The Dell Streak Android 2.2 update has been appearing across various networks over the last few weeks. We now hear that for those with a Dell Streak on the O2 network, you’ll be getting the update by the end of this week. No specific day has been provided though.
The new update brings a number of new features to Android based devices and when it eventually lands, we expect it to quickly be installed by a number of users.
As for those wanting Android 2.3 Gingerbread, or who are looking for the more tablet friendly Android 3.0 Honeycomb, there’s still a wait till perhaps mid to end of next year from what we understand.

It appears the problem is more with Dell than AT&T. There doesn’t seem to be any accountability from Dell with their official statements and their commitment to providing updates. There was a communication problem with a Dell VP and their public relations department in October about Android update 2.1 and when it was going to release. Then they said they will release Froyo by the end of the year with no exclusions or exceptions. Now it is only the unlocked phones that got the updates in 2010 and locked devices will be updated on the weekend of 1/12/2010. Either Dell is extremely misguided by their Android Developers or this dangling the carrot is an act of fraud. Either way it is about accountability and someone should be.
