Just curious if you have any info on a release here in the states? I've been only casually following the Streak news since I picked up the N1 a month ago.
I'm still not 100% sold on the Streak. I'm a tad leary of Dell (in the smartphone arena), unsure of what crap AT&T will put on it...and a bit concerned about the goddamn massive screen.... But I really want to play with one of these bad boys and see if I can deal with it.
Anyway, I'll keep checking in to see if we get release dates and prices.

Unfortunately no I do not. One time when bugging the Dell sales chat someone said "check around the first or second week of July". More than likely Dell will just randomly place the Streak on their US online department like they just did for the unlocked version for the UK.

I completely agree with you about being a bit leary of Dell in the smartphone arena. But the way I look at it, a good product is a good product. I really think Dell hit the nail on the head with this product. Of coarse if this is an AT&T launch the Streak will be loaded with AT&T crap and locked. Good thing Paul has already rooted this thing, but no ROMs as of yet. To this day I refuse to purchase cell phones from a service provider like AT&T. Due to their data charges because they know you have a smartphone and the bs branding of AT&T everywhere. Plus dealing with cell phone retail sales rep really blows here in the states.

Rumor has it, the Dell Streak will be available for $500.00 dollars unlocked on their website. To me, that is an insanely good buy!
By the way, check this out: at least Dell is making some noise somewhere in the states about the Streak. To bad it is to crappy highschoolers!

Same here, but it seems good so far (24 hrs of use )
Thanks, man. After just shelling out 529 plus tax for the N1... Eh, I still want to play with the Streak. Might end up getting one. And on the screen...I guess I have mixed emotions, ya know? 5" sounds great, don't get me wrong. Just worried about the pocketability (oh hell yeah) if it. But I'll always have the Sexy Nexy for the times when I need something a little slimmer.

Good to hear! I'm a bit concerned about the issue of scratching around those touch keys (home, menu, etc). The good thing about phones getting released in Europe first is that we yanks get to spend a month or so reading lots of hands on reviews from real users.
Yeah and time for Dell to change the unit itself to be better! As we saw with the HD2!

Well I guess this is good news cuz hopefully this means accessories will be sold at best buy and we could get to see them before powering their ridiculous prices. Hopefully the usb cable will get a price drop as well.
As for froyo, not gonna hold my breath on that one...

This is great. I've met so many people that have never even heard of the Streak it's sad. I even had to tell a cust support rep AT AT&T what a Streak was and how I got it. This, too, will get a little more third party (accessories, custom roms, etc) interest focused on this beast of a phone.

Well Micheal Dell himself said this is soon to be sold in Best Buy, so I trust this is not a rumor. Then again he did say the Streak would be avalable for @ the end of June & for $500.

This is a good thing. It will give people a chance to play with the phone before they purchase it. Perhaps we may also see a price drop .......

in the UK dell sells sim free for £449 but o2 PAYG is £399 !!!
You can easily get o2 Streak from Amazon for just 349 pounds, which is really much better than 399 wish I knew that before I bought mine

My local bestbuy got them in today. She said to come back in a few days and i can play with one. They havent unboxed them yet or nothing yet.
Doesnt make much sense. You get a phone like that in, that people have been waiting to see and touch, and you take a couple days to get them out and available? Stupid
Its official ladies & gentlemen. The Dell Streak has arrived @ Best Buy. Hopefully this means more consumer awareness & more support from Dell!!!!!!!!
Picked mine up today and I LOVE the screen it's gorgeous, but I'm having some issues charging it right now - hopefully it sorts itself out soon.
well i do not think there will be any support from dell just like their laptops welcome to the world of dell

I noticed my Best Buy had them, one of the blue shirts came over to pester me, and she said are you interested in this, I said no, I already have one, you took to long to get them, so I bought it directly from Dell.

Yea it's like Best Buy is overwhelmed with new phones. Lots of new phones are pouring in. I called the store and they said they didn't have 'em in stock yet so I went up there. There was a little display at the end of the aisle with NO demo model in it--it wasn't even charged. I asked and the guy didn't even know what it was. After I held it I fell in love with it. They could tell me NOTHING about the device-I was actually educating them. All they could say was "That's a big a$$ screen!"
Yea...I get that a lot!
LMAO went to the best buy mobile in the mall yesterday and the sales girl kept saying its a small tablet. We said its a phone and she don't believe me. The other sales girl had to correct her and we explained that it is a phone and can make calls and stuff. She felt like a moron.

