Well, it's the 14th and no word from Dell. Screw them, I'm going with the Samsung Galaxy S / Captivate. I've had enough of Dell's BS. Let the flaming begin!

I am in the same boat. Dell and AT&T are taking too long to give me any info on release a release date, and AT&T has yet to acknowledge the phone even exist by the way. So I am going with the Captivate as well. It also looks more promising as it will have a giant community to back it up. Plus Samsung is going to release the phone's source code something Dell has yet to do.

Riiggghhhhttt.... I've been following the Streak since it was first seen in December 2009. They've totally blown any PR for this device.
As for Samsung updates - the Captivate has already been rooted and it hasn't even been released! Are you daft? You're a "senior member" on this board and you're going to try to use "software updates" as a detterent? That's what this whole damned site is for! I've loaded so many custom ROMs on my phones from this site it's crazy! Your statements are just plain stupid.

Another thing stupid about the software updates comment - the Streak is shipping with 1.6! At least the Captivate ships with 2.1!
Now tell me, who's going to be waiting on software updates? Maybe you were one of the people that got burned on the Behold 2? By a piece of sh*t, no matter who you buy it from, and you get what you pay for.
eh......i must of come to the wrong site by mistake, i was after xda not 4chan...

Dude shut up, you sound like a b***h you are making us look bad infront of our brothers and sisters across the pond . ATT is not going to over lap two major phone releases. The Galaxy S phone is coming sunday (I think). Dell Streak is the next big release phone on ATT or TMO or both. The release date and more info could be coming out probably next week. ATT is not going to cut the head off of Galaxy S sales either so you are probably looking at a mid Aug release its just common sense if you think about it. Stop whinning and talk about how badarse Lock Stock and two smoking barrels is.

Sorry dumb American forgetting to convert currency =P
Still even at $50/mo for a FREE Streak thats an amazing deal compared to anything in America. We will have to either buy it subsidized for $199 and pay $70/mo for 2 yrs or buy it unlocked for $500 and pay $50/mo anyways

Haha +1 for this comment!
There have been some Dell tweets informing us to keep our eyes open for some kind of info this week.
http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/07/dell-confirms-big-news-about-streak-coming-next-week.html
and
http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/07/...with-final-hardware-and-different-colors.html
Hopefully they come through!
So, I have an iPhone 4 (i wish i still had my nexus one) and i am looking to rid myself of it and get the dell streak. upgrading this to 2.2 would be no problem for me, and all the specs seem up to par with everything else on the market.
here is the point of my question... I want to know if any of you who gave up your iphone (iphone 4 particularly) for the streak, WAS IT WORTH IT.
thanks
The simple answer is yes. The long winded answer is...
I've always been an iphone user up until the streaks release when I finally jumped ship to android. I've fallen in love with the way android works and the large screen of the dell. The customization options and the open feel of the apps on the market place are great features.
I tried out the iphone 4 for a couple of weeks but found it impossible to go back to the small screen and restricted software that is apple, not to mention the reception issues I was having.
Although I love the streak it's not all blue skys and kittens in comparison. The major things you'll notice in comparison to your iphone is the testing is a little harder to get used to and the market place doesn't have as many high end apps. The games available are very limited. However its easy to get past this considering how good everything else is and you cb always use some of the emulators instead and get some decent games.
All in all I would tell anyone on an iphone or considering it to look at android instead and if you want the larger screen then the streak is for you!

I had the iPhone 4 for a total of 3 days before i realised it was the same tired iPhone I replaced... Sure they "added" some things, but the feel of iOs is simply boring compared to Droid.
Now I haven't received my Streak yet, just ordered it yesterday, but I am using the Samsung Captivate at the moment and it is 1000 times better in my opinion than apple could ever be. i find it hard to describe, but its like android is the offspring of iOs and winMo... So the "flash" of apple and the "tweakability" of windows... So that's my thoughts, can't wait for my Streak!! Hope it helps!!!
Yeah man I feel you. Because i had a nexus one from February till the end of June and I miss it. :/ I think I may go with the Dell tomorrow. I'm going to check it out at my local AT&T. Thank you a lot for input.. I am just so fed up with Apple. And it hasn't even been that long. anything else about the streak I should know or look out for?
Thanks again.

