I would be very interested if there are any users of the Dell Streak who have had a good experience with it.
I am an IT professional (CISCO networking, Telecommunications, Servers etc). I have worked in IT for 10 plus years and would like to think of myself as being technically competent but:-
I am currently a very disappointed user as my Dell Streak is under repair with O2 as for some very strange reason the ear piece has stopped working. I have been promised by O2 that this repair should only take about 2 weeks but I must say it is the final insult after a lot of problems which are:-
01. Released with an old OS, Android 1.6
02. Random Screen Freezes
03. Email accounts that do not update
04. Small keyboard, lots of typing errors
05. Unable to view Flash content
06. OTA update to Android 2.1 left me having to reinstall apps
07. Android 2.1 not finished, lots of problems
08. Had to remove the battery numerous times
09. Unable to end telephone conversations
10. Screen had to be recalibrated 5 times
11. Volume controls swapped after upgrade to 2.1
12. Back cover plate and battery very hard to remove
13. My girlfriend has an Apple Iphone and guess what she has not had one problem.
And I spent £400 at O2 for the pleasure.
Please respond with your views and experiences.

I have decided that if the Streak is fixable I will wait until the expected Android 2.2 (Froyo) upgrade towards the end of the year, this will be delivered from Dell themselves so I hope it will address these problems.
Thank you.

I do really like the Steak, the hardware is very good. I really hate the idea of going to an IPAD or Iphone 4. The Steak is unique there is nothing quite like it, but I think you are right it just may have to go back.
I am now waiting for O2 to finish their repair but as I have been let down twice already with other equipment I wont hold my breath.
