey1]

@MobileTechReview I thought it had android honeycomb like QVC was adventuring it

[MobileTechReview]

@amirdickey1 No, when the Streak 7 came out, Honeycomb wasn't available yet.

[socaldude83]

@amirdickey1 I bought the QVC when it was the today's special. I keep watching these review and people don't really like it. I hope it works better than my iPad.

[iAlwx]

@amirdickey1 on the QVC site it says 'Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS; over-the-air upgrade capability' so there must be a new update

[kawiak15]

Perhaps it's stupid question but I need to ask if I can do few things in same time? For example reading and listening to music.

[MobileTechReview]

@kawiak15 Yes, it can multitask.

[SoulessxxSpirit]

damn 2 inches rlly does make a difference

[MrKittxatans]

Can this be used as a phone ?

[MobileTechReview]

@MrKittxatans No, it can't, at least not in the US.

[bleacxxx]

can you use a wifi router and not pay for 3g? PLEASE REPLY

[MobileTechReview]

@bleacxxx If you don't buy it with a T-Mobile contract you don't have to get a data plan.

[nocyvo]

hi, nice review.

This model have a unlock 3g moden?

Tks

[MobileTechReview]

@nocyvo Locked 3G modem. Probably could be unlocked.

[daniel98carvalho]

you make really nice reviews and they are understandable unlike other people!! thanks!

[MobileTechReview]

@daniel98carvalho Thank you very much! Do share our reviews with others. Thanks!

[xXxPrettyboyswagxXx]

ROFL Brain POP

[noosman16]

really pro

[brainboob]

How do you make those black borders disappear in t-mobile tv?

[johnathon15walters]

your hair is brown and you wear glasses, this thing has so much glair to it, it is rediculas.

[PixieStixxandAdderal]

@johnathon15walters *glare *ridiculous. You're spelling is what's ridiculous, mate.

[ftwmarioftw]

@PixieStixxandAdderal who said this was a spellin bee?

[PixieStixxandAdderal]

@ftwmarioftw Well, I like to correct people. D:

[drakoturks]

When is the streak 10 coming out

[siabandz]

i like this review,,,,,,ill buy that

[siabandz]

better than streak 5

[xoxomusicluverxo]

Lmao BrainPop?? Really?? xD

[xtey92a]

When will Honeycomb be offered?

[ThatStain]

@xtey92a I heard an official update will be given in September... but at the moment all you could do it get a modded Honeycomb...

[sandmanorange]

streak 5 is better



[a26194]

do you get the android market on this thing?

[A7xFoREVer228]

Stupid question: You can download apps from the App Store onto this thing, right?

[CrazyBanana510]

@A7xFoREVer228 YES STEVEN. YOU ARE SO FOOLISH.

[insanejake11]

thumbs up if you watched in 1080p HD and the tablet screen look grainy

[alexander2083]

Better than samsung galaxy tab 7" and 10'1 I love this Dell streak, android os is growing up litlle by litte.... Unfortunately when Dell streak came out mr jobs show to the world the iPad and people star getting crazy for that, but If you compare the hardware is almost the same, before to pay $ 600 buck just for the iPad 16gb with not sd card expandable I pay in the $ Dell streak 7 $100 or 200 bucks less. What do you think.

[asitmc]

looks like a galaxy tab 7" rip off.

[ElmoVee]

WHY IS THIS SO CHEAP!?

[mwk323]

Dear Santa....

[lituvis1]

@mwk323 bring me somefing better than this shit..

[sofnsable]

Why doesnt asphalt come on my dell streak 7? I cant get it on the market either, whats wrong?

[sofnsable]

Text isnt sharp? Huh?

[pinkprincess459]

If i wanted to use this for class or meetings to take notes, do any of you guys know if this would work? I'd like to leave the ipad for plan c. I really don't have $500 to spend.. lol.

[sofnsable]

@pinkprincess459 You can get one unlocked with only wifi for 350$, I'm sure that still a lot but you could also pay for it over time with dell, thats what I did!

[callmemarc]

What's the best 7 inch tablet? I am looking at the Viewpad 7, Archos 70 or Streak 7.

