Ooh, I was not allowed to post dell link here. Just search for "Dell News from CES: Streak 7 Tablet, Venue Smartphone, Enhanced Dell Stage and More" to get to the link and pictures.
Do you know whether it uses the same 30-pin PDMI cable that the Streak 5 uses?

From all the pictures and videos I've seen, it looks like it's the same connector.
this is actually bad news for Dell Streak 5 users... It's like Dell is going to focus on its new products and not gonna work on updates for Streak 5 very much....
Dammit LOL. I'm using my Streak for T-MOBILE and as u know I can only get Edge speeds on it. I shoulda waited lol.

Too bad they left out the phone capability, I would have added a T-mobile account to my aresenal...lol
I wonder if it will get Honeycomb, and we can then port it over to the Streak 5 (aka: the original).
If it is marketed as a true tablet, then it might get a true tablet optimized experience, which might enhance the original Streak 5 experience, too.
I have had an overall good experience with the Streak 7 so far. Excellent speeds when in 4g coverage. Tethering is working well with googles app, but the internal (non-root) tethering function did not seem to work for me (maybe because it's rooted?).
I do not game so I cannot advise on that experience. The only thing that I really don't like is the button setup. It's designed for holding the tab in landscape mode, but when you switch to portrait, the buttons are at the bottom making it difficult to access them.
I'm witholding final judgement until I see Honeycomb running on it.
Dell Stage widgets are pretty much worthless. They are basically a meager attempt to make a phone os look better on a tab. The first thing I did was to move them to the trash.
Here is how I have mine set up:

Copy and paste in browser if your interested in checking them out.
no desire with a tab that has 2.2, personally.
How will this thing run Honeycomb..Just got off the phone with Dell & they're saying even when Honeycomb comes out that it will be awhile before this tablet gets it...Wtf !!!!
Is there any other way to get it..forgive me if there is a way i don't know about...otherwise this thing is going back even though i love it

IMHO, DJ_Steve's HoneyComb on Streak 7 may be earlier than Dell's. And better than Dell's
Well i hope so because it sucks that the Xoom is coming out with Honeycomb later this week & the "world's first 4g Tablet" can't even get Honeycomb when it comes out..argh! starting to like the Xoom..& i'll probaly be there for the pre order if something doesn't give..!!
Worst case scenario...we get an unofficial 3.0 Rom from our kick ass developers here at XDA. Trust me...we'll have Honeycomb.

Not really much better than the Dell Streak 5
The Dell streak 7 is not that much better than the Dell Streak 5. It has a slightly larger screen (5 in. vs. 7 in.) Comes with Android 2.2, (Dell streak 5 also does, but this was an update). It doesn't have a faster processor or even 4g. You might as well consider a Xoom or waiting for another tablet.
I'm confused as to ur comment. The streak 7 has a tegra2. And 4g. Did u mean that's the only difference from the streak7. And I would wait for a xoom but I'm not a fan of the 10" form factor
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
The 7in tabs just seem like big phones. I'd rather have a 10in model.
does this one have phone capability too?
I generally don't go by reviews from the likes of Gizmodo but given a low resolution screen coupled with poor viewing angles is enough to make it a "no buy" for me.
Played with the Dell Streak 7 today along side a Galaxy Tab.
Aside from Asphalt 5 looking better on the tab, I liked the Streak for everything else over the tab.
So gamers might want the Tab but for other stuff I would go with the Streak hands down.

Highriser doesn't know what he's talking about as both the statements about what it doesn't have are wrong.
I'm not a fan of gizmodo or engadgets reviews either. Seem to apple biased to me and care way to much about small details. But that aside the only major concern I have is the batterylife. It seems pretty awful and was wondering what the chances are of a extended battery maybe 4000-5000 coming out soon. And whay about root?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Dell has an extended battery for the Streak 5,so one could infer that the same will be provided for the 7".... and click the developers forum for the Streak 7.... it's already been rooted, instructions are given there.
Check out the Digital Digest review on Youtube... unbiased and positive.
Didn't read gizmodo's cus they are ridiculous... and got pissed at the Engadget review because they shoot things down over trivial items such as "veiwing angles" which IMHO aren't even a factor for me when deciding to buy a device.
I have the Streak 5 because I want a tablet with phone... I tried the Galaxy Tab... nice, but no 3G Tmo phone access and too many hurdles involved in getting the phone working...
If the Streak 7 comes out with Tmo 3G access, might consider it. But I have to say I LOVE the Streak 5... perfect blend of portability and function to me.

