  • i have a dell streak phone unfortunately it can take longer to used specially the battery...where i can buy battery for my dell streak 5?

  • Since I purchased my Dell Streak phone, I've encountered a lot of screen issues. I cannot remember how many times I have to be very patient in fixing the screen by trying to hover over the screen gently numerous time for the phone to come back to life. So I googled for the solution and it gave me procedures on how to calibrate my phone which then fixes the screen issue, but only for a short period of time. I am very disappointed yet still eager to find out other ways to fix this. Hoping any response from the Dell Company to resolve this issue other than just calibrating and recalibrating which only fixes the screen issue for only a few hours.

  • have u resolve the problem regarding network registration?

  • Kindly advise on how to set network on my DELL streak 5 phablet...its very slow!!!and how to upgrade to 2.2!!!many thanks...

  • is your phone Singing or having Syncing Problem

  • hi if u have any touch screen issues the whole screen will be required to be changed and also fyi the screen at the Dell Service Center costs 10k but if u try to do it locally it may cost u approx 6k with fitting but please check the screen before u change it the brightness setting would differ from the original one so check twice or more before spending a huge amount on your Dell M10M Streak 5 Sameer Desai - 9867229229 Mumbai

  • dear sir pls help in my mobile dell mini 5 sing in problem

  • The screen of my Dell Streak is not working properly as sometimes the touch system does not work. Would it require a screen change ?

  • i broke my dell streak5 ..where do i get a replacement? howmuch will b the charges? cqan i order online ? i m in goa... whats the website to order online? pls anwer frens

  • It was released in 2011. Now you can check for a used model. Let me know if you want. It's the best phone that I ever found with Android. Simply love it.

  • In which country? In India, you can get it from Nehru place, New Delhi.

  • One of my friends broke the screen of his Dell Streak 5 and faced a real issue getting a replacement. Dell charges around 10,000 for it. So we ordered the screen online for around Rs 4500 and replaced it. Changing the screen is not a big issue as all step by step instructions are available and you just need to connect one wire that easily gets attached. Nothing more than pushing the end of the wire like you connect a charger or a data cable. Best thing is that you cannot make a mistake as the wire won't fit anywhere else than where it needs to. That is what I like most about dell.

  • It doesn't come in dual sim

  • received one as a birthday present. after using it for a while the phone kept rebooting and often froze. sent it for repairs but this time around it has frozen for good. i have received another one as a replacement and this time around too, the new one cant stay on at all. as you switch on, it fails to start at all. what could the problem be? please advise as i have these two phones and none is working. its so embarrassing.

  • want to dell strck phone

  • when dell streak 5 mini will be released to an indian market? wheather it has dual sim options?

  • i need charger for this phone.. pls help thanks

  • I went to disply pls inform wich price

  • hey hai.chek update & sim network,reboot once again.

  • i lost my dell streak display. i want dell streak display

  • I bought this phone when I visited US on a short trip after which I thoroughly regretted my hasty decision. Never thought that Dell can have such cheap quality product. the screen is lousy and the phone hangs often. Battery life is miserable. Thou the specification says Gorilla display, it does not stand up to it. Not once, not twice but I had changed my screen 3 times every time with a huge cost. Changed the battery once. All of this happened to me in a span of 8 months. The WORST phone I have ever used. I would never recommend DELL to anyone anymore.

  • Video calling availeble in this or not ?

  • I bought my dell streak in july 2010, with android 2.2.The phone is working fine until some time, when it started to lag, poor battery life, etc. I decided to root my phone and upgrade the android. I got the cynogenmod update with android 2.3.7 and rooted my device. Now my phone works great, enhanced battery life, lesser lags and seems like a new phone. I recommed upgrade your android, but the downside is you lose your traditional dell interface and UI.

  • Never.

  • the android version of 2.2 is relatively too low. when will an upgraded version come?

  • i need to get one, any shops? then is there one with a radio

  • My phone is not power

  • My phone is not power

  • Install Xplorer

  • This Mobile sucks Big time. Battery back up is too bad. The look of this mobile is something which will grab your attention but believe me its no where near the high end smartphones which are available today. may be dell can come up with something much much better in terms of Processor, RAM & battery back up.

  • Really this Dell user has enough & enough Passion to wait changes & observe : I wish to buy a Dell : by seen this seen this mail : i dropped my plan bcoz how much a user can be disturbed by the Set & their Dell Help Line

  • Actually yes it does, the standard SIM is the size of a credit card, you are thinking of the micro sim.

  • It actually users a standard phone sim and not a mini as listed above.

  • yeah... its good to use this handset..

  • hows it , is it goood to use, n experience,,,,.....

  • I use "JuiceDefender - battery saver" to solve both battery life and service provider usage charges. If you have the Dell Streak 5 Car Holder then when it's time for an upgrade go with the Samsung Note II which fits this car holder.

  • hi im using dell streak and my phone battery does not last long dont know if there is a problem with my phone .i want to ask if it is a problem , then how am i going to solve it

  • I have purchased Dell Strak 5"@ Rs.26000/- in September 2011 from sector 11,Panchkula, Haryana. I was facing lot of problems such as cam flash was not working immediately after purchase. NO USER FRIENDLY, Can't save numbers easily.After 1 yrs warantee period over my Dell streak got damaged with no display. so I has given for Dell service centre sec 35C, Chandigarh. they charged me Rs.10650/- why should i pay so much money after spending Rs.26000/- so since Dec 2012 my dell strak is still with your service center and I do not have money to get it back but I am going to consumer court to get me justice.

  • Dear Dell Team, I am very tired & really write this letter for refund my laptop money. I have called many time to dell tech team also support to me but daily visited ur�s engineers .But as dally basis suffering these types problems as a mention till now date dell replaced part like this :: My Dell system TAG:: DY8K6Q1 Motherboard change 33 times. Display change 25 Times. Touch pad change 12 Times Charger change 5 times Battery change 2 times RAM Change 8 time both 4GB & 2GB both. Heat sink with heating part 20 Times Hard disk change 8 times Bottom Base 12 times Many with Other same problem only able to check Dell internal team, also I am knowing take a how much take a time to talk to Dell Team. Dell Sr. Team said false committed because latest my case handles to Mr. Singh (Dell Team knowing), he was saying I am Sr. manage but committed to me regarding my issue, Sure I (Mr. Singh) can solving yours case, but firstly check ur system via Dell engineers. That time I was agreed. Even Dell Engineer also checks it & found problems, also shares to him & me (Dell Team Mr. Singh Also).But now this there is no call from that side. I was still waiting call from Dell, but only called to me Pickup team, because system faulty items not given to Dell. Today�s morning again calls (Mr. Vipul) to me but I have deny to him. Finally I am tiring to share on same things to all Social sites, & I am going to complain in consumer court. This mail will also share to hire required team. Thanks!!

  • 1 Turn off your Streak. 2 Boot into recovery mode by holding down BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS while pressing the power button. 3 Use the volume down button to highlight option 3 (screen calibration) from the menu and press the camera button to select it. 4 Press the volume down button again to begin the calibration, then press the camera button to return to the previous menu screen. Select the last option to turn off the Streak and then turn it back on normally. you can do one of the following: Factory reset Software via Update.pkg form SD card Screen calibration Power off

  • sometimes same thing happen to me; I just press couple of times the side buttons which make the phone vibrates. then it comes to normal. I use Tap Tap App from google play to lock the screen as well.

  • U can have a spare battery, just in case... Most of the (new) BIG screen phones are charged every day...

  • I absolutely love my Dell Streak 5, even today 2 (two) years since was released it is a good competitor, well enough built (even) comparing with other new models... Forget about (and I don't mind) retina display and other less important features for a portable device (called mobile phone these days;) ), which has 5 inch screen... and CHEAP enough to buy it second hand, than having a new contract too expensive today.. ...I (you) can play most of the simple games from google play ... read a book if I (you) want a quick change ... run some simple applications when I do my work, and of course, run across the internet (because HAS SIM card inside;) and not to forget make phone calls. What more should I (you) ask for when you are on the move? And when the time will come I'll jail-break it only to keep it for a bit longer. So I LOVE IT!

  • Dell Streak 5 is very good phone but outdated. The phone is many location come with Froyo (2.2) update only. But you can upgrade to Gingerbread (2.3.3) version by downloading the software from Dell website. This software is from Dell hence no thirdparty app and no system rooting is required. Drop me email if you required any further information at [email protected]

  • when I upgraded to the 2.2v it freezes more often and its giving me a tough time.

  • Just plug it into any computer's USB slot. When the Dell Streak asks if you want to use as USB drive, ignore the message, do not click "yes" or "no", just press home button. It will charge, until you can get a charger replacement. :)

  • this dell is very good but it has no update please upgrade

  • Writing from a dell streak right now. Pro: screen size and brightness, pretty fast for daily ops. Con: backcover failsafe feature (fixable), random bugs like not charging while it's turned off, no android 4 yet. Conclusion: I use it daily and I find it really good and usefull. Good price also, otherwise maybe a S Galaxy Note would be nice.

  • Yes, this phone is a bit outdated. It doesn't have the latest Android (upgradable only to 2.3 Gingerbread), the screen resolution is not match to the latest phones, data connection is not the fastest. But for the price it is amazing device. Sound is very clear, 5" touchscreen is very nice, and it doesn't drain battery as much as faster phones with higher screen resolution. And there are plenty of free apps on the market for any taste. Personally I like it's free VoIP calls with Dell voice app (not sure if it is available in any country), fully functional free GPS with voice directions, voice recognition, Dolphin and Firefox browsers, e-mail client, IMO+ messenger, e-readers of all kinds, etc.

  • i like it

  • I have had the Dell Streak 5 since last May and I love it . I have no issues with the camera or anything else :)hope it helps

  • I checkout out the specs of Deel Streak they are just awesome but would it be wise to buy it as it is out of production and does this model has issues with its camera also?

  • it was about 7 month ago... i went to a store to buy this phone, but it was out of stock. then i got my xperia arc. mine is wonderful but i still really want this phone.. i'm going to this soon :) i think ill love the 5inch sreen very much

  • i am very much impressed with the specs but is this reliable as the production is no longer in progress and plus i have heard someissues with camera is tha true?

  • does it supports video calling?

  • battery backupp is poor......recharge 2 times in adays....

  • How did you upgrade the OS? would really like to upgrade but was advised its not possible

  • Why is the status still available when Dell discontinued the Streak 5 on August 15, 2011?

  • I have it since more than a year and it's just fantastic, the guarantee (i've broke two while trying to flash them) is rock solid - direct replacement, no questions asked. I am running android 2.3.7 now and no issues at all! Great touch sensitivity, the screen is not as good as SUPER AMOLED but good enough for any use. Impressive quality. But most important it's share size makes a hell of impression to anyone that sees it !

  • i have used this device for a year now and so far so good... i am in Ghana and its really cool using it on airtel. never regretted purchasing it. i just cant send sms with the upgraded android 2.2 n also i happen to break the screen but i cannot get one anywhere in Ghana to buy.

  • Download contact remover from the anroid market..it is free apps only

  • I've been using my Streak for one year. Overall, I am impressed by the performance. It has everything I need: games, ebooks, emails, instant messaging, social networking. I rarely use this phone for text messages. The wifi quality is very good. It's fast in detecting new connections. But recently, I found errors in accessing the Play Store, but it's mostly the problem with the app and not the phone itself. At times, it takes a while to load the home screen after I unlock it so it's not really good as a primary phone, especially if you want to make an urgent call. I think it's my own problem, since I don't clean the download section that often. Sometimes it restarts by itself. It's not a big deal for me as long as my docs are still there. My biggest problem is the service in Indonesia. I asked for a new cable data and they said I need to wait three weeks. They never called me back and I have to resort to fake Chinese cable. Even if it works well, I'm still disappointed by the distributors. All in all, I have no regrets. Electronics do age and I think Streak ages well.

  • is it advisable to buy dell streak now as its production has been stopped.... and what about its price in india... what can be the lowest price?

  • I am so impressed with Dell Streak 5 but am skeptical about going for it as the gadget is not under production. Is it worth buying this gadget at present?

  • Is it advisable to buy Dell Streak 5 now? I am some how impressed with the gadget but as it is not under production, I am a little wary. Pls suggest

  • thanks, i ve used the streak too with MIUI rom. it rocks

  • Just download and install the MIUI ROM and you will be glued to your streak - Its simply awesome! You can draw on pictures, sketch, screenshots, etc. I own both this and the Note - Believe me, this phone is better, shape wise and actually practical usability (Not all the hype on adverts). I have the MIUI ROM installed and they have so many themes, Iphone, Meego, Anna, etc Its turning into another HD2. Im only hoping the same can be done for the Dell Venue Pro

  • Alert type N/A, What does it mean?

  • wt's the prize ??...some one pls....

  • i wish Dell will make new upgraded dell streak 5 with better specifications, such as upgrade to 8 or 12 Mpixle camera, dual core or 4 core of CPU, big storage just like Iphone, keep the corning gorilla glas and keep the 5inch screen, damn i like the 5inch screen. put whatever great software just like samsung note... Does Dell have some analysis of market?? Do they read what customer want?? OMG... you just stuck in there... look at to the samsung how they attack the market with the variations of their product... that waht i call business... Dell wake up, i need your upgraded 5inch dell streak!!!

My question to you all guys ,How about your front camera in dell streak . I am using it with android 2.2 And what is the latest update of android for this handset.

  • Alert types N/A What does it mean?

  • i love its body structure. It looks like a transformer. i hope dell improves this one. making it a quad core, higher screen resolution, ICS and making it a little bit lighter. If they make that happen, sure it will kill even iphone5 in d making. :)

But i couldnt find a way to select all and delete. I have to delete them one by one. Is their any way out to select all items or only the desired ones.

