Thread: Dell Streak - First Impressions coming from an X10 - request for Dell Streak Mini 5

OH, PS, noone at Dell speaks English except Michael Dell

I am only on day 5, but so far I really like it. The only negative to me is the weight. I never really thought about how much a larger device would weigh. My BB Curve was 3.7 then my x10 was 4.8 oz and the Streak is 6.4 or about 50% more. Only seems to bother me on a long call.

After I got it set up, I have not experienced any issues. My usage may be different than most, working from home, my devices stays on Wifi 99% of the time. When I leave the house I dont care that much if it isnt connecting constantly <img src=http://androidappspoint.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif border=0 alt= title=Big Grin class=inlineimg />

My battery life is about a day the X10 was worse but with my old BB Curve, I could go 4 days. I am getting use to just plugging it in every night, so not a big deal. I may set my polling down a little, see if that helps.

i ended up with the locked 1.6 version, and it is so buggy Im actually returning it during the buyers remorse period.

It vibrates all buy itself even if theres no incoming messages, has email push problems and without 3G ON NETWORK AT&amp;T wont let me roam...so basically i have no data if im out of an ATT tower.

$99 @ Best Buy will be that phones residual price, and after talking with some high level folks here @ corp office, that phone is a brick to sell...not just because of its size (women dont want it), but because of the inability to do things a lot of other phones (Droid, X, EVO, etc) already do.

if you are happy with your model, therell be another one on the market tonight when I return mine.

AT&amp;T needs substantially upgrade their roaming agreements if they are going to sell smart phones.

Wow... Ive read your troll posts on every thread Ive clicked so far. Lucky me. Im sure most people got the point after one post. No need for the repetition. You ended up with a locked 1.6 version? What the hell does that mean -- ended up? What was it... a lottery prize? A Christmas present from mom and dad?

There was obviously no due diligence on your part. You would have known in advance that it is 1.6, soon to be 2.2... You would know how and where to upgrade it to 2.2 manually if you wanted. You would know what your recourse is in the event that you get a dud, or two, or three. (Theres someone in every forum with your atypical luck.) You would know about ATTs coverage in your area, and you obviously know that there is a gracious trial period to make sure its something youll enjoy.

So its not for you or your neck of the woods -- whatever. Get another make and model, find their respective forum, and go spout something productive.<img src=http://androidappspoint.com/images/smilies/smile.gif border=0 alt= title=Smile class=inlineimg />

Could not have said it better myself!

BTW what is it a droid or evo can do that my streak can not do?
