I have a Dell Streak 5. I even have an extra one because of a shipping mix up. I have I think the latest factory rom with super user installed and clockwork recovery. Is this it for the Dell Streak 5? Anything else on the horizon? Or is it just an old phone waiting to die. Should I be exicited about the the new phones with 4G LTE or just be content with my 3G Unlimited and Dell Streak 5 until both break?

I plan to use mine till the next Nexus device in 2012.
sell it as quickly as you can, the dell streak is a ticking time bomb
Keeper for at least another year
I got my unlocked, unbranded Streak 5 last April direct from Dell and am loving it on my still unlimited 3G on AT&T. It is my primary business do-everything phablet. If I had a second one, I would start playing with ROMs.
I'll be happy here until the price points on LTE comes down to acceptable range and wider coverage - maybe this time next year. I would love an LTE/GSM unlocked and unbranded with a similar form factor.
My 1.45 cents (after taxes).

Edit: It was dead and now it's alive again!
I've contacted dell and they say streak 5 is no more. That's why there's a sale here last month.
Quick answer: Dead
helf dead.....i'm only use it as a GPS now
Dead... since the first day it's in the world...
I contacted Dell and they say it's only dead if you believe it is.
i just got one.. so its not dead for me....
gingerbread 2.3.3 (407) installed and tweaked and running pretty good so far.
i dont expect it to be my go to device but it rocks as a your a dirty girl/not getting my real number phone.. and is fantastic as a GPS and PDA for my truck.
just need to do the research and find what is the most stable ROM, yet updated reasonably.
Would have said the Dell Streak was kinda fading away until CM7 came out (see other topic in this section) - now I have that installed its back to being very much alive! If your using the buggy 407 make the effort to get to CM7 - it's not that hard and it is so worth it.
Dell Streak rockin all over again!
So is it officially dead?

Like Nissan with the beloved Datsun 240Z, Dell will start buying up all the broken and bricked streaks. They will then refurbish them with original parts, flash them all with donut 1.6 and put them to market at a premium and the oleskool collectors will snap them up and store them in vacuum sealed glass case displays.
Well everyone I really like the idea of the Galaxy Note and maybe even the Galaxy Note 2 but you know what I am kinda over the whole phone tablet big screen craze. I think I care more about phone quality, reliability, and speed more than anything. I think I am going to consider the Galaxy Nexus or the Galaxy S III and call it a day.

I never believed in that phone / tablet hype. Any phone bigger than 5 inch is just not even practical, for me that is. It's probably the best for mobile browsing and reading some stuff on the net when I'm on the go but that's it. It can't and will never act like a tablet for my purpose, for that I need a minimum of 9" and therefore it will always be a phone and organizing tool to me.
As for the nexus or s3, I suggest to wait a bit longer and you will probably have a much better (faster/prettier/more capable) device.
Dead. They stopped making it. Only refurbs. I do have one new in the box unopened though.

Alive... But reborn as....
The galaxy note is about the exact same size.just newer tech and a much better support from the manufacture for developers.
The Dell streak, it's dead.but I still love it as a book reader and house wifi device.

Streak > Nexus One, unless the Nexus One gets updated to a five-inch screen somehow.
From most of the reviews and the ppl here the Streak > N1 just due to battery life. The n1 no matter which rom I use or what kernal I put on there the battery life just sux. Oh and it doesn't have a 5 inch screen.
Currently I'm selling (trying) sell my N1 over criagslist in preperation for the Streak or if it doesn't come out for TMO, the HTC Vision in sept.
I wish Bigger screen always meant better screen .. I have both desire & streak now & colour & contrast is way better on desire... Streak's screen looks washed out & pixalated
My Desire is good and I think only the screen is going to be a let down on the Streak I am getting, everything else seems better.

