Price Challenge: Dell Streak

Considering the fact that I am reviewing and helping everyone find the sabsecheapest price of the Dell Smart phones these days, I won’t let this chance pass by without talking about my life at Dell or if I may passionately call it PerotSystems (though formerly). Initial days at PerotSystems, like any other Software Services company, were like a Honeymoon period or if I can say as, an extension of the college days. Sessions were missed, morning movie shows, Tennis, AOE and CS all through the day and till the wee hours, planning of the outstation trips and definitely the GYAAN from the Academy guys of how important these training sessions are and how much harm and damage, this inconsiderate behavior of ours can do to our career; this pretty much summed up the first 6 months at the company. More of this, I would be revealing later in the subsequent blogs.

Now that we are emotionally engrossed in this discussion, let’s move over to our business of finding the sabsecheapest price.

For today I have selected another of Dell’s smartphone and the last in my Dell series (for now, wish more to come), Dell Streak.

Dell Streak is a device whose 5-inch display makes it either a very large smartphone or a very small tablet computer. The centerpiece of the Dell Streak is its 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel (WVGA) capacitive touchscreen. Previously known as Mini 5, it uses the Android 1.6 and comes with two cameras, a 5MP one with dual-LED flash on the back and a VGA one on the front for video calling. It has 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512 MB SDRAM, GPS and Wi-Fi.

Dell Venue Pro

I continue to work in Dell and so these Dell Phones continue to remain my favorites and thus continues the review of these Dell Smart phones and the search for the sabsecheapest price. 

Talking about Dell, the first thing that comes to my mind is PerotSystems, which was actually the company I worked for. Dell thought of entering into the technology services industry (considering the saturation in the hardware industry and also taking cue from HP foraying into the services business) and thus happened the buyout of PerotSystems by Dell Inc. 

Getting back to the business of hunting down the sabsecheapest price, I took up today another of the Dells Smart phones series – Dell Venue Pro

Before I start discussing the phone specifics and start digging into the technical stuff, I want to make an honest confession. Among all the queries, reviews and price discount questions I have been getting, being a Dell employee, maximum have been targeted at Dell Venue Pro.

This phone features a 4.1” AMOLED touchscreen, 1GHz QSD8250 Snapdragon processor, 5-megapixel auto-focus camera, 8GB internal storage, 512MB RAM, 1GB ROM, GPS, FM Radio and full Flash support including playback.

With its angular cutouts, chrome trim plated sides, and sturdy pattered plastic rear casing, everything about the Dell Venue is characteristically appealing to look at and hold. Even though it’s not the slimmest (0.51” thick) or most compact (5.78 oz) thing we've seen, it’s nevertheless able to capture my attention with its refined design elements.

• Features: Microsoft Windows Phone 7, Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon, 1 GHz Scorpion
• Size & Dimension: 122 x 63.5 x 15.2 mm; 192.8 g
• Display: AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors, 480 x 800 pixels, 4.1 inches (~228 ppi pixel density), QWERTY keyboard with Gorilla glass display
• Memory: 8/16 GB storage, 512 MB RAM, Card Slot - microSD, up to 32 GB
• Camera: 5 MP, 2592х1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, Video – Yes, 720p
• Data: 3G - HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, Bluetooth – Yes, USB – Yes
• Stand-by talk Time: Up to 7 h
• Proximity sensor, light sensor and digital compass
• Integrated GPS
• Dedicated, touch-sensitive Back, Start, and Search areas
• FM Radio
• 3.5 mm headset jack

Now that we’ve discussed some of the technical aspects of the phone , let’s get to the basic question as to “ HOW MUCH ??“.

Dell Venue

Sorry followers for not being able to update the blog since last 5-6 days. Things happen around us, some of them are good and few of them are sad. But as the saying, 'Show must Go On' , we are back with the usual high spirits we carry with our self. 
Getting to the business, it’s been days I have been thinking of reviewing the new range of smart phones by Dell; and here I am, starting to write about the Dell Venue and trying to find the sabsecheapest price for this phone available from any online mobile store.

Working in Dell, I am fascinated towards and at the same time a bit biased towards these family of smart phones. So pardon me, if I go overboard with the specifics or somehow hiding the minor flaws.

Many of my friends have been asking about these phones; specially when I can offer them a modest discount of 8 – 10 % on these devices *one of the very few benefits of being in Dell*

 Once known as the Thunder, the Dell Venue is an Android 2.2 Froyo smartphone which features a large and chromatically rich 4.1-inch, 800×480 AMOLED touchscreen. It packs a 1GHz QSD 8250 processor under the hood, and can potentially carry up to 32GB of data via an extendable microUSB card. The 8-megapixel camera is a mixed bag full of settings — white balance, flash, exposure, multiple focus modes and color effects; all make the Venue's camera one of the most full featured phone cameras around.

• Features: Android OS, v2.2 (Froyo), 1 GHz Scorpion
• Size & Dimension: 121 x 64 x 12.9 mm; 164 g
• Display: AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors, 480 x 800 pixels, 4.1 inches (~228 ppi pixel density)
• Memory: 512 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM, Card Slot - MicroSD, up to 32GB
• Camera: 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels, autofocus, LED flash, Video - Yes, 720p
• Data: 3G - HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, Bluetooth – Yes, USB - Yes  

Let’s get to the important task now, which is to find the best (= sabsecheapest) online price for Dell venue from any online store. Here's the listing of websites in descending order of prices    offered and all these players do not charge for delivering the product.
