What it your best advice for me to unlock this phone without Rebel sim?
Dell

TYPE: M01M001

if you have searched and read the topics you've come to know that this is not possible yet. Unless you have an inside man or chick working as the assistent manager for Michael Dell.
but for now, nobody knows

What's wrong with using a rebel sim? all you do is cut the sim, stick it in the adaptor, plug it in and you're done, takes less than 5 minutes.
I live about 30 min from the dell headquarters in texas... think i should make a big sign reading "UNLOCK MY STREAK", put it on the roof of my car, and drive around their campus honking my horn and blasting music? maybe Michael will look down from his window and give in... or just get me arrested.
I am waiting...
I argued first with Dell for about an hour through 3 different people on Friday night.
I then called AT&T, because I am a current customer, and explained to them that I paid full retail (not subsidized on a contract) and that I travel internationally. I first spoke to a first level CSR. She wasn't able to help, so then I requested a floor manager. Spoke to the floor manager, and he was a bit more argumentative and much more resistant, saying that AT&T had a "10 month marketing exclusive" with Dell on this device. Not happy there, I pressed on (even though the floor manager told me that the supervisor I would be speaking to would tell me the same thing).
When I finally got a supervisor on the phone, he was very cool about the whole ordeal, listened to me carefully, and explained that he would be willing to create a case to have an unlock code requested. He was very clear that this was not a guarantee that they would give me a code, but he did understand that I needed it to be unlocked for international travel.
He created the case, took down all my info, IMEI #, and even added my Dell Order # as proof that I purchased it off-contract and told me I would get a response by 8/30, and possibly sooner.
Just a waiting game now. Hope this helps someone else. Please post here if you are successful in getting a code.
Thanks,
-Rob

I recommend you use unlock software.
There are some services around and you have to pay, check http://www.unlockbase.com/
I know they can unlock it. I originally bought an unlocked steak and had it warranteed. They sent an ATT locked one. Dell mobility created a ticket and ATT have me an unlock code.

That's one of the theories of why many people, like myself, got "used" Streaks even though we ordered new. When Dell blew out the unlocked Streaks for $199, they ran out of stock. So the theory is that they took locked AT&T Streaks, opened them up and unlocked them while feasting on KFC. Makes since since most of us ended up with Streaks made 8 months ago or older while the people that ordered earlier got newer streaks made this year. The older streaks came with double seals, opened and resealed, the newer streaks had single seals.
I have one of the original BETA units of the Dell Streak that is compatible with T-mobile in the US. Because I have not been able to get the 3G to work consistently (and I lack the time and knowledge to figure out how to root the phone, etc. to try and get around the issue), I have decided to sell it.
I checked out eBay and Craigslist, but I can't find a single beta unit listed for sale.
Question: How much do you guys think this phone might be worth at this point? And can you recommend any good places to sell it online?
Thank you in advance.
in good shape I would say $600, maybe more to the right person, or start at 650. I think factory unlocked is ~$650. I always have great success with craigslist, just inlcude photos, hardware and software screenshots.
I honestly think you need to be around $400.
It's not got a warranty and is "used" regardless of condition.
I'd pay extra for new... thats why I say $400.

If the phone was fully warranted by Dell and you could verify that 3G on TMobile worked properly, you could ask a pretty penny for it...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
If you can post a video for potential buyers to view showing that 3G is capable on T-Mo bandwidths then it should be worth quite a bit. New or not.
Just aslong as it is in like new condition.
There are many T-Mo users who would like a streak, but it is non-compatible with their 3G bands.
you have to jump through a bunch of hoops with the t-mobile technical support before they will unblock the imei or else you'd be stuck with the webconnect $40/month internet plan.
if you're willing, i have an at&t unlocked engineering streak i'd trade with you. i believe someone on modaco sold a tmobile streak for $500 more than a month back.

