still waiting for malaysia launch......arggghhh...

i read somewhere, some guys bought DS from Singapore (that was before Starhub launch) to be used with Malaysia SIM, and they found no Android Market loaded by default?

anyway, patience is virtue. Who knows DS will be still cheaper when it's officially available in Malaysia just like iPad.

Hi,

Anyone has any idea if the "Unlocked with Android 2.2" on US Dell site is SIM Free?

Hi Benny,

I think previously even though there was an "unlocked" version but it's still SIM locked to AT&T, just that it doesn't come with AT&T contract?

by the way, why does SIM free version need CDMA? Sorry, i have much to learn in these.

@benny888: ya, i was actually thinking to ask about Rebel Sim. Any cons of using it? side effects? :-S

@toughnut: the unlocked ones are available on Dell US page, should be that one?

Nexus S out, unlocked only $529 in US. Hope that drives other prices down

hi StratOS,
how do you buy from US Dell? someone hand carry? or thru the likes of vPost, vsHub, comgate?

thanks. dropped irwan a PM.

btw, what's the problem with StratOS's DS?

hi, i just got a DS from irwan. Still using original Android 1.6. I'm sure there must have been some entries in this thread that tells how to upgrade to 2.2. Can someone be so kind to post me a link please?

hi StratOS, I would like to try official 2.2 first... try something official before deviating to customised one.
thanks

ic...don't really mind the O2 screen.

meaning, once flashed to O2 android 1.6, the 2.2 update will come OTA?

by the way, this is my first android device, i have no idea how to root / flash :">

er...failed at the first hurdle :-S

i scanned the barcode, it downloaded the apk, but i can't install it ("For security, your device is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market"

any idea?

oh i guess i should mention my device is at&t set.

irwan just provided the following link:

http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...ing-the-streak/

will they do the same thing?

ok, i'm still downloading the original ROM =.=
slow connection tonight.

thanks StratOS, Benny, Irwan.

another step, another problem...

"Put the recovery image you downloaded into the same folder as the fastboot.exe."

er...where to find this fastboot.exe? i downloaded from here is it OK?
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html

anyway, the problem is, after i press Shutter + Power, white screen appeared, i tapped on the top right corner for Fast Boot mode, then it shows "Wait for USB FastBoot detect", i waited 10s (as mentioned in the modaco link) then plugged in USB cable, but still nothing happened. Still showing "Wait for USB FastBoot detect".

before all these I have installed DellPCSuite on my WinXP pc, and restarted. Now can't even turn off my Streak

I'm now (almost) on O2 Android 1.6 after flashing the ROM. Do i have to go to 2.1 first before i flash Dell Official 2.2?

Any link that can guide me to download & upgrade to dell official 2.2?

TQ!

no, it's an AT&T set but unlocked with unlock code.
using original celcom SIM now.

i think i'll try your link. OTA download is too slow and unstable.
just lose my connection

Thanks!

hi StratOS,
I was trying to root it following the link you gave:
http://software2tech.com/tag/download-universal-androot/

however it wasn't successful. with message "Failed. No~~~ Fu Go~~~"
:'(

you mean uninstall Android drivers on my PC and install this one? and then plug in Streak?

it's still no root. "Failed. No~~~Fu Go~~~"

What i did:

1. downloaded the PdaNetA245_intl.exe from the above link
2. run installation
3. while installing, prompted me to connect USB to my phone, so i did and clicked OK
4. it says no phone detected, then i saw cancelled installation, saw an error with Dell Streak driver at Device Manager
5. i updated the driver manually
6. run installation again, and it's successful
7. run Universal Androot on my phone again, and selected Root for Superuser for Android 2.0~2.2
8. Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~
