Reasons Why The Dell Streak Isn't Worth It

The new Dell Streak has been released in the past month gaining a lot of attention but no in a good way. Some people say, including myself, the new Dell Streak came a little to late. This device has been plagued with setbacks which affected the official release date of the phone and now the features that it holds are all standard on most Android phones, so there is nothing to make it stand out in the crowd. The only feature that makes it stand out is the monstrous 5 inch screen and to me that is not really a feature it is just a disadvantage unless you have big hands or big pockets. This phone is plagued with disadvantages and I don't even think that the advantages can even out with the disadvantages. The big disadvantage is the size of the screen but many people will think this is an advantage though, so I will state the advantages and disadvantages of the screen. With the screen being so big, you would assume that the resolution would be better the than the regular 480x800 resolution. Well it's not and I believe this is a major let down but the upside of this screen is that this screen is great for watching videos or even reading a e-book. The other features of this phone are not that great, they're just standard features. This phone will not survive on the open market for long, it's just to big for the hands and is a hassle to hold when making a phone call. The device can be considered many different things, Dell calls it a tablet, while everyone calls it an over sized phone or a really small tablet. What do you think it is?
