Tablet/Phone or Phone/Tablet Hybrids

I have been looking for a tablet that I can also use as a phone. I don’t mind carrying a 5″-10″ tablet, and using it as a phone. It’s easier for me that way than having to carry a phone and a tablet.

Here’s a list of my candidates:

1) Dell Streak 5

2) Viewsonic ViewPad 7

3) Dreambook W7

4) Samsung P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7

5) Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab
