The only reason not to get this is: AT&T!

"We fit the whole world into 5"

Will you kindly remove those poor dwarf androids from your phone and put their world back where you found it!"

5 inches of eyecandy. I wonder how uncomfy it feels in a pocket..

please tell me this isn't an at&t exclusive >_<

i was looking at it before when it was just specs, 5 inch screen would be awsome... but at&t = dealbreaker, i like being able to actually use my phone not jus thave a cool hanset with no signal

You must be holding it wrong!

Yes and the two and a half hour battery life that they dont talk about....

5 inches? As sweet as it may look, I think it's a little too big for a "phone".

... and let's hope it doesn't come with spyware.

Seriously. Everything I have read also says it's 1.6 with an update to 2.2 promised this year. The 1.6 was the only apprehension I had about this 'phone'. If it has 2.1 then I will go ahead and get it. I am already signed up for Dell's 24-hour presale with the $0.99 headset and free shipping.

Hope it does not have any malware installed on the system board

 

[grieve]

I was realy interested in this device untill i saw the size, It is MASSIVE!
For me it is just too big... Iphone is too big and the Dell dwarfs it.

 

[insider3]

What happened to technology shrinking? Pretty soon, we are going to be carrying flat screens around.

New Dell tag line is: "Wanna see my 5 inch?" or "If you compared me to those other guys, my 5 inch is huge."

That's only true if you live in the US though, here in Sweden there's no such thing as an exclusive device.

Granted, we'll probably going to have to wait longer to get our hands on the Streak as well.

Great another smart phone being introduced at the same time carriers are eliminating unlimited bandwith.

Is that a Dell Streak in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Why do I want to pay extra every month for a pocket PC? Is 3G really that necessary? Why does everything need 3G? This is not a phone correct?

It IS a phone also. It has an ear piece & microphone and phone dialer. The 3G is also 'needed' for high speed internet access when not around WiFi.
