Well I used it as a phone once and it worked well enough. Yes it was a bit cumbersome to make the call but it worked. I see it as a very occasional phone usage machine though.

Mind you saying it was large it did fit in a jeans pocket with no problems at all.

Well I must say I loved the review that you did Guru.

Very well put together and answered some questions about the Streak that I didn't get from other sources.

There's a question or two that's been going through my head for a little while now though.

Can the Streak's keyboard be used in Portrait mode in say for instance,the messaging app?

And how was your experience with the phones battery life with the 3G on or EDGE on.

I read Endgadget's review of the Streak about a week or so ago and they reported getting about 10 hours or so with 3G,Wifi and GPS on.

Expansys are now listing the Huawei competitor at £299

Bigger screen but only 2Mp camera and Android 2.1  

Looks interesting!

Glad you enjoyed the review!

Yes the keyboard will work in portrait mode no issues there!

Battery life would probably be inline with that reported in the other review.

Thank you very much for answering my question Guru.

Now all I need to do is sit back and wait for Dell to start Streak distribution in America.Posted Image

Will you be doing an unboxing of the US unlocked version of the Streak?

Unfortunately, as a UK based site we don't have access to most of the US releases :)  We do have a close relationship with O2 UK, which is why we are able to review some of their devices before other sites!
