[Streak 5 General] Theoriginalgiga:
Personally I love the streak, it's just the right size, not so big I can't fit it in my pocket, not so small that I look like a retard squinting at the screen to read thins. I can play games and read web pages and books. Heck I use it to remote into my servers and home machines and never worry about the resolution.

By far the streak is one of the best put together phones I've seen in a long long time and so far it's the only one I want to own. I usually change my phones every six months, but the streak has been on my hip since the day it was released, I even overnight shipped it I wanted it so bad. I paid the full price, unsubsidized and don't regret it one bit.

Sure the streak has it's quirks, what phone doesn't, but at the end of the day, the community takes care of the quirks. As for the hardware issues, sure it would be nice to have a dual core, better resolution for a camera, dedicated graphics chip, standard USB port, chainsaw attachment, but that's the price we pay, we trade certain amenities for others. We have the large screen, but got stuck with a proprietary port, it was stuck on android 1.6 for how long? We got DJ_Steve. (seriously if you haven't used his ROM, that's why you're complaining because his ROM makes everything better).

Long story short, yea it isn't perfect but nothing ever is. Either learn to love your streak or sell it, no need to complain about what it doesn't do.

I sold mine a month ago, and bought the Motorola Atrix (Bell Canada version supporting all world ROMS) and a 64Gb blackberry playbook

The DS was just too slow and jerky (needed Dual Core from the get go). The build quality was shonky too.

And looking at the forum, all development seems to have stopped...

Yet another product dropped by Dell after only a few months :(
[Streak 5 General] Made2Last:
Well, Dell did release froyo for the Streak. Most phones have been getting one major update in their lifetime.

And the Community moved on from a product that I don't believe sold anywhere near the numbers of the more mainstream releases.

Its tech, people move on fast and upgrade constantly. There is always a newer and better device. Installed base helps drive development.
[Streak 5 General] fogozito:
Here is my tale:

I sold my dell streak 1 month ago. i used my old X10 for 3 days the community did a major breakthourtg in developement but the screen seemed to small and send it to the repair center due to radio issues . i picked up a BB bold and finnaly i managed to get an Iphone 3G wich i used for 2 weeks and i hated every piece of it: screen size, no mass usb storage, the apps, just a bunch of icons in the homescreen it was really slow and itunes for everything

I managed to exchange the iphone for the streak, i conviced the guy at work to the one i sold the streak that the iphone was better and we traded phones. i feel bad for him. but i am back to my streak again and pretty happy, the streak is unique too big for a phone and too small for a tablet, it has pros and cons but who cares. i just cant let it go!! :D:D:D
[Streak 5 General] briansj:
I moved to Dell Streak from Samsung Vibrant. The screen is so much bigger :) I'm not regretting but I wish the Streak's camera is on par with my old Vibrant though. The speaker is also very weak.
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The Streak is going to last me for the next several years, because it does what I absolutely need it to do, and with a screen that I don't have to squint at to see. Plus, it was the final gift given to me from my roommate's mom before she died, so it has sentimental value.

Everything else is a bonus.
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Today was my last day using the Streak. Don't get me wrong I love this device. The size is amazing 351 has been a great stock OS and StreakDroid 1.9.0 was awesome. But I got bored and decided to trade for an Atrix. I know I will miss the size of the Streak but with them being so cheap I know I could pick one up quickly if I really wanted to. If Dell releases a sequel to the Streak 5 with dual core and hopefully a better camera I will definitely pick it up.
[Streak 5 General] BlueCrystal:
For all the people whining about the resolution, you can run a mod with streakdroid to make the screen density anywhere from really goddamn huge to the tiniest letters you've ever seen, so much so that resolution doesnt mean a thing when you have it the way you like.

Resolution doesnt mean much, like with the iphone 4. Theres no reason to have that resolution on such a small screen.

