HansTWN, glad you'll soon get your wish.
The reading capabilities and screen size are the big draws for me. I've always been way behind on cell phones otherwise. It took me years to get one, then I carried my first off for years, because I had it only in case of emergency. Then it took me years to get an iPhone. Of course, if the Streak had come along earlier....

Actually, HTC has had a phone with a 5" screen (the Advantage) for a long time. Not a big seller, but it has kept its value better than any other phone. 2-3 years after it first came out they still saw no need to reduce the original price. Unfortunately, it was very thick and heavy, technology was not yet ready to have a form factor such as the Streak.
If the Streak does remain the only major 5" phone on the market I suspect it, too will retain its value for a long time.
I wonder how much Apple is losing out by not going for 4" or 4.3"? There seems to be a clear trend towards bigger screens.
