[Q] Official Unlocked streak coming october 14? - Streak 5 General

can any one confirm this?
http://configure.us.dell.com/Dellst...DellStreakUnlockedSAP&prod=false&vw=icon&fb=1
i guess this is going to be the retail launch day when they´ll start selling at best buy. The prelimanary ship date says 10/14/2010. I was about to order my streak now and saw this, should i wait until the 14th? will there be any extras in the box? or should i order now and just call at&t and get an unlock code?

(please don't give me a price on ebay, because i need to buy the phone at the Tmobile store)

is it still available now? i heard that they're all out of stock..
I'm unsure. You have to order online or call.
out of stock online and stores. hv to wait for one week.
OMG then its finished for me..
my last chance is monday..
cause my cousin will be leaving at tuesday..
do tou guys think it is still possible?
my cousin is in seattle, and i havent heard from him since yesterday..
gosh i am so curious
I've been dying to get it, but it is out of stock..
I went today to T-mobile store in Pleat Hill (SF Bay Area), and it's still out of stock.
the rep said maybe by Monday, but he's not sure
thanks for the info duke911
my cousin is in seattle right now, but tomorrow he will leave and go to portland, and going back to seattle at monday.. maybe i'll try to contact him later, just hope that there will be new stock in monday..
also, i have a simple question.. i have to unlock the phone cause i will use it in asia, and i am wondering how is the unlock process? is it gonna tke a longtime? can i ask the retail store to unlock it for me without have to call and send a fax?
It sounds like u need the European/Asian version. It is much easier to get on Ebay and such.
yeah i think so, but my cousin just moved to USA, and he never had any experiences with ebay or anything like that.
so as far as i know, the only way is to ask him to go to the retail store and try to find one (or is there any other store that sell the phone without contract at the same price?)
i tried to ask, and finally had come to a conclusion that they will restock on monday, so i hope that i can still make it, cause that is my last hope..
thanks in advance
Some Radio Shacks carry them and still have a few in stock, so tell him to call around.
hi amb9800
thanks a lot for the info, it is very useful
the problem is i dont know if the radio shacks sells them without contract or not, cause i want to buy the non contract one, and ask them to unlock it
thx for the info anyway..

The reason why is the TMo US version will not give you 3G network in Asia or Europe. They make a version that does and it is highly available in Europe and Asia. The great thing is it works in both places so you should be covered. Truth is it would be a better phone for you from the information you've given us.
yeah i know that..
but anyway, i still prefer the Tmo US version, it comes with a bigger ROM size than the asian & european version, and it also comes with 16GB micro sd.. the Asian only comes with 8GB micro sd..
well, just called my cousin and turn out that he lives in Lynnwood seattle, and the nearest mall is alderwood mall, that has Tmobile retail shop there.. hope they have a new stock in monday..
Ebay?
Why don't you try ebay? You'll pay a little more of course, but at least HD2s are available for purchase.
as i already mentioned above, my cousin is just moved to US for 3 weeks, he doesn't know how to purchase something online (yet). so the only clue that i can give to him is to visit Tmo retail store. is there any news regarding the new stock?
Walmart
All Walmart stores sell the phone without contract for 500.00 outright plus sales tax if applicable.
thx polera257 for the info, but unfortunately my cousin is completely blind about the road maps and the only place that he can go to is the alderwood mall, lynnwood..
he is on his way to the mall to see if there's any HD2 spotted yet..
wish me luck guys.. i am so dying to have it..
I called T-mobile store today, and they said they did not receive any HD2s today
the lady said they received a bunch of different phones, but no HD2
she said that I should be notified when the device arrives since I'm on the waiting list
Man! I kinda feel like someone waiting for a heart transplant , this really sucks!
@ duke911
wow it really hurt me
until now, i cannot contact my cousin, we wouldn't reply my bbms.. so i don't know whether he got the phone (hopefully) or not..

US Dell Streak unlock?

Hi all:
Still waiting for my order and I will go to Buffalo to pick it up this weekend...I am going to use it on Telus (Canada). I saw the post that someone called but no luck getting the unlock code. Anyone else tried calling AT&T or Dell and got a different answer?
I don't mind paying to unlock via a code but hate using a rebel sim. Anyone know where in Canada or online that can get the phone unlocked by code?
Thanks in advance
Just finished talking to someone name Shaquellar in the Dell Mobility department. She confirmed that the unlocked Streaks will be out this week and she also said "we don't have a way of giving you an unlock code today but we will a little later this week." maybe if enough people call and speak to them in DELL MOBILITY they will put a rush on it .. But you gotta get to the Mobility department .. sales or orders are NO HELP AT ALL.
Thanks for the update!
I will give that a try....but I am not getting the phone until Saturday...
Please let us know again if you got anything.
Thanks again
Great! I will be trying that later this week also.. im going to pick the streak up from the fedex office later today.. i live in norway, so i really hope it will be possible to unlock it..
What is the phone number to the mobility center?
I need the number as well...I can't seem to find it on the website
shEEEsh can u post the number?
THanks

I think I have found the Streak Unlock ...

