Good Luck.. These people in best buy and reps on the phones know absolute poppycock as to when it will be released.
I hope for you that it is released, or you can easily use the qdl to get to froyo now.
Interested to see what is in the new build though.
Well it wouldnt hurt to wait another day. But if it doesnt come tomrrow then qdl it.
Been enjoying 2.2 since the second day I had my Streak thanks to the helpful people here at xda.

Seems Best Buy got snookered along with the rest of us....
well.. kinda thought I would be right about this....
Best Buy... ATT Phone reps... Your local Radioshack guy...
KNOW JACK **** ABOUT ANY RELEASE DATES FOR UPDATES.
You can't even trust twitter updates from the companies either. You have three options..
1. Use QDL tool to go to Froyo now.
2. Sit and wait it out until it is released
3. Get another device that has froyo or later.
The worst part about streak owners not updating via QDL is that the software is NOT BETA... they are fully tested OEM unlocked roms!
When i was with the captivate, the cookers were hacking pieces together from 4-5 different froyo roms from different phones.. and it was still not as stable as the streak.

P. S. - Update on the update (2/2) - An AT&T rep was in the Best Buy store that I just visited. Another BB employee confirmed
yesterday (2/1) as the day the rollout started. Just then an AT&T rep walked into the store and the BB employee asked him "what's the story on the update for the Streak"? The AT&T rep verified that it was supposed to have started on 2/1 and he has not heard anything to the contrary.
Froyo Update not released on Feb 1 as I reported!
Crap!!! I spoke to Dell yesterday and they said the announcement about the Froyo update for
Feb 1 were wrong. They are still working on it!
Oh, well. I been snookered!
Oh give me a break. Att Rep, bestbuy employee bull****. It doesn't matter what they tell you. The have no clue about anything.

When I had my Streak warrantied out, (back in late november) they told me there was an update coming, I replied "I know there is, I'm already running froyo" lol, the rep didn't seem to care.

Wishing for some odd reason Dell Sales chat would magically say "Yes you may order one now, let me take your information" was my main motivation to bug them tonight. And hey, some good came of it, I am on a notification list!
"For now, we have no exact date when the device will be offered on the US but if you want, we can send you a quote to notify you when it is available for US. is that okay?"
So I listed my phone and email then gave appreciation for the small yet extremely satisfying gesture.
I have posted this here as well http://forum.pocketables.net/showpost.php?p=42375&postcount=16
Others in that thread also confirm this "notification list" offer from the sales chat reps.
Rumor has it, the Streak will be available on July 14th
EDIT:
I just got off with the chat again and the agent said "It will be released some time by mid July". Looks to me it will be released at or around the 14th ^^
.
sounds good hopefully it stands. ive had this phone on my radar for quite some time now. now im gettin this instead of the x10 because the x10 is taking too long to come here.
I received my USA Streak yesterday. Both ATT and TMobile cards work. I bought my Streak from a winner in the Streak Giveaway Charity Race .. I can't register it until the 15th because he wasn't supposed to be able to sell it until then. What that tells me is the 'gossip' is correct .. THAT will be the release date. Maybe the 14th as the rumor has it or the 15th when the winners are released from their obligation ..
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT .. Has 1.6 on it .. I don't know when the next update is but I read they would have something called "Gingerbread" ?? on the first of January... that is a lifetime away .. What would 2.2 give me that 1.6 won't ?? I had Nexus One and I don't see any difference really.

2.2 Has a lot of updates as you would expect in a major update but to be honest it flies with 1.6 on it so i am loving it.
I bet there are a few in the US at the moment who are very jealous of you,just hope you all have a chance to get one real soon
I know someone that is getting their USA Streak tomorrow. Can't wait to hear what he has to say. I don't know who is the bigger gadgetaholic, me or him. Or is that him or I ??? Him or me? School was decades ago .. I can't remember.

