Streak 5 Owner Considering Streak 7

[shEEEsh]

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
