Ordered a DS7 on 11/17 and was given an EDD for 12/27, I've been on the Dell Forums and a few people have claimed the same as well (Give or take a few days). Some have called Customer Service (My boyfriend has as well and hasn't gotten anywhere with them!), some have Emailed. Does anyone know what is going on? Any help would be appreciated.

If you've been on the Dell forums, then did you order it from Dell? If so, the 12/27 is probably because they are waiting on returns from stores since they announced the Streak 7 was discontinued.
Yeah I ordered it from their website on 11/17. They gave the EDD for 12/27 before they were discontinued. But them waiting for returns makes sense. I've also heard QVC sold 30,000 of them and that Best Buy sold a lot on Black Friday. The there's also a rumor in the boards that the the screen and battery life are vein worked on but I'm not holding my breath for that haha
Weirdest thing, went on their site today and my order was canceled then a new order was set up (still the tablet that I wanted) and now it's being shipped and should be here by Monday! I'm excited but at the same time this has been the weirdest online ordering experience I have ever had!

When your new s7 arrives, you should check what rom is preinstalled and report back
I bought my Dell Streak 7 on 11/25 and the estimated delivery was 12/26. Was not happy.
Then a week ago I got a email saying my order was changed. Called Dell, they canceled and re-submitted the order he said and the new delivery date was 1/15.
Was REALLY HOT after that. Went to 5 different people letting them know they ruined my kids Christmas (ok not my kid, but mine!)
I got tired of waiting on the last guy when I called on Thursday and was too busy at work to deal with them and figured the weekend is probably not the best time to rip a new one on someone, so was going to call today. Either I made a impression on someone or they just hurried things up but Fedex dropped off a dell streak at my house this morning. running 3.2.
Thought I'd let you guys know.
Good luck with your orders.
If it was preinstalled, what rom was it exactly? 506 or 507 I presume?
Not sure what number your looking for. I'm used to working with Phones.. My first tablet.
Android version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.3
OEM version GLUNB1A351230
Build Number 20031
I assume you would be looking for the build number.
Mine is a Wifi only version.
Now to get this stock Dell crap off. Looks like garbage compared to my samsung epic 4g. Hate how things are reversed. Status bar on bottom, delete when holding a widget is on top. and Man,, adding a widget.. Thats the worst.
Hope those of you waiting get your streak soon.
Merry Christmas
Well you have a rom that noone else does, would you be willing to make a nandroid or nvflash copy before modifying it?
Just as much if you dont and you break something, you'd be stuck downgrading to an older version.
The easy way is to use clockwork mod and make a nandroid, but that would mean losing the stock recovery.
If you are comfortable with using nvflash that can dump everything safely.
If you can meet on #dellstreak7 on freenode I can walk you though either process
Edit: it's also more or less completely 3.2 stock, there's absolutely nothing noticable changed, if it wasnt for the preinstalled stage widgets it might as well be a stock experience minus the quick updates (3.2.2 has been out for a while and 3.2.4 just released recently)
Got the same specs as mobilemedic

First device launch i have seen that had ZERO posts on XDA.
I guess Dell really messed it up...as it does not look like anyone is interested.
I got mine today and I'm having a blast on it. Looking forward to see what comes about here.
Just ordered one. Will have it in a week hopefully. Lets hope The dev. On this will be good.

I am very interested in it...Trying to see some reviews/opinions on it first before purchasing. What do you guys think so far of it?
I just went and played with one in the store today. I'm purchasing a tablet as soon as my refund comes, and don't want to shell out big bones for a 10 inch. I've decided Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak. I was impressed with the Streak, and with Samsungs update history, I will be getting the Streak. Next week! YES!
I got one after I read all the reviews. I don't think the Streak 7 got a fair shake. I am happy with it. It is fast. It has HSPA+ and wifi tether. I'm not to concerned with battery life. I wish my T-Mo store got more cases for it. All they got in were purple gel skins.
Im stuck I just got the nexus s and I have the streak 5 but streak 7 is fail you can't make normal calls like dell pushed

video review
check this review out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-B6wAs-aPo
I went ahead and got it because I got the subsidized price. It's very fast and works great....viewing angles can be tough at times but aside from that, I am happy with it
I got one but I'm probably returning it tomorrow for a Galaxy Tab. Half the batttery life, worse screen resolution and no phone will make me switch to the Galaxy Tab eventhough it's both older and more expensive.
Anyone care to share if you think there will be ROMs that allows one to use the phone?
Picked my 7 up today. 249.00 - 50.00 credit for telling them I got an email with code STREAK4G and -50.00 rebate = 149.00 = Me Happy.
The resolution is fine for me. I found the Galaxy Tabs web text a little too small for me.
So for all who are interested. Have had mine for 2 days now and I absolutely love it. The battery life doesn't bother me much. Getting about 3 hours of nonstop browsing and game playing. The viewing angle could be better but the way I see it means people sitting near you can't see clearly what your doing. Lol
I am a Tmobile customer and just let me say the 4G on this thing is crazy fast compared to my G2 phone. I love the 4G speed on my phone but the Streak 7 just seems to get a better signal. Could possibly be because the antenna may be larger.
If there are any other questions feel free to ask. I will be more than happy to test something for you.
I am going to hold out on rooting it until I start getting bored with what it can do now.

