Dell Streak arrving tomorrow (the 4th)

The Dell Streak is launching exclusively on O2, and will be available on 24- and 18-month smartphone tariffs, 12-month and 30-day Simplicity tariffs and a range of data-only tariffs.

The 16GB Dell Streak is available for free on a 24-month, £35 a month smartphone tariff, including 600 minutes, unlimited data and Wi-Fi and unlimited texts. At £25 a month over 24 months, the Dell Streak costs £149 with the same text, data and Wi-Fi allowances, but 100 minutes. The 32GB version is available for free on a £45 a month contract over two years including 1,200 minutes and unlimited data, Wi-Fi and texts. On the £25 a month tariff the device costs £249.

On 18-month contracts, the same pricing and packages apply, although the monthly tariff increases by £5 in each case.

O2’s Simplicity tariffs allow customers to buy the Dell Streak for £349 (16GB) or £399 (32GB), starting on a £15 a month, 12-month deal or a 30-day package for £20.

For data only, customers can get the 16GB Dell Streak for free on a 24-month, £30 a month contract, giving 3GB of data and unlimited Wi-Fi. This rises to £449 on a one-month, £10 tariff including 1GB of data and unlimited Wi-Fi. O2 said the 16GB version is available for free on a £25 a month, 24-month tariff until June 30 , after which it will cost £49.

The 32GB Dell Streak costs between £99 and £449 on data-only tariffs.

Carphone Warehouse has signed up as the exclusive independent retailer for the Dell Streak, and had already said the device will be available for free on a £25 a month contract with mobile broadband or for free on a £35 a month contract with voice and unlimited data. It said the Dell Streak will also be available for a standalone price of £429.

Dell said the Streak is a “hybrid device that lives in the space between a smartphone and other larger tablets or netbooks.” It operates on Google’s Android operating system, and is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon mobile processor. It features a five-inch screen, five megapixel camera and 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
