Archived thread 1585121 from Hong Kong Team. Markdown source: Hong_Kong_Team/thread_1585121_REVIEW__Dell_Streak_5"_Widescreen_Tablet_(And.md
I bought my DELL Streak 5" Widescreen Tablet at Broadway yesterday at $5,499-HK. I played with the demo unit, which is version 1.6, and I was very satisfied with the performance and layout. So, I placed the order. When I was checking the device, I found that the device was equipped with 2.1-update1. Surprise!
I informed the salesman who changed the specification tag at once and he seemed to be very happy with this changes.

I love it an I'm quite impressed with battery performance and screen. Oddly, it makes better phone calls than my old iPhone 3GS. Perfect for browsing, thumb-text production and ebook reading (besides the Kindle app, a perfect reference book collection on the job (e.g. Skyscape)).
Here is the challenge: how do you hack and upgrade to Foyo from 1.6 with an Ubuntu OS? Seems relatively straightforward on MoDaCo but only with a Windows PC: http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-streak-streak-modaco-com/320025/guide-to-upgrading-and-downgrading-the-streak/
