..on further inspection, the label in the battery compartment also says MB860, as does all over documentation with the phone. It is just when I look at the model in phone settings that it says ME860

Just wondering how many dell streak users have switched over to the Note. Still waiting for my note to get here, hopefully tomorrow. I had my streak for a year and a half and it was my favorite phone I've had. Any streak converts...how are you finding the switch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
Shockingly, it's not as big a difference as I had hoped. I guess that's a testament to how ahead of its time the streak was. I love the Note, too.

I also really appreciate the development here, its nice to have a phone that a few other people have as well..!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mredraider:
Digitizer on my streak stopped responding literally a week before this bad boy was shipping. I miss the metal case on the streak, somehow felt a bit tougher... lord knows that thing had been dropped.

I'm a bit terrified to drop the Note. Plastic and weak feeling in comparison...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] auramae:
I was hoping to be blown away moving from the Streak, but so far I am not seeing a huge improvement. Maybe I should go back to the Streak for a day to change my perspective. Of course my Streak was running a custom ROM and my Note is still just stock. I imagine I will like it much better when I get a new ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nystreak:
Most of the enjoyment I got from the streak was playing with the custom roms. Especially dj Steve's gingerbread roms.

Great avatar slaydog!

The one thing I do NOT miss about my Streak is the back cover sliding off and turning off the phone if/when the phone got bumped while in by belt holster case. Both my Streak and Note are rooted; and that is it! No custom ROMs etc. The Note is WAY faster than my Streak. The Note's picture quality is WAY better than the Streak. I kind of miss the landscape mode too; but I'll live....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
Had a dell streak for over a year...despite Dell/At&t not knowing what they had, not supporting the device, it was (even with 2.2.2) my favorite device.

Got a Note just before Christmas (international version), and absolutely LOVE IT!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] boxerlover02:
I hated the streak so I see a lot of difference with the note its much faster and all around better device hands down the streak is a POS compared to the note IMO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZHofmann:
its been an easy move from the streak to the note. overall size is almost the exact same. I did like the Streak's landscape mode too.

2 Birds with one stone.

I switched from the Dell Streak 7 (multimedia & gaming / browsing), and the HTC Inspire as my primary 2 devices down to the AT&T Note; putting both out to pasture. So far I am VERY pleased with the switch.

There are quite a few incompatible apps with the Note so far since it is brand new but I don't mind waiting. As far as modding the Note, I have already flashed the OC/kernel and the Deoxed Rom; It took a great Gingerbread device and made it even better. I can't wait to see what pops up in the coming month for the Note.

I had my Dell Streak running smooth, had bought the Dock and a 32 gig card for it, had the Mini HDMI - HDMI cable and other little things. Now I guess I'll put the Streak and everything on eBay and say goodbye to it, and keep the Inspire in a drawer as backup in case I need it. You guy's think $175 is about right for the Streak/Doc/Card/Cables?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SeanH:
I had the Streak for 2 years and loved it. I now have the Note and it has a nice screen and it seems a little faster. The battery life and charge time on the Streak is way better. I like many that posted here prefer the landscape operation of the Streak. Using third party apps 95% of the time I can use the Note landscape.

I used custom ROM on the streak and looking forward to a custom version of ICS for the Note. My screen density is set at 240 and I use Zeam as my launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
I am really loving the Note. I still have the Streak but the screen is broken again and this was the last time for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
My fondness of my streak is like that of a childhood friend.. Sounds weird but i don't think ill ever forget it, no matter how many phones i go through in life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rag1998:
I was one of the early Streak adopters(I should say), loved the screen size, landscape mode, custom roms & streaksmart.com with a small tight community..

Note being same dimensions with a lot more power was an easy choice for me, and yes I love it so far, lot smoother and no quirkiness that I experienced with stock and some custom roms on Streak and no I don't miss the Streak :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
I dont even remember seeing the streak for sale at at&t, were these unlocked on at&t? I'm surprised you guys are seeing the difference to be minimal. Dell doesnt have the greatest reputation for quality products. No offense to anyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rag1998:
It wasnt advertised properly, when it first went on sale it was only available through Dell.com with a ATT contract. Later it was launched in BestBuy and ATT stores but there was enough publicity!

Quality of the product it self isn't bad, solid construction but software updates pretty much sucked, it came with Android 1.6 when 2.2 was available and took Dell months to release an upgrade. But I was able to root and apply a custom rom with 2.2 in couple weeks after the phone launched, DJ_Steve was a dedicated developer working and churning out custom ROMS like crazy!! So that made it worth while!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tzxck:
streak

shattered the screen on my streak 2 days ago, already replaced the screen once and decided it was time for an upgrade instead of replacing again. happy so far, but the custom roms made performance comparable in a lot of ways (quadrant scores much higher on note though - 2900ish)