i love this phone having had a dozen or so in the last few years. mine is at&t unlocked so im sure the rogers one must be unlockable as well.
I just ordered one from dell after reading what froyo 2.2 can do on the streak which makes the streak a perfect device for me. The only downside is that it's locked to rogers, althought I'm on rogers network but i would love to have the flexibility to use other carriers in the event I am traveling aboard. I read somewhere that unlocking service is available but it's expensive - over $100. I checked with dell before I ordered and they said they don't offer the unlocking code. Now the last resource is going after rogers which I have not done yet, and I probably will do and just have to wait a little bit because it's still new until rogers put up the streak on their website.
I plan on using it on bell and rogers and just switch sim cards. My galaxy s is buggy as hell it will be sent away for 4 or 5 weeks for the second time and rogers doesnt work where I work but it the only other phone out in canada that I'm intrested in. well I don't mined paying 100 dollars to get it unlocked. What unlock site can be trusted.

I ordered one from Dell Canada on November 9 and the scheduled delivery date is this Thursday, November 18. When I read yesterday that unlocked Streaks are coming to the US in a few weeks with Froyo pre-loaded, I called Dell customer service (located in India) and asked to cancel my order. My order was still showing as "Not shipped" as of yesterday. The CSR told me that my order has almost gone through the manufacturing process and it is too late to cancel it now. He said I could refuse to take delivery when Purolator delivers it to me and that my money will be refunded. That's what I plan to do. I don't know if or when Dell Canada will sell the unlocked Streak, so I may have to get it from Dell USA.

I read about the unlocked version will be available soon in the US but I doubted that the unlocked version will be highly for T-Mobile users which is not compatible with rogers / at&t. Dell has exclusive contract with at&t and thus would not sell unlocked version compatible with at&t/rogers.

You brought up a very good point about proven unlocked site. I guess we just have to wait and I'm sure more unlocking service sites will pop up soon and feedbacks from users.
You might be right.
Ive got an unlocked AT&T Streak on Rogers and love it.

Hey guys, I am also in Canada and ordered a Streak from Rogers. I have used these guys before to unlock all the phone that I have had in the past year or so. "http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all" I have emailed them the IMEI # of the Streak and they said it would be no problem to unlock. They have a great satisfaction clause. Give them a try. BTW Rogers unlock codes are only $20.

$20 is a very good deal. Thanks for the info, I will unlock mine when I received it. Please provide feedback if it worked.

Unless things have changed in the last four days since I wrote to those guys, they said they cannot unlock the Dell Streak. It even says so on their website for the Dell Streak. I am not able to post the link, but when you go to the link you provided above, click on Rogers (it is at the top where they show the wireless carriers), then scroll down and click on 'Streak Dell of Rogers'. At the bottom of that page you will see where they say they cannot unlock the Streak. As I mentioned, to cross-check on that, I wrote them four days ago and they wrote back saying "No, sorry", they cannot unlock it.
When will rogers carry them in store i need the phone ASAP and can't get it mailed to me?
hmmm, thats weird. My email was sent today once I got confirmation of my new Streak being shipped. My email also included the IMEI, so maybe they quickly ran it. ????? Since they offer a good refund clause, I will try it when the phone shows up and let everyone know.

Rogers is selling outright for $599 and Dell is selling only $549 ........ Interesting. I bought mine from Dell and it will take weeks to get the phone but I could save $50.
I bought mine from rogers outright to use on fido.I got a rebel sim to unlock it and it worked.
I just went to the Mobileincanada website, put in the IMEI #, click on the button "Check if We can unlock your phone" and it gets back "Yes we can unlock your Dell Streak". At $20, I think this is a good deal ! Maybe I'll unlock it ... but then, I don't have any other Carrier's SIM to test.
If you put your IMEI code and it said it could then go ahead cause when i enter mine it says they can't unlock my streak at the moment. So i'm stuck with the Rebel sim card and there is no way i'm send it through the mail.
Rogers is providing unlock codes now

This is great news i will do that tonight when i get home
Sent a request off. Fingers crossed!
Yeh thats me! Not sure if its free after all, need to wait for my account to update [3 day wait], am on Vodafone though rather than O2. Still even if its £15 still cheaper than any other option out there....
this makes no sense to me. I paid £400 for my streak on pay as you go with 02. I'm with T-mobile... so how do I enter my 02 number etc? I dont have one :-(
I don't either, used my Vodafone contract number.

