Yeah right, "stuck" with the n900, lol... I'd argue that you don't really need the tab with an n900 in your pocket. It's a waste of money.

Isn't the main point of the Tab having a much bigger screen than a phone for a more enjoyeable browsing and media viewing experience? So the N900 with its tiny <4 inch screen is a totally different experience from the Tab. If it had a 5 inch screen like Dell Streak I would be more inclined to agree with you.

Yeah, but the Dell Streak is a monster. These devices are fine if you're not worried about them being not quite portable.

Easier/better to root and install AdFree imo, kills nearly all ads in all apps (including Angry Birds), as well as when browsing. The best reason to root the Tab for me.

Now you are talking total crap. I have a Streak and it is a portable as any other phone including an iPhone.

Please stop spouting uninformed opinionated rubbish as though it were fact. I don't care how self important it makes you feel.

BTW Angry Birds is just great on the Streak and, when I am through with playing, the phone slips unobtrusively back into my shirt pocket.

Someone's getting worked up. Just because you don't think it's big, doesn't mean it really isn't. I don't care how big your pockets are. You'll get funny looks if you use the streak as a phone (but I'm sure you know that already).

Think I would feel a million times worse and be much worried what people think of me using an iphone than a Dell Streak. The Dell Streak may not make me look cool but it would at least make me look like an individual rather than someone who follows the crowd. And who cares what people think if you have a great big screen for browsing and media consumption.

I didn't mean it like that at all. That was just to show that I'm obviously not alone in thinking it is indeed a big device.

Yep! I recommend getting z4root, tap the ROOT button and download, install and run the AdFree app. It makes life very, very bearable again. Rooting also opensyou up to being able to run TitaniumBackup so you can back-up all your apps and uninstall the crapware they forced down your gullet. HIGHLY recommended with very, very little downside.

The downside being, you also don't get calls when you want them. :P I'd rather be able to choose how I'd want my game interrupted or not.

I'd argue the N900 was a true waste of money. How's that Flash 10.1 coming? Updates? I've had my Droid for well over a year, now, and although I had been told it's not supposed get Android 2.3, there's already a copy of 2.3 for Droid floating around and being tested. I expect the Tab will get much of the same community support. MeeGo is still an iffy prospect, near as I can tell, but I hope it turns out well. On the other hand, Android updates are a tangible reality, not a far-flung future hope.

I'd argue that the Dell Streak is, indeed, a BIG device! HUGE! ...but still very portable. My Samsung Galaxy Tab fits wonderfully in my pockets and it's HUGE! I imagine the Dell Streak is that much more portable while giving a far better big-screen experience than the N900. Ironically, the Streak seems like a smaller unit over-all than the N900. Bigger screen, thinner and smaller body. Oh the irony. You seem to have posted far more about this than any one person in these several posts on this subject. NOW who's the one getting worked up?

Gee, I don't know. You are? I don't feel the need to justify my purchase on every single thread like you do. I don't go to droid forums troll their devices like you do either.