I picked one up...
I picked up the Streak7 on Tuesday. A previous poster commented on the battery life and I have to concur -- But I think I found the culprit -- It's the Cellular Radio. When it's on, it will drop 18-20% in an hour. I really thought the dual-core CPU would be the issue but it really isn't.
I will say this -- It's fast as hell! I couldn't be happier with the speed for launching apps, scrolling, yada yada. You'd sort of expect that with a dual-core CPU, though, right?
I think that same poster made a comment about the display. I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed. Samsung, I think, I did a better job here. Unfortunately, my Galaxy Tab is on Sprint, doesn't appear to work with Rom Manager and I haven't been able to install a different mod on it yet. *sigh* Oh, how I wish Cyanogen was available for BOTH the GTab and Streak7. Sooo much better than that stock crap they put on there.
I just picked mine up today . One thing I can say its way faster than my vibrant and G2. I just hope I would be abel to put honeycomb on it

I'm going to stop by the T-Mobile store today and see how it looks/feels in person before deciding if I want one. Also, I'm going to hold off on any decisions until some honeycomb ports start showing up. Still, it looks very promising from everything I've seen. If I get it though, it will be off contract and I plan on using it on wifi only since I don't live in an HSPA+ area.
Hellzya, Yeah I ordered as soon as I got the email form dell stating they were available. Had been waiting on it I'm pretty excited.
I called staples to check the availablity of Dell Streak 7. The representive said there will not have new stock of Streak 7 coming soon. Because Dell actually recalled Streak 7.
Do anyone know more, and does Streak 7 have problem for recall?
I think it's possible...
I had to go to 4 staples stores before I found one.
1 store said they had 4 in stock, until I got there and they couldnt find them... then the manager had to teach the sales associates how to understand their POS system. Apparently, their system will show the Staples store has them in stock, until Dell actually receives them.
The manager told me that they dont know the details, they were just told to RTV them.
Also, one of those 4 stores I went to actually had one in stock, but for some odd reason, the manager wouldnt sell it to me... His only response was "you dont want this one".... and wouldn't explain any further.
Whatever! I got mine!

Haha...nice
When I called Dell for another question today I directly asked if there was any sort of recall and if they still are supporting the device. He assured me of no recall and says full support is still to continue. Of course this is coming from a Dell trained employee so only time will tell...
Seems there may just be some sort of issue between Staples and Dell?
I just purchased mine on thursday at a Staples with the $100 dollar off coupon without any problem. They still had 3 or 4 left in stock (they were selling faster than the other tablets) Nice cheap way to test out if a tablet is right for you imo.
Its no wonder seeing as T-Mobile has discontinued it too.
This is very unfortunate. DELL really dropped the ball on this one, big time. Awesome device; all they needed was some proper software support and a smidgen of advertising. I really don't know why they even made the Streak 7 if they weren't going to support it. Then again, DELL is one of the few tech giants that actually spends less on R&D than Apple.
It's still listed for sale on T-mobile just not with a contract discount.
I work for a T-Mobile authorizied dealer.
We got word yesterday that tmo is no longer supporting the streak. We are unable to order any more. Word is once stock is depleted tmo will offically eol the streak. As of right now it is available online and in stores that still have them in stock

And right after they updated the Sync and added that other cloud software.
I'm happy with my DS7 WiFi and will continue with it until it's no longer supported and/or out of warranty and then I'll release the hacking/programming hounds
thats why i bought insurance on it through tmobile so in about a year when they cant be found anymore they will have to replace with a similar device through asurion its 130 dollars.

I doubt it, but nice thought. Of course simply for that reason it probably won't happen. The fact that the unit is being discontinued probably means they're not going to invest more into it. Best bet will be for the dev community to be our only hope.

I finally got a chance to order a touchpad through hp's site.
I almost got to the end when it said something like:
Thank you for choosing HP your order has been place blah blah blah
I hit next after refreshing for 15mins. It says that they had an issue processing the credit card and gave me 4 options
Edit billing info
Change payment option
And two others I forgot.
As I went to edit the billing info my pc shut off, ruining everything
I'm wondering if my order was actually placed. Please someone help.
There's no way to login to the business sit with the username because I registered during the process
Help please!

How are we suppose to help? Don't you usually get a confirmation email. If you didn't get one, order again.
The thing is I got an order number but never got a chance to write it down. I don't want to Be double charged.
i would call hp but i would just completely stay away from the touchpad i know its webos but it was incredibly buggy and they didnt sell any of them so itll probably be eold sometime soon
If I can get it for 100 I'm taking it
Iwait 25 mins to talk to someone who just kept saying do the transaction again. They have no idea that it took me 2 hours to get one. Thanks again guys
You do know the touchpad n webos just got axed right?

