Dell Streak

For a phone,the Streak is huge; you get a 5-inch touchscreen within a substantial body that weights around half as much again as the rest in the test. Arguably it's more of a tablet computer than a mobile, but it has a camera and will fit into a large pocket.


The Streak is actually gorgeous to hold, it use and to gaze upon lovingly, it's comfortable in the hand, has a satisfying heft and the feel of a gadget that won't mind the odd knock. The toughened glass facade melts neatly into a fast taper at the edges.

But it's when you start  to play that you get full benefit of that extra screen space. It bustle around on its 1GHz engine and the touch response is impressive. Web browsing is quick, and as you'd expect with that massive screen, clicking on links is less fiddly than with others here. Video playback doesn't disappoint either, although the speaker, which peeps through a crack in the back, gets damped if you lay it flay on a table.

However, taking a phone call on a 5in tablet will make you feel a bit odd, and could be the cause of some finger-pointing in public. The Streak will fill a niche, but we have a hunch that's a very small patch of middle ground.

You can buy Dell Streak at a Price of Rs 35,500.
