In my continuing series of device gallery posts, I’m turning the camera onto the mammoth Dell Streak. Just like the HTC HD7, I’ll be writing a full blog post about the device soon. As a taster though, here’s the eye candy post!

The Streak is an Android device, and it’s honestly a matter of opinion as to whether it should be classed as a large phone or a small tablet. It’s a fully functioning Android phone, but its five inch screen makes it difficult to describe as “pocket sized”.

The differentiators of the Streak, apart from its screen size come in the form of Dell’s “Stage UI”, which I didn’t find too offensive in comparison to the pure Google experience offered on the HTC Nexus One. The other unique(ish) selling point is inclusion of the Swype virutal keyboard. I’ve tried Swype on Symbian, where I was quite underwhelmed. However, there’s something about doodling lines to type words on such a large screen that is actually an enjoyable experience.

Thanks to Tim Salmon for the loan of this one.

What is the total cost of the Dell streak 5 phone plus shipping cost to Zambia via DHL/FEDEX.
How secure is the payment and how long will it take to receive the parcel once payment has been confirmed?
