Dell Streak on AT&T Release Date and Pricing Finally
So Dell and AT&T finally made it official. The Dell Streak for AT&T will be launching on August 13th (Friday the 13th by the way for you superstitious folks). You can get it on a 2 year contract with AT&T for $299.99 or buy it without a contract for $550.
We have to assume that the no contract version is still locked to AT&T and that even if it wasn’t it’ll only have AT&T’s 3G frequencies built in (so even if it’s unlocked for T-Mobile you’ll only get EDGE speeds, which is obviously a bummer). It also seems that Dell is going the way of Google with the Nexus One as the device is only available online at Dell.com and there is no mention of the device on AT&T’s website at all (but perhaps that will change after release?).
Here is the specs of the phone in case you need a reminder:
Snapdragon 1ghz processor |
512mbs of ROM and RAM |
5″inch capacitive TFT LCD touch screen with WVGA resolution (800×480) |
5MP camera w/ dual LED flash PLUS front facing VGA Camera for video calling (using a third part app like Fring) |
2GB of internal storage plus comes with a 16gb microsd card |
10mm thickness (compared to a Nexus One’s 11.5mm) |
Soon as they come out, I plan to grab one and put it through it’s paces (as well as root it and load some custom ROMs to show it’s potential as well as what it can do out of the box). Stay tuned for that next week.
