[Request] Streak forum section

Picked up my Dell Streak the other day and after playing for a while Ive already started modding and hunting for tweaks so would be awesome to get a new section for the streak, I think its only on o2 so its as good as an xda device
Its already been rooted so wont be long before custom froyo builds start popping up and where better to have them then my favourite site.
Thank you!
(Apologies if its already been mentioned)

You wont be dissapointed, had mine for a few days now and loving it, build quality and screen really stand out, and pleasantly surprised with the video recording quality (in good lighting) hope this device does well so there is lots of support from dell and xda..

In case anyone in the UK is getting one of these Sim free unlocked they are £449 on dells website but car phone warehouse are now selling them unlocked Sim free for £429

Well I guess this is good news cuz hopefully this means accessories will be sold at best buy and we could get to see them before powering their ridiculous prices. Hopefully the usb cable will get a price drop as well.
As for froyo, not gonna hold my breath on that one...

Assuming, however it will remain AT&T exclusive.

This is great. I've met so many people that have never even heard of the Streak it's sad. I even had to tell a cust support rep AT AT&T what a Streak was and how I got it. This, too, will get a little more third party (accessories, custom roms, etc) interest focused on this beast of a phone.

Well there are rumors that it is going to be released on t-mobile soon
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

Well Micheal Dell himself said this is soon to be sold in Best Buy, so I trust this is not a rumor. Then again he did say the Streak would be avalable for @ the end of June & for $500.

This is a good thing. It will give people a chance to play with the phone before they purchase it. Perhaps we may also see a price drop .......

its on the best buy site for preorder now...

getting tempted by this giant of media convergence...
in the UK dell sells sim free for £449 but o2 PAYG is £399 !!!

You can easily get o2 Streak from Amazon for just 349 pounds, which is really much better than 399 wish I knew that before I bought mine

My local bestbuy got them in today. She said to come back in a few days and i can play with one. They havent unboxed them yet or nothing yet.
Doesnt make much sense. You get a phone like that in, that people have been waiting to see and touch, and you take a couple days to get them out and available? Stupid

Its official ladies & gentlemen. The Dell Streak has arrived @ Best Buy. Hopefully this means more consumer awareness & more support from Dell!!!!!!!!

Picked mine up today and I LOVE the screen it's gorgeous, but I'm having some issues charging it right now - hopefully it sorts itself out soon.

well i do not think there will be any support from dell just like their laptops welcome to the world of dell

Well, it's because it isn't an iPhone
I noticed my Best Buy had them, one of the blue shirts came over to pester me, and she said are you interested in this, I said no, I already have one, you took to long to get them, so I bought it directly from Dell.

Best Buy overwhelmed...

Yea it's like Best Buy is overwhelmed with new phones. Lots of new phones are pouring in. I called the store and they said they didn't have 'em in stock yet so I went up there. There was a little display at the end of the aisle with NO demo model in it--it wasn't even charged. I asked and the guy didn't even know what it was. After I held it I fell in love with it. They could tell me NOTHING about the device-I was actually educating them. All they could say was "That's a big a$$ screen!"
Yea...I get that a lot!

LMAO went to the best buy mobile in the mall yesterday and the sales girl kept saying its a small tablet. We said its a phone and she don't believe me. The other sales girl had to correct her and we explained that it is a phone and can make calls and stuff. She felt like a moron.

Dell Streak Selling for $199 off contract dell website

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.
http://configure.us.dell.com/dellst...s&kc=&oc=MSCMSY9&dgc=SM&cid=51713&lid=1638350

or if ur planning to get a new computer from dell anyways, the streak will cost you an extra 99$

We're sorry, but we are unable to process your request. The product or offer you are attempting to locate is no longer available

Dell just helped a few people make some cash from ebay!

Damn, I would have bought one in a heart beat

Yep, gone fast.. but among the ones who brought 2... not for ebay.. but for myself and dad...great deal...

Damn!
I grabbed one of these yesterday. I didn't realize it was a limited time offer or I would have bought a handful. I'm only using mine for one week in June to videochat with home while vacationing out of the country.
Nice to know eBay will be waiting for me when I get home

I was able to get one...
I'm going to be a daddy...lol..

I ordered one but my order status is still "In Production". Anyone got a "shipped" status yet?

Mine also say "In Production". Dell always takes their sweet time... Like 2 weeks BEFORE they ship.

i already got 3 , maybe in "in production" status for than 1 week, but hope dell ship them in 2-3 days.

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

Damn! Missed this. That's a phenomenal deal considering the unlocked version has + support for both AT&T and T-Mobile. At that price I'd sell my Nexus S and move back to a Streak.

