[Streak 5 General] fogozito:
anyone has a 10% discount coupon? :D thats all i need to pull the trigger
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Fyi the shipping dates aren't correct. You will probably get it before that shipping date. I ordered mine on the 15th and got it two days later and mine shipping date was listed as January 4th

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
Thanks. I will still be patient though. I'm looking forward to join the big touch screen crew.
[Streak 5 General] stevencyc:
I tried to order the *unlocked* Streak 16GB version on Dell.com but when I try to checkout, it only accept shipping address in the US. There's no option to ship to Canada. The Dell.ca doesn't seem to have the *unlocked* version :rolleyes:

Anyone have any suggestion?
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
How long was your order in production lol. Mine still in that phase of shipping :( well i just hope i can get it before new years nothing better than ringing the new year with a new phone. I also played with this thing today at best buy and besides the f-ing alarm going off it was a great device it had 1.6 running on it and it flowed smoothly and keep in mind this was a display unit. So i can only imagine how smooth it will be with 2.2 and unlocked and relieved of any bloatware from att.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
I asked my dell rep why I have to wait a 15 lead time... so he called the factory and put my order on expedite.... hopefully I get it this week and start nodding and cooking my own roms to share.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
That is jacked up for real. I say if you know someone or have a relative in the states then ship it to them and have them mail it to canada. That is a bummer but not as bad as a situation as it may seem.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
I called right after reading your post and told them i was going to leave town which i am but probably back by the time they say it will be delievered he said he would call and send an email to expedite my order and that i should get a call back tomorrow regarding it also. so here is hoping.:D:D
[Streak 5 General] jtdroid:
Same here. I placed my order (16gb unlocked) and got it 2 days later, even though the shipping date said it would ship on Jan 8th.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
Yeah but im sure your orders didnt say in production lol. Mine does for some reason. Now i know why dell is liquidating product due to the new dell streak they're working on. Its ok i want a dell streak now and its unlocked for 400 wasnt a bad deal. I ve been back and foward right now telling them im leaving the country for new years so i hope they can get it to me before new years.
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Dell just cut the regular unlocked price, stating $399 now for unlocked but ship date is mid of Jan/11...
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I just ordered an unlocked Streak, the delivery date is projected as Jan. 18.

Already received the car dock I ordered the same day.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
thats what it says for mine. this waiting game is horrible i want my streak!!!
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
Don't put too much stock in those shipping dates. Ordered mine on December 15th got it on the 17th. Shipping date had been the 4th of January.

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I'll certainly be glad if the date is wrong and I get it sooner. In past orders from Dell the projected date has been accurate.

I have been looking at the Streak for some time and the price drop was the deciding factor. I use my phone more for email, calendar, internet and (when I get the Streak) reading way more than I do as a phone.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
mine still in production lol. i dont think i will be getting anytime soon lol. i hope im wrong though
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
Just curious if you guys were ordering the black streak, or the red ones? I ordered my red one on the 17th, and it still says in production with a delivery date of jan 12th. i've called them twice, tried today to have it expedited. they calld me back and said the date for delivery is still the 12th, lol.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I ordered black.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
i ordered black and its still in production also but mine says delivery date 18th of jan
[Streak 5 General] DJFriar:
I ordered on the 16th, expected delivery date was the 11th, and it arrived on thr 24th.

