Dell Streak Unlocked:: Is it worth $500.00 bones ?

The Dell Streak is set to be released in the U.S. and it will be Unlocked and available online to customers to use on any carrier. Is it worth $500.00?  Does it come with a small midget butler who will serve me grapes? If not i don’t see myself spending 500.00 for a cell phone unless its can perform like a laptop while serving as a phone. The Dell streak does take a good punch at the Apple iPad in regards to the screen, apps, and functions.  I believe Mobile Phones are beginning to become a redundant liability;next month we will be talking about another phone while the Dell Streak will be on sale for 199.00. Am I wrong? No, I will answer that for you.

The 5-inch tablet will launch first to customers in the United Kingdom in early June. Customers there will be able to purchase it across the UK at O2 stores, O2.co.uk, The Car-phone Warehouse and later this month on Dell.co.uk. Pricing and data plans for UK customers will be announced by O2 before availability. The Dell Streak will be available to customers in the United States later this summer. Below are some of the features of this device.

Features:

  • A sharp 5-inch capacitive multi-touch WVGA (800×480) display for a great full-screen experience watching video or browsing the web
  • Fast 1GHz Snapdragon ARM-based mobile processor from Qualcomm
  • 5 MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash that offers easy point & shoot capability and quick uploads to YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and more
  • VGA front-facing camera enables video chat functionality down the road
  • A user-removable (and replaceable) battery
  • A 3.5mm headphone jack means many of you can use the Dell Streak as the music source (and more) in your car
  • Integrated 3G + Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) + Bluetooth 2.1 (think headsets, external keyboards, stereo headsets, etc.)
  • UMTS / GPRS / EDGE class 12 GSM radio with link speeds of HSDPA 7.2 Mbps / HSUPA
  • A user-accessible Micro SD slot expandable up to 32GB. That means you can store  lots of movies, music, photos or other kinds of files.

On the software side, here’s what you can expect:

  • A customized multi-touch version of the Google Android opering system and other Dell enhancements
  • Access to over 38,000  apps (and growing) via the Android Marketplace
  • Microsoft Exchange connectivity and integration through TouchDown
  • Google Voice support
  • Integrated Google Maps with voice-activated search, turn-by-turn navigation, street and satellite views
  • Quick access to activity streams via integrated social network app widgets like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube

Dell Streak Issues:

  • Nothing groundbreaking other than the large screen
  • Will be replaced by another phone in  about 5 months
  • WVGA screen is nothing when compare to the HD screens on other mobile phones
  • 5 mp camera is okay not the greatest
  • Does not record in HD – another drawback
  • Microsoft exchange utility – not the best…

peep the video below… stay tuned for details

    How much would you pay for an iPhone or Evo?

    I wouldn’t buy an iPhone – I am more of a trade type of a person. I can get an iPhone easily by trading gadgets with people. but if i had to pay for an iPhone or EVO – i wouldn’t pay more than 200.00 because they both have a short shelf life.
