Dell Streak comes in Red and White also available unlocked and will ship with Froyo


Yup, you can now get the 5" tablet (more like an oversized phone) from Dell in two different colors and when you get it over at Dell.com it will come unlocked and will run on Android 2.2 Froyo.

The Dell Streak was launched way back in summer (US) and was shipped with Android 1.6 Donut. Today you can get the said tablet from Dell's online store unlocked and with two different colors, Cherry Red and Pure White.





It will also run on Android 2.2 Froyo. For those who already have the Streak, Dell have said that their will be an OTA (Over-The-Air) update to Android 2.2 Froyo for those Dell Streak that are running on 1.6 Donut.

You can get a new Dell Streak shipped with Froyo for $579 to US customers, and as what I have said, at Dell.com.
"Another new option: for an extra $99, you can have a 32GB microSD card in the New Cherry Red color or in Carbon Black."
Talking about the OTA update to existing Dell Streak owners running on Android 1.6, a snippet below from Dell's blog will basically tell you about it.
"About the Froyo OTA update

Everything I've said up to this point applies to customers who want to buy an unlocked version of a new Streak in the United States. I know there's a lot of existing customers out there who want to run Froyo too. In case you missed it, in her post, Amy mentioned that we're handling the OTA upgrade in two phases. Right now, we're still rolling it out in Phase I, which are customers who purchased unlocked Streaks outside the United States.
Phase II is when we will roll out to units that are SIM-locked to a carrier. All Streaks sold in the United States up to this point fall into that category. Bottom line, like Amy mentioned, we continue to work with carriers for technical approval and we expect to roll out the Froyo OTA upgrade to Phase II customers later in December."
