For those of you who don't know there is another version of this device call the streak or dell mini 5 witch is a 5inch tablet but it makes normal calls like a normal phone so its a tablet phone now dell pushed this new streak 7 as the same as the streak 5 just a better CPU and 7inch not 5 now how can you say its the same when the one thing that would make it the same is not there a phone???

Streak7 as a phone?
I didn't get the impression it could be used as a phone, either. I know someone hacked the US version(s) of the Galaxy Tab on T-Mobile to get it to work as a phone but not sure if the Streak7 can be made that way.
I, too, would love to use this as a phone since I always use a headset (wired and/or Bluetooth). If it wasn't for the battery life of the Streak7, I'd really want to use it as a phone.
Why would you want to use this to make phone calls? this thing is huge and so is the tab, I would do it just for the sake of doing it but i can imagine having this to my ear for longer than 5 minutes
I'm making calls with my Dell Streak 7 using line 2 app

...and is Bluetooth
Still, it looks nice!
Bluetooth keyboards work with streak just to let you know

Haha I just found out that it will indeed work with streak
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Its a the Rii mini, a chinese manufactured keyboard. Great little gadget and It works great with my Streak. No problems with connection and all keys are working properly. A lot of functions, great battery live ( up to 700 hours). Dongle is a bluetooth device for pc without such a feature. But be careful to order the bluetooth version, because an alternate keyboard with exactly same looks and name is sold as wireless 2.4 Gh version. In my happiness I almost ordered the wrong one. Otherwise good choice.
thanks! I'm hoping to buy this soon....I want to see if it works with worlds hardest game online(it needs arrow keys)

it strikes me with a question:
would anybody know that the PS3 bluetooth keyboard will work..?
Try it, if it works you can tell everyone else
I just had a notification on my streak 7 that a dell software update was available. Though when I opened it up it said the same no updates...
Same here, message comes up every time you reboot it... just started today.
Me too Wonder what's up.
Whatever it is, it won't be anything major. Honeycomb won't come until at least July according to Dell's "roadmap".
i think we can all agree that even if it is only a release to increase stability, it will be welcomed gratefully.

I am so happy to see this post here as I was suspecting my system giving me more **** by flagging false update notice EVERYTIME i reboot the phone...
I just uninstalled the bloatware AccuWeather last night, so I thought it was because of that...
anyways,
whatever updates from dell should be welcomed, I guess.
I dont get this message?
Sent from my Dell Streak 7
Called their tech support.

What ever was causing it seems to be gone now- I don't get the message when I reboot now.
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using XDA App
Yes, I have Steve's updates and I got the notification. It seems to have stopped now.
maybe dell was doing a mass 'testing' of the devices on the field and an update is in the near future? :-s
I justed dropped my Dell 7 and damaged the back case, has anyone found a place to order replacment part and installed it themself ?
Thanks
I think for now you have no one but Dell, maybe the limited warranty will cover? Good luck.

An idea I've been kicking around for a couple months now. I finally accepted that I won't ever own a computer or laptop. I despise my Note 2, the only thing keeping me on it is LTE, obviously the 7 lacks. But a larger screen is something I keep wanting more and more. The only other problem is the worrying dependency on GV in order to make it work.
Very nice article.
I don't think the Nexus 7 will fit in my pockets, and also, Google Voice isn't free in my country and isn't really supported, so I prefer my regular Galaxy Ace for the outside, and the Nexus 7 for the inside .
I use mine as a wifi phone with the groove IP app, when my phone goes dead.

Is there any way to enable the call button in the maps?

The nexus 10 and the 7 are complete different products to me.
The 7 is actually fits in my pockets and is a portable device. The ten inch tabs don't.
Also 10 inch app support still flat out sucks on android on top of that. A 7 inch tablet you can actually get away with a phone app on it. Even apps that are optimized for the 7 often have a different layout than the larger 10 inch.
I used to bluetooth tether to my 7 and use it basically in place of my phone when I had it with me.
Depends on what you want. The 7 may be to close to a phone for some and so on.
I'll be getting the nexus 7. I've been waiting, and I can finally buy it!