  • This phone is nice, after using for more than 8 months, found out its wifi receiver is quite weak compare to other phones, battery is not bad on my set, screen is clear and sharp but the only thing I dont like is, the local distributor doesn't provide os update to 2.3.x therefor no video calls for my streak, thats really dissappointing, internal rom memory is 1gb so, plenty of space to install apps.

  • Hi, I have Dell Streak and its screen is damaged, Can anybody tell me where i can get it fixed. Regards, Waseem

  • Have my streak for over two weeks, and I absolutely love it ! Big screen, powerfull phone I can use theree times more apps than my previous phone, great for watching videos without even converting them, surfing on net give me new perspective on how much easieer is to use big screen .. Battery power is definately not bad as I seen people complaining you have to remeber thait is abig screen powerfull phone, I never needed to charge my phone more than every night, most of the times once in couple days, hope battery will hold that way longer. My opinion that Dell streak 5 is best phone with power and size for the price. Too bad model is discontinued, and would be nice to beable to upgrade to last android because I can't use front fasing cam while skyping. I think time for 5 inch screens is just coming when people realise than how uncomfortable is to have small screen for a phone.

  • Can anyone guide me how to upgrade the OS in this phone to honeycomb?

  • yes buddy .. streak do have audible ringtones as message tones... available from zedge.com > download n check for notification tones :-)

  • Can you provide me anyway to replace the internal 2gb storage with 16gb or 32gb? is there any way to do this?

  • Its got vibration and audible ringtones. the speaker quality is also very good...

  • Its considered a Tablet/smartphone that should give you some indication what this phone can do. It's on par with the custom roms with some of the higher end spectrum handsets out there

  • Dear mates, im going to buy a old dell streak 5. can anyone tell me that streak 5 have audible ringtones like other phones? Or just vibrations as notifications?

  • i would strongly advice people against buying this phone. I have had it replaced twice, the phone's capacity to toggle between applications is extremely poor, its keeps hanging or shutting down if you press more than 2 apps, the usb port for the adaptor fits in is extremely sensitive and is prone to damage if the charger is fitted in tightly.... a strict no-no for a buy!

  • Phone is great with a dev community on XDA your options for custom roms are endless and it will enhance battery life and performance greatly

  • This is an awesome heavy duty phone guys whats the issue about battery life my streak surfs continously for 5-6 hours before recharging on edge remember always battery life depends upon ur first recharge of the new phone battery.a poor recharge leads to poor battery life.mine is working perfect even after so much of intense news go for it guys u wont regret mine I got from us works perfect I prefer it over samsung anytime

  • its nice to use to handle and worth for the price tag

  • its worth the buy...internal is 2gb and it comes with 16 or 32gb external...but the internal can be changed to either 16 or 32 likewise because its not built in,it can be changed but you have to be careful how you do that....the phone is awesome in all ways..but rotation is better on gingerbread

  • I dont think so....

  • as i plan to purchase the dell streak. any one tels , phone is worthy or not.

  • my streak showas only 2 gb phone memorry?why?pls help me

  • Dell streak 5 update to gingerbread:

  • Yes !! Dell Streak got a 5" screen which is nice for games and movie but the after sales service is extremely disappointed.

  • i like this mobile

  • Dear let me advise you that instead of dell streak, Samsung is excellent e choice due to few techncal reasons. 1. Size 2. operating System 3. compatabilty 4. Price and after sale. Now choice is your.

  • guys m a bit confused between xperia play n dell streak 5.... both r of same price so which 1 shud i buy n does xperia play has a problm related 2 its sliding keypad....?? thnx in advance

  • I have had my Dell Streak since about Feb/March 2011 and am happy with this tablet/phone I upgraded to this form an iphone 2G. The Dell Streak is great for watching youtube and other videos on. Surfing the net is a joy on a wireless network(Due to o2 Uk data coverage being poor). If you are not using the phone for data for large periods of time I would suggest turnning the wireless and data services off to extend battery time.

  • Better go for the Samsung Galaxy Note, it's AWESOME! Besides, the streak doesn't get any updates, and the battery life sucks.

  • i want to buy dell streak 5 please tell me about this honestly ... or should i choose the samsung phone please help me which one is better

  • HI everyone, i recently bought a "used" Dell streak 5. I reset the phone back to its factory default but after doing the that the language became Japanese. By just looking at the icons i was able to change the language to english however the ICONS are still in japanese! PLease help me! Everthing else is in ENGLISH except for the ICONS they read japanese!

  • Dell should think of a second version of this beautiful unsatisfying piece. I wish it (the next model) would have the same 5'' display, at least 16gb internal memory and 32gb removable memory. Also a side slide physical qwerty keyboard, 8mpx camera with flush and WP 8 OS run by any duo core cpu not forgetting unlimited apps. How irresistible that would be?

  • 2.3 is much more better then android 3..

  • The streak 7 is very much capable of running android 3.0

  • when 2.3 is coming for dell streak 5 ?

  • Why not dell streak in andriode os 2.3???

  • you are look like new user or may be you are not familiar to mobiles or in simple way you are just out of date that is why you cant able to understand the quality of android with this kind of mobile like dell streak.

  • Everything is fine except battery backup,not at recommandable for battery

  • No update on 2.3 can shoot and play 720P

  • awesome phone... value for money. good for evryone. and no.1 in features.

  • The worst product ever one can buy they are in to big time promotion for this damp thing . promised with an automatis upgradation from 2.2 android version to 2.3 version, but it never happend remains still as the same . very poor battery back up and bought this useless thing with a special purpose of video chat which was specifiaclly promised by the vendor but the front camera which is to get activated fro video call it will never ever get activated even in your wild dreams . in mY case more than that the worst experince i got from the Service center. The device came with a faulty usb pin which has got problems in fittiing in from the begining itself , To my surprise one day when i tried fitting the chord for charging the USB jack got broken , Since the device is under warranty period i thought of i will get a solution but these people are asking for a motherboard replacement which will cot me excatly near to the cost of the device . Thanks to Dell for releasing such a beautiful product

  • i have decided to buy this............can anyone tell that ......Is it capable of 720p HD video recording and play back with any of android update???....and Can we update to 2.3 version ....please help me out.....thanx in advance

  • upgrade android 4.0 ICS ?

  • Its a very cool experience. Got to buy another one for my brother as well.

  • I have been using Streak for about an year. I purchased it for it's ideal carrying size and features. I also expected routine Android upgrades. I don't think I will rate the overall experience as great. Original one had to be replaced due to issues in the camera, in India simple and must have accessories like carrying case is not available. I dropped it, which spoiled the LCD. Replacement cost me a bomb. Then over the period of time, the connector got spoiled.. another cost. I noticed that Dell quietly withdrew this model from the market. Overall, I spent enough money to buy a very decent laptop. I am now convinced that I will buy my next phone from a company who is very serious about their mobile business.

  • hi guys those who compare streak with s2 should know that s2 is only up with software not hardware,s2 is made of plastic while dell body is mettallic and the screen i prefer dell since s2 screen looks quite artificial instead of natural colours love my dell.battery life is superb only need to know that close down unnecessary applications running at background

  • its jst a superb experience using this phn... awesome display and fast browsing... marvellous,,,...

  • I've got the Dell Streak 7 Tablet. It works well. Some nice apps on it. It uses Android 2.2 But, on the downside....those who purchased it from T-Mobile won't be able to upgrade to Honeycomb 3.2. T-Mobile customers are "locked" into T-Mobile. And, T-Mobile won't allow their customers to do this upgrade. And, Dell, the owner of the Honeycomb 3.2 software, isn't partnershipping with T-Mobile. Otherwise, I'm happy with the Dell Streak 7 Tablet.

  • i bought this one...upgraded to 2.2 ... and i am really happy with the phone..since i am a tech freak..i loved the screen..and extremely fast internet...highly suggested for expert users

  • hey i use these phone from 2 month. these are really a great phone. but these phone repairing is very costly

  • Dell is not a specilize player for Smart Mobile industry. see the performance comparison with Samsung Galaxy S11 and the Dell streak. far below the standeards. Dell should not wast time to meddling with Mobile phone industry and they don't know the competitor standeards.

  • This phone was a gift by my sister. I had it updated to android 2.2 over-the-air, so far the interface is great. I do admit that its too bulky and the battery life is rather short specially when using wi-fi.

  • I used to love this phone, big screen, great for movies. However it is poorly made. Mine developed a hardware fault after a few months causing the phone to reset after 5 minutes of usage and is unusable. If it worked i would rate it 10/10, but ive heard lots of bad faults and tales by googling. Currently being "fixed" but i wont trust fix, as people have reported getting it "fixed" more than 3 times.

  • I have had my streak for nearly a year & love it ! I am sad it is no longer being built as I would like to upgrade to one with a dual core cpu & icecream sandwich ! I have a stock froyo build which is great, but agree the stock Dell launcher (stage) is not so good & disabled it very early on. I have never had any issues with battery life which is as good as the iphone I used to have & my work blackberry. It does need to be put on charge each night, like any smartphone & I would recommend the desk stand. I am considering buying another 2nd hand streak so that I can investigate some of the custom roms available, but as hardware specs have moved on, it would need to be cheap. It is fantastic as a satnav, really easy to type on in landscape mode, a great video/music player & slim enough to fit in a jacket pocket with ease. Perfect for me, more of the same please Dell !

  • Dell Streak is not enough. I am a user of Samsung Galaxy S and the user of S11. and waiting to buy Galaxy Note. while in this I thought of trying to go for Dell streak since phone is handy and smart with at a price advance. at present I received a phone to temporaly use. My feeling is Dell is not enough and company is still biginer of phone manufacturing. And they have to go long way on phone industry.Samsung and Dell is at a big gap on performances.This information should read by Dell. if you want further information please contact me on uditha. [email protected]

  • my dell streak has battery error and can't charge after use of 3 months..there is also some error while installing some softwares...but the company change me a new one today...though i'm incomfortable about my old one,i really appreciate that they took the full responsibility of their products...thx :)

  • pls tell me i want to buy it for skype video call is it support

  • planning to buy a dell streak 5, can someone give me yr opinion or experience about the phone/tablet?? how about its performance and the battery life?? thank you very much...

  • Owned streak for u mos but thing is it keeps hangin especimy when.u use its own interface..nd ota upgrade for gingerbread still hasnt been released..So had to switch to htc..

  • Dell Streak (5) is very good but the native UI is garbage. First thing I did was replace it. I can't tell you which replacement to use, you'll have to figure out that for yourself but there are a few on the market that are very good.

  • Its a great phone i am using it frm last 8 months i dnt have any issue dnt go for negtive feedback its best tab cum phone

  • Its a great tablet phone i am using frm last 8 months i dnt have any issue if u want a sm smart tablet u can blindly go fr it

  • I barely had it for two weeks and the phone has gone bad, smelled something burning not from the battery panel but from the simcard slot. Screen displayed it can't detect sim and powered off. Never turned on again. Is there any known issues abt the sim card reader overheating on this?

  • I had this same issue immediately after unboxing it and doing the update to Froyo 2.2. After talking with Rogers tech support and doing a factory reset the result was the same. He promptly shipped out a new unit which has not arrived yet. In the meantime, I removed the microSD card and all was good. Once the microSD card was inserted it would hang again. Same problem? Resolved this issue by formatting the microSD card and any corruption that had previously been on the card was wiped out with the format. Dell Streak works properly now and issue was not with the Streak, but with the supplied 16GB microSD card. Hope this helps!!

  • i m planning to buy a dell streak.cud ne1 tel me hw is d sound and camera quality.and plz suggest me whether its a gud option to invest or nt.

  • great tablet, super phone...just ignore the negative reviews...and it does not feel big as a phone after one week of use

  • Mind blowing phone .................... no words to explain

  • Own dell streak 5" for 10months and the phone hang now and then all the time, glass break into pieces when from 2ft height and got one to one exchange (must pay U$230 as warranty not cover) and within a month the replacement phone got bigger problem, in particular, it will power OFF any time and refuse to ON most of the time. Battery must take out when power cannot ON. Dell refuse to replace the phone....that is dell.

  • what file formats does it support?

  • Size doesnt matter its fabulos smartphone I used already really good

  • it's to large... 5inch too much

  • Killer smart phone !! Best of the lot.. However you have to be prepared to manage its size.. Best tab ever !!

  • You can do it thru Dells site they have the updater there.

  • two words who sad that dell strak is not a gud phone just two words for all of u suck it

  • hey..can anyone let me know how to upgrade dell streak from 1.6 to 2.2 ......??? please reply coz m waiting

  • guys, avoid keeping the tablet in ur jean pocket, cus the screen always gets in touch with ur jean even the screen is locked.so the touch is active and sensor is working alltime.this leads to hang our streak and sometimes u cnt scroll down to attend the call. the device hanging problem will not occur if it was used in proper manner. and our charger port is so sensitive so handle the port with care,this is sensitive cus it comprises of 30pin port.. i have experienced these troubles but i got replacement . hope to use it in a rite way from now.. cheers :) :)

  • the Dell UI sucks, the pull down menu doesn't even allow user to 'on' Wifi, Bluetooth etc compare to other android phones.

  • I bought Dell streak. I am very happy with the experience.

  • the best thing i ever bought...i love it

  • I solved my problem, I sent it back and got a new one which works perfectly.... Thanks for all the advice guys...

  • I have been using this device for abt 4 months. I have never experienced any fault except from yesterday the called voice cannot be heard. I can hear on speaker phone but thats it. Any suggestions?

  • go to service center or where u brought it....

  • For skype videocall sir/mam only the back camera is working, but u can see the person inthe other line...., no video call using ur reg lod, still i like it so much..., really love it....

  • anyone...pls give me opinion either good or not if i buy this streak..pls...and tq for this website wcoz averyone can hear the opinion n do a good choice before buy it...

  • I love my unlocked streak 5. No issues with it since the day I bought it, that was 10 months ago.