I ordered a 32GB Red. Although, had I caught that the 32GB only upgraded the MicroSD, I would have just bought the 16GB one. Oh well. I spent $570 out the door for everything including 2 day shipping on the Streak and the car dock and an extra cable. Also bought a home dock, but got free next day shipping on it.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
I ordered the red one.
[Streak 5 General] fogozito:
im tired of my X10 i just bough my streak the stimated delivery date is 25 jan, awww i hate waiting. :(
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
lol i know im getting inpatient and want my streak now. yet its still in production a whole week later.
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
I hear you guys on the anxious part. It's killing me! I've come close to canceling my order and just buying a black one off ebay. But I'm trying to hold out, I want the red one. Mine is still "in production" as well.
[Streak 5 General] shadowfactor:
The Streak is no longer on sale for $400. I called Dell and asked. It was a Xmas special.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
I checked the website it says that its still 399.99 now sure who you asked or talked to but the site still has it for 399.99 on the us dell site.
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
Just checked again and mine finally says shipped!
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
what was the original ship date? when did you order? tell me or i kill you (in achmed the terrorist puppet voice)
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
LOL! I ordered Dec. 17th. the original ship date (up until today) has said Jan. the 12th.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
i just got a call from dell saying that my streak is still in production and that i will get it as soon as its done. :( seem like ill ring in the new year with an old iphone i wanted my streak come new years eve and day. oh well.
[Streak 5 General] xexes:
Thx for this info.... isn't it interesting how the ship date on the website has fluctuated like some breach in the space-time continuum!

I ordered one on Dec 22... 1 wk ago... and it said delivery date of 1-18.... but since lots of others had said they got theirs much earlier than the Dell ship date... I was hopeful it would/will arrive sooner.

I check the website occasionally and on Sunday it had a deliver date of 1-12, but my tracking still said 1-18.... then the website started saying delivery date of 1-14 and today it is at 1-15...

Anyway... I am encouraged that your shipped, maybe mine won't be too far behind!

thx for the info...
[Streak 5 General] alanlin:
$400 ,unlocked 16GB ,red combine contract??

Hi All :

I'm new on this site.

Have one question here : The price $400 ,unlocked ,16GB ,red one need to combine a contract??

Or just simple unlocked phone??

Because I talked to Dell's online service , "She" told me that the price is 547.99 if I don't need a contract.

But many guys told me that they've checked out with the price $400 and didn't have any combined contract . (They still not get the phone yet ,shipping date is about 18th ,Jan).

Which one is correct:confused:??

Thanks ...
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
The unlocked red 16 GB Streak is still listed for $399 on Dell's site. You do not have to sign up for a contract with a carrier. I ordered a black one a few days ago.
[Streak 5 General] alanlin:
:rolleyes: Thanks for your reply .

But I heard that the contract will come with the device .(you need to sign when received)

Just want to make sure ......:confused:
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
alanlin,

There are members who have received the unlocked Streak recently so hopefully some will chime in here. I am waiting for mine, but have never heard about a contract being sent with the phone.
[Streak 5 General] alanlin:
OK , I see .

Thanks for your info .

Buy it now!!:D:D
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
It may have helped that I called and asked them to expedite the order. Not sure. You may try that. They'll do it for you. Just tell them you think it's B.S that it's taking so long, and you know plenty of other people have already got theirs lol. Mines supposed to be here today.
[Streak 5 General] Spectre51:
There is no contact with the unlocked devices. No carrier paperwork at all. Had mine since the 17th, ordered on the 15th

Sent from my Dell Streak
[Streak 5 General] xexes:
I did call them on Monday when I saw the delivery date of 1/12/11 if you bought a Streak on Monday ... I spoke to three people, progressively higher up the totem pole... and they all just kept repeating what I could see online re my order.

But I did not specifically ask them to expedite the order... maybe I will try that today.
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
Yea, I called them like 3 times total. My fiancee kept telling me to stop calling because it wasn't going to get here any faster lol. Could've helped;)
[Streak 5 General] psychozoidberg:
Hey guys,

I live in the UK but have family in the US. If I order off dell.com and my family ship it to me, will I encounter any problems using a US streak in the UK?
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
not if you buy the unlocked version. I believe all streaks are on the same radio frequency.
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
Fed ex just delivered it! YAY! My fiancee is at home playing with it while I'm stuck at work....Grrrrr.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
Yeah well you sir suck. My still in production.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
You better check that package I think it was mislabeled. You got mine by mistake.
[Streak 5 General] billykidd13:
Hey All,