I am 99.9999% sure I found the person in the right department who will unlock our phones. She took all my info said she mails it to someone else who will mail her back with the unlock code.
Sound right doesn't it ? It's been 30 minutes. She said it could be an hour or so depending on the person who will provide the code, but she sounds like the real deal !! I will come back here about 6pm eastern time, I have an hour commute home, and if she could do what she says she can do I will give you her name and phone number ..
This is the first hope I have had. When I called her I said, before I return my Streak and maybe buy an unlocked one on eBay, is there anything you can do to solve my 'locked to AT&T problem? Before I could get the last words out of my mouth she jumped right in and said, "don't send it back .. I can get you an unlock code."
I said "Alright if I share you with the rest of the disappointed Dell Streak buyers" and she said 'YES .. this is no secret.'
If I get the unlock from her you can PM me and ask for her direct number .. Someone suggested I don't post a number here. They are right.

well haha if it does work send me her info in a pm, thatd be greatly appreciated
It is 6pm eastern. They are in Texas. I called a few minutes ago and she still hasn't gotten the code. She will be there another 2.5 hours .. FINGERS STILL CROSSED !! I apologized for being such a pest, but said "I have been holding this brick for 4 days now. I want to do more than just look at it." Mean while I am thinking .. Wait till the other calls start rolling in. If they are going to start unlocking, it would be a good idea to create some sort of online form .. type in our IMEI numbers and they can just email them to us. I asked her does she need to know what service I will be using and she said 'doesn't matter, it will be unlocked for all.'
This would be great news and help drive sales. More sales=more support from at&t and dell.....i hope.
Dell Rep didn't get back to me tonight. At first she said a few hours, then later she said it could be tomorrow .. In any case, I believe in her. When she said I will get you unlocked, it sounded as if I wasn't the first person she helped. I don't expect to hear from her tonight though... I am sure she is done for the day.
What unlock code are you talking about?

Of course it will happen... call centre reps ALWAYS call back when they say they are going to

i cant tell if thats sarcastic or not...
lets look at it this way. the device is released locked on or off contract so do you really think some random person is going to be able to just get a unlock code for it
doubtful.
Yep i doubt it too. I still live in hope...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Do you think that she'll only be able to provide unlock codes for US Streaks (if she will at all...)? Or also for UK versions locked to O2?
800 308-3355 Dell Mobility
They need this information from you ..
Service Tag #
Express #
IMEI #
Email address used to purchase
They will email you the unlock. I have NOT received mine yet. Promised I would have it yesterday. Now they are saying 24-48 hours.
Just want to add that if I called and got a Dell Mobility rep named Shaquallar [female] on the phone, I would hang up and call back. Take my word for it ..
So Dell is apparently unlocking?
I don't buy it. I don't doubt the intentions of the agent but I think they'll get to the point where somebody will tell them that AT&T wont allow it.
AT&T is the keeper of the keys.

I am happy to say that you are wrong,, they are for sure unlocking. Every agent is doing the unlocking ...

I thought they should unlock it because there is no mention of Streak being locked to AT&T when purchased unsubsidized anywhere on sale page or during check out process. They do say that it is subsidized to 299.99 with 2 year AT&T contract and it works only on AT&T but they never said it is locked when purchased for full price.

LOL, I got up early to check the site, saw 8am roll around and nothing! I knew checking on XDA would show others that share my impatience
W00t! In the cart, checking out now.
EDIT: F**K YOU BEST BUY for not wanting to ship that to my APO address!!!! Grrrrr!!!!!
Checked out for the win! Didn't go online until about 6 or 7 after 8am. I want it now! lol
Is it just me or can you only buy in a package? I want to buy outright.
am i kind of retarded? how to order without contract?!
I can only find the on-contract one, anybody see the $529 version ?
Seems like BestBuy doesnt accept foreign Paypal-accounts.
Thats at least what u can read in some german forums. -.-

Choose that you are an existing customer, and the outright option will appear.

Thank you very much, Singlespeed
but will it give us unlocked phones? I'm not a T-Mobile existing customer and I don't want a locked phone without contract (it stated on BB site that you can get also a locked phone without 2 year obligation for 529$)
There is no locked Nexus S. All are unlocked.

Now we just got to hope that these suckers aren't locked to T-Mo.

I'm a Verizon business customer that was given early access to a retail model direct from Samsung. I do alot of business with Verizon and about to do a company wide refresh. Therefore..Early access.
It's a minimum of 350,00 gifts not 35,000... So it may not be so hard to get one
