I have a chance to buy a dell streak.. Fully unlocked from my Uncle.. Just got a quick question he got the OTA update from o2 when he was over seas.. so updated to 2.1
Now I was wondering if this phone would work on Bell Network in canada? Or is the frequency different then bells voice and 3g service..
Go to pdadb.net, or dells product site for the streak and compare those frequencies with your carriers, simple as that.

If it's the US version you will get voice and 3g on Bell. If it's the UK version you will get voice but you will not get any data. So make sure it's the US version!
I'm using an AT&T locked version on Rogers with the Rebel Simcard.

Having suffered with the Rebelsim 1.1 firmware for a while I decided to upgrade the Rebelsim firmware to 1.2 using the flasher and the Android to the leaked 2.1.
Rebel simply works without having to enable the roaming!. Cool, I'll try it for a couple of days regular use and see how it performs.

I mistakingly thought I had flashed 1.2 - but didn't complete the flashing procedure properly. I successfully flashed 1.2 last nite - and now my locked O2 Streak is now working without any problems with my Australian Optus SIM.
I would describe the Rebel Sim 1.2 as making my phone seem like its totally unlocked.
Rebel Sim 1.1 definitely sucked - but 1.2 seems like the real deal
Hi, what is the difference on this new version of 1.2. with the 1.2, have you lost your network connection? (lose network connection then need to take out sim card and put it in another phone then back to the streak) have you experience any of that with the new version 1.2 or probably less network loss? Thanks
No need to take out the Sim with 1.2 just works for me. Havent lost network connection yet

Thank you guys for the reply, but which network do you use? i use AT&T on o2 dell streak but everyday i get a network lost. Probably, because im still in the old rebel sim version (not so sure which version i have) is there a way to check the version? or did this 1.2 version just came out?
1.2 jusr came out. U can upgrade it but u need a sim programmer

ok! dataplan gone, how about phone service etc? do they still work? can make do with wifi if phone service works ok.. please let me know.
bR
Phone service was ok with firmware 1.2 and wifi always was fine. It was just the data that stopped working, no E or G or H. The second streak I bought for 99 euro with a 2 year 25 euro per month 5gb per month plan has 1.6 build 6267, and for the moment I will stay on 1.6 because all if the 2.1 roms seem to require the o2 UK version....

As to that "Dell Claire" you see near the top, we're hearing it's the T-Mo version of the Dell Streak.

I have the Dell beta Streak on tmobile right now. I was previously a blocked ATT customer and without 3G the internets is very slow. Opening 300kb email attachment is slow as well as youtube and browsing the web. Google maps and navigation seem fine. But it also just loses its edge service when switching wifi on and off, making me have to reset the device.
I would rebuy the Streak if it supported tmobile 3G

I see that Dell is selling the Streak UNLOCKED now .. Does that mean 'unlocked' to T-Mobile ? Their website is complete rubbish. I can't find anywhere on the site where it states anything about the connection .. Does it get 3G or 4G on T-Mobile? Or is it just like the betas .. 3G for ATT only. Thanks.
It's the same phone just unlocked from yhe factory. So tmobile edge only. 3g only on att

Unfortunately thats not a baseband issue, its a matter of the ATT Streak not containing a radio for the T-Mobile 3g bands, so there is no way to get T-Mobile 3g on your unlocked AT&T branded Streak
Boo thanks that's what I've been reading u guess time to sell my useless to me dell

I just bought my Streak unlocked directly from Dell. Is it capable of 3G over T-Mobile?

Because I don't have access to one. I'm considering selling it.
Thanks in advance.

To the best of my recollection, in order to use the unlock code that you got for the Streak you have to put a SIM from another carrier into the phone. Find a friend with T-Mobile and borrow his SIM for a minute to unlock your phone.
Dell will give you the unlock code no questions asked...just call.

You did not buy the phone new? If you did and you got it anywhere except Dell then it probably carrier locked.
I would call Dell and give the phone info, they can probably tell you if it was sold unlocked.
once my streak unlocked one time, do I still need the code for future, if I need to switch to switch carrier again. thanks in advance.
No.

I've had 5 different dell streaks so this is from my experience... if you're on AT&T and get "H" data, then your phone is unlocked. If you only get "3G" then your phone is locked.
H and 3G is rom dependant and has nothing to do with the lock status per se
at&t roms have the H icon disabled so it only shows 3g.
All other roms show H when HSPA is available and 3g when only UMTS is available (which is rather rare now)