You are right .. everthing else IS better but screen (although bigger) is not .. such a shame
I was reading about the supposed HD3 with a 4.5" AMOLED screen and it was written off saying that the manufacturing costs of such a large screen would make it unlikely so I reckon we're unlikely to see a better screen in the 5" size anytime soon, that said I'v seen no issues with the screen when playing with the Streak in the shops.
i have tested this out with my friends nexus one and ive got to be honest, the only real difference i noticed was the N1s screen is slightly brighter. video looks completely the same apart from the streak handling blacks better than the N1

In the U.S. the Nexus One has a MUCH better carrier option in T-mobile.
Dell Streak Att Smartphone Plan:
- $65/mo
- 450 min
- 2 GB of data
Nexus One T-mobile Even More Plus Plan:
- $50/mo (contract free)
- 500 min
- 5 GB of data
If Dell comes out with a T-mobile 3g version I will buy it in a instant. But if I am a slave to Att then I will have to pass...
I stick to PAYG...GIFFGAFF works on o2 locked phones too I believe..NO contract just top up 17:50 (normally 35) for unlimited minutes and texts and net. What more could you ask for?
Unlimited or 500-750mb?
@ap3604 - You guys get 5GB data allowance! Every telco in the UK has just put theirs down to 0.5-0.75 GB
ive always been confused by US cell phone pricing plans. is your plan determined by the phone you have? thats a really odd system if so
Well its been 11months of fun but my Streaking days are up!!!
My device is still working perfectly, even though I have a small crack in the Gorilla glass from my 9 month old baby and her newly appeared teeth!!!
I was due an upgrade so have moved over to the Samsung Galaxy S2 - with the specs of the phone, I can't go wrong here, though I will miss the size of the Steaks screen especially when watching any type of video!!!
what would everyone recommend I do with my Streak and the accessories I have for it???
As far as I can see I have three options
1. Keep my Streak, car kit and cases and use for Sat nav in the car.
2. Sell phone to a website that recycles old phones (£80) and then sell accessories on ebay.
3. Sell the whole lot on ebay as a package, clearly stating that the screen has a small crack, and see what I can get for it.
What would people here suggest I do???
thanks in advance

Put it on ebay. You may get over 250.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Keep the Streak in your car as your Sat Nav option while you have it listed on a free site (Craigslist or similar) to see if you can get $$$ out of it. If you can't get at least the $80 you could get from the recycler, go that route.
Good luck!
However my streak is bricked, I will never ever leave it. . My friend has finished JTAG and the streak is working but not recognizing the SIM. In this case, I will use as SAT Nav and media player . I will never ever leave it.
Streak out someone else
Dude, sell it on eBay and mention the faults. Com'on, it's only fair you let another man know of the joys of owning,holding and using a streak. It's something EVERYMAN should experience no matter what! LoL. I am glad I move over from my iPhone 4 to the MIGHTY DELL STREAK. It's pure romance.
I promise I am not a dell sales rep!

My latest discovery of tTorrent pro and transdroid has sent me to love this device even more. Its like my little personal computer... A downloading machine. While having an Unlimited plan and being already over 50gb its kinda of fun. I mean wherever I go I can locate anything I need atm.
Ofcourse the big screen for the latest movies via MX Player or Mobi Player is really great with the large screen.
Tethering via Portable Hot spot is awesome...
Amazon mp3, kindle, shopping and a free app every day ...
Emulaters and Games nice and big is always nice...
Sirus XM Radio ...
Color Note for all my basic note needs ...
I mean what am I going to do when my Streak breaks and I can no longer get another one? Also I wonder if one day I will have to upgrade to 4g LTE and my 3g Unlimited Data plan will not bridge over to or turn into 4g LTE Unlimited Data plan. What if I just buy a 4g LTE device and pop my SIM card in it I wonder if that would work. I have Unlimited Smartphone plan not a specific speed plan.
Well Anyways hope you had fun reading my posts or any other of my posts. Tell me why you like your Dell Streak ...
Last note though I do agree with a lot of members here that the dell streak should have continued because like they said I get the same exact thing to this day. What kind of phone is that? WoW that is nice and big also sleek. I really think if Dell positioned it better and opened it to more carriers it would be a much more success.
Best,
Streaking With My Streak ...

