5" Dell Android phone Presale Sign-up

5" Dell Android phone coming out. Now that's a nice beautiful monster. You can sign up for presale.

From BGR:
Anybody out there looking for an Android smartphone with a 5-inch screen? Dell has updated their official Streak webpage to let you know that the Android phone, with its massive screen, will be available in late July and that there are pre-order opportunities available. You can hit up the read link to give Dell your information for the chance to: have an exclusive 24 hour pre-sale purchase window, get a free upgrade to second business day shipping, and purchase a Plantronics Bluetooth headset for $0.99. Who’s getting one of these massive phones?

Maybe I didn't see it since it's late but does it mention who the carrier will be?

It is GSM, it is listed under the specs tab.

Interesting device! I have the Droid X and it is large but not too large (at least for me) but only barely not too large. I noticed that the Dell Streak is not only larger but has more body real estate at the top and bottom of the phone. I wonder how that is going to be to hold or carry and will you look like you're holding a laptop to your head if using the phone without a earpiece?

GSM leaves me out. What are the specs on the phone?

Re: 5" Dell Android phone Presale Sign-up

Did any of you notice that it ships with Android 1.6? Isn't that too old of an OS to be coming out now? Of course Dell has said it would upgrade the OS at some point but if this is a good faith measure of how good their timely support is maybe we should wait awhile...

I basically think you should either be 100% happy with the shipping OS or not buy the device, all it'll take is a software/hardware issue for Dell to say, "Due to hardware restraints this device isn't capable to receive Android 2.x".

Has this happened several times already with various phones?

Re: 5" Dell Android phone Presale Sign-up

Although its sweet, when you think about it, its just too damn big. Just not practical in everyday use. How do you put it in your pocket? If you add a case, it'll even be bigger. They should've at least got rid of the buttons and bezel and make it only the touch screen to save space.

I wonder what the battery life is in real everyday use, its probably even worse than the EVO.