Make sure you add the Plantronics bluetooth headset for $.99 with this! It's basically free and comes with the Streak if ordered for only 99 cents.
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
I'll be sure to check that Marvin :p
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
Streak still $99 at bestbuy mobile for renew and new
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
yeah but some of us arent willing to renew our contracts with AT&T.
[Streak 5 General] carhigh:
For those who are willing the sale is still on. It was supposed to end on the 18th but I stopped in and it was still marked $99. Maybe I should have just created a new topic to get attention to just the subject of the sale still valid
[Streak 5 General] fogozito:
i am from mexico and ordered my to a friend on the US, ill go to the states soon to pick it up =D!!!
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
im still waiting on mine!!im getting very impaient now!!
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
I know exactly how you feel. It was driving me nuts!! Hang in there, it's worth it!
[Streak 5 General] prelude_jdm:
They Don't ship it to Puerto Rico :(. I believe its a very good deal BTW .
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
im still waiting anyone else gotten theirs? Im still waiting for mine its still if f-ing production really? how long does i take to make one?
[Streak 5 General] xexes:
I called Dell last week to see if they could expedite shipping... cus I may not be at the address I had it sent to much longer... spoke to a nice woman who said she couldn't see anything more on her screen than I could see on mine re when it would actually ship.

I said I found it really amazing, after speaking to Dell mobility folks several times, that Dell can not track the internal production of a device... and she basically said "Yeah, if only you knew the whole story!"

But she volunteered to call me today with an update... she'll be off tomorrow and Wed so said she'd call today.

And she did... and I couldn't get to my cell intime so she left a message saying nothing had changed but that she had heard something about the red Streaks and wanted to tell me and left her phone number.

So I called the number, but got some dude in Dell "printers"... does Dell even make printers?

So he was going to transfer me back to technical support when I gave up and hung up due to several other crises I was dealing with on the homefront.

Now it was nice of her to call... but geez why tf didn't she *tell me* what the issue is with the red phones...???? I'm guessing there is a shortage, but don't really know.

I guess I'll have to spend even more time on the phone with a Dell rep tomorrow to see if he/she has heard anything about red Streaks.

Anyone else heard anything? Now am wishing I would have ordered a black one... and actually am thinking I should have just waited til march for the alleged delivery of the Palm/HP 5" Mansion smartlet.... which I may wind up doing.... oy!
[Streak 5 General] clarity1981:
Ordered on December 26th, still "In Production" with a scheduled delivery date of January 19th
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
One of the few times I called Dell, I did ask wtf was taking so long. he guy told me they just didn't have enough on hand to meet the demand. How true that is, I don't know.
[Streak 5 General] xexes:
Well, I got through to Dell mobiity again after several long waits for what turned out to be the wrong division of Dell.... tres frustrating Dell... can't you at least get your phone support system worked out?

When I did make it to Dell mobility... the rep was very nice... but knew nothing other than what was on the screen... I told her of the cryptic message re "something" being up with red Streaks...

so she did some research with her team members and came back with "there were a lot of orders placed in December so they are behind" and they really don't know when mine will ship. Also, she and they knew nothing about any problems with the red color... but she sent a note to the rep who said that in the voicemail yesterday, so hopefully she will contact me on Thursday.
[Streak 5 General] daesdaemar:
I ordered my $399 unlocked Android 1.6 with OTA upgrade to 2.2 on 1/2/2011 and it has "in production" message with expected delivery about January 27.

