Desire HD or Dell Streak

H

Hi,
I am looking for my first Android phone in the 25-30k range.
I have shortlisted the Desire HD and the Dell Streak but I am not able to decide which one to go for.
Looking out for expert opinions, more so from the ones who have used any of these 2 mobiles...

Camera is not much of a concern, as I use a DSLR for clicking images.
Video recording is also not much important for me.

Do let me know your inputs/experiences with the following:

Heard a lot about DHD battery issues? How has your experience been?
Issues faced with DHD battery covers? .. Streak LCD screen under the Gorilla glass?
Syncing with outlook for my corporate mails is of utmost importance.
Will the Streak be getting Gingerbread?
How much memory space is available on DHD for the apps (out of the 768 MB RAM).
How much memory is available on the Streak for apps installation.
Is the Otterbox impact case for these phones available somewhere in Delhi?

Thanks

ditch both and try Dell Venue. Venue is much better that both these two. Do note that D:HD has poor display and pathetic battery life.

Nexus S please...

None.Source a nexus S.

I am aware of battery issues and comparatively bad display of DHD
But whats the problem with Dell Streak ?
My heart wants to go for the Streak... its size being the pros and cons both.

Nexus S is from Samsung right .. How much is it available for?
Is it listed on Flipkart ?

I don't think Nexus S will be available in India anytime soon. I am also awaiting its launch. None other than Nexus S for me

Imported (probably). Costs about 38k.

If u can afford it, take dell streak.. i loved the demo of the device too.

cant say abt battery life, but 5" screen estate is really something...

Else u can pre-order SE Arc. I think it would pretty damn gorgeous too

Want more ram??? wait for SGS II release in 2 months.

5", though will be good initially, you will get irritated on day-to-day use. that is why a 4.1" Venue would be a better pick. Do not forget the 220gms weight of Streak. If you want a great phone, stick to something inside 4" display. If you want a tablet, get something atleast 7". Don't mix both.

5" screen size..then carry a separate briefcase for the phone...

4" is more than enuf... :grin:

Wait for some more time...and get Incredible S or Lg optimus 2 or SGS-II

The HTC has launched its Incredible S in India...So go for that...Or desire HD is good as Dell streak has some problems and also you wont be able to carry it in your jeans/trousers

I am aware of the Incredible S coming up.
And from what I have read on the internet,
HTC said that .. Incredible S is their offering between the Desire and Desire HD lines ...

But I think that Incredible S is better than DHD .. Is HTC talking only in terms of size ? or is really Desire<Incredible S<Desire HD :?:

N

^^^ Incredible S is better in battery mAh count than DHD, otherwise spec-list is almost identical

Hey how much is the cost of Incredible S??

it will cost under 27k

So which one is better...Incredible S or SE Arc....guess both cost the same...

HTC is company on which u can rely upon...The products of HTC are undoubtedly awesome..And cost of SE handsets keeps on going day by day...so one must opt for HTC...
I m not saying that SE is bad but HTC is better thats my personal opinion
