So after reading of the threads on here and going to TMONews and seeing that it would be Nov2010 for the release allegedly.
I went to dell.com and chatted with one of the reps and he advised me that TMOBILE will definitely get the Dell Streak , however, (bad news) won't be anytime this year
So conflicting information from TmoNews and Dell rep... I rather listen to TmoNews since Dell is horrible on their information about the Streak from the start.
I'm willing to buy another Streak that has full functionality with Tmobile 3G service.
How about you guys?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know where I am able to buy a Dell Streak, eBay aside? I want to buy the AT&T version for use with the 850MHz Telstra Next G Network.
I know they can be purchased directly through Dell but I'm from Australia and they won't post to me because the Optus network has an exclusivity deal here.
Thanks,
Krisbo
Best Buy started selling the streak today.

That's all well and good, but they don't ship to Australia...
I would say either eBay or use a courier forwarding service. One thing you may already be aware of is ATT has been very lenient in unlocking their off contract phones, just say you live in Canada and they will unlock it in five minutes from what I have heard.

Thanks for the tip
Just spoke to my Dell Rep and he said he could sell me the unlocked streak for 99 bucks. I am going to order a few for some of my staff.
I am getting the 99 price with an unlocked streak with no contract.
I did order a dozen computers the other day so that may have helped. Hit up your Dell Rep if your interested.
Sent from my Dell Streak
can you order a few for me too?
Can you order 3 for me as well.
order
if you can order two for me, i will be more than happy to send you the money via PayPal. cheer
Got final clarification from my Dell Rep. He said the promotion was over for the bundle deal on computers... But as a retention sale he will sell them to me for $99.
However the quote is for $1000+ which he said he will bring down to 224.xx when i place it.
maybe no luck for you guys after all. Sorry.
I want a couple of those $99 ones as well, anyone ordered any dell notebooks recently?

Want a streak $99 if it still works. I would buy via Paypal.
I'll buy 3 at 99 bucks if you can still get the deal.
Just ordered this yesterday for a whopping $.01 with my AT&T upgrade I've been sitting on..... can't wait to get it
I was trying to decide if I wanted to get the HTC Inspire 4G or not but when I saw this I couldn't pass it up....
Just thought I'd let everyone know...
congrats on the great deal and on getting rid of the iphone!

The iPhone is great for the non tech types but for me it was just too... um... geekgirly??... lol.... so now my girlfriend or her daughter will inherit it... good riddance! bleah!
Great deal, I thought $49 at best buy when I got mine was a good deal. I came from an iPhone 4 also, I used iPhones since 2007 and got really bored. For the techy types android wins hands down. I havent even touched my iPad since I got the streak..

Thats very good choice. I was going to go with the atrix or inspire back when I was upgrading too, and got the DELL Streak instead and love it.
Question- I have a second line on a fam plan with unlimited sms ,MEDIA msg etc. how do we not get charged for keeping the same plan? Im ordering one now but it wont let me disassociate the plan and charges.

According to amazon wireless, anything that is added on the plan side of things is only THAT LINE specific and anything that is defined under the family plan umbrella is unaffected.... In my case, I was upgrading my 2nd line in my Family plan (which is currently a captivate with the $25/mo data plan) and when I "add" the $25/mo data plan via amazon wireless for the new phone - it will just cancel out the existing data plan and "institute" the new data plan - WITHOUT touching the already existing unlimited text messaging that comes from the family plan umbrella.... if that line DIDN'T have a data plan before, IT WILL NOW! (mine did)
Does that make sense?... reading back over it I'm getting confused! LOL
For family plan with all Ur old stuff just call att they'll put t back to Ur original plan that's what I had to do

is there any difference between the unlocked version and the att version? I have an order for that $200 unlocked streak but it's taking a while to ship. The reason why i would want the unlocked one is that I would not have to pay for the data correct? Or are they going to force me to be on a data? I have had the tilt 2 since release and haven't been forced on a data plan yet.
they both are identical devices correct? thanks
I was very tempted to go for the $.01 deal but opted for the local Best Buy's $49 Streak. Good thing too because the first one I walked out the door with was DOA. Returned it the next day for another and love it (coming from a stolen iPhone 4).
The Amazon thing was a little dodgy about returning and/or canceling the service and if you would have to pay back the 'equipment credit' if you did cancel/return it. Sometimes it's good to have a local store to return stuff to and ***** at.
I debated between the Streak and the Galaxy Tab for a while, then I bought a Galaxy Tab through T-Mobile with hopes of getting voice capabilities one day. I should have gone with my instinct and just bought the streak. Now I have an iphone 3g and a tab, but I see I can upgrade it for $0.01. It's hard to argue with that!!! My questions is, if I do buy the streak through Amazon Wireless, can I keep my unlimited data? I see they have a bunch of garbage plans that charge an arm and a leg for data.
Thanks,
Shelton

You should probably just try it through Amazon and see. Nothing is going to change until you finalize the transaction. Walk through and see if keeping your unlimited plan is an option provided.

I'm not sure but I thought the unlimited plan is/was only available with the iphone. You might want to call att and get a salesperson on the horn
In all honesty I purchased the INSPIRE its nice but for some reason I saw myself going back to the streak so many times I was just used to the 5 inch screen. A lot of people will say to you the sell streak is crazy big but once you start to use it and work on it you will never go back to a smaller screen. I ended up selling m inspire for 300.

Since I can't get a DVP in my country, I asked a friend who currently visits the US to buy one for me.
I chatted to a DELL customer agent and asked about my options.
He said I cannot order online with DELL and have it shipped to a hotel address.
Did anyone of you do so?
Is there a shop where he can buy a DVP right away?
DELL told me about Best Buy, but if I check their website, I can't find it...
Thanks!!!
Dell ships via FedEx who allows users to ship to their location free of charge. You could pursue that option.
I would call FedEx to figure out how the whole process would work (i.e. the shipping address for the center, etc.)

Microsoft has a few retail stores around the US that carry the 8GB DVP in store:

Dell.com no longer has Dell Streak in stock. It has been like that for 3-4 days now. Business side still has unlocked one available for $399 with a ship date of August 3. Is this the end of the Streak?
Yes. The end it will never be had again.
Yes, I am being sarcastic.

dont cry... maybe you can sell it on ebay as collectors item for big $
My dad finally finished his 2-yr contract with Sprint and really wanted to get a Streak but I guess it isn't meant to be. Chatted with Dell and they said they don't know when or if it will be in stock.

Why not order from the business page?
Also - check your local Best Buy. They still had them in stock last week in NW Indiana. $49 with contract.
Of course, you may have just decided to wait for the great phone (or one that meets your needs).
The business side has an unlocked one for $399 - he isn't willing to pay that. He wanted to get one for $99 (with a 50 dollar gift card promo). We've checked all the Best Buys in our area and had no luck. I let him use my Streak for a few days and he really likes it. More than many other phones available right now - mostly due to its size. So we'll wait and see if it comes back with AT&T 2-yr contract plan again.
What that might mean is that AT&T is no longer subsidizing the phone.
I bought my Streak for $400 back in December and it has been the best phone purchase I have ever made.

You can give up on that... the phone is already 2 years old, contracts are up... they're not gonna put a phone on a 2year contract that will be obsolete a year into the contract
^Perhaps...( I hope not though). I just read an article about the new Dell Stage which will now allow you to store your files onto a shared media cloud like iCloud. The new version should be shipping now/soon and maybe Streak will be getting it too. So that could be the stock issue.
Here's the link to the article:
