In business distribution channel is so important since it is the only what that you will reach the target customers. However for Dell Streak, after hitting in Europe, now it will be available in Asia but in locked version. This is also a good choice since the price will be cheaper than the unlocked one. Hope that the Asia Dell Streak will be on Android 2.2 Froyo or 3.0 Gingerbread.

If you haven’t have your Dell Streak updated to Android 2.1 (known as Eclair), then you will be able to find the way to update it within this post. It is very sad to see Dell shipped its Android phone on Android 1.6. However a guy in UK has managed to bring the latest version for your phone.
How to update
First you have to download Android 2.1 .pkg file and copy it to you SD card. Note that you have to rename the file to ‘Update.pkg’. You can find the download link here. When downloading, copying and renaming are done, you have to boot the Dell Streak into recovery mode and choose to recover from the Update.pkg file.

Finally, Dell will be offering the Streak to US customers direct from its website — unlocked — starting for $500. It seems to be great news; but unfortunately, it will be available next month. I think again if it is worth to spend $500 to spend $500 to unlock it. Hopefully, we can get more information after the break.
