The Dell Streak 7 is a tablet we’ve been waiting from Dell to be made. This is a decent device company. This pair of solid, hardware is fine with a creative spin on the Android 2.2. Indeed, we have seen a similar 7-inch tablet Android come and go, but this time Dell is about to increase the stakes by making 4G-compatible tablet first.
Design of Dell Streak 7
Powered off, Dell Streak 7 looks almost identical to Samsung Galaxy Tab. Construction mostly from plastic, with screen covered by glass, and design which slim taper around the edges and feels solid in your hand. Streak is longer than the tab by a half inch, with a size of 7.75 inches, 4.6 inches wide, and the hair under a half inch thick.
One little design detail that distinguishes the Dell Streak 7 hardware from Samsung Galaxy Tab is a decision to adjust the hardware and user system interface for use in landscape orientation, rather than portrait mode-centric from smart phone. In general, the touch of a button to back, menu adn home located on the right side of the screen, gathered together to make them easy to be controlled with your fingers. It is a wise design choice
Features of Dell Streak 7
The Dell Streak 7 offers most of the features we’d expect from a high-end tablet. You get a 5-megapixel camera on the back (with flash) that can shoot photos and 720p videos. A camera (with microphone) also sits on the front, offering a 1.3-megapixel quality that’s just fine for self-portraits and video chat. Other basic features such as 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth audio and data connections are here, though we wouldn’t mind having an 802.11 n setting.

Of course, the biggest feature the Dell Streak 7 has to offer is compatibility with T-Mobile’s 4G wireless network. Because 4G is still in its early rollout phase, coverage will vary from location to location, so check with T-Mobile’s 4G coverage map before making the jump. For us, the 4G speed enabled faster loading for YouTube videos, with less frequent dropouts.
Surely, the biggest feature provided by Dell Streak 7 is its compatibility with wireless 4G network T-Mobile. 4G because it is still in the initial launch phase, coverage will vary from location to location, so check the coverage map 4G with T-Mobile before making the journey.