The Streak is discontinued if I recall.
http://www.thetelecomblog.com/2010/12/17/dell-begins-operation-“phase-out”-for-the-streak/
I'd get Mom to switch upgrades.

In the UK, O2 would not even sell the display model in my local store. Thankfully they had a few left through the website.

who knows... i just ordered 4 last week without an issue. They are back to their original prices... I think they have started to pick up steam with froyo. You will probably still see them for the next 3-6 months.
I will hold on to mine as long as I can. Removing all the junk and keeping it lite with 354 has me very very happy. I was playing with a thunderbolt and it is so clunky compared to my streak.

If ur in a rush for a upgrade look for a better phone but if ur willing to wait dell is anouncing the dell streak 5 second gen. In january 2011

Relavance of streak
Have been using the dell streak for the last six months.
I feel that it is an ideal combination of portability and functionality.
The froyo 2.2.2 is great to use.My device is rooted. Love the smooth as silk functionality. I feel that the 1ghz processor is good enough for most of the current requirements. A dual core processor, though, nice to have, is not an imperative need. I do not foresee any "essential" application currently available or likely to be available which needs dual core power and I would much rather watch a 1080p video on a larger screen.

I may be naive about the upgrade process but I'm not sure how you would upgrade to the Streak. You cannot buy the Streak directly from AT&T and I thought you had to go to AT&T for an upgrade. If I'm wrong about then I stand corrected.
There was a leaked timeline from Dell about there Streaky products and if I remember correctly it had the current Streak available until somewhere around Nov 2011 when Opus comes out.

Amazon wireless and bestbuy are out of stock. But you can still do a streak up from dell.com I think it will run about 99bucks with the upgrade.

AT&T has ended their agreements with third party vendors like letstalk and wirefly. Relevant Google Search I believe that Best Buy and Amazon Wireless are your only third party options now.

Att is soooo greedy.

For those of you who are worried that Dell streaks are no longer available, do not worry as they ARE still available, just not as easy to buy as they previously were.
Some stores/websites still sell them otherwise ebay is your best friend...
There are PLENTY of brand new unlocked streaks on ebay...

Deafcyclist said:
My problem is that I don't have much money. I want to take advantage of the best buy upgrade price of $50 without having to go to the route of paying hundreds directly for the phone off contract. If I had to do that, i would just upgrade to the htc infuse.

Since Amazon is out of stock, I think the next best "deal" would be just process your upgrade at dell.com for $99. Else like the previous post, check ebay for possible lower price.

sold streak 5

I just sold the wonderful dell streak 5 mini.
I am so sad I was a great device but there is not to much support from dell.
The successor is Google Nexus.
R.I.P. my lovely Dell.

I sold mine too - to CEX in the UK. I traded it in for a galaxy tab and bought a much smaller phone (xperia x8). On the thought process that I could use a proper sized phone for daily use and the galaxy tab for all the other stuff...
How wrong was I...
I found after all this time being a Streaker that the x8 was underpowered even changing to 2.3 didn't help and the galaxy tab was too big to take anywhere without a bag so barely got used.
I missed my Streak so much I went and traded it all back in again and bought my old Streak back!

Bought 2nd Dell Streak
Love my Dell Streak so much I bought a 2nd one.
Had a Moto Xoom Tablet, felt like a poser carrying the tablet around.
Sold the Xoom, it did nothing the Streak couldn't do. And I can have the streak with me anywhere unlike a 10" tablet.
Keep your Streak!

Add me to those who are Streakless.
I replaced the Streak as my everyday phone back in December and sold my Streak on eBay recently. I went with the mini-Streak (Dell Venue, the best Android phone no one has heard of). The Venue is essentially a Streak with a 4.1 inch screen. If anyone wants an unlocked phone that is a smaller version of the Streak keep an eye on the Dell outlet pages, they sell the Venue refurbished for $179 when they have them. I am riding the trailing edge of Android innovation!
I wanted a smaller everyday phone but really liked the Streak, the Venue fits my needs.
We also purchased an Android tablet right before Christmas which I use for many of the things I used to use the Streak for at home.
For over a year I have visited this area of XDA almost everyday and read nearly every post. I'm sure I keep hanging around a while longer, but my participation will drop off.
If you are new to the Streak and come across this post I want to remind you that all of the information you need to mod your phone is right here. Search and read - then do ti again. There is a lot of info and you need to read it in detail.
Thanks to all who made using the Streak a better experience by sharing their knowledge and for having the patience to help the new people along.
