Solitaire Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) lol yes, 1st saw it on the TV, 5in screen amazes me. My dad saw it and asked me "so this is this new Google phone that you've been going nuts about? 5 inch screen? One might as well get a tablet!" Had to spend 15 minutes explaining why phone screens were bigger these days and Nexus S vs Galaxy S. Of course the same channel played the ad 3 times in a row and then when we switched over to another channel, the ad was there too Edited December 22, 2010 by Gaurav - Solitaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Gurus, how do you find the Dell streak? not worth it.. Too big for a phone & too small for a tablet. Also pretty far behind on software updates front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) I still don't understand the use cases for the current gen of tablets. Other than traveling, where else is it useful ? And most of them require a PC to copy stuff into them, which kinda makes their existence a moot point. Most of them feel like bloated smart phones to me, atleast the current crop of them.

There's a Honeycomb tablet coming from Motorola, maybe that'll bring something new to the table. That Dell ad is getting annoying now. Back to back on all the news channels.

theneurotoxin Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 2.2 is so last week. First ditch Kies,it's a piece of sh*t.

LaughingMan777 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 sigh. i wish i'd gotten a Samsung Galaxy S. Instead got a Moto Backflip :rant: still. managed to mod it pretty good. Running 2.1 with overclocking to 748Mhz. but would gladly sell it... or... use it as a dev unit once i get the moolah for a Galaxy S. any other phone which is as good?

What he said. The instructions are very simple in that. Try the clean install method illustrated which has been greyed out since yours is a stock phone. Its pretty simple. @rithvik. What version u on? 7? I'm still on 5.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