[5534555264]

ESTA BUENA tu Dell, pero casi le llega a mi TAB, no se si esta tenga TV o salida TV y lo malo es que creo no estoy muy seguro si la venden en mexico y donde consiga sus accesorios, o donde sea el soporte tecnico, como sea sho me quedo con mi tab es el mejor telefono que he tenido, ademas no se si le pueda meter todos los juegos de gameloft a esta DELL , en compus me gusta mas HP pero creo que esta DELL es una buena copia de mi GALAXY le daria un 9 como sea esta no es una mierda como NOKIA

[MlTher]

This technology is ancient and the design is anti-ergonomic. I dont know why people buy tablets. Maybe because they'd buy everything as long as they think they have bought some new hip ideas. I will buy something like that as soon as it's bendable and foldable.

[militaryhistorian67]

I really like my Streak 7. You can't beat the powerful dual core cpu. The res could be better, but for a 7" tab, I'll deal with it. Did I mention 4G...Honeycomb update will be icing on the cake. Tell Mr Jobs that the 7" tab is alive and well.

[XxDean289]

@militaryhistorian67

can you upload movies to it

[donk09500]

Too right. Watching this video on mine.

[spartansrock100]

Galaxy tab is 10 times better!

[musiclover14ist]

do you use microsim here? or the ordinary sim?

[passiondies007]

father and son

[tarunpai]

will/does this support honeycomb?

[samrialj]

how long would you expect the battery to last with 10% brightness with wifi off and internet browsing, watching a movie? when 3.0 tablet android comes out do you expect to see a significant battery life/performance increase?

-thanks

[tox1cfusi0n]

The only reason why I WANT this tablet is because Dell is planning on upgrading the DS7 to Honeycomb which will most likely fix the software issues.

[samrialj]

@tox1cfusi0n if you turn the screen brightness down/off auto i would expect to get more battery life out of the thing but 5 hours of internet browsing on wifi wouldnt make me complain thats great if you ask me...

[bagers123]

SMASH IT UP ITS A BRICK

[Mark24646]

can you just buy this without 3g ?

[bluesy92]

@Mark24646 300 for the wifi version, I believe.

[Mark24646]

@bluesy92 o ok thank you so much! :)

[Mark24646]

thank you soooo much fr these reviews!!

[savoy1214]

Looks so laggy for dual-core and that screen looks horrible.

[bigbrowncheifbottom]

@savoy1214 the battery life is horrible. it only gets like 4 hours.

[Soulja4791]

is this also a phone

[kamovi4saakyan]

Is there 3G at this tablet? What price?

[SHITONASTICK1100]

i have the dell streak 5 wwould b a gd phone if it actually worked....

[TheAsianInvasion23]

I guess tanlets are gonna replace our computers and laptops in the near future.

[ryochiechuks]

one word UGLY

[TheProjectOrigins]

should i get this or the Acer Iconia ?

[mdbcam]

@TheProjectOrigins the acer

[roshawn1111]

@TheProjectOrigins get the laptop the dual screen acer iconia laptop lol if not then yeah

[TheAsianInvasion23]

@TheProjectOrigins if you don't really mind the price..the ACER ICONIA!!!!

[TheSocialGamer]

What I want to know is, if you can make voice calls. If no voice calls are allowed, can you use VOIP calling using either Google Voice or Skype over 3G/4G data. I would like to replace my mobile phone completely and have yet to hear or see any information on making voice calls? Is that not a feature anyone is interested in? I'm waiting to hear back from DELL directly.

[GeorgeBonez]

@TheSocialGamer Im sure that you got your answer by now but if not the answer is yes. I use all kinds of voice apps including vid-chats and they are great. Ive had mine for two months and I still love it...

[TheSocialGamer]

@GeorgeBonez Awesome thanks for the feedback. I figured I'd just leave my tablet in my backpack and use Google voice and/or Skype to make all of my voice calls, I'm not interested in doing much if any at all video chats. I'll just sync up my blue tooth and I'll be good. SWEET..!

[TheSocialGamer]

@GeorgeBonez that's great to know thanks for the tip....!

[VietconGG]

nice nails :-!



[mycrx89]

i want to see her face. i have fallen in love with her voice. she also sounds like a bight woman. so sexy!

