Does this mean you have done it? It's unlocked?

No rooting isnt unlocking from the network. Well not unless its different on the Dell. :( This just gives access to the core files and means that the smart people like Paul can start playing and making the custom roms that most of us are using on this site.

I think that is correct anyway.

Seriously good work :( now the fun begins...what can we port? Interesting how we've had such difficulty porting different UIs onto other branded handsets. Noones got blur or timescape running well on HTC handsets despite the massive dev community...would love to see sense on this thing! And I guess it can be modded to oblivion now the root is there, overclock kernels etc will do wonders! Vanilla android will probably look a bit dumm on the screen.

Please get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy S oh great Paul.

Ah I see!

Shame that but good he's done this much so quick. I am sure Paul will get it unlocked within the week.

I would buy the streak tomorrow if I could get froyo on it.

With the device being rooted so quickly, does this mean that a froyo rom is any more likely?

I work for O2 and my understanding is that O2 have a Worldwide Exclusive on the Streak; they are following the same policy set in place when they had exclusivity for the Palm Pre - because it's exclusive to O2, they won't be allowing it to be officially unlocked.

Looks like another method will need to be used people!

I think you mean a UK exclusive as it's already been reported that it's coming out in the states sim free and unlocked and that Dell themselves are to start selling it later this month.

Sorry yeah UK exclusive.

Dell will sell it sim-free on their website from the end of June which will open it up in terms of exclusivity but the only UK network to stock it will be O2.

I should have one tomorrow, gonna sell my Desire to get this! :)

Just got mine today. I came from a G1, so in comparison, it's HUGE! The fact that it is now rooted was the deal clincher for me. I was considering this or the N1, and am so glad I went to the Streak.

Thanks so much for your work, Paul.