I am very interested in purchasing a Dell Streak and use it as a phone. I have heard both good and bad about it. I am over all impressed with the device and the pros outweigh the cons. Seeing that it is selling for 400 dollars on dell.com i am willing to invest in one after some knowledge from members within the streak forum. I'm have a Samsung Captivate and its ok but the usability isnt as good. I bricked the Captivate and unbricked it and got a replacement and I just set it down and went back to my blackberry until i found the perfect android phone and the streak seems to be it. Please give me details i should know about. (P.S. I love the red colored streak it reminds me of my Atlanta Falcons!!)
This is one of the FEW devices that can compete with the iphone & truly oudue it. Same speed processor, dual cameras, bigger screen, mobile hotspot feature built in(for 2.2 devices), dual flash with camera, can be seen/used in landscape & portrait modes. Also outclasses the Captivate, or ANY BLACKBERRY.
Feel free to chime in fellow Streakers!!!

The Streak is by far the best all in one device I have ever owned. My netbook hardly gets used anymore. For 99 bucks with a contract, it is a no brainer. I was a WinMo user for the past 10 years but after this device, I will never go back.
Could you post a link to the $400.00 Dell Streak that you see on sale?
I see a 199.00 with a 2 year contract, but the full price is still 549.00
Thanks!
My Captivate officially became the back-up phone, now that I have a device that the gps works.
I loaded the thumb keyboard on my Streak yesterday, and now I can actually type on a touchscreen in portrait mode with my size 17 fingers!
The only thing I use my laptop for now other than to hack/tweak is to download our tv shows so I can watch them using an S-video cable on the tv at the house...
Not to mention the looks and comments that such a big device gets, and the general feeling of superiority it gives you when you tell people that yours is bigger than theirs...and can actually prove it...

It seems that the replacement captivates have the gps working. My replacement one has a working gps and i mean tracking not just locking on. I might keep the cappy as a back up since it is rare to find one with a working gps. Well unless someone just gives me the right amount of cash of course.

I have not followed the Streak development for some time now.
Is the Streak on sale now really unlocked?
Can you use any SIM card on it?

I tried to order the *unlocked* Streak 16GB version on Dell.com but when I try to checkout, it only accept shipping address in the US. There's no option to ship to Canada. The Dell.ca doesn't seem to have the *unlocked* version
Anyone have any suggestion?
I was browsing through slickdeals and found that dell is selling the Streak for $199 off contract unlocked, ATT 3g. For those of you who want to make an extra buck or have been eyeing this tablet/phone for awhile, head on over.
Sorry if I'm advertising, this just seems like a good deal so I wanted to share with everyone here.

or if ur planning to get a new computer from dell anyways, the streak will cost you an extra 99$

Damn! Missed this. That's a phenomenal deal considering the unlocked version has + support for both AT&T and T-Mobile. At that price I'd sell my Nexus S and move back to a Streak.

I sold mine too - to CEX in the UK. I traded it in for a galaxy tab and bought a much smaller phone (xperia x8). On the thought process that I could use a proper sized phone for daily use and the galaxy tab for all the other stuff...
How wrong was I...
I found after all this time being a Streaker that the x8 was underpowered even changing to 2.3 didn't help and the galaxy tab was too big to take anywhere without a bag so barely got used.
I missed my Streak so much I went and traded it all back in again and bought my old Streak back!
Bought 2nd Dell Streak
Love my Dell Streak so much I bought a 2nd one.
Had a Moto Xoom Tablet, felt like a poser carrying the tablet around.
Sold the Xoom, it did nothing the Streak couldn't do. And I can have the streak with me anywhere unlike a 10" tablet.
Keep your Streak!
Add me to those who are Streakless.
I replaced the Streak as my everyday phone back in December and sold my Streak on eBay recently. I went with the mini-Streak (Dell Venue, the best Android phone no one has heard of). The Venue is essentially a Streak with a 4.1 inch screen. If anyone wants an unlocked phone that is a smaller version of the Streak keep an eye on the Dell outlet pages, they sell the Venue refurbished for $179 when they have them. I am riding the trailing edge of Android innovation!
I wanted a smaller everyday phone but really liked the Streak, the Venue fits my needs.
We also purchased an Android tablet right before Christmas which I use for many of the things I used to use the Streak for at home.
For over a year I have visited this area of XDA almost everyday and read nearly every post. I'm sure I keep hanging around a while longer, but my participation will drop off.
If you are new to the Streak and come across this post I want to remind you that all of the information you need to mod your phone is right here. Search and read - then do ti again. There is a lot of info and you need to read it in detail.
Thanks to all who made using the Streak a better experience by sharing their knowledge and for having the patience to help the new people along.