Seriously ... if it would come down to like $150 ... I might buy one. It can run Android apps so I'm all good with that. I was looking for a tablet for a long time before I bought my laptop (not much of a laptop considering it's an 18 incher). Although I would still like something with a screen larger than my phones while chilling on the couch.
I hear bestbuy was dumping those. Trying to make HP take em back for not selling...nut for 150 is take one haha
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I heard Bestbuy will be selling them in the store on the East Coast (I'm in NJ) tomorrow. I ordered it of the SMB site but they say it was a glitch. They said they will receive a new stock next week, and my order says it will arrive around the 26th so I'm confident the order is firm
Check your credit card for purchases
HP Touchpad for $100
GOD DAMN IT!!! My friend just told me that Best Buy and HP are selling HP Touchpad's for $100. I just checked online and they are all sold out and all the Best Buy's close to me are sold out also. The Best Buy close to my work has them in stock, hopefully they will continue to have them in stock when I go over tomorrow during lunch.
There are also developers who are trying to get Android on the Touchpad. Think about it, a $100 tablet running Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich.
According to a tipster with some inside info and multiple confirmations from various sources within Dell, the official Honeycomb update is expected to be released for WiFi Streak 7s on Friday, October 7th.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't update both at the same time. Some websites have said that T-Mobile is not supporting the S7 any more, but it is still for sale on their site.

Looks like they have left over inventory. Its a shame that neither Dell nor T-Mobile wants to promote their products. I don't recall ever seeing an add for the Dell Streak 7. How can people buy them if they don't know anything about it. I have to say Samsung & Apple is doing a great job at advertising their product.

Actually I think they are refurbs. But the point is that if they are still selling it they should be supporting it with updates.
Hi everyone I just wanted to confirm that the HC 3.2 for DS7 is out in UK.
Not sure if it's UK only or whole UE.
I've got wi-fi only wersion. If you have one check your update today
Btw; It's awesome !

Yeah mine was ready yesterday as well but I couldn't upgrade because of low battery. So i charged it up over night and did it this morning ;]
The upgrade was also available for my device yesterday evening.
Now I'm a happy honeycomb user
Pros: Everything is faster now. Does honeycomb use both CPU cores?
I can now install applications which were not compatible when my device was on android 2.2
Cons: I think the screen clarity is worst than before. The on screen fonts and icons/widgets were better in android 2.2, most probably cause there are smaller now
Does anyone know will the Over The Air update work on a rooted DS7, or do you have to unroot it in order to update. I am assuming that the rooted DS7 will see the update because it is just a website, right?
Is this only available in Europe? Or will I be crying tears of joy here when I get home.

Root = updated su permissions + superuser.apk. Neither would affect it.
On a X.X.X to X.X.Y upgrade, you'll also have to be concerned about if you removed apk's or otherwise modified things.
In the case of Froyo to Honeycomb, I'm pretty sure it's going to nuke /system entirely and that won't matter at all.
Gents, can anyone give download link for wifi only version ? or at least give version and build numbers ?

I was thinking along the same path. Thanks for confirming it.
being rooted NEVER matters to the ota updates on dell devices, the only thing that matters is having the stock recovery installed.
If whoever got the wifi version could post any details about their old rom version or the newly recieved one I can prepare update notes
i just hacked the stock recovery so i could update to this http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334000&servicetag=20QBPQ1 witch is the wifi version

There's rumblings out there that official HC has dropped for the 4G model. Can anyone confirm this?

Why would China get the 10" Dell Streak before America? Why would Dell put a crummy screen on an all-screen device? Why would Dell gimp the battery?
I don't try to understand Dell, anymore. I loved this tab, but I'm starting to think it was a mistake to purchase one. Too bad I don't have the money for whichever tab Sammy comes out with on T-Mo.

NOt a mistake cos they no honeycomb right now for it, never was when you bought it. There's no 7 inch that got the whole lot good.... screen, battery and OS, never will be. Would never need to buy another one if there was.
Streak 7 does the whole lot tho... can get away with most the gameloft and other latest games on it, got some of the best power behind it. Can probably do pretty much the whole android package...
Saying that though, some of the guys over there on the dell support forums claiming they got the official OTA. Every one should push them for a dump...
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/3824/t/19391686.aspx?PageIndex=7
If there's any truth in those posts all we need are any details of the update page.
Whatever rom they were on, and possibly their service tag if dell's being fickle and handing it out in phases.
OR just the update page/update.pkg url.
Of course you'll need to reflash back to 2.2.x to install it as all the custom HC roms repartition the device
Pretty much true,
Their build.prop would pretty much do most of it. Very much doubt they have it though, just news just after news about an expected OTA date. Push amigo, push...