  • how do you use video call on this phone? is it enough the phone is 3G? how about skype?

  • Yes...it does...but u need to side load the app as it was tweaked a bit to make it work....let me know if u need the app. i can send u the link for download. cheers

  • I owned this phone for a while now, I always experienced problems with it, since day 1. Screen stays black while talking on the phone and can't stop the call. Battery does not last at all and you're forced to stay by the power all the time. And the biggest down side is too fragile that you have to treat it like an egg which I did all the time until the screen broke from the inside when it was in my jeans pocket and I sat in a tight bus seat in the Airport. Can't zoom the camera while shooting video... I love the size but I will choose a different tough phone.

  • Does it support SkyPe video call

  • dont buy this....a very simple advice..if u want to waste ur money than this can be the right choice!!!..bought it in the month of may.2011....since than facing continuous problem...unable to use it properly even for 20 days..one after other facing problem..lately i tried to update my software..as directed by the dell site....my phone restarted and dell symbol screen is appearing..it got hanged..so i decide to take it to the service centre....came to know their for the first time that ur warranty is void as u have tried to update the software urself...after much dispute they updated the software and still facing the same problem..phone startup is failing...the engineers are also not experienced!!so atlast will comclude dont go for the device..everything thats shine is not gold ...do think abt this

  • Yes for YM.

  • Can this phone make video call over 3G network? like Samsung Galaxy S do... ?

  • You need Bluetooth File Transfer App from the Market to transfer files.

  • how do use bluetooth?it says paired but not connected

  • how to use bluetooth?it always says paired but not connected?what does it mean? thanks

  • my streak just hangs on the dell logo at startup, have tried all the things the forums say...anyone any ideas what to do next...?

  • very smart and good

  • it's fantastic.....

  • super phone ....! like it ...

  • hey can any one tell me how to use 16 gb of dell streax or it has another software as itunes for iphone

  • is better if you set price along the phone pictures and update if there is any price change

  • Bought the Dell Streak about four months ago and since then it has been a constat to and fro to the Dell Technical Support (principal problem : the screen will not light up after pressing the on button....you have to take out the battery and press it again to make the Streak switch on). I have hardly used the telephone. About a week ago, the screen of the Streak has shattered (so much for Gorilla Glass Corning !) because I had kept it my jean back pocket and was unable to stand the pressure. Dell Support refuses to take this into guaranty. I have lost more than 400 euros on this piece of junk.

  • Dell is not really in the smart phone market but What I have read here they did better with the Stream than some other so-called established brands in this business.

  • Great review with specific details. Thanks for the information.

  • hey gaurav i got d same prob. bt ma contacts were nt erased.. bt yes ma whole call log was erased...

  • hey hv do v re-install... it..????

  • d phone is just superb.. no problems.. i hv bought my phone 4m out f india bt nly 1 thing i came acroos is that ma phone got locked automatically.... why is it so..?????

  • I have been using Dell Streak 5 since Dec 2010 and I must say this has exceeded my expectations. It works perfect. Ever since I upgraded to Android 2.2.2 it has been even better. Battery life too improved and I am getting it for more than a day with WIFI-ON. Of course for this you need to root your device and I did it. The only complaint I have against Dell streak is the video and photo quality. It is OK but not great (6/10) for shooting videos or taking pictures. But watching Videos - 9/10 or 10/10 (full screen) it will blow you away. Performance of this device depends on the type of applications you use on it. All the communication and social networking apps work perfect. If it had the dual core processor it would have been nice. Overall performance 9/10. It is really awesome phone. And I hope Samsung Galaxy Note or any other company takes it one step ahead. Waiting anxiously for next Gen phones.

  • What is the special in 2.3 hah - gaming experience is enhanced and lotus notes is available According to me 2.2 is good

  • Hi dude I'm using streak from 8 months I'm not found any issues with this great device just once re-install software it may clear your issue

  • My son loves this phone. He sold his iphone 4 as easily got broken after 2 months use. He had this DS5 phone for 6 months and no problem encountered. He loves browsing using this 5" smartphone. Regret Dell stopped selling this phone. Maybe will just wait for SG Note in Philippines.

  • just swapped a notebook with this. It took a while to decide between the sg tab 7, would anyone know if the android games from the tab are directly compatible with the streak 5? or is it gonna be an entirely different game downloads for this

  • I have been using it for 6months.. Great phone.. Only two main problems (1)My phone contact are suddenly erased automatically along with call logs.. The contact takes about 5 minuts to come back after sync with Gmail contact... But unfortunately call logs are gone forever. I dint know y contact and logs get erased auto. (2)the phone hangs a lot especially the dialer. Please suggest what should I do,,, and does the problem happen with all Streak users.?

  • the screens can be bought off ebay for around $40 and they are not hard to replace will save you loads of money if you repair it yourself i could show you how to help

  • Agree. But if the price of galaxy note is USD 1,000.00 better buy Dell streak 5 as this is cheaper by 60%. But if the price of Galaxy note is USD 650.00,then buy the SGN.

  • Hey folks, Check-out the all new Samsung Galaxy Note. Its the next level to this phone. This was a good attempt but Samsung has created the Galaxy Note which is truly leading in this category of phone. Always on the look-out.... VIP

  • I dropped my Streak less than 12 hoirs after getting it and the LCD screen busted. I didnt opt for the insurance so now I am spending nother $100 getting it fixed.

  • i just want to know how u guys make a new paragraph in messaging?????

  • nice phone with large screen,but the software hangs a bit, lot of applications goes to "FORCE CLOSE" overall due to software latency my rating is 5/10

  • Hi guys I have been following this forum for a while.My intention was to buy the dell streak but i really wanted a much better spec so i decided to waited for the rumoured Dell Opus. But the way things are going and judging by Dell's handling of the streak, I am not expectant.On the 1st of September, Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy Note with a 5.3inches screen and all round out of this world specs. I immediately lost interest in the dell streak and immediately made up my mind to get the Note once it is out by the end of the year. So I will say SO LONG DELL STREAK. A word of advise to Dell : You guys need to get your acts together, atimes I wonder if you guys realise you are in a very competitive smartphone market.

  • to those concerned about the display breaking: it's very thin glass...of course it will break. my and dells advice is, do not, under any circumstance drop your streak

  • Use FRING, and take it from Android Market. It is free.

  • The phone is great in it's hardware, but looks like it is assembled by some school hobbiest, as the front covers (for the ear piece and touch hot keys)has come off and I had to use double sided stickers to fix it back...!!

  • and wht about glaxy s+ and lg optimus black??? which 1 is better 1=lg black 2=galaxy s+ 3=dell streak pls tell????

  • actually i have a dell streak since 2, 2011 its just little big than other smart phones, but its very comfortable. sometimes, it is slow . hmm im from korea, but i think, korean dell streak is different from american dell. but its same right? anyway,i think, its good for me :)

  • u can go for smsung galaxy s2 which has andriod 2.3 gingerbird

  • dell streal is simply superb gadget.Super like haha..its like havin a mini computer and a cellphone in a pocket. If ur issue is battery,ITS NOT MY ISSUE HAHA--i always put into GSM settings and off other unuse application then there you go--2-3 days battery on the go One of the things that I love most with these unit: I made it as a wi fi hotspot to my laptop then.Isnt it techy?I just love dell streak 5 HOPE DELL WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE GADEGETS LIKE THIS. NO TO DELL END OD LIFE-- :(

  • Pls suggest me an android phone of the same price range...with hd video recording and hd game play...without any lags..

  • Pls tell me if it supports hd video recording or not....and wht abt hd games..can we play them without any lag??...pls suggest me some other options in the same range...

  • I can video call with skype and yahoo messenger from this dell. It's great.

  • Video calling not supported any one help please

  • can v do video calling from qik or Skype from this streak?

  • I have the same problem, gorilla glass broken. what u did with the glass, from where u purchased & what's the cost

  • I love the streak! I recomend it highly. any questions? just ask

  • It has got major design flaw with their screen, not meant for day to day use as a phone. A phone might slip out, that is one of the day to day instance am quoting and there are many more on the list. I bought one late in April'11, believe me I have payed two times for the screen damage and both the times instrument fell just from a height of 1.5 feet and the screen wasno more, this is the design flaw am referring to.

  • Have not used Dell Streak. But Android 2.2 make a mess of my phone contact in Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. They linked up most of my contacts. Imagine 2000 contacts need to be de-link individualy. Takes about 1 or 2 days to 100% de-link. After upgrade to Android 2.3, no more linked up problem

  • I have no idea what the problem would be. I upgraded from 1.6 to 2.2 six months ago and have had no problem with downloading and/or running programs.

  • Hi, I am planning to dell streak. Please advice if its wise to spend money on. Any PROS and CONS for the phone. I am looking for user friendly phone and I have confusion so please advice... :)

  • Only problem with Dell PC Suit. It's not work with Android 2.2 upgrade. Currently I'm using other tools like "Android commander", ...

  • In Sri-Lanka, bought from eBay USA. Very useful for browsing web (without zoom) also not bad as a phone. My previous one is SE Xperia X1. Comparing with my old Xperia X1, Streak5 is great device. Very good Performance.

  • Device itself is good, but Dell's warranty is something that you can throw away when you buy phone, since it is useless. My LCD screen (not Gorilla Glass) has been broken for no visible cause, and distributor denied warranty, repair or replacement. They asked for about 220 EUR for repairing LCD, which is ridiculous, a new device can be bought for slightly greater amount of money.

  • hey friends i m gonna buy this phone but i want some advise from users of dell streak so pls email me [email protected]

  • hello im a dell streak 5 user and had it for almost 6 months now. and the device is great..! i dont know y people think its not a good device. never had any problems with the device. yes its a big phone but!! once people get the hang of using the device they will apriciate it and enjoy the dell streak 5. if they say it sucks .. maybe they dont know how to use the device ..

  • hey guyz...umm gonna buy dis phone soon...is that any problem with dis tab...if yes plzzz lemme know guyz...i need some advices from those who used the dell streak...thanks.....

  • Good bye Dell Streak. It has not been a great ride.

  • Thnx rinzy.......

  • i use this phone from may this year, is a great phone and work perfect, and now this sad news, no updates, nothing for this phone in the future.

  • RIP to the greatest device that ever was. One thing for sure. it will never die as long as im around :'(

  • You say USB: Yes/2.0, but in fact it has a PDMI connector, not a microUSB

  • does this phone supports java download

  • Hey John, download TUBEMATE from android market. That is the best down loader as far as I know.

  • very nice, one of fabulous version.

  • hi buddy go to anndroid market and get urself utube downloader or many other apps

  • How can I download videos from youtube from my dell streak 5.?

  • Dell's Idea of creating a mobilephone cum Tablet is great but they ought to think of a better os and satisfactory specifications. I suggest the next version (probably Dell Streak 5 pro) should be wp7, full of both entertainment business apps.

  • Is it worth buying compared to Iphone4 or Samsung Galaxy?

  • and yes the best part people no repairs just get a new one everytime it has an issue ,isnt that rocking ,love u dell

  • hi guys, been usein this unit for last 4 months ,no issues at all, wow if u watch movies ,great for music ,good looking, now comes with silicon case ,bought another unit yesterday for my wife who loved my dell, its so irresistable she could not choose any other unit ,they looked like toys in comparison ,the build quality is awesome ,what else v need guys ,dell rocks

  • is dell streak is a worth cell phone?

  • You are so wrong,boring i-fone dumbfone.

  • avoid this phone like the plague. I have had it about a year and its horrible and unwieldy. Dell support sucks for it and they leave you on your own.

  • I phone 4 is great failure, unreliable and untrusty device. its too easy to break when you pay £600+ I would avoid it

  • dear sir i would like to thank you for your opinion. here at mensa, we pride ourselves on discovering the greatest and most intelligent individuals. unfortunatly, you seem to have no grasp on the english language and its clear that, either you are a monumental retard, or that you were infact using the dell streak to write that comment, therefore proving how much it sucks ass. either way, you are far to opinionated for someone as stupid as you appear to be. please refrain from making us all suffer through your moronic comments and spelling in future best regards graham dorrans

  • I bought a dell streak 2 months back. I quite like the interface and the large screen. But its performance is disappointing as it hangs all the time. I am eagerly waiting for the android v2.3 upgrade for this. Any idea about the honeycomb upgrade. I would not suggest anyone to buy this phone.

  • how mutch price this phone plz reply me

  • HTC Desire HD is better.. I'll recommend you to buy HTC Sensation instead. It's faster and lighter.

  • Friends Htc desire hd is much much better than dell streak and easy to use. Htc Desire have good market value than this one.

  • how's dell streak's sound system?

  • hi a y'all .. can this phone make a direct video call??

  • anyone can tell me about android version 2.2, the advantages and disadvantages?differences with android 2.3? pls .

  • htc because the have better home screen interface the android works also better actually i`m an apple user just testing this devices and the android operating system but they are far far away from apples hardware and software not changing your mind but my opinion is to wait for the new apple iPhone its release will be a lot in front from every device because that waited and watched all the mistakes made from the other manufacturers so i think the new iPhone will be the only device without hardware and software mistake...

  • Dell streak is a nice phone cosmeticly,But performance wise i prefer HTC any day. sure they may have the biggest screen on the market but the performance sucks i had mine for a week and i sold it and overpriced may i add..the droid guy

  • but i read the pros and cons, they said it has a disappointing screen quality, i am deciding htc desire hd or dell streak, in ur opinion, which will be better?

  • The worst device...slow lagy and and definetly its not practical to use as phone,i got it on sale for half price but doesent worth....

  • If you can update to at least 2.2 purley for the flash player, then yes it's worth getting the Streak. But shop around for the best price.

  • The screen is TFT which is really good for visibility in very bright lighting conditions. Screen is a good size and is good for viewing web pages in landscape without having to zoom in.

  • for those who had hanging problem when put into their jeans... try to put the glass front facing inside your jeans ... it 'll be okay then.

