Dell Streak 7 worth $100?

I am on the market for a good tablet, is the dell streak 7 a pretty solid device? I owned a dell streak 5 previously and it had lots of issues with random reboots and such, even on the stock ROM.

For $100 definitely if it's in fair or better condition,
heck I'm willing to buy another for $100 for that to give to my parents.

OK, I just was wondering. My co-worker has 2 of them he must sell due to his divorce. So I will just buy both and use one for DEV and the other for daily use.

A buddy of mine had one he wanted to get rid of the other day. I picked it up for 100 and gave it to my 6 year old for his birthday. He's been happy with it so far.
Running stock HC on it. It does really well with most games, better than any of my phones. The battery life on it has been not the best. Had it less than a week now but I would gladly buy it again for 100.
Some of the quad core tablets announced at ces starting at 250 look a lot better though.

Lol I picked up one for my kids and I really like it too. I put stock Honeycomb on it and I have no regrets.

Given the opertunity to buy a DS7 for $100.00USD yes I would buy if I knew it was in reasonable condition and was functionable. Iam very pleased with my DS7 and since I have another complete otterbox defender case (which was a freebee) collecting dust right now, it's a no brainer, I'd jump on it.

i just paid 150 for mine so id do it if i was you lol

Soon to be former HTC Flyer owner here. I just ordered my 16GB Nexus 7 today. I had just paid $200 for my Flyer in February, and to be honest it was a great tablet hardware wise but ruined by lackluster support by HTC. It hit EOL status way too soon, and got cut off from support at honeycomb. I spent the last month debating whether or not to keep it or cut my losses and get a Nexus 7 and Finally Monday I decided I'm not happy with the Flyer, it didn't live up to my expectations, so on Ebay it went. Haven't sold it yet, but decided to go ahead and charge the Nexus 7 before they sell out again.
Very excited and looking forward to receiving it! BTW how long does it take for google to process and ship the order?

i ordered my nexus late afternoon on monday, and it is suppose to arrive tomorrow according to the trackingt number from UPS. So i am gonna guess 3-4 days.

I saw 2 day shipping but it seem most people don't get it in 2, usually a week. Why is Google lieing about their shipping?
Honestly I'm ready to just get it I would of paid for higher shipping if I could

2 day shipping means that the actual shipping takes 2 days - they can still take a long time to process it.

Seriously??????????
How on earth has Google lied about 2 day shipping?
I assume that you have ordered online before and are aware that means delivery is 2 days from when it is shipped and not 2 days from when you click the order button...
If you have never ordered anything online before then please excuse my sarcasm....

?? There is a difference between when you Order it and when they ship it. When they ship it, it is 2 day business delivery. It may however take more than 2 days before the ship the unit from your order.
I think they did great. When I ordered it July 19th, the order page said ETA 3-4 WEEKS.... They shipped it 6 days later, and it arrived within 2 business days of the shipping date.
The only people who seem to have had issues with shipping had...
o Problems with Customs, not much Google can do about that
o Shipping issues with UPS, again, it is out of their hands once they hand it off.
From what I've seen, Google has refunded shipping costs when this happened which is just about all they can do.
They are not "lieing" .... and are not lying either.

Woa....
Sorry didn't mean to get everyone riled up. Just don't quite understand what 2 day shipping means from Google. I've been ordering stuff online for over 10 years. Just sayin 2 day shipping from say newegg would mean ordering yesterday would get me my stuff by Friday.
But from what I've seen it sounds like the 2 day shipping is actually 3 to 5 days so no that doesn't make much sense.
Sounds like they just aren't providing all the details like processing time etc. Sorry I just hate waiting on shipping! I have planned on buying it from a store until I read about the warranty.
Sent from my De-Sensed HTC Vivid using Tapatalk 2

that's because they ship same day. 2day shipping only applies to the time it spends in transit by a carrier. Processing and handling time is a different story. if you order say, a custom computer from dell, you can get 3-5 days shipping but it takes them a week to build it. so the system will arrive to its destination a week + 3-5 days.
tldr: shipping time =/= ETA. Handling & processing is not calculated in shipping time.
EDIT: you also have to consider the terms and conditions of the shipping service. most of them are business days only and some are based purely on time spent in transit regardless of it being a business day or not.