Hmmm guess I got lucky then, I posted my replies at the modaco thread.
How long did it take for you guys to get a reply?
I sent an email off requesting an unlock, and stated that when I requested one first time around and was denied, it was because the Streak was exclusive to O2, but now that I can buy a streak from Tesco, it was no longer exclusive.
I'm wondering if perhaps the somewhat lengthy time it's taking to reply means they've asked Dell for my unlock code...

About a day, ask your self this; why would o2 unlock for free? (or at all for that matter).
The only reason you're asking them is because you can then say goodbye and to then use a competitor! one thing that mobile phone companies don't like it's losing income. So i very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much doubt that they're doing it all, do you????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

I filled in the form early Thursday morning (Dec 2nd). Got an immediate auto reply saying that they'd get back to me within 24 hours. It's now Sunday afternoon and no response yet.
I'm not overly hopeful of getting an unlock code, but it was worth a try.

I'm thinking really seriously of contacting Tesco Mobile with exactly the same inquiry. If they are a part of o2 network, they should share the same unlock database for Streaks. The big hope is that they're not as stupid and dull as o2...

I suspect it will cost £15, and here's why;
I frequently travel abroad. While abroad I can't use a native SIM with my streak, because it's locked to O2. As it stands, my streak is on a 2 year contract. O2 can either provide quality service and let me use my streak in other countries, get the money for the unlock, and have me tell my friends about what a great company they were for doing so, or I can pay Rebelsim, jump ship to a different operator when my contract is up, and encourage my friends to buy a streak directly from Dell.
That's why.

I sent O2 at least 5 e-mails and talk to their online help, no luck. They keep saying can't unlock my dell streak. I got very angry with them now. Anyone know where else can find the unlock code? I know someone post a youtube video to show a software call "streak unlock code generator v1.0" can generate a unlock code, but I couldn't find that software to download, can anyone got it?

Hey guys,
I remember checking out the DVP a while ago and pretty much forgot about it up until the other day. Im really liking where windows is going with their mobile os so im considering the switch from my samsung captivate. I was checking on dell's website, and you can get the unlocked AT&T 3G version for $300, which i think is a pretty great deal.
My only questions are there any issues i should be aware of before i purchase one? also i live in canada so i will be running it on the Rogers network.. will everything pretty well work with me being in canada (like gps, apps, etc..)?
Any feedback is apprecaited! thanks
dvp is a great phone and the best one hands down if you need a keyboard.
But wait.. see what phones are coming. You should see the HTC ones offered in a few days.
HTC Omega (Eternity) with 4.7" screen... DNLA, AOLED (i don't want it if it is LCD) ..
i WAS waiting for the searay.. but that screen is to small.
I'm definitely looking for something with the keyboard as well. I personally love the look of the dvp. I know there was talk of the dell wrigley coming out.. But I don't know if it will be anytime soon. So I'm thinking if I sell my captivate I can afford this. Only other question I have is that there will for sure be the mango update for the phone right?
also is anyone interested in selling their at&t version of the phone? i thought i could get it of the dell ebay site using my canadian paypal account with an american shipping address but it wouldn't let me. so my only resort right now is to get it off ebay, or even here. in canada i need it for rogers, which is the same frequency as at&t
yes there is mango for the phone.. i'd bet everyone that reads this sub forum already has it on their phone.
why can't you get it from ebay? it doesn't ship to you guys up north? get it from dell's web site then.
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/mobile-venue-pro/fs
i managed to get it off dell.com this morning, but after some dealing with customer service. because its not offered on dell.ca right now, i had to use my credit card with a US shipping and billing address of where i was going to pick up the item, then contact the dell credit card verification centre, and tell them why the info i provided for my billing address wouldn't match the database. so it ended up working out in the end. and to me, $300 for a brand new phone, unlocked, and not contract.. seems like a steal.
so before i get receive the phone, does anyone have any tips or directions to point me? im going to give this thread a read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178338 and hopefully try to jump into getting mango on it ASAP. does anyone know what os version it ships with right now?