I live in an area with NO 3G signal .. So I can't answer that question.
....where the **** is the US streak at?
I really would like to get my hands on this device. I know that with samsung releasing their Galaxy series this week going to be next week before the Streak announcment can be made. The only thing I can possibly thing of is they want to get the streak on 2.2 before releasing it in US? What do you guys think?
I dont think they will have 2.2 for the US release...i heard rumours that it would be sept/oct for 2.2
Question for you, do you know if any handsets are still being being sold with 1.6 in the US?
everything that ive read all headsets are being released with 1.6
If they release this week, it will be on Wednesday the 14th, or 19th so the rumor mill says.
Your in Texas, go to Dells Office and demand one.
My version is end of July
Ha I know right....
Although I am not the least bit interested in the Galaxy S, what an awesome promo site
Unlike Dell with a crappy blog starting to fill with complaints in the comments dell.com/streak

I still have an "Open Ticket" for a replacement EVO, Sprint says I can exchange it at a corporate store and gave me the numbers for a few local stores. The Sprint tech also reported that the stores should be getting shipments next Monday, all will be updated to FroYo 2.2 from the factory.
I called 3 corporate stores hoping they would have an EVO with 2.1, but alas, none to be found regardless of software version.
that is no good, wonder if there is any way...

I should be getting my replacement sometime this week. (Hopefully) I'm praying I get lucky as well
im getting my replacement this evening. Will update this thread.
This affects my decision on getting an Epic. I wanted to eventually replace my EVO towards the end of its Sprint warranty (light leakage, etc) so I could get a newer one, but I don't want to be slapped with more security that may or may not be broken in the near future.
It would only make sense that the newer phones comes with their latest update. Why would they want to make the customer download a large file when they can pre-load it from the factory.
It's not the best choice for many of us who are waiting for a replacement handset that have enjoyed being rooted. I am one of them as well. I have faith in the developers that they will be able to give the OEM Froyo 2.2 handsets root access in the near future.
I might not like not having NAND root but in my Droid X just having the ability to install superuser is a nice feature. I can live with what that can provide for now.
Only time will tell.
relax, I hear unrevoked is close on root for the 2.2 OTA

Edit, I'm wrong. The release is for rooted devices.

Awesome... just picked mine up. No OTA.

No.. what they have is not for OTA 2.2. There's a thread about it somewhere and they commented in there that they really hadnt done anything towards rooting 2.2 OTA.

I spoke to a representative at Bell, she said that Froyo will be rolling out December 6th through Kies. Don't know if this is posted anywhere else, just thought I'd let you eager Bell users know.
Thanks for the heads up ..if this is true let the countdown begin....
If our Kies doesnt work, we are pretty much screwed for the official bell update >_<
Never trust a Bell agent. I have an audio recording of an other agent which is 100% sure that the update will be out in November. In August, they told me it would be september.
Don't hold your breath on that one. Canada got the vibrant seemingly last. And the rollout for Froyo isn't complete in the other countries that got the I9000 before we did. Id' best guess the soonest isn't until sometime in the first quarter of the new year.
I'm thinking the failure rate after the update is gonna be huge. And Corporate wants their bonuses for a good Christmas season in terms of sales. That's why I'm saying Feb '11, after the Christmas rush & the January warehouse clearance sales.

If what you are saying is true...there is going to be some huge backlash. Especially after the post on facebook on the Samsung page which mentioned Dec 15th.

First, this is pure speculation, even more considering the post made by samsung.
First, the Froyo release is not following the same path as the release of the phone itself (having to wait after the others...) second, pre-release are already available trough test mode in kies, wich means the testing is ongoing pretty good as of now.
As for the bonuses part, in a big corporation like bell, their already given! Bell won't wait on that to give/not give bonus.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Someone decided to crank up the old rumor mill again.
I bought my phone the day it came out on Aug 6th and have been weeks and sometimes only days away from 2.2 the whole time....

SD card failure is higher for the I9000M than the rest of the international members of this site. I know the polling is unscientific, but it does seem to indicate there may be a problem with releasing Froyo. I still stand on not holding my breath for the 15th.
Bell and Kies
You need to be careful with Bell. On Aug. 19, I got my galaxy and installed kies, as they told me to. I hit the 3 hour window when Samsung put out the corrupted update (according to the Samsung Rep). It trashed my bios. I called Bell and they said, it was my problem because it wasn't their software and they don't recommend anyone use it. When I pointed out I had an internal Bell memo instructing the retailors to tell customers to install it, and how to do it,(I still have it) I was told that was impossible, it wasn't their problem and to call Samsung. Then they hung up.
Needless to say I have not received any help from Samsung either, and the regional Rep won't answer my emails anymore.