Here's my real question. If Dell is out of stock and having to build then to meet current orders, why in heck are they still building them with 1.6? They should all come with 2.2
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
It will come with 2.2 on it. Mine did, and I just got it this past thursday.
[Streak 5 General] daesdaemar:
Cool - if that's what happens...
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
Mine is still in production and I ordered on 12/21
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
I have to ask are you sure you didnt get mine by mistake? How are you liking your streak you lucky man you.
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
Where r u located ? In North america / Europe / Asia
[Streak 5 General] phongthan999:
even though Dell streak and iphone 4 have almost the same spec. However, iphone 4 is more responsive and better camera quality. Plus Apple always give you OS upgrade to make it better. And if there is anything go wrong, just go to Apple store and exchange it. The plus for Dell streak is Flash supported and watch movies without the need of coverting.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
Last I check this was a thread for those who are thinkin of getting a streak not compare it with the iPhone. Also the streak has a replaceable battery, replaceable memory, bigger screen, and android built that is more open than the iOS. The only reason iOS releases fixes is cause they release faulty software first time around. If android controlled the software like apple they be on top of it like apple. Since android is open for anyone to use the manufactures take time to release updates then the carriers. Either way the iPhone is a good multimedia phone. But I rather have the streak over my iPhone anyway.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
The sale is over!! I feel sorry for people who missed out.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I just checked Dell's site and it's still showing $399.99 for the 16 GB unlocked Streak and $99.99 for a 16 GB carrier locked Streak with a contract.
[Streak 5 General] ya2010:
Further details in addition to Marvin02's post....As per dell's US site, unlocked dell streak will remain on sale (with $180 instant discount) till November 24, 2011 (date is subject to change). However, they had stopped providing Plantronics Explorer 240 bletooth headset for $0.99 (now its available for $29.99)
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
Yea, I'm in the US. KY, actually.
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
LOL, sorry you haven't got it yet man. But, I am loving it! (not to rub it in:)) It's working out great so far. I'd like to delete some of the stock apps of off it. But that's not really a big deal. Battery life is actually better I think than my 3gs I had. I'd keep this over the iphone anyday. Iphone is same package, different wrapper, IMHO. If it just had tomtom, it would be perfect.
[Streak 5 General] stoney73:
its got google maps. co-pilot is available for it aswell.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
so confused lol

Lol yeah well i have to keep waiting but now with CES just a day away seems the Incredible HD will be coming to AT&T now im wondering if i should cancel my order and waiting for the incredible on my god choices choices choices. elp me out guys lol. I just bought a S9-HD heeadset also. ahhh im going crazy. I might keep it and just buy a dual core android sometime near the end of the year and keep the streak maybe pass it to my brother for half of what i paid by then lol. oh god what to do what to do.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
You may want to look at Navigon Mobile navigator if you want/need offline maps. I have not tried the mobile phone versions, but their stand alone GPS is great.

Of course Google Navigation is free.
[Streak 5 General] alien502:
I've ben thinking about trying navigon, and I've used google maps plenty. Just kinda partial to tom tom honestly.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
Just checked the email and my patience has paid off! 1-7-11 I will be the holder of a shiny red Dell Streak!
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
I apologize. The sale is still on! Thanks to the other members for pointing that out. Well my sister is getting one also.
[Streak 5 General] xexes:
Yes... mine is arriving today also!

Only 16 days, not too bad really... just kind of hard over the holidays...

Can't wait to try it out...

Only I wish it would get some of the Tmo AWS goodness that phonearena is reporting the Streak 7 would have... if there are no plans for it to get AWS, not sure what I will do.
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
I got it and I love it. The best phone GSM ever hands down. The best thing is the HSPA actually comes in handy because in some places during my 130 mile journey today I got the lovely H icon where i would normally get GPRS on my torch and my samsung captivate. I am impressed that I didn't drop down to GPRS at all. Unlocked is the best. I think AT&T is locking down HSPA out of its phones and leaving them on the laptop connect sticks. I noticed that in February but I was in Georgia. I can now confirm it since i was in my home state of Mississippi the whole time.
[Streak 5 General] daesdaemar:
I ordered my Streak on January 2 and it is still "in production" with the estimated delivery being January 27.

