Went to check out the new Dell Streak on line and hit the "chat room to agent" button to enquire if the Streak is available with 2.2 Android. Read this - Talk about get the sale quick and give the customer a load of bull:

20:56:46 Martin Lynch Initial Question/Comment: I am interested in buying the Streak for work use and may require 2-4 pieces. When will you be releasing it with Android 2.2?

20:56:57 System You are now being connected to an agent. Thank you for using Dell Chat

20:57:40 Martin Lynch The email is XXXXX telephoen number is XXXXXX

20:58:47 Vijaykumar_Nelli You can upgrade it to 2.2 from Android web site once you have bought the Streak Martin

20:59:18 Martin Lynch Are you 100% sure? I spoke with Dell earlier in the week and they told me it isn't available for that product yet?

21:00:34 Martin Lynch We use all Dell products at work - and a very large Server also!! One of my IT guys asked on Monday I think this week and Dell replied it is not available because of the Overlays you have installed in the system and will follow later.

21:01:12 Vijaykumar_Nelli Its not available with DELL Martin you need to upgrade it from Android web site

21:02:47 Martin Lynch "Dell on Tuesday announced launch plans for its Android-based Dell Streak handheld tablet , while also confirming that the device will get an upgrade to the Flash-capable Android 2.2 later this year"

21:03:22 Martin Lynch "At launch, the Streak will be running Android 1.6 (Donut), but the device will receive an over-the-air upgrade to the new Flash-capable Android 2.2 (Froyo) later this year, a Dell spokesperson confirmed. The mini tablet will also come pre-loaded with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube apps, and Google Maps featuring free turn-by-turn navigation."

21:03:48 Martin Lynch Maybe I am being given incorrect information...?

21:04:18 Vijaykumar_Nelli Yes Martin its not available on streak as of now but you can buy it with 1.2 version and get it upgraded to 2.2 on Android web site

21:04:43 Martin Lynch You mean 1.6...

21:04:53 Vijaykumar_Nelli Yes sorry

21:05:45 Vijaykumar_Nelli Could you tell me when you will be able to place the order for this computer please?

21:06:03 Vijaykumar_Nelli Could you tell me when you will be able to place the order for this streak please *

21:06:56 Martin Lynch If you can confirm 100% that I can update to 2.2 once I receive it then I will order - but I think the info is incorrect - This is another press release from Dell only last week: • Dell Streak Dell has confirmed this new Android device will be upgraded to Android 2.2 before the year's end.

21:07:43 Vijaykumar_Nelli For this please contact Sales on 0844 444 3924 between 9am to 9pm.

21:07:58 Vijaykumar_Nelli For the latest and updated information please

21:08:34 Martin Lynch Okay - but be careful telling customers that they can upgrade to 2.2 - I think it is wrong.

21:09:16 Vijaykumar_Nelli Sorry if i am wrong but yes as you said i will confirm it once again

21:09:18 Martin Lynch Or otherwise all info released by Dell as recentlly as Wednesday is incorrect - which is very unl;ikey