When it's here I won't care. Sorry didn't want to start off my first official post with the community on a bad note. Trust me I know Google is a Web product company not a physical product company so things might take longer and shipping is going to cost more than say amazon who ships out millions of products every day. And the petition for the. $14 shipping charge is just lunacy! I went through the play store because the warranty service is better and you get a $25 Google play credit. I'm sure the wait and the shipping charges will be worth it over buying it directly from a retailer.
Google is my favorite company, and this will be my 4th android device, love the os. Sorry again if I offended

My Nexus shipped and yes its really 2 day shipping. They shipped it early this morning I imagine I'll have it come Monday. Looking forward to it, my flyer is all packed up for when someone finally decides to buy it so I'm missing having a tablet atm.

With the flyer was it not getting updates that you weren't happy about, or problems that didn't get fixed before end of life, or just general performance? Was your flyer rooted?
I'm just curious, I haven't had one yet and wont buy one that old but would love to get a nice sense 4 quad core tablet from HTC to go along with my nexus 7
You will LOVE the Nexus 7 I'm sure. It's an amazing device.

Ordered mine on Monday morning. Two day shipping. I'm getting it today. Just checked tracking info and its out for delivery. So pretty quick. I'm happy with the process.
SeNt FrOm A nOcTuRnAl'D one X!

I was using a Galaxy Tab 10.1 before I ordered the Nexus 7. I like the 7 inch size better. Gave the 10.1 to my wife she's using that now instead of her laptop.

Yeah lack of support. I wanted a nice tablet and didn't want to pay a mint. I was actually looking at a Anol novo 7 Chinese tablet with ics on it but I found this flyer refurbished for 200 and figured with Htc I'd get better support. Unfortunately the updated to honeycomb which made it a bit laggy, and web browsing sucked on it. Even Google hates honeycomb as you can't get chrome for it. It's like an ics beta, and in may htc decided all their tablets would stay on honeycomb. Hardware and build quality wise it was awesome but I was mulling over the nexus ever since I got it. We got a good ics rom in the works, borrowing drivers from the one v and desire HD but it has ways to go and overall I finally decided not happy with the flyer, and I really want a nexus, so I went with my heart!
And the 2 day shipping is no lie, getting it tommorrow! Very excited. Im loosing some features like mhl: never used it, rear camera: pretty useless just a toy on a tablet and the flyers camera was pretty grainy anyway, sd slot in which I found just didn't need one. I eventually put one in but only for cwm purposes, selling it with the flyer as a deal sweetner. And vibrate too, but I eventually turned it off on the flyer as it just wasn't needed, it just drained the battery more. So that stuff the nexus is missing is not important to me
And who wouldn't want a chance to play with jelly bean now instead of hoping your phone might get it after key lime pie comes out? Very excited!

I'm just guessing that you're going to be very surprised and impressed with the power the N7 has. This thing packs a punch!

Yeah I'm stoked! I watched a video view and it literally looks lag free completely, something I've always yearned for with android. Finally might have a tablet that can truly be a laptop replacement!

That is crazy! I just bought mine used last week or $200. What a great deal. Of course, I probably would have ended up missing this deal anyway, but still.

Im tempted to jump on this....how is the battery life? Is it really less than a day?

If I don't use live wallpaper, I can unplug the watch at 7am and by the time I head to bed at 11pm I still have 50% charge left with normal use. (I'm using Null ROM).

Woot, just bought the orange one...... heard the white gets dirty quick with no known way to clean.

I took the shot. For $150, I think it's worth it. Orange is what I went with. Hope it's not gross. They were out of the white locally (within 100 miles) after lunch, but had at least one before lunch.
Now... Guess I'll read up on it eh. LOL! :good:

Just for online shipping ?

No, I think you can buy them in store for $149 also, if they have them in stock.

