Anyway, if you ever decide to buy a Streak, wait until you get one with Android 2.2 preloaded. 2.1 works fine for me, but 2.2 is faster and you have flash (if you ever need it). That shouldn't be coming late this month. It is a great device, over WiFi browsing is just as fast as on my computer, streaming over our slingbox is great, and everything works instantaneously and very smoothly. And it is still totally portable, the perfect size for me. Typing is the only hassle (Swype is the best option for English but doesn't work for Asian languages) -- which is why I still use my old phone for work. And as far as typing goes the Streak probably is better than the Galaxy tab. 5" is a good size for Swype, but too big for regular thumb typing in landscape unless you have very big hands. In portrait it is better. 7" is too small for regular typing and too big for Swype. |
Yup, I'm much more likely to get a Streak than a Galaxy, because of the size. I don't think Galaxy is going to offer enough difference from iPad for my purposes.
I left the U.S. before Streak came out, or I would've checked it out by now. I ordered an iPhone 4 overseas before I got here, so I'd have a phone to use right away. I got it here because they're sold factory unlocked and I didn't have time to mess with a new device. It's worked well, but I figured I could easily sell it on return to the U.S., because it's unlocked.