The Streak 7 does not have a removable battery like the 5 does.
On a positive note, Here is a decent review for a change.
http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Dell-Streak-7-Android-Tablet-HandsOn-Preview/Default.aspx
I own a Streak 5, Streak 7, and a Viewsonic G-Tablet.
Facts about the Streak 7"
1-This DOES have the Nvidia Tegra dual core
2-Only has 256MB RAM
3-Battery life is poor (around 3 hours of regular useage (browsing, etc)
4-This unit is very fast
5-Display is good, but only 800x480
6-Evcellent g-sensor and accellerometer response
7-4G, I tested in a 4G area, and DL was 6.4Mb/sec, UL was about 1.4Mb/sec
Overall, I really like the unit, but am waiting for the LG G-Slate
I think the display is fine. Its actually the same ppi as the ipad and I have never heard anyone cry about the screen on that device.

Not sure why you quoted me. I simply corrected your statement. But since you mentioned it. One persons good enough may not be the same as anothers. I like my streak 7 but it may not be everyones cup of tea. Plus its 200 with a 2 year contract of 39.99/month. That does make a huge difference.

I only paid $150.00 for mine and I have the $24.99 plan with a 15% military discount. Its not a bad deal compared to what the LG is going to cost.

Oh alright got scared for androids future for a second there
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I recently picked up a Dell Streak 7 tablet from T-Mobile. After unboxing
and setting up, I familiarized myself with it (with Dell's "Stage" launcher).
I found the experience "ok", but knowing that the Streak 7 is a Nvidia Tegra2
device I thought to myself, "can I get root access so I can do some 'cleanup'"?
After reading around the net and in the xda-developer forums (not a whole lot of
tweaking info for the 7 yet - special thanks to Jenn Lee over at streaksmart though)
I was able to find out information about rooting the Streak 7 and have done such.
I got rid of all the "free" demo apps except for the T-Mobile specific things like
My Account, My Device and Hotspots. I paid special attention to getting rid of the
Dell Stage stuff (launcher and widgets) because quite frankly I didn't care for them.
Replaced the launcher with LauncherPro (I bought the full version). Just doing that
bit of clean up (still trying to decide on a good task/memory manager tho since we're
running Android 2.2) yielded some very impressive interface interactivity improvements.
The touch screen is a dream to use, everything in the UI is effortless. I guess that's
the Tegra2 helping out. Now as for T-Mobile's network connection (which i'm not going
to call 4G, because it's not) the HSPA+ definitely helps. I can get HSPA+ in the places
I am at (home, work etc.) and it does make a difference. It seems I get better reception
with the Streak 7 than I do with my main phone, the Nexus One.
I guess I just wanted to write this to say that I am quite pleased with the Streak 7 and
look forward to what develops that can be used on it to enhance the user experience.
Oh, one more thing, I installed ROM Manager on it just to see what it would do, I just did
a test run of Clockwork Mod to see if I would get anything back detected device-wise and
it returned "Advent Vega" as the model. I know the Advent Vega's are Android tablets sold
in Europe. Any chance the Streak 7 and Advent Vega are related? (I know the Vega has a
bigger screen than the Streak)
Very nice. I believe ill wait to do some "cleanup" until we can get some kind of recovery. I to rooted and unistalled a few of tmobiles bloat. I too am looking forward to development. I hope its atleast like the streak 5 with a recovery and a few options of roms.
The only flaws i see is battery and when plugged into a usb port on pc it doesnt have a charge option. Which i suppose ill be getting a dock for that reason. Heres too hoping for some good developing.
sent from my re-engineered dInc
Silly question, now that my streak 7 is working I rooted it and did some app removal. Is there a way to "unroot" it and take it back to stock minus the apps I uninstalled?
By the way, I love this little thing. The touch screen is excellent and game console emulators run fabulous on it. The screen resolution doesn't seem to bother me at all when using it. The viewing angle is fine when it's in my face and I'm using it. The 7 inch screen is just right for reading comics/manga, being close to normal manga book size. And Crunchroll's Viewer app plays anime and tv shows great. Im happy as a pig in poop.
Like Hellzya, I'll be getting a dock next week though cause of the charging issue with usb ports.
And the battery bites ass, but that's the way it goes. Maybe someone will release an expanded battery and a tool to take this thing apart to get to it.
I used Superone click 1.6.5 to unroot it and take it back to stock. At first it didn't work after reboot of dell Streak 7 and reboot PC (windows 7 64bit) it worked like a charm
Bought the Streak 5 last year. It is the unlocked give-away one so I have NO SUPPORT but haven't needed it so far. I was first to get the upgrade to 2.2 but now I am on my own ..
I am a T-Mobile customer and have been trying to decide [since I am due an upgrade] whether to go with the Streak 7 or the Galaxy Tab .. Streak 4G, Galaxy Tab 3G. Either one will seem lightning fast compared to what I have with the Streak 5 ..
2 other things that I have in the back of my mind are: Is there something else out there that will work on T-Mobiles 3G or 4G network? I sure do like those Chinese iPad look-alikes ....
I have been a gadget-a-holic for years and years. I still can't part with my HTC Shift. as time goes on, rather than getting smarter, I get ummm, LESS SMART. Maybe it is because there are too many gadgets to choose from and they are coming out so fast or maybe I am getting senile ??