............adw for landscape.............who used the dell stage launcher anyway?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
I used the Streak for 1.5 years. It was a good device only because of what DJ_Steve and Fards did. It did have it's quirks though which one just learned to deal with. The note, at least to me, is far superior than the Streak. I can't wait to see ICS running on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ucanthang29:
The transition from the streak which I had from the first day it came out to the note is very natural..dual core speed...awesome camera...highest screen Res...huge battery....and lighter weight...the developers abilities on this device will far exceed what they were able to do on the streak and I really look forward to it. Glad I was a streak owner and now I am very excited about what prospects are ahead for development with this device....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jbirney:
I was a proud owner of a Streak right up until last Oct. I was flashing an update to one of DJ roms and managed to brick my streak. I had flashed soo many ROMs before that with out an issue :( Since I did need a phone, I got an SG2 to tide me over. The plan was all along to get the note as a replacement. Now the note is here, I had planned to wait and see how the custom ROMs would out before I jump. I did end up selling my streak for 30 bucks so it could be used for spare parts... RIP Streak you were a good phone! Bring on the G'Note! Now the choice is go international or AT&T. I will not have LTE in my area for a long time. I like the price of the AT&T..choices choices choices... Enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
I enjoyed my streak 5 for about a year before i sold it and upgraded to a g2x. Now I'm upgrading to the note and selling my g2x.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zancro:
I used a Streak 5 as a daily driver for over a year and was highly impressed with its versatility - phone quality was good, ereading easy, web browsing OK, but what killed it for me was the lack of Dell/AT&T support and respect. Had either followed through I would still be using the Streak. I do hope Samsung/AT&T do a better job of keeping the Note current and relevant. BTW, the camera is MUCH better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dflohr:
Had the Streak for over a year. A mostly love/sometimes hate relationship but sure got used to the size.

The G-Note is in a completely different league. No looking back.

Best parting gift of the Streak is that I sold it for $250 and paid $150 for the G-Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
Yes I sold my streak for 225 and got the note for 150 and a free flip case.

I also came from a Streak that I had since Oct '10. I just sold it on ebay with Otterbox Commuter and zagg invisishield and of course everything it came with for $260.

I am still getting used to Portrait Mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alperin1:
Folks, you know you can load a launcher and still use this thing in landscape. I have been using VTL Launcher and love it. It can be had for free if you can find the forum here at XDA. If I remember correctly it is ADW that has been modded and you can use all the themes from ADW.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Use an alternate launcher that allows landscape. I know you will have to leave auto rotation on, but you should be able to set up your phone for landscape and just always hold it like that.

Edit: also, I'm pretty sure there are landscape lockscreen replacements available as well. I think widgetlocker has this option? Could be wrong, haven't used it in forever. I'll check.

I came from a streak to sgs 2 then now the note and i will probably never go back to anything smaller just not worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pappyfire:
I bought the Streak the day I got the email for pre-ordering it. Was fairly happy with it until my 2 year old grandson got hold of it. Then I got the Galaxy S2 WAY too small after using the Streak, used it for a couple of months until the Note became available. Really really loving the Note, I think it's even better than the Streak was!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Barry (NJ):
Loved my Streak, but the camera was horrendous. On the Note the camera is much, much better, and the 4g speed is really nice! So I'm very happy, though I'll be a bit sad when the ebay auction for my Streak is up and I've got to send it off to its new owner...

P.S. I'm not going to miss the cable connection to the Streak either, that to me was its biggest flaw. I'm very happy that the Note uses a standard Micro-USB connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eghoti1:
Hated the Streak for its sluggish speed and bugginess plus what felt like top heavy use when using one handed. I never felt like I had a good grip on the phone and I have large hands. I love the Note for it's responsiveness and onehanded use. I think the width helps with stablizing it in my hand and I use the fingers to brace underneath the phone while typing with the thumb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esco757:
Shhhh don't say that too loud, the newbies getting used to the form factor might skeet themselves :D if you compare the streak to the note. But honestly I think the streak has kept me @ bay from buying the Note until furthur notice. Just when I was about to lay down the streak & pick my note up some Koreans ported CM7 & MIUI and now geek'n out a CM9 Rom for the streak so I'm good for now...Until that gets old;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unhurt:
After a year and a half of the streak i still has people ask me all the time "is that a phone?"

Dell didn't market it much. Glad to see Samsung run with the form factor.

I've converted an iphone user and 2 small phone users since having this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esco757:
Same here bro... And really happy Samsung is keeping "the 5 Alive", The Note is the Opus One in my eye's :o...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vanemburghj:
Would not call myself convert, I am just a devotee of the 5" screen. If nobody else produced 5" screen would have kept my Steak until it died. Performance wise no comparison, Note is better all the way around. However do agree that overall "feel" is not a sturdy as the Streak, but I guess we will find out just how sturdy it is......Co-worker is iToy lover, but he just can’t get past the 5.3” goodness the Note is. His personal vow is if iToy doesn’t come out with at least 4” screen he is jumping over to either Skyrocket HD (4.6”) or the Note. Again guess I will see…..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nystreak:
I recognize your name from the streak modaco forums. I had a skyrocket after the streak, and before the note. The streak kept me happy for over a year cuz I liked flashing dj steves roms all the time. I don't see the note doing that unless the ics update is really good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Reclaim:
The Note is essentially an upgraded phone with 5 inch screen from the streak. I'll go where the screen size is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
I bought my Streak a tad over a year ago when Dell was selling them for $200 on their site. Before the getting the Note, I still experimented with different phones...just out of pure curiosity.

