UNSOLVED
Streak & Me
The decision to buy Dell Streak came, not just two months ago but 15 years ago.
I bought my very first computer from Dell 15 years ago and Dell was with me all the way, I was supported, valued and had this feelings of “security” with Dell.
That’s what propelled me to get Dell Streak – 15 years later – Dell now – just like Streak – just an elusion.
I just visited htc website – god; Desire Hd got its own website, to synchronise, share, back up, edit contacts, everything via net.
Anybody use Dell’s PC suite – to me it is just a gimmick, calling it a PC suite is an insult to other decent PC suits – well that’s my opinion.
With Streak – I have turned it off and on more times during this 4 weeks than I did with iPhone for the last two years.
I have taken it battery out more times than any other phone I had ever used during last 12 -13 years – though I want to say I stand by my decision to buy Streak – in my heart, I regret about that decision day and night.
How I am going to live with this device for another 16 months – pls god are you there ???
I have not experience any real problems with my Streak and actually very pleased with it so far. Must admit I have not tried the PC suite but apart from minor issues after upgrade to 2.1 it has been doing its job every day now for two weeks.
Cheers,
OlaThe reason been, Streak goes to a state which can best describe as – Living Dead – it is alive but does not respond to any interventions from the user. So the only option is to “kill” it and give life to it by putting the battery back.
This is not fun, having to do this some days around 3.00 am – as I do night on call shift.techrider62

My Streak has to be fully killed by removing the battery at least once a day. Unfortunately, we get zero response as to when 2.2 will be provided as an update, and I am about to root it and install it myself. Frankly, this will be my last Dell device. It is unfortunate that they can't get a stock Froyo build out in a few months.
I'll be ditching mine on Ebay shortly. Keep up the great work guys!
