They only accept creditcards from uk, no other possibility if you don't live in uk.

I wonder if this means that the O2 locked ones will now be unlocked on request now that O2 are no longer exclusive?

Also, just asked what delivery would be - Estimated delivery 13th July. 2 Frickin weeks. Jeez.

I really want a streak but gonna wait a while longer and see if it gets upgraded to 2.1.

Maybe by then the price will have come down a bit...

@ekinlock

It's not getting upgraded to 2.1 it's going to be upgraded to 2.2 OTA by Dell due in September at least that is what has been said i just hope it's early September although everything is running well for me now the things 2.2 will bring along with the greatly improved performance will of course be welcome. I doubt the official price will come down the only place you can get them cheaper is on E-Bay where people are selling their unwanted upgrades.

Is that confirmed? because AFAIK the Streaks that CPW have been selling were locked to O2.

[Guest Arthur_Daily]

afaik your right, o2 contract = locked, o2 pay-as-u-go = locked

current cpw stock are o2 pay-as-u-go = locked (and more money than the same thing at an o2 store)

BUT

now the unlocked ones are out there, i wonder if cpw will restock now with the unbranded dell-direct models???

Ap[ologies, I did not mean to infer that CPW ones were unlocked, I was comparing unlock to locked ones from CPW.

Hmmm, going on holiday in August, might get it on o2 as i am due an upgrade with them, They should be unlocking it then also as Dell will be supplying unlocked units..

They will not ship to the USA and will not accept USA Credit Cards.

Don't forget Quidco

10% for the Electronics & Accessories category

7% for all other sales

So should be 10% then hopefully.

I bought my Streak from CPW today , Now I thought I knew what I was talking about with this sort of thing , and assumed that "SIM free" meant a generic handset with no operator firmware and no SIM lock - but as a few have pointed out on here, SIM free means (to CPW at least) that it simply comes without a SIM !! , mine is Locked to o2 and has an o2 Splashscreen ..no big deal as I am using my iPhone SIM with it anyway.

A bit annoying though (I hadn't seen this thread at that point ) ..The second annoyance was that the o2 shop just along the Mall (Westwood Cross , thanet) Told me they are not selling the Streak on PAYG , I pointed out that they were on their site , and that I knew people that have brought them instore on PAYG , but the Girl wouldn't have it !!

It was only that I didn't want to return empty handed that I gave in and paid CPW the £429 , could have come home and ordered one off O2 for £399 , or Truly SIM free from Dell !

Anyway , alls well that ends well , I got it home and love it ! , coming from an iPhone 3GS , an HTC Desire & a Nokia N900 (god awful device) I am really impressed !