Did anyone really have to wait that long?
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Ordered mine Dec. 22 and estimated delivery is Jan 18. I am still waiting. :(
[Streak 5 General] yasir_jan87:
The dell streak is the best phone I have ever used I have used the iPhone 3gs, milestone(aka Droid), blackberry bold, blackberry tour and lg even. But the camera is the worst camera I have seen on a high end phone.
[Streak 5 General] ironhelix:
im just curious, are you on Froyo 2.2 or still on 1.6 ?
[Streak 5 General] nimdivino:
My favorite phone was the HTC EVO, and now the Dell Streak. Number 1 reason is because of the screen size but it does everything that my EVO does and in some ways is a little faster and longer battery life. I do miss the HTC Sense UI but I am crossing my fingers for someone to develop it for our Streak.
[Streak 5 General] alex_herrero:
I also bought it from dell some days ago, it should be delivered on february! Wow, I really need to be patient... :D
[Streak 5 General] marlondaley:
I ordered mine on the 7th estimated was the 1st February, just check it was shipped will be here on the 18th so there is hope.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
My phone shipped! Tracking says expected delivery Jan 18! :D
[Streak 5 General] rptw:
ordered mine today from my provider, they first said it was out of stock but then said 3-5 days, cant wait!

EDIT: weird how everyone seems like they are waiting but i got mine in 4 days =D
[Streak 5 General] weltwon:
How to get $399 price & Streak in your hands TODAY

1. Go to this link and print out the page: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellst...&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&model_id=mobile-streak

2. Take it to your nearest Best Buy store.

3. Tell them you want them to match the dell.com price and THEY WILL!

I did this on 1/14/2011 at the Best Buy in Henderson, Nevada and even had my choice of colors.

There is one problem with this method if you're planning to use any carrier other than AT&T: You'll get a phone that requires what they call a Subsidy Unlock Code. I installed the working SIM card from my Nexus One and when i booted the Streak it asked for the code. Took several hours of online chats with Dell, call to Tmobile and another call to Best Buy. End result was calling Dell Mobile support at 800-308-3355. After explaining my frustration, very nice Dell person phoned AT&T for me and got me an unlock code which instantly let me use the Streak with Tmobile.

As several other posts have mentioned, this thing runs very nicely even with Android 1.6 (almost as smooth and fast as my N1 running Froyo or Gingerbread).

Dell told me I'll be getting an update notice about upgrading to Froyo but she also suggested I look for a Froyo download on the dell website. Unless someone else on this site has already found that download page, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

BTW, I attended the 2011 CES Show last week which gave me a chance to tinker with all the new phones. Gotta say that the difference in screen size between the Streak and EVERY other smartphone available today (and unless somebody comes out with a 5.5' phone) will make you feel like King of The World.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
I cancelled my order when the matrix was announced. I'm tired of waiting an I bought one again lol. Now to wait till February 11 :-( oh well. I also bought the accidental insurance. I hate waiting.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
Have had my streak for over a week and loving it. Easily the best android phone I have ever seen. No lag. Working GPS and excellent battery life
[Streak 5 General] vasishta.sushant:
My Streak just shipped from the US and will be here in another week's time. Can't wait to try it out.

Already ordered commuter case for it.
[Streak 5 General] VinceT3:
I just got mine in last week.. now I keep telling my wife her iPhone looks small.. :)

Love the phone, slightly annoyed with the speaker in the back. Wish they'd put in the front on each side of the screen like the HTC Win7 phone. Still working on getting my UI setup to my tastes (dells ui was out the second day). Sadly I still haven't rooted it, though havent run across a need for it yet.
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
I was just checking out the dell site. It seems the Streak is no longer on sale for 180 off. they do have a sale of 130 off with a 50 dollar gift card. I also cant seem to find the red streak on their site now. Not tha tit matters i already ordered a red streak just waiting for it to get delivered.
[Streak 5 General] ya2010:
Delivery Delayed

I order my Dell Streak (16 GB - Cherry Red) on 31st Dec. At that time estimated delivery date was 26th Jan. On 25th Jan I got an email from Dell that due to some delay they can't deliver it on 26th Jan, now they will be able to delivery my Dell Streak on 9th Feb :mad: :(

Did anybody faced similar situation......
[Streak 5 General] blopez24:
My delivery date is 2/11/11 for a 16gb red streak. Maybe thats why they no longer have it on their site for sale. Interesting.
