Dell CEO: "Ok guys. Let's make an Android smartphone for AT&T! But instead of leaving it stock Android, we're going to take all the features that make Android a great platform and throw them out so that we can put a big piece of shit into it. Also, let's make it entirely out of cheap, rattly plastic, and ship it with specs that were enticing last year. IT'LL BE GREAT!"
Anyone with a brain: "WTF is this piece of shit??"
dame that sux.. this pone looks tight but suks giant megaballs.. thanx for the review the redneck of phonedog.. just next time dont show the papers inside... kind of dumb.. but over all great review
lol dell couldnt have fucked up any more. 1)they covered up android which is probably the worst idea ever 2)what kind of smart phone doesnt have a 3.5 mm headjack what are we in the 90's i mean wtf 3)Dell starting making phones they should have stuck with making there shitty computers. 4)who in the fuck at dell thought umm lets put a 1000mah battery in a smart phone.
Android 1.5... Why even release a new android phone right now with 1.5... They will probably sell 1.5 devices.. 1 phone and a extra battery to go with that crappy 1000 MAH battery..
Guys please stop complaining about Aaron, people didn't like Sydney at first, remember that?!?!?!?!?!? He's just getting some more videos up so plz stop
I think they put that piece of crap phone out there so they can bounce back with some spectacular device and get the spot light. Like the iPhone 3G when the 2G was shit.
@Dsport1313 I hope you're kidding? It laggs when you use the menu for crying out loud...It has android 1.5, it has no buttons below the screen, it has a crappy battery...and that's just the start...
@Dsport1313 I agree with you. Like I have my droid which I LOVE to death but I hardly use any of the internet based features other than the market and facebook. My phone is primarily used for calling and texting ladies ;)
@DavyDave1313 i use the internet on a phone for internet, all i care about is that it can hold my music (wich it can) us my ipod apps (wich it can) and call and text
is a 3.5 mm jack such advanced technology that it can't be included with "every" phone ??...and Android is free... why are devices coming out with such old versions...why not just use stock 2.2 and be done with it...very frustrating....why are they trying to reinvent the wheel !
If I was on At&t and I am; there's only 3 devices worth buying. Iphone 4 white only, NEXUS ONE (Which I have), or Captivate (which I've greatly contimplated)
(sorry for not being politically correct) THIS IS GAY WHY DOES ATT GET LOUSY CRAP ANDROID PHONES THIS MAKES ME SO MAD THAT WE GET CRAP WHILE OTHER CARRIERS GET TOTALLY AWESOME PHONES.... its no fair
@jic777 no its not...spend another $100 and get a real phone...how does that $100 compare to the $2,400 two year contract...you might as well get what you really want...
@MrCoolManTim well, we can start by the fact that in android you dont have to pay for something as stupid as changing your background or theme lol! iphone without jailbreak sucks ass, you cant personalize/customize the phone unless its jailbroke, plus mayority of the apps you have to pay in android most of them are FREE
@Dani01c Which iPhone are you talking about? Because the old ones were absolutely trumped by Android but now I find that the iPhone 4 (& iOS 4) is better for a lot of things. I don't think people can say that android is much better, they are more similar then they are different.
I know Apple was controlling the market before but because of android they have really stepped up their game.
@MrCoolManTim im talking about previous versions, besides i was exaggerating but you get the point.. but still after 4 generations still no widgets, still no flash support
@Dani01c Widgets would be cool, but flash is over-rated. I have 2.2 on my phone and it plays Flash but it's jittery, it drains the battery & it make my phone red hot.
I know what you mean though, on paper you get more for your money with android.
@MrCoolManTim thats strange, i have 2.2 on my hd2 and runs just fine, im writing rught now from it lol! But the same thing with apple laptops and computers for the price of a macbook you can get an asus with i7 quad processor, bluray and everything
@Dani01c i just got the iPhone 4 and i haven't even noticed the lack of flash if u want youtube theres an app if u want hulu theres an app if u want games theres 50000 apps
@Et3rNaLxTiTi3s sure, can you watch 720p vids in the youtybe app? No, theres an app for that too, sure, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IN APPLE! Thats why it sucks without jailbreak you cant do what you want with the phone...
if the price tag itself is just about USD 99 with agreement, it's obvious that it's not a true android device. (the guy in the video seems to be so frustrated in reviewing this phone)
Dont buy Dell. Another work colleague and myself both bought Dell Streaks the day they where released. Mine started to turn itself off after 2 days by just sitting in my pocket and me moving around.
My work colleagues Dell Streak started to do the same thing 2-3weeks later, he also had constant software lock-ups where he had to remove the battery to turn it off and back on again.
Other thing is that Android 1.5 and 1.6 is so old hat now, without any flash support you limited in what you cando
android 1.5? seriously? and considering dell says that theres no need for android 2.2 id guess this thing will be stuck @ 1.5 forever. why would anyone waste their money on this phone? for 100 bucks more you could get the samsung captivate
Aaron: good comprehensive review, but some things are lacking.. please PLEASE get a HD camera and one of the most common mistakes people who record themselves reviewing products make: no PLAIN WALL BACKGROUND
I don't understand why this phone exists. Why on earth would anyone buy this phone if there are better android phones ON at&t? Even the backflip is better than this piece of crap.
