Streak experience / German release date ?! - Streak 5 General

Hi,
as you may mention I'm a german guy how is impatient of getting this nice bar in hands.
Atm I'm running a HD2 but this will be sold on thursday because of its OS, disregarded the progress in Android development.... you all know that this will never work cleanly.... not for the next year, so get the money the HD2 now is worth and don't let it addict.
SO... I wanne know if there is any release date of the Streak in Germany is leaked or better I wanne read some experiences you guys out there get with this likely device!
Please make me buff of what you know and what I like to know ^^
Maybe some specs who are not specified right or not accurate... like whats the material on the side where the buttons on or how long the battery will actually last, if you can use flashlight on taking photos, or maybe a video of the working approxi-sensor or the light sensor .....
something like that
best regards

Unfortunately Dell is really USELESS about release dates for the Streak. Constantly their online sales chat say they have no further information when I ask them about their US release date.
Their marketing for the product is rather bizarre, seems like they are doing it right in the UK though.
Eagerly waiting as well...

I've had my Streak for a few weeks and I love it.
The material where the buttons are is black glossy plastic. My battery lasts about 2 days with normal use, which is about 1.5x the battery life of my G1 (Dream).

Just come across an HTC Touch HD unboxing video and posted it on my blog, its not in English but some more eye candy to enjoy and it looks like the retail packaging which is a good sign that release is getting closer.
You can see it here http://www.mobiletechaddicts.com/2008/10/21/htc-touch-hd-unboxing-video/

Looked like he was having a few problems with the tf3d. Hope the interface is going to be smooth and responsive and not like the touch diamond!! The confirmed date for UK is the 9th Nov but this can apparantly move either way.

I think it´s that he let of his finger of the screen like someone said or that he got a old pre-release version. In the other video, it works great as said earlier!

Has sony given up on the X1?

Its the little things that i've been noticing about the X1
Spelling Mistakes on Panel download page and xperia.com "Mytopia Panle"]
Nearly all the links are broken on http://www.sonyericsson.com/x1 (UK)
CNN and Mytopia panel still listed at "coming soon"
It used to be free to call X1 Support line in UK - now you have to pay 10p/min
Under new software available it still says the latest is 02-13-2009 (on the UK site yet the date is in American format)
Seeing none of the new things in R3A too was annoying
Have they compleatly given up on the X1 because its as if they are not even trying - i signed up the the Sony Ericsson news on the x1 site - did they email me about the R3A update? Noooo
I have to get everything and news from XDA!
Have they given up on it?
maybe they don't keep the uk site uptodate

P1i too...
Well I'm selling my X1...loved it sooooo much but it has to go now before the value depreciates even more...
All links are working for me(using the dutch page)
personally i think its the uk SE have given up on. All the other sites seem to be uptodate and they get the releases quicker too.
living in England does have some drawbacks
no offence to anyone meant!

... they've probably dumped it in preparation for the X2.
The US site is months behind any other.
We don't have a R3 update.
We don't even have a CNN Panel download or "coming soon"
We have to buy the X1 outright because none of our carriers offer it.
X1a came out three months after the X1
I'm growing tired of SE.
I went through the same thing with the C902 that was rushed out with a lousy firmware. Had to change my CDA to a german code to update to a stable firmware.
I need to relocate!!!
i guess i made the right choice going to touch HD
How many more hints do we need that SE has moved on?
1) Updates are minimal and unannounced.
2) SE hasn't made any money. Revenue was "break even"
3) The CEO has already said that the X1 was a failure.
SE's minimal resources are probably being dedicated to the X2.

Me too, I am getting tired of my NAM firmware...sometimes I consider updating to the UK Rom, which I know is much better than NAM.
There is something about me though, I guess I am a nationalist. I'm losing hope for America though...I am tired of reading about europeans getting 5 brand new touch HD's for the family contract when in America we have to get a crappy "basic phone" with our family contract.
from myside, i returned to the r2a rom (uk). got pissed off by r3a. my keyboard became hard to press and other annoyances i got tired off, so i switched back to the old r2a, which did work well, at least for me. im thinking of losing this phone too. i am really in great dismay because i have been so excited getting this phone, only to find out that it sucks.

He doenst actually say that the x1 is a failure, just that it was "a kind of experiment" (direct quote there).... but I hope they dont withdraw their support as its a nice little phone... although I think I am due an upgrade soon so will probably change my phone to the latest new toy... uh I mean important and valuable tool for work (if the wife asks...!!!)
There were no words of "failure" there
so don't mess it up.

Who's already owning a LEO?

I remember some users on XDA have already a LEO.
Mayb they cane share there issues etc...
Or mayb we can ask them questions....
Think the end deviece won't change from to prototype.

Thanks for link.. Maybe first HD2 unboxing video in the world.. Very exciting...
But, look at 3:13 at video and you will see this is not a final product.. Maybe hardware is final but rom is not...
In addition to, Unfortunately, there is not a case or screen protector in the box

You are welcome, also no software or user manual plus the box looks very generic for the HTC box for this kind of Hardcore device.
I totally agree with you,any way is the only unboxing till the moment.
That is not the final packaging, for sure. But, as said by wonsanim, it's the only one unboxing video.
Final packaging could have more accessories and a more pretty box.
I actually don't care much about the lookings of the box. It will just stand in shelf for at least 2 years =)
I just hope it doesn't feel cheap, as this is a high-end device. Right now it does, looks like BigMac box quality -_-
And what's with those really cheap looking earphones? Though it's not a multimedia device (and most people probaly use their own earphones), such a device deserves better ones.

Where have you seen cheap looking earphones?
Here are those, in photo:
http://www.solopalmari.com/news/windows-mobile/7556-htc-hd2-e-gli-auricolari
Yep, I was talking about those =) Didn't see them in a picture, just shortly in the unboxing video. Maybe "cheap" was the wrong term, but those do not look like they are good headphones. Especially when they are delivered with those "foam hats" (or whatever they're called), seen in Video at about 2:03. That's usually an indication for "standard" (or "not so good") headphones.
At least that's what I think. Maybe (and hopefully) I'm wrong =)

Latest on 2.2 update

Reviews and hands on not out so far. Why?

Anyone here has any info on why there are not many reviews or hands on by any of the tech sites? We had more leaks and even reviews before the handset was released but even after 4 days of official announcement, there has not been much coverage about the device. Most of the tech sites only talk about the specs. That looks a little odd. Maybe there is some restriction on publishing reviews of the device till 13th?
Most likely the sites got their phones after the reveal on noonday, Androidcentral has got their unit and they were the ones who broke news about the GLONASS feature . Thus they need a couple of days to try it, probably under NDA until Google says so. They will probably time it with the delivery on the 13th or 17th or whenever it is supposed to launch they want to spread the hype over time to create mindshare and pick up some space in the news-cycle.

I read on a review site (forget where) that Google put a restriction that no official reviews can be published until this Friday... I think they want everyone to try the device for a longer period of time, which is better for us in the long run...

The reason is there was a huge hurricane on the east coast that caused Google to cancelled the press event in New York.

I think Google put an NDA on reviews till Friday, or at least one week, allow reviewers some quality time, get a good feel for the phone after a full week. Not just 24 hours.

This is exactly why. If you read the Android Police teaser review, you'll notice he says he had to run somewhere in New York to pick up the review phone Google had. These are the phones they'd have handed out if the press event had happened as planned, but with Hurricane Sandy cancelling the event, things have been thrown a little off-track. I'm ok with that, too, because the reviewers will have more time with the phone and can give us a more in-depth review.
Patience...
