First device launch i have seen that had ZERO posts on XDA.
I guess Dell really messed it up...as it does not look like anyone is interested.
I got mine today and I'm having a blast on it. Looking forward to see what comes about here.
Just ordered one. Will have it in a week hopefully. Lets hope The dev. On this will be good.

I am very interested in it...Trying to see some reviews/opinions on it first before purchasing. What do you guys think so far of it?
I just went and played with one in the store today. I'm purchasing a tablet as soon as my refund comes, and don't want to shell out big bones for a 10 inch. I've decided Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak. I was impressed with the Streak, and with Samsungs update history, I will be getting the Streak. Next week! YES!
I got one after I read all the reviews. I don't think the Streak 7 got a fair shake. I am happy with it. It is fast. It has HSPA+ and wifi tether. I'm not to concerned with battery life. I wish my T-Mo store got more cases for it. All they got in were purple gel skins.
Im stuck I just got the nexus s and I have the streak 5 but streak 7 is fail you can't make normal calls like dell pushed

video review
check this review out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-B6wAs-aPo
I went ahead and got it because I got the subsidized price. It's very fast and works great....viewing angles can be tough at times but aside from that, I am happy with it
I got one but I'm probably returning it tomorrow for a Galaxy Tab. Half the batttery life, worse screen resolution and no phone will make me switch to the Galaxy Tab eventhough it's both older and more expensive.
Anyone care to share if you think there will be ROMs that allows one to use the phone?
Picked my 7 up today. 249.00 - 50.00 credit for telling them I got an email with code STREAK4G and -50.00 rebate = 149.00 = Me Happy.
The resolution is fine for me. I found the Galaxy Tabs web text a little too small for me.
So for all who are interested. Have had mine for 2 days now and I absolutely love it. The battery life doesn't bother me much. Getting about 3 hours of nonstop browsing and game playing. The viewing angle could be better but the way I see it means people sitting near you can't see clearly what your doing. Lol
I am a Tmobile customer and just let me say the 4G on this thing is crazy fast compared to my G2 phone. I love the 4G speed on my phone but the Streak 7 just seems to get a better signal. Could possibly be because the antenna may be larger.
If there are any other questions feel free to ask. I will be more than happy to test something for you.
I am going to hold out on rooting it until I start getting bored with what it can do now.

I picked one up...
I picked up the Streak7 on Tuesday. A previous poster commented on the battery life and I have to concur -- But I think I found the culprit -- It's the Cellular Radio. When it's on, it will drop 18-20% in an hour. I really thought the dual-core CPU would be the issue but it really isn't.
I will say this -- It's fast as hell! I couldn't be happier with the speed for launching apps, scrolling, yada yada. You'd sort of expect that with a dual-core CPU, though, right?
I think that same poster made a comment about the display. I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed. Samsung, I think, I did a better job here. Unfortunately, my Galaxy Tab is on Sprint, doesn't appear to work with Rom Manager and I haven't been able to install a different mod on it yet. *sigh* Oh, how I wish Cyanogen was available for BOTH the GTab and Streak7. Sooo much better than that stock crap they put on there.
I just picked mine up today . One thing I can say its way faster than my vibrant and G2. I just hope I would be abel to put honeycomb on it

I got mine yesterday is cool and fast i love it...............
I'm going to stop by the T-Mobile store today and see how it looks/feels in person before deciding if I want one. Also, I'm going to hold off on any decisions until some honeycomb ports start showing up. Still, it looks very promising from everything I've seen. If I get it though, it will be off contract and I plan on using it on wifi only since I don't live in an HSPA+ area.
Hellzya, Yeah I ordered as soon as I got the email form dell stating they were available. Had been waiting on it I'm pretty excited.

I heard that Virgin Mobile is going to come out with the Optimus V which is going to be priced at $150? Truth?
If so, I may consider it for sure! I really like the series and very good for Android.

I got it on Friday from Target $149.00, activated it and it is great. Great phone a huge upgrade from my Samsung Intercept.
I agree.. Just picked one up yesterday and it blows the intercept out of the water!! What a joke that phone was.. And $100 more? You gotta be joking me Get the LG!
Yeah I just got one from Target. If you don't see one give the DPCI for it because it doesn't show up on the system otherwise.
Very nice and inexpensive. I was thinking about the Intercept before I heard of this because it was $170 at Best Buy. Based on what I read this is the better buy, even for someone like me who NEEDS a physical keyboard. Gotta break out of the comfort zone if you want the bread, eh
I just got mine today. Have the $25 dollar package and love it. Left Cricket's unreliable network where I was using a flashed HTC Eris. Couldn't get 3G no matter what tutorials I followed on this and other forums. I'm really glad I made that change.
I made the switch from an AT&T Captivate. Fed up with paying 130.00+ monthly for bad coverage and a phone that will never see froyo. Porting took less than 2 hours and I have working NAV! I was a little apprehensive about switching to pre-pay, but so far the coverage has been 110% better, and the VM reps are great! I didn't sit on hold even once in the 4 calls I made to them after buying the phone. If you are on the fence about buying this phone, please allow me to nudge you in the right direction!
Just got one at Best Buy last weekend for $129. Great phone. Love the dedicated camera button. Coming from an Evo this things screen is small but the phone is still quick and is the perfect for factor for pocket-ability.
If you guys had 700.00 to spend on a tablet, which would you buy.
PS I rather have a sim HSPA+ compatible.
For what purpose?
Normal usage with a little advanced user (root etc etc)?
or completely crack the core out of it like DJ's dev style?
I am having one for flashing images, (dell-cheaper and powerful underdog which got DJ's blessing), one of in home entertainment - xoom wifi for now(later if transformer is really that good and not looking that ugly, may consider switch to it next week).
"edit": you meant 700.00 USD right? not Pound or Euro? LOL