  • i am planning to buy an android phone which has a big screen, will dell streak be suitable for me?does dell streak has full HD or led or amoled screen? :D

  • accelerometer sensor for ui auto-rotate - multi-touch input method - proximity sensor for auto turn-off gooddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

  • can v get bbm in dis phone any how???

  • Too big and disappointment after sales service. Internal display faulty due to pressure in pocket , dell don't warranty for this problem and ask to pay for the repair which is under warranty. If a phone can't keep inside a pocket then where should a handphone keep, I think is a design problem.

  • Sure one of the best mobile that you would have with u for years...

  • Is anyone using Dell Strek 5 from almost a year or more?? is it worth buying to use it for years?:):) ThankU

  • Does your laptop has Wi-Fi? Try using connectify if your computer is windows.

  • Hi! Does dis also have video call? And skype app? How about the quality? Tnx

  • The Dell Streak has 2gb internal memory and comes with a 16gb micro SD card.

  • Guys, some please tell me how to connect to the internet on my streak from my laptop via usb. I can connect easily with wifi when i'm in a wifi zone but how do I connect when the only option is my laptop connection via the usb cable. I tried it several times and the laptop recognizes the streak but the phone doesn't connect to the net. Thanks for your suggestions

  • Thanks dashy for that however i was quite keen in looking for the dell streak just wanted a clarification wether the internal menory was 2GB or 16GB

  • go to ebay. there is n8 with 16gb internal memory for sale at 17200 only. 3 months used.

  • Is the internal memory 16GB or 2GB as the specs says 16GB and the review says 2GB... I would like to go for a phone with large internal memory

  • Download n install fontchanger from market ,then google search for fonts .ttf file. Place the .ttf file in .fontchnager folder created in Root folder .Open fonter changer app. select font and apply. Enjoy streak. For me the best font is luxisb.ttf.

  • its going

  • It's a good phone, if you can deal with the size. For use of as a phone the size can be a bit of a negative - it generally won't fit into pockets and isn't easy to multitask with. Everything else is great and when you are emailing or on the web the size of the screen is a positive. If you would prefer a phone it's not your best choice but if you want a tablet with the bonus of being able to make calls then this would be a good pick.

  • Is the Dell Streak going to get gingerbread update

  • Hi I am planning to buy it. But can some one tell me 1) How about its battery life? 2) Is FLV and DivX/Xvid supported after getting Android 2.2? 3) How about screen brightness? Thanks

  • I have a dell streak, I wanted to know how to increase the fond size for viewing the messages

  • Admin.. Dell Streak 5 internal 2GB only. Not 16GB like ur mention in technical spec. Correct me if i wrong.. Thanks. By the way, Streak 5 awesome!

  • All the Android Phones gets the GingerBread update except Dell Streak. When r v going to get our update?

  • and with the dell streak you don't get them at all...

  • finally getting rid of the dell, for an iphone, thanks o2, this phone, or more so th o.s, is buggy, due to droid/google letting anyone publish app's, none of this with apple, i fell out with apple after getting this, but for the last 9 months have looked on enviously of my friends with apple's cannot wait, 9 months, 5 replacments, good knows how much loss of service thorugh the pathetic hardware...

  • streak is my heaven sent gift.... super love the device! i had this phone about 6 mos ago, back when it was still a donut. i thought then, pretty neat but there was a drag with the menus... few days ago, i came across it once more and for the second time, i had to buy a second color... good battery life and with the upgrade to 2.2 it is now heaven sent... it is the phone that can last me for at least a year... keeping my fingers crosssed :)

  • Hi, if there is any Malaysian user here, can you please tell me how's the call quality of the phone? Been read some reviews saying that the call quality on this phone is mediocre and people on the other side may not be able to hear the caller. But those review were for the Donut 1.6, and no more review on calling quality after Streak is officially Froyo... As much as I wanted this phone, I won't want a phone that couldn't even produce clear voice conversation. Thanks!!

  • Having used my streak since november, I am very happy. As with all android official updates, there are many useless bloatware to drain the battery. Most can be turned off. All my friends mocked the size and 1 day battery, but they are always complaining about their i-phones not working. I have had 2 crashes from having too many web tabs open. The battery is mostly drained due the the large screen on full brightness but this is a small price to pay for full web browsing. Used as a phone, I have had a 4 hour conversation leaving 45% battery, which is better than any phone before. The size isn't an issue after a few days. No laptop or tablet to carry is fine with me. Not having the highest screen resolution, fastest processor or best battery life isn't an issue. I would rather see a whole page rather than a tiny, high-res version and scroll around. I don't like the camera, but then I'm no photographer and the few snaps I've taken have been printed without any issues. I would like the start-up process to be faster, but it's still faster than turning on a pc. Using the streak as a phone only, I get 2+ days and with web browsing and video about 30 hours. Overall, I can't imagine going back to a smaller phone and hope Dell bring out a new version. It would he hard to adjust to a smaller screen, especially if you too have marrow thumbs ;-)

  • i am using dell streak fm three months . A great device. It becomes a bit slow if u download a lotta things but overall a very good phonein terms of good speakers sound quality,resolution,orientation,, specially browsin

  • I bought a dell streak around a month ago and I havn't looked back. Having faced jokes from friends at the start because of the size they are now thinking of getting one. I love it.

  • I love this phone . been using for last 5 months. and its great......:)

  • hi guys i m planing to buy dell streak can u give me some genuine advise shd i go for it or not . I heard tht it has some issue with battery backup n plzz suggest me sum more alternative which one shd i buy coz i m confused ri8 nw

  • US...Washington state

  • Fantastic

  • Where do you live? I want to know full details from you about the phone. I am planning to buy it.

  • A fascinating piece of hardware, with the real estate screen being one of the major pros...the capacitive touch screen is very responsive, with no hint of any sort of lag....The stage UI by dell seems to be a bit unpolished, but u stop givin a damn about it ven this fone gets goin.........plus some of the home apps like the launcherPro and d GO launcher luk gr8 on it....browsing xperience is a real treat, wid d pages loading real quick ....plus it supports flash !! The only major letdown is the 5mp camera that is seriously craving dell's attention...anodr minor issue is the scratch prone body on both sides of the gorrila glass encasing....besides dat, d call quality is xcellent ...d loud speaker isn't d greatest one around, but still pretty gud.....all in all, a wonderfull gadget wid some minor glitches....

  • Bought this device 10 days back; not at all worth buying, Android sucks, battery standby very poor, voice quality poor, camera worse than 2MP Nokia that I have. Would never recommend anyone to buy it ever.

  • I bought it yestrday, it is a little big but but evrything else is great.

  • Nexus s with no problem. 1.U will have all the updates in the moment they arive.

  • i have had the streak about 9 months, do not getanything on android, too buggy

  • i cant choose between dell streak and samsung nexus. can anyone help?

  • Everithing its better on desire hd.Starting from materials used for the case and finishing with the best updates from android source.Not to mentioning the design that its outstanding.

  • O yeah... I just saw the damn fone n its damn awesome

  • Must Dell Streak

  • I Have two gtalk ids, but i am unable to sign out from the 1st one so i could log in with the other id! every time i open gtalk it signs me in on the default id :( disabled the automatic sign in option but still no uise... Pls help

  • phone is good ,but hanging problem wn i used my jeans pocket?????

  • does it have rings when a call is coming ?

  • @TT I faced similar issue when I a. had incorrect settings using SetCPU overclocks. Try removing the Battery and SIM card when the phone hangs. b. downloaded a 1G clip online. It somehow screwed up my accelorometer and touchscreen. Try performing a factory reset then re-init the touchscreen

  • @shinchan @ajaz The 5" display makes it a cross between a tablet & phone, hence mini-tablet. I use it daily for whatsapp, sms, phone calls (to the ear). I didn't flash the firmware but I did root it and currently on Dell's stock Froyo. SDcard basically just functions as flash, just plug and play. Anything without itunes is a plus Downside is the 5mpix camera sux, but it isn't a showstopper for me especially when the rest of the phone performs so well :) no regrets

  • best phone ive ever owned.. if ur considering on buying it, it will make all other phones look like toys.. 100% worth buying

  • good phone if you can carry a charger along with you .. battery last 2 and half hours..

  • Is this a phone or a tablet just like ipad?? Please help me out i am planning to buy this one only if it is a phone.

  • hello , i want to buy this phone (streak 5), is it good to buy it ?

  • Hello, I am Phearith from Cambodia. I am planning to use Dell Streak. What is your general feeling about it? Can you give me comments whether I should buy it? Thanks,

  • plz any one tell me the current market price of this phone plz.... and also i want to know about its accessories full specification thanx

  • hi,i'm using this phone for 3 months,..it was a great phone i ever use..but..now my phone seems have a problem..always hanged & jammed..how do i can solved this problem??

  • Another solution to the constant reloading of mobile versions of web pages everytime you run the browser is to download and install 'dolphin web browser hd' from the android market. It has an option to display web pages as desktop sites rather than the mobile versions.

  • If you go to the url bar at the top when browsing the web. Type: about:debug then press go. Although nothing appears to happen, bring up the menu and you will notice a couple of extra options. Click 'settings' then scroll all the way to the last option. Click on that, then select desktop. This stops the Streak from defaulting to mobile versions of sites. The only downside is that you need to do this each time you exit the browser (unless you press the 'home' key to exit).

  • Skype is available via Android market...but video call is not supported (yet). At the moment only voice calling is supported.

  • At the moment, there is no video call support in SKYPE on mobile

  • thanks a lot! your reply is really valuable. thx again tkc jayant

  • To talk continously for more time, one might not be comfortable with the size it has. The voice quality is fairly good as tested on my Streak, but pls do not expect crystal clear clarity. In my opinion, I would recommend this phone, who does moderate talking with the phone, ( if you want to talk more, attach a wireless headset ), want to surf the web more and would like to watch videos either from youtube or by loading on the phone. Afterall, this is a tablet with phone capabilities included.

  • Thx for the reply, but my main question is about the size of this mobile. do you find it convenient to talk continously for 45 minutes, i mean since its size is huge do you feel tired? also the distance between the mouthpiece and earphone is too wide? ie the other person can hear you well while you are listening to them>? pl let me know thanks for the input on battery.

  • Tnx...Im enjoying it now....

  • video calling can be done using 3g

  • im using it now, battery life far better than desire hd, battery life consider good as is 5" lcd, if u need more talk time, jz off the 3g connection, u can use the phone for whole day till nite for sure....

  • Hi dell users, Can any one of you tell me your experience using this as phone? I am into marketing and i hv to talk quite a lot on mobile. I am really not sure if the size of this phone be really comfortable to talk long hrs, Like atleast 45 minutes continously. Am asking this question coz someone had mentioned that the mouthpeice and the earphone distance is not apt coz of the size of streak which makes communication difficult.Is it true? second question has anyone been talking for more than 30 minutes on this phone and still find it convenient to hold it, clear communication , like no problem about distance of mouthpiece and earphone.pl let me know your input is very valuable for me to decide to buy this beauty. Also what s the disadvantage if you cannot make video calls on this through 3g network? thx in advance jayant

  • No video calling via 3g

  • Can dell streak be updated to android 2.3 if yes how time will it require???

  • did it support video call via using 3G network other than using apps ( tango , fring & oovoo )

  • Hey guys one word for this beauty , incredible ,lovin it

  • Mine came with 2.2 pre installed. I have updated to the latest 2.2.2 update which overhauls the UI. I get the occassional lag. Otherwise the update is good. although, I would only suggest updating to 2.2.2 if you are experiencing problems already.

  • Anyone out there has upgraded this streak to Android 2.2 or at least 2.1? What is your general feeeling of the phone?

  • It is like a note book pc

  • Switch your Dell streak off. Hold down both volume up & down at the same time while switching your streak on. Keep the volume buttons held down until the menu appears. Then just follow the o. screen instructions.

  • Kindly explain the calibrating process.... Im unable to perform as suggested. can you pls elaborate it step by step.

  • hey sameer can u please help me with the latest price of Dell Streak..

  • i like it very much,,,,,i hope ..to buy this hendset in futher /........

  • Wonderfull and fantastic phone..., Using since it has launched..., No complaints no issues...., Really a fantastic phone..., Can buy it blindly

  • The latest update still wont enable transfer of certain files such as mp3's via bluetooth. Googling 'bluetooth file transfer apk' and look for it by medeival software. You can get it ad free. Because the streak has the 2.2.2 update, it will work superb and you can transfer all file types such as mp3,4's etc to any compatable phone ;)

  • Been using my Dell Streak for a few days now and enjoying the experience so far. I own the Red version which unlike the black or white versions has a gloss finish on the back instead of the matt finish. As I said in my last post, the 2.2.2 update gives the Dell Stage UI a more polished and gives some of the Dell widgets extra animations. For example, the music widget has all your music albums displayed in a grid. Touching one of those albums, spins it around to the centre. Clicking on it again, spins the album thumbnail around to display the track listing. On-screen keyboard is spot on and am finding it difficult to make any mistakes when typing even at a moderate speed. Loud speaker durring calls is superb and clear. (it was easy to hear the other caller when driving). Music quality with a good set of headphones is excelent but no real equilizer options to fiddle around with (none I've found anyway). MP3 playback through the loudspeaker can distort on certain songs but certainly no where near as bad or as tinny as the htc desire. I've tried some games frome the market like the official Bejewelled 2 which look awesome in lanscape on the streak. As an addition to the on screen keyboard I am just trying out the swype function which I have to say is good once you get the hang of it. Now would I call it a tablet or a phone? I'd say it's a really oversized phone just for the fact that it allows you to make voice calls and receive texts but the screen is just the right size to brows the web and photos. It would take me a while to get used to a smaller screen like the iphone or htc desire after using this. Of course now with the latest update,flashplayer makes this a true internet tablet !