Went to a local Best Buy today and they were completely sold out by Noon (PST). Time to check eBay!

Lol, I traded in my black. Got an oatmeal beige. Open box (unsold before, still all protectors on ) for $130. Tempted to ebay or craigslist it, I got it for so cheap. Only downside, battery was at 0.
Getting 125 bucks back is a win.

I picked up the Grey (Mocha) one at BB tonight. They said it wasn't on sale, only certain colors were, but they gave it to me for $150 anyways.
Love it so far, flashing Null right now.

Shame uk can't get at this price

In France, 199€-105€ of cashback= 94€

Returned my pebble for a lime-yellow gg. It was an open item so they sold it to me for $100. Best buy ended up crediting my account for the difference. Payed to upgrade.

Already have a black gear but bought 2 rose gold. Awesome deal indeed.

Bought the rose gold. All my friends asked why I didn't get the pebble. Im a chic the pebble doesn't come in anything remotely fashionable.

No, it was the deal of the day and sold out within hours. My wife ended up getting me the last one in the store. Rose gold but it looks copper.:good:

Can this Nexus 6 still be found for the $299 deal brand new ?

Looks like I took to long to pick up a 32GB Could White Nexus 6 for the reduced $299 price.
Is that deal still around anywhere ? I can't seem to find a "brand new" Cloud White for $299 anywhere in the U.S.

Its not white but it's a great deal

Thanks, but I am really set on the white color.

Wish I saw that deal. I just picked up a refurb for $269.. Would have been worth the extra $30 for new. Oh well

Oh well, I guess no White Nexus 6 for $299 anymore, my loss for waiting.

it will pop up again like he said mate, at first i was going to fetch it off eBay for 299$ it was a white one, but i wanted the midnight blue, and i didnt want to wait until they have the Midnight version back in stock again and i had thoughts that they could sell me a refurbished one,
so i just went on ahead and bought my midnight blue off amazon for 349$, and my bad luck i am now dealing with a defected screen , its not that bad , but it is annoying.
good luck with your purchase , you wont regret buying this beast.
( looking at your history of phones LOL i assume you already own one? and you know it is a beast of a phone, sorry it could be that your buying it for someone else, anyway good luck! )

If you don't want to wait Amazon has 32GB for $349 and 64GB for $399. That's where I got mine.
If 64GB interests you, they have the warehouse deal for $339 again, which is how I got mine. The one I received was an open box, but the device was mint condition. Sprint had some trouble activating it so Amazon swapped it for a new one at the same price, no hassles.

Just got a 32 gb off of eBay when Android police posted the deal alert I was contemplating a nexus 5x bit I couldn't pass up on the deal and I'm very happy with my nexus 6 from what I can tell it's way more premium feeling then the 5x I can live without a fingerprint scanner I just got rid of my 6 plus.

These are brand-new (at least mine was), in an unopened box.
Edit: Expansys is an outfit in Bloomington, IN. I didn't really have any issues with them, but I had ordered the Nexus 6 along with a turbo car charger and a Poetic case which were not immediately available. So they hung on to the Nexus 6 (which was available) for a whole week in order to be able to complete-ship the order. For part-shipments they are asking for $5. I got on the phone with them and read them the riot act about delaying the Nexus 6 shipment for $5. So they waived the $5 and shipped the Nexus 6 and I received the case and the car charger two weeks later. It's all good. Love the N6.

I was in between the Pixel Slate and the Microsoft Surface...in the end I went for the Pixel Slate because I already have a Microsoft Surface at work. The Pixel Slate form factor is more portable, it's more versatile with Android apps and Linux. The device itself is built very well, battery lasts a long time and the speakers have good quality sound for watching movies.
I got it at launch, so the software was a little temperamental back then but Google has ironed out a lot of the issues and it's now fairly stable, even in the Beta Channel.

Mine sold on eBay for £139 making my 128Mb 4XL final cost a bit over £800. As someone who'd been buying Oneplus phones since the One, £800 is still too much. Nice phone though.
