Android 2.2 Android Update Available for Download But Only for Unlocked Dell Streak
The wait is over for owners of Dell Streak owners with unlocked version of the streak. As of today, owners of the Dell Streak have the opportunity to download the point release -- but only if they've purchased unlocked versions of the device, which are limited to customers outside the United States.
Users of locked devices, meanwhile, still have more waiting to do. "Starting later in December, users on devices locked to a specific carrier (i.e. you can only use your carrier's SIM in the device) will start seeing updates as we work with our carrier partners for technical approval," wrote Amy B. in the official Dell blog.
NOTE: You can unlock your dell streak using Dell Streak Unlock Code By UnlockAllCellular
According to Dell, Streak users will reap several new features from the upgrade. Dell has added a Stage Interface, "a set of widgets that brings your data and content such as music, photos and email to your fingertips," according to the company.
That is on top of the Google-spawned Froyo features, which include better performance and memory management; support for Flash 10.1; support for Twitter, Skype for Android, and Firefox Beta; the ability to create a Wi-Fi hotspot; and improved Microsoft Exchange support.
Waiting is hard, but if it's of any consolation for Streakers, users of Motorola Droid had to endure a messy rollout of Froyo back in August and didn't get the full Froyo experience they expected. For example, the update didn't give their devices the ability to tether or become a mobile hotspot. It was also missing Adobe Flash Player 10.1 support.