Good question. I've got an iPhone 4 myself and can't stand it, thinking of making the switch as well.
What sort of adapter did you guys use for the microsim?
Alright well. I think I'm gonna do it. I just have to go off of pure hope that I'd like it. I'm gonna try to call an AT&T store to see if o could at least look at it if they have one. But you guys would say go for it, yeah?

iPhone 4 microSIM to fullsize SIM
I purchased a microSIM adaptor on ebay...cost me $7 for the item and shipping.
Tested it by taking my microSIM card from my iPhone4, placing it into the microSIM adaptor and inserting that combo in my old Nexus One and it worked no problem.

nice... i just went to an at&t store and they gave me a full size one for free.
So, i sold my iPhone 4 for $550. woo! i ordered my Streak, and i'll be talking to you guys here more.
i got tired of the iphone 3g and dodged the iphone4 bullet. i didnt wait for its release i went for the streak on june 4th instead. i did my homework before making that decision but most of all they never had any real features worth waiting for.
I love using OSX but come on if they bothered the ipad and iphone could have had all that goodness rather than cripped os's. its akin to taking a baseball bat to a racehorse!

If you have an old sim trace around the micro sim then cut. I used a small piece of tape and it works great. Not the ellegant option but it's effective...

I feel the same way, I have been watching the Streak like a hawk. I have some big hands and I think it will be perfect for what I want. I got overnight shipping, sucks to order on a Friday. I am glad I waited though, I was so close to buying a beta from eBay.

AT&T will swap out your micro sim back to a standard sim for free, being that the only phone in their linup that uses it is the iPhone... I had to go from standard to micro and back again and they didn't argue at all.. The rep told me that it is a common trouble shoot to swap sim card so they had no problem doing it for free.
Also, Dell has chosen to sell the Streak purely online, from the Dell site only. According to Dell, they wanted to make sure that all Streak customers were handled the same way to avoid problems, being that it was the frist phone they released.... ( Iwas told this by a Dell rep, so I am not 100% sure on the validity.)

sounds pretty logical. reps at stores can really make the process suck. especially when they stutter and they aren't positive on the features and stuff. eh.. i dislike buying phones from at&t. im glad dell sort of has a 'nexus one style' way of selling its product.
I work for coca cola and go to walmarts often just noticed they dropped the price of fascinate to $48 there is a sold out sticker on it at this location.

It is probably only available to new users or upgrades signing a 2yr agreement.
I think the price is due to the fact that its a horribly made phone. I some how got verizon to take it back even though i was past my 30 days. thank god..set back is that im on a garbage flip untill something worthy comes out. Dont think im gonna go back to android though.
Notice even on ebay people are getting horrible offers for the phone. Samsung has a horrible name in the mobile phone industry....compare it to a moto phone,. Moto phones feel like quality
its free at my local best buy right now on an upgrade/new contract

I've never heard that Samsung had a horrible name in the mobile phone industry. I've heard that they aren't the greatest with providing updates, but the hardware in their phones is almost always the latest and greatest when the phones are released. Given the size and form factor, I can't say that my Fascinate feels flimsy either. If it weighed much more than it does, I'd wonder more about why it was so heavy over enjoying how much more sturdy it felt.
On a more personal note, if all you are going to do is come in here and bash the Fascinate, and not provide anything of any use or substance, I suggest you look elsewhere to read and post, possibly here
The Fascinate is among the best phone, hardware wise. Although, I do agree about the flimsy part. Coming from a Touch Pro, the Fascinate feels flimsy. If you feel that way too, I would recommend the verizon stand case. It adds a nice heft to the phone and feels very solid.
Also, ignore the trolls. I honestly believe that the iPhone is the ONLY way to go for some people.
no i know the hardware is great....if it works properly...ie:gps but cpu and gpu are great.
Yeah i got rid of my fascinate thank god. I came from the iphone on att but left because of the network. And now on verizon i tried android....but there are no quality apps, almost no push notification apps...ie:sports apps
I PERSONALLY believe that the iphone os is much better all around. Im gonna wait it out and hope the iphone gets released on verizon in the next 2 -3 months.
goodluck guys, hope u get gingerbread....