I'm just wondering if there's anyone here in Melbourne with a XTC-Clip that I could use to S-OFF my phone. I would gladly pay a small fee for this purpose. Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] MrCheeney:
And another Desire S S-ON user from Melbourne here who may be interested :)
[HTC Desire S] jazzaddict:
Not many I guess..since Desire S will be exclusively available to Telstra subscribers..and it's not being released yet in Australia
[HTC Desire S] Madrenergic:
You might get a better chance if you posted in other forums. Simply because you don't get a reply here doesn't mean there isn't one. XTC Clips are used for a wide range of HTC devices, and the owners of one would probably not be reading this forum since there is a good chance they use a different HTC device.
[HTC Desire S] muyongyin:
in china,some sellers can get your device S-OFF by a specific SIM.we generally call it "white card"for its coulor on surface.

is that the same as your countries?
[HTC Desire S] neo-X:
Same here, will pay to use it!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
It may be worth reading this thread and the links within it, to other threads containing XTC Clips based around the globe.

If someone purchases the clip im willing to chuck some money your way :)

Just bought my Trident Aegis Case for Nook Color for $23.99 free shipping from http://www.meritline.com/newsearch.aspx?SearchTerm=nook+color . If anybody wants it, it is still available. Pretty decent case.
[Nook Color Accessories] a.fenderson:
I'll second the notion that it's a good case, and it's normally between $35 and $40 I believe, so that's a good deal. The only issue I have with it is that it's so good and accessible I never want to remove my Nook from it, yet it won't quite fit in the Aalto case I bought. It kind of does, but it's incredibly hard to get it in, and I have to use pliers to get the zipper open again. :) I'm hoping it will stretch the Aalto enough to make it easy in, easy out eventually, but I'm not sure it will happen.
[Nook Color Accessories] cama900:
Just ordered one :) cant wait for it to come in. It looks amazing!!
[Nook Color Accessories] s0ma:
Looks nice. Might get this to replace my current one. Thanks for the post!
[Nook Color Accessories] a.fenderson:
It didn't seem to happen at all, and definitely not before I broke the zipper tab off. :( Anyone know of a good case that will protect the screen etc with the Aegis left on?
[Nook Color Accessories] tj!2k7:
The Rocketfish neoprene sleeve accommodates the NC w/ Aegis case without issue.
[Nook Color Accessories] a.fenderson:
Their generic ereader case, like this one at Best Buy?
[Nook Color Accessories] tj!2k7:
Yup, that should be the one. =)
[Nook Color Accessories] a.fenderson:
Awesome, thanks, that's exactly what I need! :-)

EDIT: Ordered one from ebay and received it--it's perfect! I can even fit my credit-card sized SanDisk card reader and my SD card holder in it as well!
[Nook Color Accessories] ScruffyWolf:
Ordered the case from Meritline Monday..received it today. Sooo awesome. Love it. Got the black and yellow..looks super slick. Feels better than naked Nooky too, crazy right?
[Nook Color Accessories] tj!2k7:
Yeah that case is wicked awesome, I couldn't be happier with mine. =)

I'd like to request invocation of Rule 34 at this time... lol
[Nook Color Accessories] For_the_moves:
Just got mine. I'm totally satisfied with it quality wise but I have two small issues.

- Does your hinge to access the microSD slot ever lie flush with the rest of the case or am I doing something wrong?

- I messed up the screen protector a bit, actually throwing out the protector itself and tried to apply the plastic. :o When i realized what happened, the actual protector was covered in small specks of dust. You think they'll send me a new one if I ask nicely? :)
[Nook Color Accessories] tbXDA:
FYI... I have the AEGIS case and like it a lot.

I ordered the following zipper carrying case from Amazon and for $5.50 shippped it works well. It is the Belkin Neoprene Kindle Case.

Search on item: B001NPDA44

With the AEGIS Case on, in the Belkin Zipper Case, side to side it probably has 1/4" of slack, up and down is pretty tight, but finessing the neoprene a bit, it is fairly easy to zip up.

Plus Zagg -Maybe

Applied the;

Zagg Invisible Shield - Nook Color Skin

Full Body Maximum Coverage - $ 29.99.

I did this with the intention of wrapping the Trident around it.

Man am I disipointed in the Zagg. It peels off in 7 differant pieces. One being a super thin strip around the case that I ended up tossing aside, as useless. Even with that in use; there would be no seal from screen to case which is why i wanted the darn thing in the first place.

There are a couple good points and i will detail them in a seperate review thread having already talked to customer service at Zagg in the morning. BUT the real kicker?!?!

