The prize of Dell Streak has just reduced for only $400 US without any contact. This is $180 lower than what Dell USA were previously charging for the 16GB version of the SIM-free Dell Streak. The bad news is shipping will take quite some time: the cheap Streaks won't be knocking on your door until 11 January 2011.
Interestingly, the 16GB version of the thing will arrive with the Android 1.6 a.k.a. Donut on board, but getting rid of it is as easy as pie thanks to the available update to update to Android 2.2 a.k.a. Froyo which comes Over-the-Air. As for the 500-dollar 32GB version of the 5-incher, it will be serving Froyo out of the box.
