Got mine a few days ago, and must say am impressed so far.responsive with no lags or hang ups etc. cons include, 1) battery life- hardly does a day which isnt too bad compared to otehr current phoness...2)android 1.6 ?!?!? due for upgrade but no one knows when...3) screen is MASSIVE...which is why i go it, so i suggest try before u commit to buy (and yes it des fit in your pockets !)...4)a cloth case?!?!? common....a hard leather one should have been a must
other than that am prety satisfired with it, the screen is amazing and so is the camera with teh on board editing software ...and yeah one thing more..No hdmi or car dock supplied with it, so guess thats sumthing i hafta get now :) all in all...a worthy oponent to the over hyped apple phones....in my opinion its not a smart phone but a tablet pc with phoen capabilities :)

Have to say, so far so good. 2nd day running the device.. very impressed with the touch response, and (like the iphone) it only responds to skin touch. Pinch for zoom on web pages, supremely customizable home screen and VERY good quality streaming videos from youtube. Camera quality is pretty good too. Very happy with this purchase. Posted from my Dell Streak :-D

No iPlayer on this model as yet - according to the BBC the phone is not supported (www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer.html). Had a play with music - was extremely slow to transfer from my Desktop (3GB RAM) to the 16GB Memory card of the phone. Sound from the speaker is louder than the iPhone but not quite as good quality wise. Through the headphones, it's equal to the iPhone/iPod Touch. Have set up my emails and it's very efficient and easy to read, although the notification bar is quite small at the top. Web browsing is superb. Screen shows much more info than the iPhone - without having to double tap to zoom in and out. All in all, very happy - but still have this niggle that the lack of support/accessories from Dell/O2 may kill this off, especially now iPhone 4 is due out...

Robbie, 09 Jun 2010Also the other thing is, this phone is not upgradable to Froyo at the moment. It will run on O... moreThis is exclusive to UK at the moment to O2 and Carphone warehouse.
Been speaking to the Dell Rep this afternoon, I have a Iphone 3GS and think highly of apple products but WOW this is a really good handset!! Fair enought its massive to hold to your face to take a call on lol but to be fair you can always use a bluetooth ear piece! There will be a few updates for the handset soon to up its memory, it's gonna be getting more app's and will have at least one million app's in a years time! Dell already have pre order from aboard! For those of you that are not interested in the phone side of things you can get this on contract for 25 pounds a month, 2 year contract for 3GB data allowence. beats them netbooks.
of you can not buy this in carphone warehouse on pay as you go hun, but you can buy it out right for 429.00 pounds.

Also the other thing is, this phone is not upgradable to Froyo at the moment. It will run on OS 1.6 till the end of this year apparently. If you are in the uk and want to buy this phone, go to o2 store as they are selling it for £399 and carphone warehouse is selling it for £429 +£20 top up

I want to tell this to everyone that it does not have internal memory of 16 GB, its a size of memory card that comes with it. Internal memory is 2GB which is hardly used by a user because it takes up most of the space to install its programs.

When will you guys come up with the review. I'm waiting eagerly for an insight into the gizmo. I looked out on several other sites, but your reviews are the one I trust the most.
Please grab a piece fast and get me some info.
Thanx.

Have just spent the last 24 hours playing with this giant phone/tablet PC! Very quick, very easy to use. Great screen - perfect for viewing internet pages/documents etc. Still to set up email etc but so far so good. The SAR rating is excellent (0.75) but noticed my signal drop occasionally yesterday. Bit disappointed with the availability of apps, and no BBC iPlayer of course, but with less restrictions than the iPhone - it's right up there. Battery life appears to be good despite hammering it with use over the 24 hours! Next test wil be music on the device and setting up ringtones etc and comparing it with my iPod Touch... So far, I'm quite happy. Would love to get my hands on the new iPhone 4 to compare like-for-like though. If your thinking of upgrading, it may be worth waiting a couple of weeks and testnig both in a shop before buying...
