If you throw in phone calls, you can expect to get about five to six hours of talk time. Pretty impressive if you ask us, especially when you consider there's a large screen to power.
On a side note, you may recognise the USB portit's almost identical to Apple's infamous proprietary connection, although don't try to swap between the two.
It's really quirt irritating - in a time when there are many companies attempting to produce a universal charger culture -that companies such as Dell and Apple break the mould by throwing in a larger proprietary port. It takes away the ability to charge all of your devices with one universal charger.
The Dell Streak is much more effective as a small tablet than as a large smartphone. We wouldn't recommend even purchasing one with voice activated.
It's a shame that the device is so slow though, and running on Android 1.6 just isn't acceptable on such a hyped device. Although it will be updated in future, as it stands, we were expecting more.
Verdict
The Dell Streak is an able tablet, it’s just a shame that it’s so sluggish and it runs on Android 1.6. Hopefully an update will bring with it better memory management to speed the device up a little and better business features including Exchange email – otherwise we’ll be very disappointed.
