Will I have to get Dell Streak Accessories from Santa...?

 So far no further news from Dell on when Accessoires for the Streak 5 will be released in Australia, I had heard originally that there might have been a slight glimour of hope they would have been released at the end of March... However its now May..


I mean how hard can it be? What is taking so long? As I stated in my last rant on this issue its just so frustrating that I can not get anything here in Australia and that I have to spend even more cash to get it from overseas.



Will keep you posted on this saga...




Any Streak owners out thier with the same frustion please leave a comment below.

Dell abandons Australian Streak Owners! No Accessories!

Ok I have owned my Dell Streak for almost 8 months (or so) and could not find any
accessories - Chargers, Cables, Cases sold in Australia. Thats right you currently can not buy anything related to the Dell Streak (other than the Streak itself) here in Australia. If you want to get anything for your Streak have only a few options available to you

1) Buy from the UK - Come on people that's not that cost effective still very expensive, for example the Car kit cost around £42.66 GBP so about $64.89 AUD then add shipping to this and you will most like get no change from a $100 bucks.

2) Buy from the USA - This is a great place to buy for Australian's as the ozy dollar is at an all time high so better than $1 for $1, same example Dell Car kit is $39.99 USD about $37.28 AUD however that is where the good news stops then your wallet gets slammed! Shipping you could be looking at $35 - $60 AUD for it to be sent. No here is another hurdle to leap across you can buy from Dell.com unless you have a USA address! To get around this you can use some of those redirecting services where they have a American address that your purchase is delivered to then you pay a small % to the redirection company and they forward it to your address overseas. What a bloody rigmarole.

3) Buy from Asia - This is what most people have to do in the ending as the market is closer, however most if not all are 3rd party and it is Russian Roulette if you get a dud and even luckier it doesn't fry your Streak if you bought a charger.

I have luckier than most as I am a News Editor for MobilitySite and have been able to request some accessories from some great manufactures like Otterbox, PDair and shortly Mugen Batteries - I will be reviewing the 1800mAh and 4800mAh batteries for the Streak, but I still have a bitter taste in my mouth that I can't get genuine accessories for my Streak.

So why can't Dell sell or let Streak owners know when they will start selling their accessories in Australia, one so called helpful employee at Telechoice Rockingham in WA stated that the Streak is not that popular so no accessories sold by them or Optus...

Ok that is my rant for the night... doubt that Dell or even Optus give a crap about their customers.

My New setup.... iPad + Keyboard Dock + Bluetooth Mouse

After getting a bonus at work I thought great I might be able to afford a new notebook as my wife keeps highjacking mine, but no just wasn't in the budget, but not to worry here is my stop gap until we can afford it....







I already had an iPad 16GB so thought why not just add a keyboard, so I bought Apple's Keyboard Dock and as I had jail broken my iPad I was then able to download BTStack Mouse from Cydia and bought a Logitech M555b bluetooth mouse and bingo I had a possible solution to my internet craving.

The mouse can be used to open apps and with most interact on a basic to intermediate level.

I have posted a full review at www.mobilitysite.com so head over there for more info.

Rumour: Dell Streak to get GingerBread 2.3? Or will it?

It seems that Dell might release GingerBread for the Dell Streak, this from Amy Bivin from Dell responding to @Arc28 via twitter. If they are releasing 2.3 I hope they don’t draw it out like they did with 2.2.

I remember when I was looking at the OTA upgrade last year and asking Amy about it. For starters I bought my Streak from TeleChoice here in Australia out right for $749 AUD and use it currently on Vodafone with no problems, I asked Amy when would we see the Official update for Australian Streaks, response was that my Streak (All Australian Streaks) was locked to Optus network so would get in December 2010 when the carrier released it… If it was looked do you think I could use it on Vodafone?… Just goes to show they haven't got a clue. In the ending I did manually update it to the Official ROM.

Here is the extract from the Twitter conversation….