  • what si STREAK differ to samsung tab and IPHONE?

  • Does dell streak support motion gaming?

  • hi guy.. i am new on android os...beside tat i oso not familiar on the dell streak as well...how long did u guy using ur streak? coz i considering to get a long term phone (2year)...does it streak will easily spoil or lot of problem?? thx!

  • Don't know how long this has been available, but after recieving my Streak today, it notified me of the 2.2.2 update. This is diferent to the previous 2.2 update and it really fleshes out the Dell widgets. They get some really nice animations now. There was a problem with using the Facebook Dell widget which 2.2.2 sorted out.

  • Funny how it was considered to be a tablet when 4+ inch phones were not known yet.

  • I am intending to by the Streak 5, I need Arabic Language, does it come loaded?

  • can i use mp3 as the phone alert tone in incomming call and txt or sms alert tone ?

  • please help ! I am not able to add any emails or log in on maps etc... the data paln is running and have checked it with my operator...! also i am able to browse the site :(. Please help. Chetan

  • dell streak is best phone.trust me.buy and enjoy

  • Been using the Streak 5 for last 2 weeks. Its a wonderful device. Got the new device which comes with Android 2.2 (Froyo) pre-installed. It's indeed the biggest smartphone and the smallest Tablet around :) and I like it for what it is. Suites well for all my requirements - screen is big enough to read documents/email - Great for gaming, love the Angry Birds on this big screen :) - Big, but still handy to be used as a mobile phone. - Includes Swype keyboard, makes typing just Swyping... :) - Touch response is awesome Assume the specification/review here should be updated as there seems to be changes in the device. The specification shows 512MB each for RAM and ROM. My device shows internal storage available space 1.6 GB, so I assume the total internal storage is 2GB. The Froyo version has a Dell Stage Widget, which is very handy.

  • hi, Can anyone help me with a link to donwload games and apps for streak ? I am a 01st time user of android and wonder if anyone can help me download apps from google store or something. Appreciate. Cheers CD

  • Does this phone support flash 10.1?? pls tell me!!! thanks!

  • Why no FM radio present in such high end mobile ????

  • Why no FM radio present in such high end mobile ????

  • Is this phone as good as the ipod 4 for gaming? what is the price on the monthly deals? can this phone be used as a sat nav?

  • The Dell Streak 5 is very good to use as a mini pad. Don't expect it to have the power - Apple Ipad, Samsung Tab or even the HTC Flyer (which by the way is excellent if you want to use it as a notepad to write on) The Streak unfortunately doesn't come with that option. So if you are planning on getting a phone to take notes with a stylus, forget about the Streak. The screen is ok, not as sharp but still good enough and the operation of it's icons is quite easy to use. As a mobile phone, the size does make it a little awkward to use but you will eventually get into the habit of holding it right. You can use a head set instead. This phone is not for everybody and may take a bit longer than usual to get accustomed to the phone but I am happy with it as a small tablet and a mobile. List what you want in a phone first then look at the specifications and compare.

  • Dell Streak can be upgradable to 2.3,do we get the official release??

  • I own one and it does not come with a writing stick... i thionk it would not react to one...

  • I have one and it is absolutely fantastic!!!!!=)

  • sure. It should have some notes application, or some apint like application. If not there surely is some paint/notes app on the android market place for free. It's such a simple thing almost any phone today have such a thing...an app in wich you can draw scribble freely.

  • its the father of all Android phones. Love the HTC sense UI, but, when it comes to performance and utility, I think the Dell Streak leaves all phones far far behind. I have had the phone for over 2 months now, and, I still haven't gotten enough of it. watching movies, playing games, surfing the net etc is a whole lot better on the Dell Streak, just coz of the huge screen. I think it does all the things are tablet is meant to do for you and on top of it, it his 2 advantages, its pocketable and can make phone calls. I was very skeptical before buying this phone myself, but, I would have been stupid if I wouldn't have bought it. whoever is thinking of buying it, trust me, just go for it.

  • It is available for 24K in Bangalore.Its a good Mini Tablet.

  • I'm looking at buying the Streak 5 more for work purposes. My question is, does the streak have a notepad where one can actually use a stylus pen to write? I am a writer and historian and thought that having something like this would be ideal than taking a separate voice recorder and pen and paper - also lugging around a laptop which can get quite annoying. Thanks

  • whats the meaning of uppgradeing 2.2 ... is it anew type of version

  • hey what kid of crash has been happend ? just far upgrading it takes this type of actions ha.. am really attracted to this mobile

  • Mine does that sometimes too. A simple lock and then unlock solves the problem

  • Dell Streak is NOT upgradeable officialy nor unofficialy to 2.3. And videocall is not supported.

  • If upgrade specifications like 'samsung glaxi s II'and more as include 12 MP camera,high regulation video,radio itc.Then it will be attractive best.pl try to upgrade.

  • If upgrade specifications like 'samsung glaxi s II'and more as include 12 MP camera,high regulation video,radio itc.Then it will be attractive bes.

  • I have had issues with 1.6 conversion to 2.2, It was due to the Sales Group's ignorance of the function keys..They are found in/on, the Volume and Camera buttons..pressing simultaneously will lead you to several menus all of which can correct and even re-boot your system..The Dell Streak? LOVE IT...learn more every day...

  • Updates for the Streak are available OTA (Over The Air) If you are wanting to upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1 or 2.2 try going to "SETTINGS" all the to the bottom "ABOUT PHONE" then select "SYSTEM UPDATES". With mine, AT&T locked, mine indicated that there were no updates available. However, knowing the 2.2 Froyo had been available for quite some time, I searched various sites/forums until I found a link that would allow me to upgrade mine to the 2.2 Froyo.

  • My Dell's touch screen has a problem: not responding to comands after wear it in my pocket.

  • i just got mine a few days ago and they did not give me the cd and i have not been able to update the software is it needed in this case for the upgrade and all ?

  • Hi, Dell Streak 2.2 can't support Video Call. But it can be upgraded to 2.3 from where Video Call functionality is Enabled. For further details please check the nearest store.

  • my dell streak takes unbelivably clear crisp photos in good outdoor light while still super clear if your within macro distance multitouch (although maxed at 2 fingers) is flawless and smooth supplied headphones are very clear Loads of memory supplied Crisp screen even though clarity is reduced due to massive size And YES it does fit in jeans! :) Sent my streak 5 16gb on O2 2 year contract at 35 a month

  • No.. You cannot make a video call on dell streak, but you can make a video conversation using yahoo messenger

  • i have used that phone quite a lot and i would say this phone is amazing for internet, games, reading books, music and videos as well as it has a great battery life!!!! & works well after updating to android 2.2.2

  • what does it mean, it is upgradable to FM ????

  • I've Dell Streak 5 : The technical specifications about Colour resolution is given as : 5 Inches color transflective TFT 16777216 scales 800×480 WVGA. It means 16 + million Colours. I'm quite happy with its performance. But the phone is not meant for music lovers & there is no FM Radio. Of course upgradable for FM it seems, which I didn't dare do, for the fear, I might spoil its basic capabilities.

  • i have had the dell since it first come out last year i was due a upgrade from a previous iphone 3g . due to the sheer size of the dell i got roped into a 24mth contract since then i have had 5 replacement sets due to them not capable of everyday use everytime i have had to claim on the insurance due to o2 saying its not there fault or phones fault but i find its true remarkable equipment but it frezzes n just wont unfrezze it dosnt matter how many times i switch it on n off n reset the phone it wont work again i have to claim on the insurance and 02 refuse to change handset replace ot for free. 02 are useless when it comes to costumer care ! my mate has a iphone 4 and hes had it longer than i have had the dell and it hasnt let him down once therefore iphones are in leage of there own !

  • i want to buy this phone, but i dont know this phone can video call? please tell me? thanx

  • Hey All, Had purchased the handset just a few days back. My serious review : 1. Screen Size rocks. Browsing,gallery views,ebooks, news reader applications are brilliant 2. Not v diff to carry and fits in ur jeans well. Jus some poking while ur riding a bike 3. Capacitive touch screen is excellent, although not comparable to an iphone 4. All applications on Android Market work beautifully 5. Legibility in sun is good when brightness is kept high 6. Compatible with bluetooth devices w/o any hassles 7. Widgets and wallpapers and the UI rocks 8. Notifications, typical of Androids are really handy for sms, system updates, FB, Twitter etc, Market etc 9. FB, Twitter, e-mail clients like gmail are well synchronised 10. Battery Life sucks big time, cannot avoid with the screen size and internet usage evident 11. Camera is not good, my Nokia N95 was much better, ditto for video 12. A bit cumbersome to take calls, but once ur used to dis, u would be the centre of attraction for all good reasons. 13. Theres some complicated method of system updating to 2.2.2 Android, just released for dis. So eventually while doing that, my dell crashed and m expecting a replacement frm dem soon (Since dis was under guarantee) Thats about it.. Ask me more.. Will tell more.. And yea, for the price, try purchasing from US, will always be cheaper. M from India, where its 30k, coming to around 650$

  • Hello for the 2.2 still GSMarena didn't post the review... in fact i was asking them to make review after the 2.2 upgrade

  • Just got the phone and it is damn big as a phone. HTC Thunderbolt is 4.3" but is much smaller compare to Dell Streak 5

  • Hello I've bought my Dell Streak with android 1.6 where I had options to set my camera ( megapixels, video format, etc). Now with android 2.2 I can't do this anymore. Is there a posibility to set up my camera somehow? Thank you best regard Mitch

  • I get a ram of about 254 just after killing all the running apps and yes, you can edit office docs on the cell. There are various apps on the market (some free and some paid) that can help you do that.

  • Hi gsm arena,give me explanation to make my device get video record 720p. I have been using 2.2 froyo but i not found to setting resolution camera and video rcrd. Thank u.

  • GSMarena thank to post review after the 2.2 update

  • The best tablet I have seen ever.:-)

  • Hello Does this phone support arabic language?

  • hey im too having the same problem.. but i contacted tech support for help n they said its going to sorte out very shortly... but therse guys wer saying it from the past months.... i wish it would resolve the problem as soon as ....

  • Hi,help me why my device not found the camera resolution setting and video record to 720p.I have been using android 2.2

  • That's a known "problem" - well not exactly a problem, just an annoyance: you need to calibrate the screen. To do that, shut down the device, turn it on again by holding both volume buttons; then scroll down to option 3 (calibrate) and press camera to select. Then follow the instrucctions ... This should do the trick.

  • Hi joel, can you check your task manager and tell me how much RAM system using when on standby i mean close all application and check the RAM usage. thx

  • Hi joel, can you check your task manager and tell me how much RAM system using when on standby. i mean close all application and check the RAM usage. thx

  • the screen is superb. super fast..ive had this for 4 days and never had a problem. the battery is not that good. better have a back up if you use internet all day. but i dont have any problem with the battery. i charge it every night. it takes about 2-3 hrs to fully charged it. loud speaker is not that bad. i give it 8/10. i havent seen any issue yet. dell streak rocks!

  • This is what a nice gadget..now everything is changing and seems more people become more techie and fall in love with gadgets like this...I want to like that also..hahahahah James | vaccuum

  • This handset was fine till the 2.2 upgrade. It is now useless as a coporate piece of equipment which it was meant to be. It will no longer sync with Outlook or lotus and the only answer or remedy you are offered is to sync with Google, which is in the public domain! My advise to a serious user who desires upmarket functionality is to avoid this phone like the plague. I would also advise that it is unlikely that any handset with Android 2.2 on it will work.

  • great phone specially for the price. a phone and a tablet. the screen is superb. ita has everything you would want for your phone and tab.

  • can we connect streak with usb hardrive(powered)and play movies in streak

  • I just read about this new handy computer and it is so cute and I wonder if it is good enough than other tablet... James | vaccuum

  • Seriously....This is the best thing that i ever bought investing 32K.....Multiple reasons to be happy...But 3G calls....Shame they do not support it.....

  • this is awasome phone,1 of the best phone,easy to carry.,good multimedia,office,mail,every think is availabl but video calling is not supported but if u download "Tango" software its work perfectly.

  • I got one by exactly the way you described. It perfectly works in india. 2G,3G, etc everything works fine. I accept its a steal in 400..and this tablet is awesome. Its giving me all the wanted attention.

  • hi anybody just wanted to know, on standby mode how much RAM your device eats (please do not open any application then can you check. i have samsung TAB. it has only only 512mb Ram. on standby mode it is taking 235mb Ram, balance only very less. One more question !..will you able to see ms office documents and edit as well. especially i need to open/new excel file and edit as well.

  • The Slide lock works perfectly well for me. There is a power button right next to the camera button.

  • Good phone but the slide lock wont work all the time how do I turn it off

  • Gsmarena has been very lethargic in doing a rereview of del streak froyo. I was also waiting quite some time for them, but deided to check video reviews on you tube. They were helpful.

  • Hi phone addict, Glad To know that you love the dell streak and are looking fwd to buying it. I think itll be worth the wait. As far as the swype text input method goes, I am so used to it now that I have stopped using the regular tapping method. Guess, your galaxy tab should be having that too.. As far as the price goes, I think that was be best part of the deal. I am in India, wheret the dell streak costs equivalent of usd 700.. But, I ordered it from dell us website and asked a frnd to cary it toIndia. I had access to an employee purchase program where I got an additional 10% off on the regular price of usd 450, getting the price down to aprox 400 and then I will be getting a usd 50 gift voucher which I can use on dell website to buy stuff. Even if I dont attach any value to the gift voucher that they are giving away, usd 400 was a steal compared to 700 in India. Lemme know if you want to know anythinv else. Would be glad to be of any assistance.

  • the video which i have recoreded from my dell streak is in 3gpp format could i can record in mp4 format i got a 2.2 update also..

  • the video which i have recoreded from my dell streak is in 3gpp format could i can record in mp4 format i got a 2.2 update also..

