Dell Streak release delayed

Despite the message and pre-order form they put on their website Tuesday, Dell insists the much anticipated device will not be released this month. The announcement, which was posted on Tuesday. informed visitors that the mini internet tablet would go on sale at the end of the month and that they could return the next day to pre-order it. The announcement was yanked Wednesday morning as Dell claimed it was a mistake. Those that sent in pre-orders will be sent an email entitling them to upgrade to a new phone for $299 with a new contract. There was no apology given and the FAQ stating the device would be available in late July was quietly deleted as well.

What gives, Dell? First you ship servers with malware ridden firmware, now this? I also have to wonder why you made the Streak to run on AT&T, which we all know has the worst network. Perhaps you missed the all the grumbling from iPhone users who? Now a new data hungry device is being added to the network. and it’s bound to make things worse.

Will you be getting a Dell Streak? Why or why not?