Ya right...I'll believe it when i have it on my phone.
Just called my bell agent and he told me it would really be deploying by mid december. He talked to the samsung rep and they also received a official memo from bell stating mid decem ber. So don't hold your breath for today
Samsung Mobile already said Mid-December on their Facebook page.
Yeah, no dice here... Hopefully on the 15th, its a bit ridiculous really...
I don't see why anyone would get excited about this... BOTH of my Vibrants have died running 2.2. When this update gets released there are going to be a lot of dead vibrants

you had to hack your vibrant to get it on
that may have caused a problem. I would hope that bell will develop it to work on thier phone without the need to fool the phone and will have had ample testing to make sure it works. at least if it does not work, by putting the new OS using normal means, it will be up to \Bell to fix it.
sorry to hear you had so much trouble
Which companies are not jokes these days!
Why hasn't someone started a cell company who treats their customers properly.....
If you can offer them great service, prices and plans, the company would have it made!
no one would switch, they would tell their friends which would bring more business.
Corporations are a joke these days!!!
All they care about is your money. All people care about is MONEY!
We (the people) need to make choices "together" to be able to control the direction of these corporations.
if we started a movement here in Vancouver, with 1 million strong, we could make change happen.
Who is with me!
Hay, I just checked for updates using my streak and got a n 404 error. Maybe they are getting ready to release 2.2 of course they may also be cancelling support for the Streak.

hmm.. Maybe, but I wouldn't your breath just yet. similar thing happened when 2.2 was released for O2 and unlocked devices. The landing page changed, but the update wasn't pushed till about a week later.
also this is a bit too close for "a couple weeks" as dell/att stated

I just talked with a rep at the local at&t store. He said that the upgrade will happen in February, and that the stores are now providing training on the upgrade to their sales people.
I have a feeling it will be released around the same time as the Dell Streak 7 which is suppose to be around the corner. I am sure they share the same Dell Stage UI on 2.2.
Keep our fingers crossed it is soon... tired of this 1.6 slow thing...

That sounds like bull because the update is supose to be sent directly to your phone all you have to do is download it and run it. You dont need training for that. If you can read and follow directions anyone should be able to do it

Rogers update page changed today too; from a generic Dell "phone is up to date" to an actual Rogers branded upgrade page, the message was still the same.. something like "rofl, can't believe you bought at 1.6 device... we pwned you!" or the sort

Given the number of threads on modaco about updates going wrong etc, training is probably quite a good idea! But I imagine what they mean is training on how to use the Streak with 2.2 installed, given the big changes that have happened to the ui in the update.

The training they are referring to is training for the new features for the sales reps in the stores.
Feb 2 is the release date for the Dell Streak 7 and if is released with Android 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3, I would guess that the upgrade for the
Dell Streak 5 would be released as well.

Do they even sell the Streak in their stores? We lease space to an ATT store and the only Dell-branded product I've seen there was a 3G netbook.
Att does not sell the streak. Bestbuy has exclusivity on selling it. Like I said, att sales reps in the stores have no idea what the streak is

I went to the AT&T store to look at a Streak, and the Rep had to ask another Rep, who asked another Rep, who asked a manager what a Streak was. The Manager said they don't sell it, they you had to either go online to AT&T or Best Buy to get one. They were half right because you can't buy them from AT&T online either.
i was on the phone with a rogers retention manager because they messed up my bill after i got the streak. the rep didnt know what a streak was either but at least she was smart enough to say she wanted one after she looked it up

Well, perhaps training on 2.2 since some of their phones may eventually have it. I sincerely doubt that it's training on the Dell Streak.
Of course, who would believe a saletron from an AT&T store? It's almost as bad as those idiots that say "well a Best Buy saletron said the Froyo update to the Streak is coming out on February 1."