I love my streak! its the best phone I've ever used, for personal use...
It's snappy! Currently, I use a motorola atrix for my work phone... only because my dell streak does not meet the security standards for my corporate email, but that is the only reason. I think my Streak is just as snappy as my Atrix, and given the larger screen size.. It's fantastic!
I even went as far as to buy two additional streaks, for if and when I break the one I'm using.
Thank goodness for DJ Steve's GB build! I'm crazy excited to see what he can do with ICS!
I own a streak 7 as well, but I love my streak 5 best of all!
I agree...I love my streak....and the ttorrent app is great

The successor is Google Nexus.

I sold mine too - to CEX in the UK. I traded it in for a galaxy tab and bought a much smaller phone (xperia x8). On the thought process that I could use a proper sized phone for daily use and the galaxy tab for all the other stuff...
How wrong was I...
I found after all this time being a Streaker that the x8 was underpowered even changing to 2.3 didn't help and the galaxy tab was too big to take anywhere without a bag so barely got used.
I missed my Streak so much I went and traded it all back in again and bought my old Streak back!
Bought 2nd Dell Streak
Love my Dell Streak so much I bought a 2nd one.
Had a Moto Xoom Tablet, felt like a poser carrying the tablet around.
Sold the Xoom, it did nothing the Streak couldn't do. And I can have the streak with me anywhere unlike a 10" tablet.
Keep your Streak!
Add me to those who are Streakless.
I replaced the Streak as my everyday phone back in December and sold my Streak on eBay recently. I went with the mini-Streak (Dell Venue, the best Android phone no one has heard of). The Venue is essentially a Streak with a 4.1 inch screen. If anyone wants an unlocked phone that is a smaller version of the Streak keep an eye on the Dell outlet pages, they sell the Venue refurbished for $179 when they have them. I am riding the trailing edge of Android innovation!
I wanted a smaller everyday phone but really liked the Streak, the Venue fits my needs.
We also purchased an Android tablet right before Christmas which I use for many of the things I used to use the Streak for at home.
For over a year I have visited this area of XDA almost everyday and read nearly every post. I'm sure I keep hanging around a while longer, but my participation will drop off.
If you are new to the Streak and come across this post I want to remind you that all of the information you need to mod your phone is right here. Search and read - then do ti again. There is a lot of info and you need to read it in detail.
Thanks to all who made using the Streak a better experience by sharing their knowledge and for having the patience to help the new people along.

After the announcement of 700K sold in Korea, I was wondering how close they were to their second million. Finally found a post about it. Not sure if it's shipped or sold, but whatever.
So let's see the rate of sales:
Oct 29 - Galaxy Note Release
Dec 29 - 1st million
Feb 28 - 2nd million
Pretty encouraging.

About 12
(I say this as a Dell Streak owner)
Shipped about same as sold for popular product over a quarter
The popularity of the Note means that the amount of stock sitting on retailers shelves would be very small compared to the number actually sold over several months.
Retailers' stock is a short term buffer for a very popular product.
Nice that's about a average of 500,000 Per month not bad for what it is...

I'm not surprised it's selling so well - it's the first phone I've had that is really useable as a main internet device. I just upgraded from a S2, and am very happy with it. The laptop and Xoom are gathering dust!

Could not agree more. I am just off for a weekend away, and for the first time I am not going to take anything but my phone. Most of what I need to do, it does, and very well. The huge number of games I have will also make any waiting and travel times fly by!
Congratulations Samsung. Well deserved. I was at the doctors office today and she loved it and was amazed at it. I was proud of my baby

Agreed - hardly use my laptop at all anymore. Speed and versatility of the s-pen make this a wonderful niche device. Can't wait for ICS to (hopefully) improve battery life.

And if it's selling that well, the more accessories will get made. For instance, decent extended batteries and a keyboard case are top of my list. Huzzah!
