Probably the last Dell Streak owners to get the Android 2.2 Froyo upgrade, AT&T customers will be disappointed upon hearing that Dell has decided to delay the promised update again. The said upgrade was expected to be deployed OTA starting last week.
Unfortunately, it seems that the carrier is postponing the Froyo upgrade for its Dell Streak customers “a couple more weeks at least,” which probably means that they will push it to whenever they want.
The information came from an internal Dell email leaked byStreaksmart.com:
“Sorry for getting back to you so late, but as you probably guessed we / AT&T are not releasing the update this week. I'd say a couple of more weeks at least. AT&T is pretty thorough in their QA sessions and that's where we are.”
Recently, AT&T has been voted as the least desirable choice for Android, as between June and December, the carrier failed to upgrade a single one of its nine Android phones that are still available for purchase.
The carrier's last hope to redeem itself in front of its customers was the “upcoming” Dell Streak Froyo upgrade, which was planned to take place between 12th and 15th January.
Even though Dell faults AT&T for the delay in getting the software rolled out, it seems that the manufacturer isn't completely blameless.
In this regard, many customers who purchased the Streak in the United States before November 23rd from other retailers have units that are SIM-locked to AT&T, which are still running on the Android 1.6 (Donut) platform.
U.S. customers who purchased the $299 version of the Streak with a two-year AT&T contract after November 23rd also have units that are SIM-locked to AT&T, thus they will have to wait “a couple more weeks at least,” hopefully, until the Froyo upgrade will be deployed.