USD, for surfing/checking emails, playing games. Once it has HC, I probably wont be romming it much. I wat 4g, not wifi only, I dont like the idea that I have to tether, even tho I have a MT4G that I can tether off of.
My options: G-Slate - 429.00 Transformer - 399 no 4g, Samsung 10.1 (Tmobile should be selling this soon), Iconia no 4g 399.00
Thanks

I say just wait for the new galaxy tab to come out. Thinner and lighter than the ipad2 Looks sexier than any other tab (IMO)
I was DEAD Set on the transformer.. I had the xoom and sold that so I could get the transformer.. The one thing I dont like about the transformer is the bezel. Even though it's the same size as the xoom 10.1 with the bezel it makes the transformer almost an inch wider. I jumped on getting the xoom and regretted it.. I wanted to jump on the transformer but now I think I'll hold out until june 8th to get the samsung. Because something tells me if I buy the transformer I will want to sell it for the new galaxy tab when it comes out.. so I might as well wait

In the current on-going tablet war, it is pretty much that if you decide to hold with aforementioned reason, you will hold it forever, with my full due respect.
If you are gadgets fan, just enjoy it and trade it later if budget don't permit buying all. Account it in your budget book as "rental" expense.
I am so sure that by the time of a couple of days ahead of samsung's release, there will be a couple of new tablets promised to hit the market days after that. maybe thinner, maybe new cpu, maybe just so sexy that you may want to wait more ^_^

hahaha no I'm gonna get the samsung for sure I want another tablet NOW but the only only reason why I'm not getting the transformer is the bezel. Have you seen it side by side with a xoom? The xoom was wide enough when in landscape mode and it was perfect for typing.. I think the transformer is going to be harder to type on because of the extra bezel.... That's really the only turn off for me..

So I didnt take my own advice and I ordered the transformer. hahah I got my tracking # already. Although I'm debating selling it on ebay. I heard people are bidding $620 for one..

Ordered a DS7 on 11/17 and was given an EDD for 12/27, I've been on the Dell Forums and a few people have claimed the same as well (Give or take a few days). Some have called Customer Service (My boyfriend has as well and hasn't gotten anywhere with them!), some have Emailed. Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be appreciated.

If you've been on the Dell forums, then did you order it from Dell? If so, the 12/27 is probably because they are waiting on returns from stores since they announced the Streak 7 was discontinued.
Yeah I ordered it from their website on 11/17. They gave the EDD for 12/27 before they were discontinued. But them waiting for returns makes sense. I've also heard QVC sold 30,000 of them and that Best Buy sold a lot on Black Friday. The there's also a rumor in the boards that the the screen and battery life are vein worked on but I'm not holding my breath for that haha
Weirdest thing, went on their site today and my order was canceled then a new order was set up (still the tablet that I wanted) and now it's being shipped and should be here by Monday! I'm excited but at the same time this has been the weirdest online ordering experience I have ever had!

When your new s7 arrives, you should check what rom is preinstalled and report back
I bought my Dell Streak 7 on 11/25 and the estimated delivery was 12/26. Was not happy.
Then a week ago I got a email saying my order was changed. Called Dell, they canceled and re-submitted the order he said and the new delivery date was 1/15.
Was REALLY HOT after that. Went to 5 different people letting them know they ruined my kids Christmas (ok not my kid, but mine!)
I got tired of waiting on the last guy when I called on Thursday and was too busy at work to deal with them and figured the weekend is probably not the best time to rip a new one on someone, so was going to call today. Either I made a impression on someone or they just hurried things up but Fedex dropped off a dell streak at my house this morning. running 3.2.
Thought I'd let you guys know.
Good luck with your orders.
If it was preinstalled, what rom was it exactly? 506 or 507 I presume?
Not sure what number your looking for. I'm used to working with Phones.. My first tablet.
Android version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.3
OEM version GLUNB1A351230
Build Number 20031
I assume you would be looking for the build number.
Mine is a Wifi only version.
Now to get this stock Dell crap off. Looks like garbage compared to my samsung epic 4g. Hate how things are reversed. Status bar on bottom, delete when holding a widget is on top. and Man,, adding a widget.. Thats the worst.
Hope those of you waiting get your streak soon.
Merry Christmas
Well you have a rom that noone else does, would you be willing to make a nandroid or nvflash copy before modifying it?
Just as much if you dont and you break something, you'd be stuck downgrading to an older version.
The easy way is to use clockwork mod and make a nandroid, but that would mean losing the stock recovery.
If you are comfortable with using nvflash that can dump everything safely.
If you can meet on #dellstreak7 on freenode I can walk you though either process
Edit: it's also more or less completely 3.2 stock, there's absolutely nothing noticable changed, if it wasnt for the preinstalled stage widgets it might as well be a stock experience minus the quick updates (3.2.2 has been out for a while and 3.2.4 just released recently)
Got the same specs as mobilemedic