  • Hi Sam, just wanted to know, on standby mode how much RAM your device eats (please do not open any application then can you check. i have samsung TAB. it has only only 512mb Ram. on standby mode it is taking 235mb Ram, balance only very less. One more question !..will you able to see ms office documents and edit as well. especially i need to open/new excel file and edit as well. thx

  • ryuguy, Don't sell your phone. Buy a leather case to avoid the slipperiness. I believe there lots of leather case out there in Singapore. Look for brands like MONACO vertical case, VIVA, PDAIR leather flip, favve portage etc etc. Big screen is good, it's not that heavy. Trust me, buy the leather case you will love it AGAIN. Wished I'm near you to buy the phone but I am not. Just held the phone for testing at a shopping mall last week, am going to buy it next week.

  • Ranu, I am saving some monies to get this legendry phone DELL STREAK 5". Been waiting for the phone to arrive in this country. Seen 2 units in a shopping mall last week. Can't wait to have my hands on it. How is your SWYPE thing, loving it? I had SWYPE on my SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB and I am loving it. Use it to reply read emails when I am outside office. I think DELL STREAK 5" is just nice for phone and tablet. Was it very expensive in your country? It cost about USD550.00 here. If it is expensive in your country, then I'll buy it next week. If yours is cheaper than USD550.00, I'll wait for a few months until the price drops. Let me know.

  • Shall I read Hindi websites or Hindi UniCode Fonts on this? Please someone tell me, it will be the deciding factor for me to bye it or not!!

  • can we please have the dell steak reviewed again with the new 2.2 update ... i would like to see some photos of the new update ... want to buy a dell steak just deciding.

  • I had asked people on this forum itself if I should go for the Dell Streak or not. I got a lot of mixex replies. I went ahead and ordered it, thinking that Ill sell it if I dont like it.. Guess what, I am loving this device. Its just been 24 hours that I have been using this device, but, I can get around it as if I have been using it for years. The large form factor and screen is a definite attention grabber. There are a few draw backs: 1. I found the phone to be a lil slippery 2. Speaker not great 3. Camera images a lil grainy even during day time 4. Initially you can press the 3 buttons accidentally while trying to just hold the phone. But thats about it.. I am quite fine with these drawbacks and I am loving this phone and there is no way that I am selling it anytime soon. All you guys who are planning to buy this phone go ahead and safely do so after considering the points mentioned above. Please excuse any spelling mistakes in the posting above, I am still getting used to the swype keyboard. Yes, I have posted this from my Dell Streak.

  • I bought Dell Streak in december 2010.. and it has been nearly 4 months. Os- Android 2.2 excellent Wifi - Works great Calls - Call Quality is great no drops in calls at all Applications - depends on the kind of apps you use, personally I use apps which are rated highly in the app market... Battery- Is fine comes for 8 to 9 hrs and charges very quickly using charger and USB charging option too is available Camera - photo quality is wonderful , Videos are OK but not great , will do the job though Games - Excellent , I have played few games and experience is amazing Overall - 9/10 , I wish Dell streak 5 had Nvidia Tegra 2 processor then it will be perfect device Right now I use Dell streak 5 as phone and tablet ITs amazing.. I would strongly recommend this device But note :- Do not fill it up with garbage apps which will obviously slow down the performance..Please check the comments and ratings before you download and install from App market.. I am very happy with Dell Streak 5 , now I am planning to get 10 inch Tablet .. Cheers! Sam

  • i am really wondering why some guys have issues with battery. my dell streak runs for 10 hours in a day. sometimes, i wanted it to die soon enough so that i can charge it before i go to bed. so what i would do is run as many apps as i can until it reaches 15%, then i charge it overnite. i run froyo 2.2.1. i have 3 important apps that i run. juice defender for my battery, ram booster for the speed and battery doctor for battery indicator. a couple of things that i also did was to remove the vib mode and uninstall useless apps that are running in the background. dell streak rocks.

  • thx buddy

  • DELL STREAK can use as normal phone answer the call.

  • Hi anyone !! i just wanted to know. how to make calls from dell steak. can we talk like normal phone ? or is it required blutooth headset or earphones ? we cant talk as normal phone in samsung galaxy tab. it will required headset or we have to use speaker phone. it has no earpiece. how about dell streak ? thx

  • Hi iaminauh, Thank you for your interest in Dell Streak. In regards to your questions about ear piece, Dell Streak 5 has got the functionality of a normal phone with a built-in microphone and ear piece. However, that might seem quite big to hold against head. Most of the people use Dell Streak 5 with a bluetooth headset. Should you require further assistance, email [email protected] Thank you

  • Hi you can make calls like a normal phone cause u do have a earpiece on this. It may seem a lil big while holding it on the ear, but with me m ohhk with it lookin a bit big... Thanx

  • Hi Darsh, i just wanted to know. how to make calls from dell steak. can we talk like normal phone ? or is it required blutooth headset or earphones ? we cant talk as normal phone in samsung galaxy tab. it will required headset or we have to use speaker phone. it has no earpiece. how about dell streak ? thx

  • where i can find the battery of my dell streak huhuh you know where i can find battery of my tab??

  • I really like Dell and Sony products (canon is sort of okay with cameras too) Apple is FAIL. Used tons of apple ripoff products.

  • hii guyz i bought dell streak for 32k nd itz worth for payin coz u ill get more den ur expectation..hats off to dell

  • Hi guys,have been using this tab for a couple of months, it is a very kool gadget to have....i had a question... with the yahoo messenger app on this, it uses the back camera for video chat...is there a way i can use the front camera....is there a video chat option in Skype...Thanx for your help

  • first of all Dell streak is one super cool gadget. Has everything i need and anybody would want. Super huge screen, good picture quality good video presentation. There are certain things i would like to share. 1. Yes the battery backup is short but learn how to use the battery then it will last. If you believe to use gprs 24 hours and want the battery to last not possible, touch screen vibrator has to be turned off. background sync of data for 24 should be stopped. then it will surely last. 2. Someone said on the list that it was sold by saying it was android 2.2 . You are mistaken earlier it came with android 1.6 only there were only some few dell stores abroad which sold 2.2 else an upgrade to 2.2 works fine for me. 3. someone said its too heavy... i wear formals in office yet i carry my phone to office and gives me no problem handling the weight. If you had so much of problem with the weight you should have thought of it before getting fascinated. Dell is one delicate gadget and too sensitive. Flood it with applications you need. else yes flooding it with too many useless apps may make your dell to hang. Mine works perfectly fine. MY 1st gadget in 2011 was dell streak kicking off Xperia

  • I have the Steak and I love it. I have owned a lot of phones and this is by far the best for me. It is NOT for everyone though. I travel a lot so I use the enormous screen a lot. The build quality is par none and it is speedy. The screen is GORGEOUS!

  • the funtion ok or not...

  • Hi shilpa hear ple help me i dont no how to do video call in strek,./.,

  • U have to purchase the app fringo or skype or tango go to market search video chat free

  • HI BaiBhav, go to privacy in settings and click factory data reset. The device will be reset and on start up you can enter your own gmail id.

  • From settings, go into Accounts and Sync. Tap on email account which has your brothers ID. and Click on Remove Account.

  • The best tablet ever....no words to describe...this is THE BEST...than any other tabs. Waiting for 2.3 update..

  • Awesome guys...havent seen a better one than this....i use it as a mini laptop and can make calls also...this is just tooo good.Dont waste time....Dell also gives a years advance exchange,,,,,

  • To answer the questions: 1. the battery life sucks with v1.6 but is great with v2.2 2. the camera is also only really good in daytime outside. (no phone camera is even "good" in the dark. 3. The UI is Android so the launcher screen is customizable and interchangeable with different launcher programs.

  • Hello I purchased a Dell Streak for the simple reason was that my eye sight is not what it used to be and I seeing if there is life after an Iphone 3gs. 1) it is heavier 2) bigger in size ( half tablet , half phone ) 3) did not hook up to my PC big problem 4) spent 4 days with every technition the phone company had) 5) When purchasing always make sure that you getting what you are paying for and do not fall into the you can upgrade this .I was sold an android 2.2 and in fact it was a 1.6. Upgrades did not work 6)I did notice that it did respond to the internet better than that of the Iphone when it came to You tube.Like instant. 7) The keyboard I found to be small and you have to type to the top of the letter. I seemed to spend a lot of time correcting my messengering . The good part was that it was quickly giving you available words to select instead of typing the whole word out. 8) The two camera system was fine and the flash unit was pretty bright and strong. There are plenty of photo options with this camera. 9) I was unable to hook up to skype maybe it was because the phone and laptop were having issues and not talking to each other. 10 ) Found that texting with this unit was difficult. 11) Did all the upgrades on the unit and still did not want to talk to the computer. Computer is a two year young compaq. 12)I returned the unit back to the store without a problem .Excuse , excuse , excuse. In all fairness I will give this unit another chance to redeem itself.

  • planning to get dell streak. give me idea how it works.

  • Dell Streak QUALITY ISSUE I bought Dell Streak on 11 March 2011. The sales man told me that it has got two cameras. One one the front for video chatting/calls and the rear one (5M Pixels) for taking picture. After I bought it, just realised the front Camera is not working. I tried with Mirror Apps, live chats on Skype & Yahoo; but all my effort wasted..

  • got my streak yesterday. awsome feel to hold it. very good UI. love the android. excellent screen resolution .. love everything about. all those out there who want a bigger screen streak is the answer. i got bored of the 3 to 4 inch screen. this is defintly a good phone. no issue in voice clarity during calls and music. i wuld rate it a very good phone to have.

  • I really like this device and I have read various reviews and comments made here,Can I ask the following questions please. 1. Does this device have push email like the blackberry, how frequently does email drop( really impt to me ) 2. How many email addresses can be set up. 3. Can you view Word documents , spreadsheet and powerpoint stuffs and edit them on this device ????

  • After reading many postings I decided to go for it. Screen is the most important feature.

  • superb phone... best phone in the history of mankind.....

  • by the way, keep a pcs of paper with you.. :D thats the solution... :)

  • Guess that DELL Dont Have QA people there.. or else.. how come they launch a faulty product.. Brought the Product few days back.. just a buggy one.. Main Disadvantage of DELL Streak is .. its not QA properly.. else.. how come a brand new streak could have a restarting problem.. Im totally hopeless about this product. And trust me.. anything even nokia 1100 is better than this DELL STREAK. what to do stuck with the expensive waste .. Do buy anything rather than DELL STREAK..

  • Just Do It, The streak updated to 2.2 today. The streak gets a lot of attention, everytime I pop it out in class or in public people always ask me how does it fit in my pocket. It actually fits quite nicely, I never have to worry about if I have my phone on me or about losing it thanks to the 5" screen. It's a fun phone to just web browse, play widgets, and watch videos on. Although texting and making phone calls takes some getting used.

  • Okay the streak finally gets the 2.2 update, but this new layout is horrible compared to the 1.6 layout. Widget stage makes it seem cluttered and hard to navigate.. but I guess you don't always have it your way. The streak is still great

  • Go for it. There are actually only two annoying issues with this device: - non standard connector - so make sure you dont loose it (also, i'd expect for device priced like that to come with a docking station, not to be purchased separatelly( - a bit heavy (after holding in for a while, you'd start seeking for an armrest) OK, also the battery life *should* be a bit better - it's a tablet/phone crossbread, innit? So at least one would expect such device to last at least one shift, that is eight hours. Forget about squeezing much more than 5 hrs web surfing. And for 5" screen, a resolution of 800x480 is a bit grainy when reading small fonts. But you really need to have 20/20 to notice that. Besides mentioned issues, the device is amazing. Quick, responsive, stabile (given that you have froyo on it). Staility? Hey, i's android. So expect it to freeze or crash if you load garbageware on it. Mine crashed only once - it was one dodgy GPS software starting while receiving a phone call. and that was all.

  • iwant to buy Dell Streak Today can anybody advice me to buy it or not?

  • Give dell a break this: This is a common problem to just about every phone in the market.

  • sir ...please see the 14vth page of review there it is clearly mention how to update from 1.6 to 2.2....step by step.... for hanging clear all memories from phone memory..store it in memory card...

  • Never buy a Dell phone... I have a 2 weeks old streak. no dell engineer is able to fix its constant hanging and no accessories are available. The battery is very bad and when you question the guys at the service centre they just laugh it off saying its their 1st phone experiment. Sad but true for India market

  • i am a dell streak user. my experience so far with dell streak is just fine. the only thing i'm complaining is the battery, how can dell made a 5" inch display device with all its features (gps, wi-fi, hsdpa, etc) and not produce bigger capacity battery ? OMG

  • im a dell streak customer (head phone doesn't work, android 1.6 is complete mess and no update to 2.2, dell streak customer service representative keep lie, battery it die very fast, the charger is kind of not easy to hook up in to the device)and i recommend not to buy any dell phone.because they are not telling the truth but straight lie...over and over. now im in big problem. i dont know what to do with dell streak phone.they knows that's their fault but they don't take the responsibility.there are more better phones out there from other companies...please dont go for dell...

  • As a well wisher I don't advice I used for more then 2 months and again changed over to iPhone 4. Design is good hardware is attractive but O.S is not stable. Camera particularly at night is just horrible. In 2months dell replaced my hand set 3 times. Audio and call quality are too bad. I was obsessed to it only because of large screen. I got back my iPhone 4 and I also brought iPad 3G 64 gb with wifi. No android phones can ever match iPhone,and iPhone user in particular should not attempt to change because what they are using is the best.

  • Hi Guys, I have been using this device for the last 20 days. Tried to video call but didnt find any way of doing it. Does this handset have video call feature? Hope to hear from you soon. If it does where do I find the options.

  • i hav used this phone since 3 months and now i has stopped wo0rking due to its earphone's jack and chipset problem.....but overall its awesome...