[voteboo]

@mycrx89 Unless you're into older women, then I guess that you'd love to see her face(body too obviously). She sounds like a mature woman besides her hands look like they have had a long run already, veins popped out. You don;t see that on younger girls(women). Later man, and luck on your future meeting with this lady. lol

[ioossmachine]

this tablet sucks. be patient, save your money, and by a playbook, xoom, (or if you have tmobile) get the g-slate that comes out april 20th. look at those before you blow your money on a tablet you will just return

[v123bah]

zoom is better

[iJojo95]

@v123bah this is only 299 pound xoom is 600

[neothespian]

What makes this appealing is the fact that the WiFi only version was recently announced for something like $379! For a 7" dual core tablet...that's frankly a great price! I'm sure it won't take long for Honeycomb to find it's way on there either by end-users or eventually by Dell (unlike Samsung, they actually update their product). It's cheaper than the iPad's basic version and has all the basic elements for a decent tablet. I'm sold when the WiFi only version hits

[xamanderrskylitmoonx]

I hope this will fit in my shorts pocket xDDD

[mariopawnch]

i just looked at the specs and it would be great

but the screen is 480 by 800

thats fine for a 4 inch smart phone

but 7 inches?

its a horrible screen

[sarahdream4u]

This is one of the only tablets where u can tether...

[roolinpark]

Thank you for doing this review on 7" tabs.

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

oh god the tablet fad

[DarkHumorist]

@SOLIDSNAKEXXX360 I think if it were a fad some people would be actually buying them

[rezasuperiot]

aazzz. i think it bring windows 7

[hillsonchuks]

does it make calls?

[Mr291229]

@hillsonchuks That's something I want to know too, does it makes phone calls, does anybody know.

[filsogood1]

ma come cazzo si fa per telefonare?!!!?

[MrTekKid97]

does this have a full size sd card slot?

[romes2dam]

this will be upgrade to honeycomb over the air they only run 2.2 just to get it out...

[SkullNBones19]

Start using smartbench instead of quadrant!

[psp785]

I dont really see the point in getting a tablet if all they're just going to do is run the same OS as your phone

[Gregz0r1]

The only A-grade tablets to consider in 2011, will be (in no particular order) the Motorola Xoom, Apple iPad2, HP TouchPad and (maybe) the BlackBerry PlayBook.

[neothespian]

@Gregz0r1

And how do you know this? Aside from the Xoom and the iPad 2, half of the "only tablets to consider" aren't even to market yet, and those don't even have app markets (and no, there is no WebOS market when it's still less than 3,000 apps after several YEARS)

[Gregz0r1]

Terrible viewing angles on that screen.

[fishbeard]

You do some really excellent reviews! Thanks & keep up the good work!

[epistemicfail]

TouchPad looks promising, though I don't have hands on experience. I used the Nook Color rooted. It isn't good enough to replace an iPad.

[bfield2280]

it looks nice. i'd rather have a galaxy tab or wait for the hp touchpad :D go HP!

[latitude599]

How is the battery life? I hear it's not great...

Anyways, the screen looks awful.

[PianoScience]

I don't like this, I'll take my iPad and Galaxy Tab any day.

[PulletSurprise]

What a crock these devices are.

The local Best Buy has the kiosk with them on display. You can see the retail boxes under the display though the cage doors. It's still full and has been since they got the shipment of the 5'' Streaks in.

[neothespian]

@PulletSurprise

That's because Best Buy is paid to NOT sell anything other than iPads. Ever notice how any other tablets are either not charged or not even available to be handled, while the iPad kiosk is assured to be the center of all attention. There is definite favoritism going on. Best Buy will NEVER cater to anyone other than Apple

[voyager9600]

Nice! Love all your reviews!

[JogBird]

get a Nook and root it

[neothespian]

@JogBird

But, the Nook is only a single core and no front or rear cameras. The WiFi version is going to come in well under $400, and for the money it's well worth it with no rooting needed (which the average consumer can NOT and will not do). When you compare the two, out of the box this is actually useful

[TyRetr0]

@JogBird TRUE!!

[caco3017]

@JogBird A NOOK? wtf? who the hell would buy a nook?

[iPodTouch5311]

Dell streak 5 was way better

[AnDaTeSa]

looks ugly.
