Hey Jenn I just followed your guide and it worked perfectly for me! I was wondering, though, it doesn’t matter that the data connection says “H” instead of “3g”, right?

@lMordredl The 2.1 update fixed it. The buttons only freaked out from using Superboot method to root stock AT&T ROM.
This is the official AT&T unit.

@scaronscar No problems at all for me. Check the tutorial on StreakSmart for instructions on how to do it.

I noticed that the buttons aren’t angered in this video. How did you fix that? Is this the beta or the official US unit?

September 7th, 2010 @2:41 am
That was a typo. Sorry!
It’s correctly identified in the tutorial and of course in Settings -> About Phone (as shown).

@eichman456 so ive heard, i have yet to see or play with the device but it just seems too big to carry

This would be great as just a multimedia device, but I think it’s far too big to be a practical phone because it won’t fit in your pocket properly and like you said, “it looks comical” when it’s up to your ear.

Not having flash is a shame right at launch, but Dell has done a great job skinning the device. It’s very usable as a daily phone (once you get over the sheer size of the device).

1 &2) The kindle app really takes advantage of the 5″ screen, it’s much more useable than on the iPhone’s 3.5″display. The cool thing about the Amazon app is that ALL of your purchased books are available wherever you want (iPhone, Computer, Android Phone) with updated notes and automatic bookmarks.
3) I have 2.2 running on a Nexus One and flash is very good. The steak has an identical processor so it should be just as good.
September 7th, 2010 @9:29 am
these are my questions
1) how does a kindle book look on the Dell Streak?
(On my Iphone I am constantly turning pages because the screen is so small)
2) Will I be able to download the Amazon Kindle books (I already paid for) onto my Dell Streak?
3) Will the ALL videos that play on my computer (I’m assuming they are using Flash 10.1) play on my Streak . . after the 2.2 upgrade?

android 1.6! FAIL!!!!!!!!!!
September 7th, 2010 @10:16 am
You’ll have to google for it because I can’t post links here. The bluetooth issues are due to Android 1.6, once the 2.2 upgrade comes you’ll have more options.

Try the rock player beta for video, it plays just about anything.
September 7th, 2010 @11:04 am
hi I live in the uk and I have had this Dell Streak for a month now and would like to know what file format is easiest and best for watching videos on the streak and also why does the blue tooth not work with other phones except devices such as printers and headsets? Please help me thanks….. ps I love it and its worth the size cant wait for the 2.0 android update.

September 7th, 2010 @12:39 pm
It looks like it’ll be this month but we won’t know for certain until the official announcement from Dell and At&t.

@tjagolf33 No, nothing to worry about. H is HSPA, which is faster than 3G.
