Hello all,

Has anybody already used the new Dell Streak? If so I would be interested
in your experience, especially how it compares to smartphones like the
HTC Desire or the iPhone.

Thanks,
Georg

It's android, so it's going to be pretty similar to other 2.1 ones such
as the Desire and Nexus1, it won't have the HTC Sense "skin" (you may
regard that as good) I don't know if Dell have wrapped their own "skin"
instead.

From what I've seen it's comically large as a phone, maybe it classes
as a pocketable tablet size, I dunno.

There's no such thing as 1.9, maybe it's 1.6?

Thanks for the response. Yes it is quite big. For calling probably not
ideal (I like your expression "comically large") but for surfing it seems
a good alternative. I was wondering whether somebody has used it already
a bit and has discovered some annoyances which you don't notice when you
play around with it in the shop.

Thanks, Georg