But even though some of them had far better performance than the Streak (like GS2 & G Nexus)...I just had too many issues giving up the huge screen.

I'm still keeping my Streak mainly as a 'souvenir' type of back-up.

EXACTLY! Well said my friend.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macqueyl:
I got my Streak when Best Buy first started selling them & my wife swore I was going to divorce her for that phone! Now, we are going through it again with the Note LTE! I can't even imagine having a phone with a smaller screen or less power. Simply put, I love this AMAZING phone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juzz86:
I went back to my Streak just for giggles last week, and ended up using it for four days - reinstalling all my apps and everything. Out of all the phones I've had (pretty much everything), I am fondest of the Streak and the time I had with it.

That sounds silly, I know :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
Haha, I still have SimpleStreak 1.2 installed on mine.

To me, it definitely looks more like a tablet, hence the "5' tablet' label on the box. Whereas the Note looks more like a phone.

I definitely like the feel of the Streak more with its metal body...vs the plastic Note (this is both without a case on).

But, using a simple TPU case on Note basically nullifies that 'cheap feel.'

I'm glad I had a friend who had purchased one before me. Otherwise I most likely would have never heard about it.

I remember many people thought I was insane to be using a Dell phone (they were citing Dell as strictly a PC vendor...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] juzz86:
Yeah, noone at my end had ever seen a Dell phone, either. I also have a Venue Pro here (WP7 slider). Dell's build quality on their devices is very good, they're solid and polished handsets.

Nah it doesn't, I'm the same way, had it since day 1 and it has really helped me curb the temptation of shelling out $300 for the Note (CM7 is helping a lot w/ that)...Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind picking one up, I'll either hold out til the Note price drops and all bugs are taken care of, hop to to the SIII, or maybe (BIG maybe) the Streak gets Custom ICS (CM9 also) and hold on even longer... We'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Like the rest, I still love my streak and will always have a special place in my heart. In fact it has a special place on my development bench for a project my friend and I are working on. Switching over to the note was a no brainer for me. The difference in some places are major and minor in others. the build quality for one on the streak I feel was far superior than the note, I dropped it a couple times without a case and the worst that happened was a scuff and a popped back plate. I think if I drop the note it feels like I'd loose a corner. The speed between the note and streak isn't much of a difference to me but only because I ran a custom rom on my streak and am still stock on the note because I want to wait for ICS and compare that to the cooked ICS roms. Lastly for me is the camera, I didn't care for it at all on the streak but love it on the note. I do miss my camera button that was on the streak.

@juzz86: Yup no one knew about the streak, not even my Dell reps that I worked with. I finally met a rep who had told me that the phone wasn't actually intended for consumer use and was built and supposed to be focused on medical offices and was built by their business division rather than the consumer which is where it got it's tough build from.

All in all, I love both devices and though the streak has been retired from active duty, it's my dev device and my backup phone.

I had no intention in getting rid of my Streak for a Note until I somehow shattered the screen on mine. :mad:

We had a great 1-1/2 years together but when it broke on a Sunday afternoon. I put my SIM in my old HTC Tilt 2 phone to make a call. About 10 seconds later I threw it down in disgust and beelined to the AT&T store hoping they were still open. I don't wish the 5" withdrawal tremors on my worst enemy, although paying $325 with tax was pretty painful.. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] toyfreak:
This is exactly the path I have taken with a Galaxy Tab 7 (voice enabled through an Overcome ROM) thrown in for good measure. Like Goldilocks, too small, too big, then just right!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
I too went from Tilt II to the Streak. Both were great phones, but Streak was a game-changer.

I always used the Streak in landscape mode and I'm not sure why, but I find myself using the Note in portrait mode. I guess my brain thinks its a phone instead of a tablet.

One feature that the Tilt had that I'm surprised the Note doesn't is that the Tilt could sense when you removed the stylus and launch an app automatically. That would be a super useful feature for the note. I had the Tilt set up to make a sword "shing" sound when removing the stylus- too funny... :p

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cbass:
Yeah, I'm another streak convert. Mine was more forced than desired (though, the desire was there... contract isn't up for early renew until July)

Dropped my streak off my desk at work on wednesday accidentally, go to best buy for a black tie replacement... no more black streaks. Awesome. Not about a white phone, I work in the tire business, that thing would look ruined right away. After some careful wording with the store manager, they sold me a note out of contract for a phenominal price.

Now the question is... in July, when I can renew my contract... do I get a phone, and flip it on the bay? Do I save my upgrade for something awesome later? Do I get another note and tape them together?

The dell streak5 was a very good product and a real great design from the date of release . The only downside was the hardware and software. I remember when dell launched the product it was runny on android 2.1 "eClair" and more depressing it only had 1ghs first Gen snapdragon. So the CPU +gpu was old from 3years ago technology. However I love the design and the 5" screen. I love the idea of a phone/tablet=phablet. So I wouldn't be surprised that the hard core streak fans would def migrate to the galaxy note with a bigger display better design and most of all better CPU/gpu and of cause a real styles
