5.0 out of 5 stars Good deal for the money,

Aleksandr Bauman "tester" -

I got Dell Streak 7 Tablet from T-Mobile
I think for now you not be able to get better deal for the money
It not perfect but compare to Samsung tab you got 4G ;better processor and support of Android 3 Honeycomb in future VS better screen and battery
> battery is OK for me ; who have time to play more than 3-4 hours a day ? and for working tasks and prefer laptop
>screen OK too; anyway most of the games and applications by now designed for phones with same resolution so you may not even tell difference
Play HD 1080 video may good as a test but not functional ( extra time to download ; then extra space and battery for what ??)
I will say Dell Streak 7 is too young ( required Honeycomb to work better ) VS Samsung tab already too old ( NO 4g and No dual-core and No Honeycomb )
So I will keep it for few month then plan to update Black Friday (Motorola Xoom should be mach cheaper then

4.0 out of 5 stars Dell Streak 7 4G Tablet is a Winner!,

J. W. Hanlon (Texas USA) - 

We recently started using our Dell Streak 7 and we really enjoy it. It is versatile and the screen looks great. We are little worried about dropping it on a hard surface, especially when the kids are playing with it. The games are fun and the sounds coming out of the speakers are terrific. We purchased it through Tmobile for under $200 and what a deal; in addition, we love the 4G speed. For increased speed, we connect to our home wireless internet. Everything is working better than the reviews I read. Tmobile TV is cool but some of the program graphics aren't so good. Overall, we would definitely purchase another.
