Yet Another Dell Streak Review

"Ultimately, the Streak is a niche device that does some things well. We especially like it as a navigator, and it's a good web surfing companion. It has also has the potential to be a great video player--if Dell makes it easier to transfer content or gets a premium content parter in place. We like the Streak, but we wouldn't pay much more for this hybrid than a high-end Android phone until Dell works out some of the bugs and upgrades to a newer version of the OS."

I'm surprised a lot of the reviewers are not finding issue with the relatively low resolution (800 x 480) for the large screen. From what I've read, a lot of the OS components are scaled down to a lower resolution so that you get more stuff on the screen, but I kind of think that is cheating. Something everyone seems to agree on though is that it is an awful shame to have Cupcake rather than a more recent build of Android on such a unique device.
