The wait is over! as covered earlier, the long awaited and hyped Dell Streak android tablet is now on sale in the UK without the bounds of a carrier. The price tag at 449 ($676) is significantly lower than the 16GB iPhone 4, but wait till next month and you can get it from USA for $500 as promised…mighty tempting isn’t it?
The Dell Streak is undoubtedly one of the best hybrid devices out there, filling that specific market overlapping the smartphone / tablet spectrum.
According to Dell website, the Streak shall be available to US customers direct from its website from next month for $500. This is an official ‘unlocked’ version, which only means I need to make some quick dirty money so I can order it.
