[Streak 5 General] mormegil83:
Update: The three dell reps i talked to (one even being a supervisor) all claimed it would work with 3G, but ajftl on post #19 seems to have finally gotten a rep with a knowledgable responce, and after some research came back with:

12:19:31 AM Agent Donald T

yes we do have the unlocked version.. that can work with T-Mobile

12:20:06 AM Customer Manny

ok. work on t mobile 3g?

12:20:14 AM Customer Manny

or edge only?

12:20:58 AM Agent Donald T

2G with T Mobile.. 3G with AT&T

12:21:15 AM Customer Manny

ok .. thanks thats what i thought ...

SORRY! NOTHING NEW HERE... :(

Disclaimer: after my initial excitement of using this device contract free on TMobile USA with 3G and discussion in this thread, I have come to the conclusion Dell reps aren't usually the brightest when it comes to what they sell and the info delivered by them should be taken with a grain of salt. Given the fact that no rep would acknowledge the different frequencies used between TMo and ATT and would only refer to a phones "unlocked" status...

I just chatted with a dell rep on their website and they said the new unlocked streak will work on TMobile's 3G, HSPA+ even! Although i am skeptical it will be able to take advantage of the full speed... I tried to be as clear in my questioning as possible.

Here is my chat:

10:57:35 AM Mannilene_H Hi Mike! ;)

10:57:44 AM Mike Yes i was wondering if the new "unlocked" dell streak could be used on TMobile's3g

10:58:10 AM Mannilene_H Glad you chatted in today. ;)

10:58:21 AM Mike thanks

10:58:25 AM Mannilene_H Yes. As long as it's unlocked..

10:59:24 AM Mike So you are telling me for a fact that the new unlocked dell streak will work with Tmobile USA 3g network and not just ATT like the previous?

10:59:50 AM Mannilene_H Yes.

11:00:25 AM Mannilene_H Even with the other mobile network provider as well

11:00:26 AM Mike Wow cool I may have to actually get it then! do you know if it works with TMo's HSPA+ network?

11:01:31 AM Mannilene_H Let me check

11:01:34 AM Mike So sorry to keep verifying, but your saying the new unlocked dell streak will work with both TMobile 3G and ATT 3G? Sorry it's just blowing my mind because all the internet news is saying otherwise...

11:02:13 AM Mike and i've wanted this phone for a while but don't like ATT ;)

11:02:26 AM Mannilene_H Oh I see.

11:02:47 AM Mannilene_H Yes, it will work as long as it's unlocked ;)

11:03:02 AM Mannilene_H I've used the dell streak and it's a really great phone ;)

11:03:18 AM Mike Ok! Awesome! I just might get one in the next couple of days then!!!! :)

11:03:32 AM Mannilene_H That would be great! ;)

11:03:48 AM Mannilene_H You can place the order online..

11:04:02 AM Mannilene_H Or we could call you back once you're ready to purchase

11:04:39 AM Mike Thank you! I guess that is all! oh wait one more thing.. I read a rumore that dell is working on what i'll call the "streak 2" with a dual core processor have you heard anything about that?

11:06:05 AM Mannilene_H Not heard of that exact information yet. However the development team keeps on working on new products so sooner or later we might have that too.

11:06:45 AM Mike ok. Thank you!
