Absolutely love love love this device with the google-apps hack. Only a couple complaints.

1. didn't come with a charger and uses the super-rare mini usb-LIKE connection. Huge pain in the butt considering I own about 35 usb to mini-usb cords.
2. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get ADB to recognize the device.
3. it uses .aos instead of update.zip, no one makes custom roms
other than that thing is amazing, the processor is fast, screen is large but still fits in my pocket comfortably.

JUST STILL WAITING FOR 2.0 OR 2.1 ARCHOS

I didn't love it when I tried it out back in September, but I also had it before that big software update that corrected a bunch of the problems with it (and when I tried to install the update it actually ended up bricking the device). Wouldn't mind checking it out again, though it has hard to get over the resistive touchscreen, how are you liking it?

I got this device around Christmas and hated it. The interface didn't work well, forcing me to press multiple times to navigate through menus. The screen felt very very plastic-y and felt as though the plastic film they used to cover the screen would lift off ever so slightly from the panel behind it whenever I took my finger off it - terribly annoying. Also constant wifi connectivity problems and general usability frustrations...

What I did love was the DLNA support. It worked really well. They force you to pay extra for full codec support, which I thought was really cheap of them. I'm just hoping the Dell Streak has better build quality with good codec support and DLNA

Wait, it came without a charger? That doesn't make any sense.