Hello all,
I'm planning to get a new Samsung Focus S off eBay within the next few months. They're selling as low as $350 shipping included so I figured I'd take advantage of the deal.
I currently have an LG Quantum (two of them, actually), which are loaded with apps and interop-unlocked. I can typically get 10-12 hours on a single charge, with moderate messaging and internet usage, email push @ 1 hour, etc.
I'm honestly not satisfied with that and hope this device has either similar or better battery life. What do you guys find your devices get? I'll be purchasing an extra battery with the Focus S by default, as I prefer to always be connected.
Also, is it possible to interop-unlock the Focus S, or is there custom ROMs available for it? Those two things are absolute musts.
And to anyone with a carrier unlocked Focus S, does MMS/picture messaging work?
Thanks.
*removed post*
I just got my S and trust me man, your gonna love it, battery gets me through my school day and sports afterwards returning home with about... 30% battery left? WiFi always on same with "4g". You can interop unlock it FREE by going to windowsbreak http://windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak/ BUT so far no custom roms and I haven't gotten any info on development for 1. If you hear something keep me posted. I was also wondering about it SIM unlocked and if MMS and the likes work because I haven't even put mine on AT&T yet/ at all.
If you want a Focus S, now is the time to look for one. The market is a bit flooded after the "Smoked by Windows Phone" challenge down here, and Ebay US prices are now sub $300. In some cases, well below $300. Something to consider.

Dude that's a steal! Yeah sorry I didn't comment on battery life, yeah that's from 6:30 AM to about 6:00 PM with moderate use, browser, texting, stream/playing music and light gaming. 12 hours with about a quarter fo third battery left. Good LUCK!
Its used, but appears to be in mint condition. I'm hoping to get it within a week. Thanks for the info - maybe I won't need a second battery for it, like I so depressingly do for my LG Quantum

I find that odd, its the best thing Ive ever made a call on. Maybe its denver though, the 4g is quite consistent here, and the 3g comes in spades. There was one point (for maybe 2 hours before a party) that on my OG droid I was hitting 2.6mbps on 3g, when the theoretical limit is 3.1, I was shocked. Now to try some of the "hot" spots Ive found. These are just areas Ive found that make my 4g speeds spike, and where I can consistently get 40-50mbps.
Right off the bat with 2-3 bars I got 25mbps down and 14 up, which is twice what my revo might get (same app + server even). Plus this was in a Denver Verizon store, so you know they show off the 4g to whomever comes in lol.
I certainly wish I could jump ship, but I'm not due an 'upgrade' until february... Unless I can convince big red to push it early due to my phone being a giant pile, I'm stuck with the vibration of death, slow performance, reboots, and screen freezing for another 8 months

Well, if you hate the phone that much might as well just pay the early termination fee and get a new phone. Luckily I have till August might try and get the S3 when it comes out and give myself a birthday present.
Seriously.....dig deep, sell some crap on Craigslist, donate at the plasma bank....whatever. Just bite the bullet, scrape together $400 and buy a RAZR Maxx off of Ebay. Revo is at a dead end. I finally quit b!tching and just replaced the damn doorstop POS. When I went into VZW store to get the micro SIM to activate the RAZR, the staff confirmed the Revo is by far the most hated model in their 4G lineup, and they all hated selling it. Moving on was the smartest thing I've done.

Probably the battery. But I'd take the more development and better specs of the S3 over the better battery.
Well...for people looking to jump ship who have concern about the money, there's about a $250 difference.
Battery life is huge for me, and I've missed that battleship-solid build quality I always had with Motorola. For my $400, it made no sense to suffer with a C-minus phone any longer.
I run rooted stock ICS...so beyond rooting it, I don't need much dev --- although there is quite a lot for the RAZR....far, far more than there will ever be here...for a younger phone. 'nuff said.

The build quality of Motorola phones in my opinion are pretty good since my brother has the Droid X (first one not the X2) and it's decent but I'm going to go to Samsung and give them a chance until more high end Motorola and HTC phones hit Verizon.
Found a great deal! GNex, dual incipio case, 3 anti glare screen protectors, 1 very nicely pre applied, and extended battery for $258. Does everything my revo did and then some, and I haven't even rooted it yet. Wifi tether included.