After I spent an hour installing the thing to the very best I could, and booting up for a look see; I found a slice 3/4 of the way accross the entire face of the protector, about 1/5 of the way down from the top. I examined under 10x. Yep. Factory flaw.

The Zagg is not invisible at all. It has a wavy surface texture, that to my eyes makes the text no longer pop. Any plastic screen cover will resist smears in comparison to glass as glass is porous.

I will try the Aegis Trident's included screen protector and pop for a three year (accidental damage included) warranty through SquareTrade and call it done; returning the Zagg for a refund.
[Nook Color Accessories] cama900:
anybody know how to clean the colored back? its starting to get a bit off color, especially on the little ridges
[Nook Color Accessories] busyworked:
I just cleaned the whole front and back of my Nook Color after peeling off a Zagg kit.

I sculpt so I use all manor of solvents. But that doesn't mean I know best, but for me this is my common procedure.

Unit turned off, laying on a soft surface. I used these microfiber cloths, been using them for years.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rasco-Cleaning-...ltDomain_0&hash=item4a906936bf#ht_3420wt_1179

Lay that flat, then the Nook, Then a cut off piece of the microfiber cloth and dab with

99% isopropyl alcohol clear. Not 70% so the water evaporates quicker. $4 bucks a bottle instead of $1 but worth it to my mind.

Clean an area and re dampen cloth as necessarily, the cloth will dry every 15 seconds or so.. Very effective.

If cleaning screen and find a stubburn spot, gently use fingernail and or a little saliva on the finger. Redo surface with the alcohol.

Finally finish with clean dry cloth as the chemical leaves a slight film that is easily rubbed off.

Let the device sit and dry for 10 minutes. Wait an hour if you used 70% instead of 99% alcohol.

And you are good to go.
[Nook Color Accessories] cama900:
thanks man!
[Nook Color Accessories] busyworked:
My green Trident kit arrived yesterday and I have to tell ya; it is perfect for my needs. And don't under rate the screen protector it comes with. It is far more clear than the Zagg. No anti-glare, just good clear view and easy enough to apply. As for the case; it feels great in the hand. The silicon picks up lint and dust. But I personely LIKE that as it gives it a lived in look.

I was concerned living in a metropolis that it might look too snazzy and I might get knocked over the head for it. But actually the ballistic green just looks masculine and yet more like a toy or cheaper music player, not a full blown computer.

Case doesn't block anything nor does it interfere with a WiFi signal. I bumped around town today with it inside my Levy jacket and sipped some WiFi here and there no problem, CM7 and Nook stock. The case is a great purchase.

Thanks again tt1114, for the heads up. Its still $23.99 out the door.

[Nook Color Accessories] Alex_32571:
Thanks for this! Just ordered a blue one. (:

It can work this way?! :D
[Nook Color Accessories] busyworked:
Advocate, it will not work like that. But that is an interesting design idea. I plan to buy some paper notebook cases and put one in each jacket. Lots of ways to deal with it. A gutted old hard back book, etc, the face only needs protection while on the move. But nothing beats a three year drop warranty from Squaretrade, or two years from Barnes. I enjoy my beast more without cradling it like a fragile wine glass that it is not. It is not Guerrilla glass, but I have caught my self squeezing the heck out of the corner of the screen a couple times. It is hard to break a life times habit of pressing buttons. Bye the way the side buttons actually work better with the Trident case on.
[Nook Color Accessories] advocate2:
Barnes and Noble sells a cover in which the back of the cover clips onto the NC. I'm thinking of buying one and just cutting off the excess part of the cover. The problem is that Barnes and Noble covers are expensive.

Is there any other cheaper cover that also uses the clip on technique rather than the glove technique?
[Nook Color Accessories] craigbru:
I've received my cover from Meritline, and the quality of materials seems fine, but the fit isn't that great. It puckers up on two sides next to the screen. Does anyone else have that problem, or is mine just a dud? I've got the black one if that makes a difference.
[Nook Color Accessories] a.fenderson:
Mine doesn't do that--it does lift very, very slightly along the top and bottom of the screen, near the middle, but it's almost not even noticeable.
[Nook Color Accessories] Imbroglio:
Well I screwed up the aegis screen protector installation. I noticed after I put it on that it has rounded corners only on one side (opposite the tabs). So I did the scotch tape trick to remove and reposition it right side up. Lots of lint was the result. I did the scotch tape trick to remove the lint, but managed to get adhesive from the tape on the screen. I carefully tried to spray a small amount of cleaner on the screen while holding on the the lifted corner of the protector but of course it full sprayed and splashed on the underside of the screen protector.