  • 20 fps, seems playing videos may not be so attractive.

  • Awesome tab-phone super performance using it from the last 2 months no issues at all .

  • so iz it worth buyin or not ?

  • hey hii frndz.. i just buy dell streak two days befor.. bt today its nt going to turn on..:( tell me frndz wht to do????

  • guys I gues nothin to worry I hv lost ma streak in an car accidnet it gt damaed from inside nothin happened to the gorilla screen but LCD got burst inside ..Dell replaced it without sayin a word for 10650 INR .and hv replaced it twice ..in last 4 months

  • Perfect telephone, the battery is for one day but it is ok

  • The dell streak does work with any gsm network. Meaning, t-mobile, AT&T, simple mobile, any sim card holder.

  • I've had the Streak since launch day, patiently waited to 2.2 and the handset now does everything I want it to. REuns emulators brilliantly and the internet experience is phenominal. Big phone? Small Tab?? Who cares??

  • I have this phone and it is bigger than the normal phone. Buy it only if you want the 5" screen ... certainly not a pant-pocketable phone !

  • Using this master piece gem last 2 mnths, the phone is 2 Gud no doubt just go for it guys.

  • dabba phone

  • Its abt 33000 rs and body is too light and stereo and games are not avalble and its bttr to buy galaxy tab

  • I used Iphone 3 G 3gs &iphone 4,then i sold iphone 4 and brought DEll Streak. Intially even i was under impression that it is better then iphone 4 at better price,but No.After useing for almost 2 months finally i gave it up and I brought back i phone 4. Reason operatin system is not stable,cannot take Night shot though flash is there,Call Quality Very very poor, Music Quality is too Bad. Overall it standsno wherenear iphone.

  • better to buy samsung tab

  • the battery life is good or not can anyone tell me..??? because i wanna buy it.... help me pls.....

  • It would be great if every phone with "scratch-resistant" display had that expression in the specs, so if one searches for that expression, all of them would be listed. like iphone 4 and some others. Thanks.

  • Can the dell streak make and recieve normal calls like a cell phone?does it work with a simcard?

  • I have had my Streak now for 3 weeks, updated to 2.2 and so far had no problems at all. The phone is great to use and the size is perfect for a man with man size hands. The key board in portrait is a bit hard to use so I use it in landscape all the time. For me it beats the iphone I tried for a few days and handed back. Yes its big but that makes it easy to use and easy to see. Well done Dell for doing something different. It would have been even better with a btton querty keyboeard that slides out from the back

  • You are exactly right man and to add on, it should haev had a standard micro usb port instead of the proprietary charging port.. it sucks.. Dell is HELL.

  • i ordered my dell streak a few days back.. expecting it any moment.. i am regretting my buying decision.. after i ordered it, i re ad on mydellmini forum the numerous cases of the display getting thrashed with the slightest drop (but, nothing happens to the gorilla glass) and the very expensive dell streak accessories which can be bought only from dell, coz, there are not many 3rd party vendors manufacturing it.. Worst buying decision in a long timt.. Dell is HELL.

  • It Would Be A Nice One If It's Body Structure Would Be Strong. FIE Dell !

  • @saidur... dude eclair does not have flash player...its froyo update has flash !! dont mis-guide ppl...i ve been using the streak fer the past 3 months.... the phone is great...its fully loaded after updating to froyo OS....battery life is suited fr one working day...display clarity is great...the phone is sleek and not like galaxy tab (box-like)...between galaxy tab nd streak i wud surely reco the streak because of the scorpion processor which is gr8 and a typical dell product...

  • A word on Gorilla Glass. Its not indestructible. Its more resistant than normal glass and by far. I have seen a Dell Streak with a cracked glass. Thankfully it was under warranty (private warranty offered by the store). The value of the glass alone is 14.5k (Indian rupees).

  • A very gud phone frm dell keep up the gud wrk.

  • Buddy, this one has a gorilla glass to protect the display... Gorilla glass is what is used to make helicopter windshield and simply put, its indestructible glass... Nonetheless, I have heard cases of display getting damaged on dropping... My sincere advise would be to buy a body cover (case mate - shouldn't cost more than Rs.1,500) to offer some protection to your Rs.34,000 cell phone... I think anyone buying a high-end touchscreen phone would definitely do that...

  • android market is full of apps that can secure your sms, gallery etc...

  • Buddy you are the person who changed my mind for buying this costly phone. This is arrpox rs. 34000 in india. And if by any chance i drop it, will loose everything. Agree what you say, screen size is really good but if not sturdy its better to look for some other phone.

  • Does it have option of lock/password for messages like in samsung phones??? please some1 help..

  • Yes, it is pretty good with eBooks especially when you use a dedicated app such as Aldiko. You'd better convert the books to ePub format before reading. For PDF files, though, the screen is too small to read.

  • yeah thers quite a few apps

  • hey guys, just need some advice, on my second streak, as my 1st one charging port went, now with this one, when ever i try to down load any thing, it crashes reboots, tries to download, crashes and repeats, any ideas???

  • Does anyone know if the device is ebook capable -

  • It looks like a bad keyboard also. You are missing a lot of letters in your post.

  • Hi Just wanted to know if the phone is convinient enuf to attend calls without a bluetooth device? And also if the device is handy enough for Jeans or may be trousers?

  • I've had my streak since december when the froyo update was released. I absolutely love it. Very underrated product. Obviously not for smaller hands, though. Great for watching movies, playing games, surfing net, camera use, texting, etc. Dual camera feature is awesome, but still waiting for fring and tango to support the front facing cam. Oovoo works great in their stead. Don't hesitate to buy. Perfect size and awesome froyo features and connectivity

  • dude dell streak is a great cell phone so go for it

  • i brought this cell on 30th jan and on 1st day this cell got dead n than didnt got start nw have send it for D.U lets see wat happens cnt even see the menu of the cell

  • I've been using mine for already a month so I can say a few things about it: Pros: good performance, huge screen(gr8 4 eBooks, video, youtube, photos etc.), looks nice without the huge Otterbox case which I got for it, good call sound but a bit weak, great OS functionality with Froyo 2.2. Cons: inferior sound quality - flat sound and not loud enough by any means, fragile(mine fell once and I see green color underneath the Gorilla Glass in the corner), no mini USB, camera quality is inferior even to Galaxy S not to mention iPhone 4.

  • How long have you been using it now?

  • I bought this marvel tab phone after researching the whole net world, as I was going to buy the most expensive mobile of my life. Lastly, i decided to go for it. Today I donot regret of paying my hard earned money on this marvel. This is the best to go for it without a double thought. Both cameras beat any other mobile cameras even if they are 12 mpxl. I strongly recommend for it.

  • If you want the BEST robust and shock resistant along with water proof Android ability buy the motorola Defy MB-525. It is classified as IP67! If you want the best and huge screen then buy Samsung Tab P1000. Who the hell is DELL to build mobile phones? Dell should manage its Computer division and forget about mobiles......

  • thanks.. that was very useful... Any more suggestions are most welcome.. I have just a few hours left before i buy it.. Pls help me..

  • It is a beautiful device, ideal for internet and e-reading. The camera and video are excellent. The email functionality for exchange and pop3 accounts is good, although the spam filter does not work well.It is despite of its size very convenient for phone calls and actually it is very easy to browse through contacts etc. The main fault of this pretty device is that it is very fragile, it cannot even be compared in terms of durability with an iphone etc. If you drop it it breaks in 3 pieces, the camera lense can get scratched, also mine developed a fault with occasionally being unable to charge the battery. If you buy it you should always protect it in a case and not squeeze it in trouser pockets or handbags etc. It will give you pleasure and the best functionality for internet, email, facebook, e-reading, all internet applications, videos etc, however treat it with the caution you would have for your laptop.

  • I am very confused whether I should buy the Dell Streak or not.. I love this device because of the screen size, good battery life, gorilla glass display, but, i can't ignore the negative like NO micro usb connector, NO LED notification light, faulty camera button and poor speaker performance. People, please help me decide. Thanks in advance.

  • a very good spare phone! kuddos!

  • Guys, the Gorilla glass is flexible, but the touch screen underneath is not flexible. So when you use the device,bear that in mind. While removing the back cover take extreme care not to insert too much pressure on the device. The device is thin and so flexible! and this feature can break the touch screen not the glass cover!

  • Buddy... Dell Streak has Adobe flash player support... repeat has Flash player support.

  • Yea you need to buy the optional hdmi out adapter.

  • did it having adobe flash reader

  • inr 30k

  • how many bucks it cost in inr currency??

  • does dell streak 16gb android 2.2 supports TV - OUT ?

  • plz not buy this set bcoz of hanging problem

  • Dear all, if you haven't bought a Streak yet then don't. Please read on. Unfortunately, as I recently found out, there is a design flaw, which causes the LCD to shatter, even without being dropped. The gorilla glass remaining fine. However, Dell have written this fault out of their warranty coverage and don't let you know this until you've bought one. I am now trying my best to get mine replaced or my money back - it is less than 2 months old. I actually really liked the product and it was ideal for my needs. So, until they've either a) fixed the design flaw, or b) admit liability and extend the coverage of the warranty, my advice is to go elsewhere...

  • Its a big shame for dell that such a expensive phone has no adobe flash player.... they should make another model with flash player with name dell streak proper one... lol

  • Amazing device guys ,just go for it

  • You are good...!!! Thanks for the information. Dell not only it has issue with moblie even with the monitors...!!! nits just bugging my life

  • yes you can do

  • Guys, I bought this phone a week back (after using iphone for almost a year. The first one i had to return the next day because it has a bulging at the camera button area. The plastic bulged out (just wondering how can plastic casing bulge out?). I returned the product and they replaced it with a new one. I seriously doubt the built quality of the product. I have dropped my apple more than 6 times and nothing.. yea.. nothing happened to it. Second, it has serious issues connecting to wifi. Connection takes almost 1 -2 mins from sleep. Sometimes it wont connect at all. Says the default wifi connection is disabled. I have to go manually into the settings and click connect. Those who use Iphone know how fast it connects to wifi networks! Third, No push notifications. Notifications appear in the notification bar on the top. If your device is sleeping, you wont get it. On the contrary in iphone, you all know you get push notifications no matter whether the device is sleeping or awake. Fourth, Some websites wont open. It says too many server redirects and shows a connection error message. over the last one year, i have never exp any website opening issue with iphone. Fifth, Flash is just a gimmick. It displays the content. But when it come to audio video transmission (like the flash based dialers for VOIP in websites) it wont work. Sixth,I couldnt find any offline storing of contacts - you need a google account to create a contact. Once created, it can be accessed offline also. Seventh, Many of the top applications in Android market are not thoroughly tested by google. Because, few applications i downloaded (eg, ebuddy) crashed and wont even open. on the contrary u seldom find applications crashing in an iphone (unless u have flashed it). Eight. For those who are looking for iphone like games in Android... there are no games even to match the high end games in iphone. What you get is some cheap kiddie games. No EA underground, No Battlefield nothing... Nine. No native video calling option. It has front and back camera.. but just for fun and taking own pics..Skype wont video call and only option is yahoo. Which wont work in this part of the world. Ten. The smooth scrolling you exp in iphone - FORGET that in Streak. The scrolling is not smooth. Few positive sides are, one the large screen. After using this for soemtime and then use youe iphone, you feel iphone screen is very small. Two. You can install applications offline. From website or from downloaded contents. Three. Moving background. Which is truly amazing. Correct me if I am wrong. Using Dell Streak 2.2 Froyo and Iphone 3GS 16 GB.

  • I downloaded skype.apk and installed it. However, video call (as in iphone) is not there.

  • People always complaining,it might be too big as a phone and too small as a tablet but I am sure there were people who wanted to have something like this. We'll never be 100% happy with what we have,that's for sure.

  • how dose it work

  • hi guys . i bought a dell streak 2.2 ....and i have a connection with vodaphone ...wanted to ask few questions . 1--does vodaphone provider works on dell cos i cant access my emails or google account thought i have unlimited internet with my plan. 2--how do i download games on dell 3- how do i download antivirus on dell as vodaphone internet dosent work on my phone .

  • thanks to the people wo replied me last time Can i install and use skype and make video calls like IP4?

  • try selling your dell 5inch paperwait.

  • can anyone telme plz tht why is my dell streak stucks on keypad lock and irritates againa and again even though i hve installed tht screen widget :(

  • Hi guys!! Can I install Skype on streak and use it like on a laptop (to use it for a video call, chat...)?

  • nice phone and good as small tablet its not comparition to any cellphone no one can beat dell streak its toooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooood

  • Sorry, I meant "of some help for somebody."

  • Hi G.D, thank you. It took me a while to put the ideas togheter and I was hoping it might of some people for somebody. How do u like yours? George

  • I've been disappointed in this offering from Dell. I expected so much more. It's nothing special - you can get exactly the same functionality with an HTC - in fact, it's only Android that makes this anything more than an oversized paperweight! iPhone did it first, HTC did it just as well if not better, Motorola did it with class (try the Moto Atrix, it's brilliant! and much faster than the Streak) It's too heavy - and for the size screen - the resolution could be much higher, at least to match the iP4. I'm really not too impressed. Oh, and the running time between charges isn't that slick either. All in all, if you want a 'Droid phone, go HTC or Motorola.

  • Does this phablet supports divx n xvid videos after the froyo update? Thanks in advance.

  • dell streak bro u will not regret i bet.......as i did loosse 8k on reselling the HD DESIRE SHIT.....

  • Its really a good gadget but need to rectify the specification that the talk time is lesser than 5 hours on any day.

  • Question for all those who are using Strek with 2.2 update 1. Does it hand when you get calls or mutiple calls at same time. Though my Nokia E71 hangs too. 2. Does it asks for a restart when you recieve lot of sms a time. 3. Working and handling is tough. I'm comparing HTC Desire HD and Strek. which one to go for?

