The Dell Streak really shouldn’t work as a phone. It’s the biggest handset we’ve ever seen, 1980s Motorolas aside. It has a poor on screen keyboard and runs an outdated version of Android. And yet, if you’re a power user, prepared to move beyond the paradigms and traditions of how you “should” use a mobile phone, there’s no way you’ll be able to avoid falling in love with the thing. Find out what we mean, and if it’s for you in our full Dell Streak review.
Since we first saw the Dell Streak in hazy spyshots and leaked video way back in 2009, we’ve been wondering just what the company would pitch it as. It’s a huge slate, but it makes calls? Huh? In the end, it left O2 to deal with the branding, and the network is now pitching it as a, well, Dell Streak. So is this a replacement for your mobile, or an iPad rival with a hefty monthly contract?

The iPad has been on sale in the UK for less than two weeks, but already it’s getting hard to find Apple’s media-mad tablet on shop shelves. Here at Electricpig we’ve got ours (you can find out just what we think of it by reading our iPad review), but what about you? Have you been successful in your hunt for this elusive multitouch beast?
The new Lomo Spinner 360 camera lets you shoot 360 degree panoramic shots – and all for a lot less than the Sony NEX-5 and its (admittedly very impressive) Sweep Panorama mode. Read on for more on this quirky 35mm film camera.
With Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, the agile aristocrat returns in an all-new co-op arcade-inspired isometric adventure, available for digital download this summer. Forget what you’ve seen and heard of Lara’s previous outings. Tomb Raider this certainly isn’t. Read on for our hands-on impressions.
While iPhone 4 will be massive, the FaceTime video chat function won’t be. I’m not among the people moaning that other phones have included video calls for years or that iPhone 4 FaceTime calls will only be via Wi-Fi to begin with.
