Rooted dell streak..still eligible for upgrade to Froyo

Hi folks ..I am very new to android and jus moved from the blackberry...miss the ease of use though ..I am trying to get used to the dell streak...especially the keyboard...
I got the phone ..paid to get it unlocked ..then as suggested in the forums ...rooted the phone.
With all the noise that dell is coming up with the froyo for dell streak ...I wanted to know if I will get the update even if my phone is rooted ..
Iam sorry if this is a repeat question.....
thank u all for all the excellent dedicated effort and support to make the life of dell streak users better ..

If you ate still running the stock 1.6 then you will get the update and if by any strange reason you do not then I am sure the update will be on here in a matter of hours

My last phone was an X10. The Streak is way better. Just sell it and bite the bullet.

sorry If I hurt someone feelings about SE or Nokia.

x10

PC Pro review

If you're in the UK at the moment, check out this months pc pro magazine, it has a review of tablet phones, although not totally dedicated to the streak it quotes the streak as being the best out there by far at the moment

Seriously pc pro need to look at some proper phones streak is awful I sent my steak back after 2 days bad software and bad build quality now have desire hd haven't looked back. Dells customer service its the worst in the world took months for a refund I'd hate to try to sort a warranty claim out... Dell are second rate never again (i always bought dell laptops until my steak experience)

Every one is entitled to there opinion
I Sold a HD2 the day i got the streak and do not regret it one bit and only thing that will make me sell the streak is the streak 2 next year

x2. Learning curve from IOS to ANDROID is pretty steep lol. But in a good way; being open and being able to customize the phone the way YOU want it.

I come from first blackberry and the ios. I felt rather stupid using the iphone because k couldn't make anything mine really. I have had this bad boy for a week now and I love it!!! Its a great device and there is no way I miss the iphone 4. The only thing I miss is a game called "carcassonne" great game. I played my friends all the time over the web. Since I still have my iphone 4 I can still play over wifi. So the world isn't over just yet. Haha. Enjoy your super cool device and have fun.

The best thing I can advise you is "have fun"
Have a look around and see what apps other people are using that may help your transition to Android.
The only thing I would say, if you get into Android, you will be happy, there is sooooo much more you can do with this OS

Welcome to the Streak family all of you hope you enjoy it

Quick question. Is there a quick how to root for dummies lol. I have rooted my tilt 2 before and im somewhat familiar to rooting so i can root this sucker as soon as i get it delivered.

Front Cam#!?/=#&$?

I retired my Samsung Captivate and before that Iphone 3gs, and purchased this beautiful piece of communication and I am troubled that the video chat doesn't work. If my son tells me I should have gotten a Iphone 4 me heads going to burst, been there, done that boring. Will there be a fix........

Gotta wait for 2.3 Gingerbread or wait for Steve to port the Camera app over to 2.2

Depends which application you are using, oovoo works with front camera, I have spoken to both fring and tango devs and they say they are actively working on a fix for the streak. Unfortunately the tango app dev said he can't get his streak to froyo yet so he's waiting on the upgrade : smirk:
