Guest spacecat46 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 After having my streak for a year now I have got used to its size Last week I bought a galaxy tab for my long commute to work and browsing round the house its superb. I have put gingerbread on it and there is a honeycomb alpha My streak works excellently as a wireless modem for my tab when I am out and about and is still very handy when the tab is not practical to use and I don't need a second data plan My streak feels like a little phone now :)

My Streak feels small now as well. I have hacked the Tab to do voice calls and I am trying to use it as my only device before selling the Streak. So far so good... BTW that's still the same Streak that resided under snow in my backyard for a couple of days... Still going strong!

I was interested in hacking it for voice calls, but a little concerned about AT&T getting whiny. The Tab does look nice, I could still pocket it in most of my pants.(although it would be fairly noticeable). It is kinda thick though, if it were a bit thinner, I probably would get it. I feel something nicer will come right around the corner soon.

Its not doing them any harm whatsoever (In fact they profit from it :P)
Guest shi3ld Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 I dont see why they would care, they provide your SIM contract, surely doesnt matter what hardware it works with, what if you had to replace your handset for example. I would like to know if this can be done as I'm considering buying one, maybe sim free, but need to be able to make calls. I have looked on other forums but still not sure if its possible!

Guest shi3ld Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 You will need the 3g version of course ;) Thanks, I'll have a read. I knew I would and noticed the difference in price with the wifi only ones :(
Guest vinsane Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 I went from a modded tab on Tmobile US with phone conversion...the Tab was a beautiful device... But began to get rather bulky to use daily as a phone too. So i got the AWS version of the Streak and love it! I don't regret it at all. Plus.. I hated being only on edge while using the phone function... Then having to reboot to get 3G.
