UNSOLVED
Dear Santa...
Having received my Rogers-locked Streak last week with Android 1.6 installed, I'm hoping all this Android 2.2 Update issues is just a bad dream.
But back to reality, it's not a bad dream but a bad ordeal in progress for many of us. I fear to speculate just how far behind the Rogers update will be after the AT&T one? February, March, or even April 2011? Even as buggy as it is, 1.6 is like using WindowsMe while watching everyone else on Windows7!
Hacking to DJ Steve's Unofficial Android 2.2? Tempting, very, but losing out on future Dell updates, and warranty? What a dilemma! What would push me to do so? Application incompatibilities (too many), and being in Canada...we tend to wait extra extra longer (often seeing the product discontinued rather than supported). That was a very nice gesture for O2 to bring 2.1 to their customers, but that will never ever happen from Rogers (nor similarly from Bell, and Telus).
Back to dreaming...wouldn't it be nice if Dell surprises us during this holiday season, by releasing the update sooner? Like pressing the update icon on December 25th, and getting a response saying, "Welcome to the Android 2.2 Update..." Of course no manufacturer does that, the support logistics would not be practical and logical.
For now I watch all the YouTube videos of those showing off their Streaks with 2.2, and how well and fast they run. Plus seeing new higher performance reports between 1.6 and 2.2. I'm envious.
Dear Santa,
Please send more elves to Dell...

Don't care about the update. All I want for Christmas is the unlock code. You would think when a company opens up a service they would be able to provide it, but no. It's 6 days later and still no unlock code. It's bad enough that we have to pay for them. Never mind paying for it and not getting it. I firmly believe that the telcos are trying to sabotage the Streak. It must be too advanced for them. Lol. Beautiful device, too bad it's going back. I must say Dell that you did create a very desireable product. Too bad you don't have enough control over how it's distributed.
