I really liked it as a phone but towards the end of using it, after updating it, the phone began to crash a lot and the keyboard would type random letters. Also, it would never let me update to gingerbread so I was stuck with froyo.
It's the best phone i have ever had, I loved it.
Only thing i didn't like is it's poor graphics performance, It is powered by Adreno 200.
Otherwise it's a good multitasking capability device, for It's 1Ghz processor, it gave really performed well.
If you need a smartphone and a tablet at the same time but with budget that only allow you buy 1 device. Dell Streak 5 is the best choice!!!! Although it have a big screen, it can still enter my pocket easily! :)
I still cannot find an phone that can totally replace Dell Streak 5.
I recieved this phone a few months ago as a replacement to an aging moto z9, and to say the least it is the best choice i have made!!! I owned an iphone too for a few months and completely hated it!!! Androids ui is so customizable and easy to learn as well. the only draw back is the os opening apps in background but ATK takes care of that and Juice Defender has more than tripled my battery life!!!
I love the looks i get when i pull it out and everyone who uses it is amazed and wants to steal it from me! My first one was a lemon and didn't like to charge however I got a warranty replacement easily and have had no problems since!!!
I had this phone for a while and 2 weeks after purchasing i rooted it and put Streakdroid on it. Im now on 1.9.0 and i love Froyo. This phone is the best phone i have ever owned and i don't think i will be able to use another phone with a smaller screen again unless it is extraordinary amazing!
i really like it this phone i dont know why , i think ,s the big screen (5 inches) i really want it , has android 2.2 now found that information in dell.com it,s a great device ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................i want it
dont settle thinking money could buy you a better phone or a small screen size is fine with me...
the difference comes to realization....... as much as you have it when you go and watch movies in a theater rather than watching it at home
its a phenomenal
GREAT mini tablet cannot wait for the android updates though. Will be a phone to be reckoned with by top dogs like Droid X, Fascinate, Galaxy Tab, Nexus S etc.
Dell constumer service can be a bit evasive as to when we will get the 2.2 or the 2.3 updates. The device should have never been released with 1.6.