OH YEAH !!! nice but ... I don't want larger than 7 inch. I have the iPad and it doesn't drop into my purse the way my Streak 5 or my son's Galaxy 7 inch tablet does.
I say go for it. It's fast, stable, and the right size. The only gripe I have with mine is the battery life and using airplane mode when I don't need tje radio and running wfi knly has helped with that bunches.
And, as a previous owner of one of the cheap chinese tablets, I can say that this tablet is one of the best ones I have ever used. If you want a tablet with 4G, this is the one you're looking for. The battery life does not compare well with some of the other tablets, but as long as you are not watching video 24/7, it should suit your needs. I am a fan of the seven inch form factor as well.

Do you use the phone capabilities on your Streak 5? They're not present with the Streak 7. Although you can get Sipdroid working, it's not as nice as a built-in phone.
Are you paying for a real data plan already? If you're prepaid, you'll have to pony up for the weekly or monthly data plans.
It's a very solid device. Very fast. Not as portable as the 5, but if you're carrying a purse, probably not an issue. Viewing angles are not fantastic.

At first I thought a 7 inch tablet would be too small and I really wanted a 10 inch. I ordered the streak 7 just because I was itching to get a tablet and I had a credit line with dell so I made the plunge. After having it and using it I realized that 7 inches is perfect! It's easy to use with one hand, it fits in my back jeans pocket (not so much after I put the otterbox commuter case on it but I can still get it in the back pocket of some of my jeans)
I know dell is coming out with a 10 inch tablet in April.. I might have to pick one of them up too hehe I'm telling you having a $6000+ credit limit with dell is VERY dangerous! hahaha
I have Dell Streak , and thinking of getting a Note, any of you guys had a Streak 5 before ? so can tell me what do I get for the money in terms of usability, battery performance, connectivity , development etcetc
Thank you

Go for it friend, i had a streak and eventually broke the screen, still looking for another streak for spare parts, but compared, the streak cant match the note, it clocks 4000 on Quadrant just on a standard rom with no tweaks, the amount of roms and customisation options are far better than the streaks.
Battery life is great, i tether mine and its fast, i get download speeds in excess of 900kbps tethered, i use it as my main phone, play games, and i still get 2 days out of it heavy usage.
Its so smooooootttthhhhhh compared to the streaks clumsy browsing, and definitley more powerful memory wise, god ive got tons of apps installed and no need to use memory optomisers at all, even with everything running im still showing 400mb+ showing, if i task kill em it gets up to 600mb+, youll never get that on a streak lol.
I was dubious, samsung, picking up where dell left of, hmmmmm, but i went for it and no regrets, and i got a brilliant passport style free leather case with it that i didnt even ask for, im sold, bye bye dell.
And if none of that sells it, then the one thing that should is, ICS, were getting ics in the uk, ota update, starting january, and lets face it, Youre always gonna be up to date with samsung, Dell oughta be ashamed of themselves the way they abandoned streak owners.
There are many many users here who has come from streak.

I came to the Note from the Streak. The Note is everything the rumored Streak replacement, the Opus One, was going to be. The Note has it all over the Streak - better screen, much thinner, better RF reception, Gingerbread out of the box, and ICS already confirmed.
I'll never buy another Dell product after Dell's utter ineptness and ridiculous delays in getting Froyo out and then completely abandoning the Streak thereafter.

See you at the other side.
Came from the streak. Everything about the note is better.
Tried about all the custom rom for the streak but stability and performance was still a big issue.
No more complaint after I changed to the note and I'm still on stock firmware.
Thank you very much guys !!!
I do have a clear picture in my mine now , see you soon-ish here.