  • A 10 inch Android Tablet � Dell Streak 10 at CES 2011 Dell just showed their 10 inch Android tablet at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2011. Dell introduced the new device only for a few fractions on a minute, It is just an idea of their next tablet to be produced (a dummy device) that arrived on the CES stage. It takes time to reach the market, the Dell Streak 10 is supposed to be launched next year, that is in 2012. more at

  • Its 1530 mah not 1350,battery back is very gud of dis handset

  • The batteries is 1350mA maybe dell should add some energy accesories like batteries with 2000mA up, just like galaxy tab

  • Very good handset,no doubt's. 16GB internal memory is grrrr88888888!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I know what I'm talking about concerning the Dell Streak issues and problems. I have been dealing with Dell products before they even start making Cell Phones lately. Dell products always have issues and drama which doesn't last long compared to Sony, Samsung, Nokia, HTC and Motorola. Check the facts before you start bragging for the Dell Streak which will soon be outdated and stock with it with issues and problems.

  • Dell streak 5 is first Tablet-Phone and does what it says it is very well.

  • Hi Kay, Your assessment of Dell streak is totally wrong it seem you are bias with the device. Dell is not releasing 7 and 10.1 because streak 5 is having issues. streak 5 is a table-phone while 7 and 10.1 are tablets period. don't confused your self with these devices. Streak 5 is an excellent devive. It does what it says: phone = Excellent tablet = Excellent. In my assessment i will say the dell Streak 5 is the first true TABLET-PHONE. The complaints i have read about dell are same on almost every good phone (from apple samsung htc etc. ) out there. although i try not to compare streak 5 with any phone or tablets because it belong to its own WORLD and untill someone come out with a similar device then we start comparing. (seen something in china but has not cross over).

  • My dell streak has never freeze. the wifi and everything works pretty well. mine came with with 2.2

  • Thanks for such an intresting information - i find a new dell streak 7 -

  • Hi George, Thanks for your comments! I've bought a Dell Streak Android 2.2, and been using for a week. I'm totally agree with you on everything you wrote about Dell Streak, and hope it'll be improved soon. Thanks, and enjoy Dell St. GD

  • if u face anykinds of problm related to frizz during making call & henging problm. We can see thease kinds of problm in meny device. it may b in 1.6 Ver. but ur mb hs 2.2 froyo thn u dont hv to face this problm in STRAK. if u hv 1.6ver in tht thn upgrade it into 2.2 (FROYO). hv a great fun with DELL STREAK

  • Dell Streak is not just good... its very good at what it does :) . I upgraded the OS to 2.2 and have never faced any problem. The apps are great (free and fun.. can be downloaded and installed without a glitch from the phone.) .... all you need is a internet connection ( I got 3G) and then you won't ever miss your laptop. Not to forget that laptop is not so portable.. this fits in your pocket !! There has been no reason to stop using my phone till now.... and i would give it ***** (5/5 stars)

  • The Dell Streak 7 and 10 seem to lack the ability to make GSM calls, they don't even have a dialer. They can't and won't be compared to the Streak 5 simply because they're pure tablets. However the Dell Streak 5 (Mini) is a phone/tablet hybrid, hence the ability to place calls. I own a Dell Streak 5 (Mini) and have never had an issue, and I believe is the best phone I will ever have.

  • in one hand it is super but in the other it disappointed me a lot, I love it but it did not bring me what I expected from it. 1.6 os looks much better than 2.2, it's camera is very poor, it does not make you fill that it's ram is of 512 MB and two app indicated that it has only 393.56 MB RAM, apps are primitive and poor as well, yahoo messenger does not use front facing camera, skype does not support video call as it promised. I only love it's performance, display and 1.6 os interface that's it.

  • I returned my Dell Streak few days ago because of freezing phone calls, freezing apps, lost Wi-Fi connections in my apartment, outdated software and few more issues I will not recommend to buy. Either you the HTC Desire HD or wait for the new coming phones such as Samsung Infuse, Motorola ATRIX and many more.

  • Hi all Dell Streak users, some questions for you- A. Does it freez everytime you get a new call or sms? B. Does it hangs frequently? C. Looses wi-fi connectivity often. I'm confused between HTC Desire HD and Dell Steak. Loved this phone when I saw it at Dell Stores. But after reading review little afraid of spending 35K on it. Request to guide me......

  • Very good device no doubt

  • People will laugh at you by saying Dell Streak is a super device if you was living in Europe or United States. Dell Streak is an average device with a lot of issues that caused Dell to release the Dell Streak 7 on T-Mobile and the upcoming Dell 10.1" screen soon. You should have watch CES summit on January 5, 6 and 7 which will show you the world most powerful devices just release with more to come this year. My advice is, don't allow the Dell Streak 5" screen fool you, wait and get better phones with 4.0" , 4.3" or 4.5" you will use for long time with satisfaction and guarantee.

  • I returned my Dell Streak because it freezes Incoming Calls, unexpectedly lost Wi-Fi connection, Crashed and unresponsive Apps and the drama behind the Dell Streak which will be soon forgotten. Check the facts, Dell just release the Dell Streak 7 to T-Mobile and a 10.1" screen tablet is on it way to the market. The Dell Streak 5" is a mess they are trying to recover by releasing the Dell Streak 7 and the upcoming 10.1".

  • Super device. I'm using it currently and I don't see currently better device. Good luck with the motorola or samsung or iWhatever...

  • can u pls tell me, what made u to return back streaks and purchase motorola, bcos streaks is avble in india but motorola 4g might not avble atleast this year in india. I want to purchase dell streak, pls suggest me.

  • Mohi, Dell Streak is nothing but a failure compared to high end devices and tablets. I'm returning my Dell Streak to buy the Motorola Atrix 4G and the Samsung Infuse 4G which are the world most powerful smart phones.

  • Guys, 16GB Streak with Android 2.2 (froyo) is just $399 in Dell (USA). Don't miss this oppurtunity.

  • price is around 35k

  • Awesome phone.....brilliant display, super fast processor.

  • what is the price of it in india..?? any one know

  • so far so good.. is fast wid a 3g... :)

  • Being distributed officially with Froyo installed in Vietnam after 1 year first debut.

  • Gud job dell, the streak is super fast with beautiful large display m luving it

  • Dude its 2.2 nt 1.6 , I bought it frm alfa mumbai n my frd bought it fm dell store both ur updated version

  • At This price u can look for Htc and ipad . Android 1.6 is old version . U can get android 2.2 DONT buy

  • The Dell Streak Software is average compared to other devices which will be announce on January 6, 2011 at CES Summit. I just came across Rolling Stone Magazine advertising AT&T HTC Inspire 4G which I will surely exchange my Dell Streak for. It similar to HTC Desire HD which I will recommend to anybody without hesitation.

  • does the dell streak support all the software like the professional software used for shooting purpose.

  • The Dell Streak does have email notification and received email instantly. I have tried few times sending emails to myself I received on my Dell Streak without delay by displaying on the notification bar.

  • Does it hv push mail feature??? Does it give incoming mail notification??

  • IF you want the portrait ui download some launcher from android market!!

  • dude internal is 2GB and u get a 16GB micro SD card along with it

  • now ain't that a simple conclusion Dude!! by the way..who said someonecant comment on something if he cant afford it !! i cant afford a ferrari but i still comment;dont i? the point is the Streak will get as many followers as detractors. I find it a bit confusing. Should i call it a tablet or a phone? its definitely too big to go in your jeans pocket..infact your front pockets have to be reinforced with rivets coz this thing is H..E..A...V..Y.. i mean it. but what a screen!! infact its better than most PMPs. Including Archos handheld.. I think it was brave of Dell to launch the Streak but being an ex Dell employee i think its time. Love it..hate it..love it..hate it.. dunno !! i guess its too heavy for me So i m happy with my BB 9630 !! and all who can afford it and have a taste for heavy phones..Congrats...you wont regret it !!

  • Dell Streak opinions: I've recently got a hold of this device. It is great one, great job Dell! I am not referring to the paper technical details but to the actual hands on experience, maybe there are some better ones in terms of technical specifications. Pros: +great form factor/display size +processor (which is a little bit to fast, I would choose more memory over proc. power) +memory +screen +battery life, but only if you are careful with the power management (screen timeout, running apps, running services (Bluetooth, wifi, gps). I am only referring to the updated android 2.2 version. +workmanship of the device. The device is well made, good materials, well assembled. The details do matter and Dell chose a 1530mAh Lithium Polymer battery type, the best type there is. It is made by a Japanese company and only assembled in China. Compared to the other cell phone batteries Dell went out of their way in order to provide their device with a quality battery (more mAh would be better). The used materials for the manufacturing and the technical specs of the battery they all say quality. I guess at the other end of what Dell offers is Motorola with the worst batteries I�ve seen. It�s also very important to distinguish in between the issues caused by the operating system and the ones caused by the cell phone manufacturer. The Os itself doesn�t come with to much software loaded on it and I really appreciate Dell for choosing this. Cons: -power button functions if you are talking and the screen turns off ( due to the short light time out period to save battery life) by pressing the power button to return the screen from stand by will also end the active call ( this is what happened to me while I had a talk with my cell phone�s network provider after waiting in the queue to speak with them. I�ve tried to turn on the screen to access the settings according to the instructions given the support, to set up the Internet access on it, and guess what, it ended my active call. The sideways touch sensitive buttons don�t turn the screen on either, only the power button has this function. Dell please address this as it seriously affects the battery life ( because I need to put a no light time out period in order to keep the screen lit. the power button function seriously affects the way the phone calls are being handled as well ! - touch sensitive buttons on the side are no so touch sensitive. I am disappointed with the sideways touch sensitive buttons that require repetitive and more powerful presses. I guess this is again related to the screen standby mode so it could be more of a software issue. Probably some real hardware buttons will be better. - display coating. the display could use a better, dry fingers friendly coating. Sometimes I feel my fingers burning because of the grip they have on the screen, it�s not something major but that could be improved on the next generation of Streaks. - battery cover dependability for keeping the device on, the way the device turns itself off when you take the cover of the battery. Eg. Because of a tiny space gap in between the phone�s body and the battery cover, the phone�s cover cloth got caught in that tiny space and I couldn�t get it out. I needed to take the cover of the battery out to untie the cloth case of the phone and the phone turned off, while in the middle of a call. It wouldn�t be such an issue but because of the Android os and the way all the software/processes starts itself at boot up It takes a while to turn all of them off in order to make sure the battery won�t be wasted by unnecessary software running in the background. These issues connected one to each other can get annoying. I am keeping close the Nokia E72 anyway, it�s very reliable so I won�t give up on it completely. After testing the battery life on an Iphone 4, Streak and a Nokia, I am definitely starting to appreciate what Nokia and Symbian are offering. Iphone 4 ranked the worst for battery life but it offers the best screen quality and lag free operation. The job I have gives me the opportunity to interact with the latest devices or seeing lots of devices of the same type in various scenarios. I�ve recently had an Iphone4 that I needed to restart 4 times in order to make it react to my key presses on the screen. Myself and the owner were shocked. Due to the screen resolution and some other factors the battery life on the Iphone4 is terrible, it�s a gorgeous device but for me Streak wins over the Iphone. Overall I think this is the best smartphone on the market for the needs I have. I tend to read documents on the go (various books, word documents, pdf files) besides the usual browsing and Internet related activities so the form factory, size helps me a lot. Everything I�ve shared/wrote is based on my personal opinions and expresses my personal views on the devices I�ve came across.

  • Amazing phone better that any other phone made by any other provider The only thing that i did not like is the battery cover as its a little weird dont think

  • U dnt hve it or u cant afford it dats y ur saying bad bout dis fone hahaa get a life u eriotic fool,u dnt hve any sense of mobile plus u dnt hve money to buy it dats d reason ur saying bad bout dis fone n who cares but ur stupid comment.

  • this is too big to be a phone. and too small for a tablet. DELL has lost its mind. they think they will gain market share with this phone. but its gonna shrink. very few idiot people like you will buy this pho-tab (neither pho-ne nor tab-let). As a result dell will discontinue its support for this pho-tab. No updates, no nothing. Useless

  • I've recently got a hold of this device. It is great, glod job Dell. I really do hope that you won't drop the support for this device, it has it's own flaws but overall I think It might be the best device on the market right now. I am not referring to the paper technical details but to the actual hands on experience. Pros: great form factor/DISPLAY size processor, memory, screen Battery life, but only if you are very strict on the power management(screen timeout, running apps, running services(bluetooth, wifi, gps, ). I am only referring to the updated android 2.2 version. Cons: if you are talking and the screen goes off pressing tbe power button to return the screen from stand by will also end the active call ( I was online with support of the mobile netw. after waiting in line and when trying to get the screen lit the power button ended my call. Dell please address this Asap. The touch senzitive buttons on the side are no so touch sensitive, maybe some hardware buttons will do better.

  • it not a good one..go for galaxy tab...it is much better then this idiotic thing..

  • Yes, you can copy and paste on the Dell Streak. You can also copy messages from SMS to your Email as well. I did that many times with my Dell Streak.

  • hi could u pls infrm if streak has cut copy and paste option and if its easy to trnsfr sms msg to email as in all blckbrrys tks

  • I bought my Dell Streak at BestBuy with a 2 year AT&T contract for $99.99. It cost $399.99 unlock directly from Dell.com (16GB).

  • I will prefer the Dell Streak with the 2.2 updates. I sold my Samsung Captivate to buy Dell Streak. I will recommend you buy the Samsung Galaxy S which has a Front Facing Camera I'm sure is better than Dell Streak.

  • please help me dell sreak is better or samsung galaxy s .is vedio calling is better in dell streak

  • what is the price of this phone??

  • You can use the Dell Streak with 2G Network and Wi-Fi. You can get updates and other features by connecting to Wi-Fi which I'm presently using at home instead of wasting money on 3G network on AT&T.