For people like you, I really hope they don't bring the iPhone to Verizon, please go back to ATT.
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.

I'.M order 2 same things like you. still waiting. they said delivered on 8/4/2011 hope so............

In their review they gave it a 9/10, and even stated in their review, "The Atrix 4G might be our favorite Android device that we've tested."
Source: http://www.engadget.com/motorola/atrix-4g-review/
Engaget's "Recommendation" posted today:
"We're not going to mince words, the Motorola Atrix has a number of urgent software issues that make it tough to recommend, but at least AT&T is pricing the Blur-saddled smartphone into the realm of reason."

Oh Engaget, you really should keep up with what you have written in the past. Good stuff... lol

I agree it is bizarre their only phones over $99 now are the Infuse, the iPhone, and the mediocre HTC HD7S for Windows 7. I hope this means they got something cool up their sleeves for June that we don't know about.
it might not be june but i think before summer is out SGS2 is coming it just makes to much sense

Cant wait to see what else they have up their sleeve... I really hope our bootloader gets unlocked here soon.

Engaget really dropped the ball today and it is getting totally lit up in the comments section.
Engaget's Review of the Atrix:
In their review they gave it a 9/10, and even stated in their review, "The Atrix 4G might be our favorite Android device that we've tested."
Source: http://www.engadget.com/motorola/atrix-4g-review/
Engaget's "Recommendation" posted today:
"We're not going to mince words, the Motorola Atrix has a number of urgent software issues that make it tough to recommend, but at least AT&T is pricing the Blur-saddled smartphone into the realm of reason."
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/atrix-4g-available-for-100-from-atandt-just-50-bucks-per-tegra-2/
All I can say is grab some popcorn and have fun reading the comments. They are getting lit up, and this is gonna make my day go so much faster at work. Obviously Engaged got all caught up with their well known "mancrush" with "Apple" and the recent news of IOS 5.
Oh Engaget, you really should keep up with what you have written in the past. Good stuff... lol

What people in the comments don't understand is that there is a new group of guys at engadget now while the others are gone at Thisismynext. Josh.T reviewed the Atrix first so his review and opinon might be different than others that are there now.
Just ordered mine today.

Upgrading on another phone
I have 4 phones on my plan but only 3 of them have the data (last is for my daughter's emergency phone).
Of the 3 on the data plan, mine still has the medianet plan on my captivate which the AT&T rep was kind enough to keep for me when he upgraded my phone from an older phone to the captivate.
But phone #4 without the data plan is up for upgrade and I'm wondering if I order it online, do I have to pick a data plan for it? Or will it try to put a dataplan on it if I use it with her sim card but not mine?
I'm thinking if I unlock the phone and just put my sim chip in it, I can keep my unlimited, but not sure if the data plan automatically gets put on phone #4 if I upgrade on that.
Anyone know?
Hey guys
Is it the plan version or the RRP? coz I got mine for $550 from other source=(
Crap, I just bought my Atrix on Saturday... Costco gave me a good deal though.

I'm getting more tempted to dump mine. (Bell version) No official support, and the US version dropping in price...

I'm getting in on this. My plan is up for renewal and $100 seems good to me. I plan on rooting it, getting the webtop over HDMI running and possibly buying a bluetooth keyboard/trackpad.
Anyone have any tips or tricks?
I'm a little nervous because I have an N900 which lets me do pretty much anything I want...
Lap Dock
Im wondering if they are gonna dump the price of the phone are they gonna drop the price of the Dock as well? With a locked bootloader im getting kinda bored with this thing. Maybe a dock will give me something to mess around with. Im sure not paying $300 for it though.
You can also get a refurbished one for 50$
