Dell Streak Coverage


The Dell Streak has garnered reviews and spotlights in a handful of publications.

The Guardian (article here) provides a comprehensive overview of the Streak and also links to a Dell YouTube video about the phone. While largely objective, the article does question how much demand there is for a phone that's neither a traditional smartphone nor a larger-screen tablet.

Wired (article here) writes that the Streak is the iPad's first real competitor, and says that Dell's decision to price the device on par with an entry level iPad is 'a bold move.'

PC World (article here) agrees that the Streak could be a formidable competitor to the iPad, particularly among business people. The article also claims, however, that the Streak is not a tablet device at all, but rather only a smartphone.

T3 (article here) has a quick mention of the Streak in it's weekly tech roundup section, and says that 'the 5-inch device combines the best of both allowing users to make calls and access a host of entertainment tools.'

Stuff (article here) offers a generally positive review of the Streak, but concludes that the phone's 'identity crisis' may limit its appeal.
