Did many people buy the Dell Streak in the end? It seemed to all go rather quiet very quickly on that one, after all the initial excitement. At least Dell’s pushing ahead with the US release which is starting right now, and has confirmed plans to update the 5″ Android tablet’s OS – which will be upgraded to Android 2.2 by the end of the year.
But when your Streak arrives it’ll be down on 1.6 for now. Here’s what the Dell man said about Android 2.2 or “FroYo” for the tablet:
“Like I mentioned in my previous Dell Streak post, the Android 2.2 over the air update (Froyo) will come later this year. We will ship Dell Streak with Android 1.6″
And the impossible-to-categorise Android machine of which he speaks:
Link via Direct2Dell. The Streak’s for sale via Dell UK for a rather huge £449 if you don’t fancy signing up for an O2 contract.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ July 28, 2010It should get 2.2. I don’t think this could survive without Flash, but they need to get the release date straight. All this messing around is turning me off to actually purchasing this product.
