actually i did miss my SGT when i hand it to the guy. the SGT is an excellent 7inch gadget.. too bad I need a smaller one to receive/call that allow me to hold by one hand. and Streak has the ear piece & SGT only has loud speaker (without using ear set or bluetooth).

think to get iPad 16gb wifi 2nd hand for my tablet usage since it is so cheap now. btw my set is Starhub set.. need to flash to custom room to get rid of the telco pre-installed apps.

If you want to get ipad , go for at least 32 GB . 16GB you have only about 10GB space only to install apps. Also if you are planning to do any work creation on ipad - forget about it. It is a consumption gadget not so for work. The keyboard editing will kill your interest to do any work straightaway. It takes up to 1 sec or more just to edit a letter - if you are skill maybe slightly shorter

ops, thank for the advices. i never use ipad before, even apple products never used. so just might want to try a cheaper tablet.

my purpose of this tablet, view photos, light game, browse net, light email, view powerpoint presentation file, view pdf, doc, excel. is that suitable? 16gb or 32gb

The price difference is not much between 16 gb and 32 gb. Get the 32 GB. The ipad does NOT come with any office suite. You have tyo buy iworks US$9.99 each ( pages, numbers , keynote ) ie total US$30 OR if you prefer closer to Windows MS Office get either Docs to Go or Quickoffice - US$ 17. But if powerpoint is important, better buy extra KEYNOTE US$9.99 as the powerpoint feature from DTG or QO has some formatting issues in displaying Microsoft Powerpoint slides properly - again this depends on how formatted or complex the slide is
The email in ipad is hopelesssly slow in downloading email - the tab is almost instant while the ipad for ordinary mail without attachment - you need to wait 1-2 secs , with attachment at least 3 to 5 secs and more if attachment very big. If you have attachments on email on ipad you will have another big problem handling it as file management in ipad is restricted. You need to buy other apps to have better management of the files. I can go on and on talking about why you should not use ipad to do work. Use it to play games, watch movies great. But then movies again you need convert to apple approved format. If you use other format , you need to buy other apps to view it and the results are often not good
You ned to buy Goodreader which is a very good PDF and other file viewer management tool - is worth every sen and is said to bea com[pulsory app to buy if you wish to handle files esp PDF

It was for all these reasons I give up the ipad as it is hopeless for work purposes - the TAB is way ahead of it in such respects

sweat.gif i aim ipad because of its cheap price now. but since u already mentioned few points especially need to 'buy' this 'buy' that apps. scare me off.

else.. SGT 10'1 thumbup.gif

Not really , I just got my Tab and flashed it . Almost the same except Tab uses Odin and Streak more to FlashBoot . Both , once u got CWM , u r good to go  .... Go for the latest 1.8.1 but presume 1.8.2 might be coming soon . Ask Benny for his blog , saw him posted a very detail instruction to flash it with drivers included to dl  rclxms.gif

thank you wink.gif

i get this rooted streak with froyo 2.2 starhub official. quadrant score only get 700+.. so low = ="

It doesn't matter. If is Starhub, 9.9/10 he uses SuperOneClick to root it
The official Froyo is quite laggy. On Stephen customized rom above 1.5.1 , quadrant easily can hit 1700 above
*
later night i will flash to 1.8.1 following your blog instruction.

any steps i need to be extra cautious?

Good to know everything's running smoothly. Just follow benny's guide on his blog. I followed it, but being a n00b landed into some problems which was rectified later on.

Anyways, Happy Birthday!
*
hah thankyou.

btw what does this meant in 1.8.1 xda thread? because benny's guide does not mention about it.

>>

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO THE BELOW BASEBAND FOR 1.5.1+
Baseband File Download:
Primary Download Site: http://downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve/amss.mbn

Currently your Baseband is 320 right? Don't have to upgrade then. If I am not mistaken the baseband that is on the XDA thread is 318. Correct me if I am wrong fellas.
*
ok, think will just follow benny's guide,

flash to hk official rom to upgrade baseband to 322

then flash streakmod recovery

then flash djsteve 1.8.1

strange,

i skipped the STEP 1 : Install the Official Stock Recovery :
because I am on official 320 rom

so i just download the HK rom (322) , put in the root of msd card.
apply update from sd card.

failed.

not sure why this happen

You must install the "official" recovery to flash new radios and rom. The original recovery does not allow you to flash roms. Official roms can only be updated OTA as Dell does not want users to flash rom themselves !!
*
ops, ok then i will download the offical recovery hehe thank you.


Added on March 19, 2011, 1:33 amstill downloading the android 2.2 api8 revision 2 in android sdk & avd manager ...zzz didnt expect need to so many files before flashing =.="

that's why i said it is more complicated than flashing in SGT.

After you have setup your ADK and the rest; subsequent rom flashing is just flash the zip file from card . The Androik SDK and all the fastboot files you have installed can be used for pushing commands at terminal for other Android phones too
*
now problem came out.. i never use the ADK or SDK thing, alredy fnished dl the android 2.2 ( i choose this to download only )

so what i need to do now? if u dont mind can give me a link or steps to follow blush.gif