It looked ok after I finally got everything situated, but when I hold it up to a bright light I can see a cloudy band where the cleaner hit. Stuff like this just bothers me and I might just take the thing off.
[Nook Color Accessories] craigbru:
Thanks. Mine is definitely more than noticeable. I'll look in to getting it replaced.
[Nook Color Accessories] christoophat:
Got mine yesterday (Meritline's choice of ship method seems to have been on the back of a snail) but quickly installed it Already had a screen protector from B&N (had them install it - ftw), and it fits perfect & looks/feels really nice. Kind of wish it had a removable front cover, but other than that , mos def a really nice addition to my NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] bugeyed1:
Just got mine & it has big gaps on the long sides & not so big on the short sides. It's excessive on the long sides. On one side it's 1/8" in the middle. I've tried tweaking the cover with the plastic removed & trying again with limited success. I suspect that it is hit or miss on getting a snug fit. It was similar with the B&N silicone cover. Let us know how yours turns out.

Cheers,

kev
[Nook Color Accessories] christoophat:
I wonder if this lot of cases was a "distressed" lot. Mine got here last week & fits really nicely, but the retail box it was in was kind of mushed up. Maybe some got exposed to hear & relaxed or something...?

Found a Rocketfish RF-LYCB01 carrying case for it on ebay for $10.50 shipped
[Nook Color Accessories] ndiguy5:
I spoke with Trident about this. They are thinking about selling a clip on cover. I recommended they add a built in stand. That way the cover could taken off on snapped on the back.
[Nook Color Accessories] christoophat:
that would be great. I'd be happy with just the cover!!
[Nook Color Accessories] Buckybuck:
I just got this cover and want to try the screen protector; hopefully, without screwing it up. When you talk about the tabs, are you talking about the green and red ones on the screen protector? On mine, they're both attached to the same edge. If I'm holding it with the green tab at top and facing me, the red tab is on the right with the red side facing away from me.

When held this way, the bottom horizontal edge of the screen protector looks like its corners are slightly rounded. Are those the rounded corners you mention? If so, which edge goes on top of the Nook's screen, the edge with the tabs? And am I going to have trouble figuring out which side is the screen protector and which side is the screen protector protector (the part that I don't use)?
[Nook Color Accessories] Imbroglio:
The screen protector is actually sandwiched between 2 sheets with the tabs. Partially pull back on tab 1 to expose the downfacing portion of the screen protector and if that is the edge with the squared corners, applying that to the bottom edge of the NC screen first.

The rounded corners go on the top (the side opposite the n). When I first tried to put it on I discovered that the squared corners was the reason that the screen protector wouldn't go all up to the edge of the black border. Anyway, after doing more of the scotch tape trick I was able to get almost all of the dust out and now it looks nice.

Here is a video showing how to do the scotch tape trick:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA7EBDQ3gU4

I didn't use the cloth supplied with the Aegis as it was leaving a lot of lint behind. Instead I used eyeglass cleaner spray and one of those blue microfiber towels meant for cleaning LCD tv's and monitors. Hold the NC at an angle in bright light and you will be able to see any smudges or lint that needs to be cleaned off.

Don't worry if it doesn't go on straight or has bubbles. You can reposition and clean out debris the technique in the above video. Have patience and don't try to rush it.

Are you talking about getting Widgets close to the actual LP dock? If so, I believe I used a 3x2 Desktop Visualizer widget for the apps icon, and it fit with no problem in the top right corner (with the + as the dock icon). If you're talking about the battery and wifi indicators, that's a little tricky. There's going to be a gap between them and the actual edge of the device, since the dock can't be removed yet. If you guys (because I know someone else was having this issue) could PM me with the specific setup issue you're having, I'll be happy to troubleshoot with you. :)
