Dell Streak to see 2.2 by year’s end, no T-Mo 3G [UPDATED]
UPDATE: Although the pre-sale page is back now, it was briefly down with a message about sales beginning tomorrow. [END UPDATE]
It’s a bit of disappointing to know that Dell’s 5″ monster of a screen will be displaying Android 1.6 when it launches on AT&T very soon, but Dell’s Lionel Menchaca reaffirmed that the gadget will see 2.2 by the end of the year (sooner if cookers have anything to say about it) and added that the company has no plans to support T-Mobile’s 3G bands and that the device will only be available in Carbon Black for the US launch. Cherry Red will come later.
One of Lionel’s earlier blog entries clarifies the Streak pre-order process. Make note of when those who register will get an email about their ready product: “next week.” Which is to say, this week. Check out a video of a Streak running 2.1 below:

Motorola has posted a detailed Android upgrade list over in their support forums that mostly confirms users’ suspicions, for better and for worse. What’s the worst news? CLIQ and CLIQ XT have been pushed from Q2 to Q3/early Q4… and Devour isn’t getting 2.1 at all.
DROID X is on track as planned for 2.2, and [...]
Gingerbread, then Honeycomb

Yes, a lot of people have guessed that the next iteration of Android – after Gingerbread, that is, which most are pinning at version 3.0 – would be called (the registered trademark) Häagen-Dazs. I guess that was just as likely as Hazelnut Hotcakes or Honeypot, but TechRadar has word that the post-GB release of Google’s [...]
Fix for EVOs with unofficial Froyo update

We know that HTC is working to get less patient EVO owners (like myself) back “on track” after we prematurely installed an unofficial update that we thought was the final, would-be, OTA Froyo package. Here’s to hoping that their official solution isn’t exclusive to Windows users utilizing HTC Sync.
For those who didn’t learn their lesson [...]

Here’s some news I am very happy to report. A forum thread dedicated to Echange 2003 problems experienced by DROID X users became a whole lot more interesting today when a Motorola rep explained that a fix was on the way…as part of the 2.2 bump headed for the phone in about four weeks:
“Some Droid [...]
DROID and DROID X Froyo updates: not yet, folks

I’m hesitant to post on the early availability of Froyo updates after I jumped the gun on bringing 2.2 to my EVO, and it’s just a well. Turns out that a file referred to by many as the Froyo update for DROID X was nothing more than the flash for the original DROID. I’m glad [...]
Dell teasing public with Streak

They still haven’t announced an official street date, nor have they notified me via email of the start of their 24 hour pre-sale, but Dell is definitely prepping the public for Streak. Not long after AT&T started knocking early demo units off of their network, Dell is sending out Streak advertisements to the masses.

Just in case you haven’t noticed, the Dell Streak is everywhere. It’s been available in the UK, and AT&T has had beta test units floating around the states to make sure everything is in tip-top shape for some time now. Unfortunately, according to some talk going on at MoDaCo forums, some of those beta Streaks [...]
HTC’s Froyo OTA for EVO floating around

Posted in 1 | No comments
I’ve heard several reports from DroidDog readers (and it’s all over the Internet right now) that many EVO owners who tap on Settings > System Updates > Firmware Update are prompted to install the official Froyo bump, 3.26.651.6. Alas, I was one of those anxious chaps with ants in my pants that opted for an [...]

Most of you have heard that the Android 2.2 update for HTC’s EVO 4G was made available today for download and manual installation (it’s all over our site), but you might have missed the update that came shortly after. Via their Twitter and Facebook pages, HTC publicly stated that the file (which was hosted on [...]

Dell still won’t say when it will actually start selling and shipping the Streak in United States, but on Tuesday they did clear up a bit of lingering confusion. What exactly did they clear up you might ask? Well it appears the Streak will be priced at $299.99 with a two-year AT&T contract, or $549.99 [...]
