The folks at Streak Smart have uncovered some underlying phone functionality in the Dell Streak 7, but it isn’t pretty. The dial pad doesn’t show up in landscape mode, and calls made will make phones on the other end ring but won’t actually allow you to speak to or hear the person you’ve called.
Jenn from Streak Smart has a demonstration of this erroneous behavior in the video you see above. She describes it as being a “big problem”, but considering the functionality isn’t meant to be there, I can’t say I agree.
They’ve taken to their community of hackers to help get the functionality fully working. You can follow their developments here. It’s not uncommon to see full-blown phone functonality uncovered on a tablet. The same happened shortly after the Samsung Galaxy Tab was release.

Today is February 2nd. I haven’t checked to see if the groundhog has seen his shadow, but I did just double check the T-Mobile website to see if the Dell Streak is available as promised. Sure enough, it is. You can grab your 7-inch 4G HSPA+ tablet for just $199.99 on a two-year contract. It’s no Honeycomb, Tegra 2 monster, but at least it is a big improvement over the Streak 5.

It may not be running Honeycomb, but the Dell Streak 7 is available for purchase right now. Get it from T-Mobile for $200 (after a $50 mail in rebate) on two-year contract or contract-free straight from Dell for $450. All that cash will net you Android 2.2 Froyo running on a Tegra 2 behind a 7-inch 800×480 screen. Choose wisely. [Dell, T-Mobile]

T-Mobile has taken to twitter today to share a bit of good news relating to their upcoming Dell Streak 7. The 7-inch tablet has been officially confirmed to run $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a two-year service agreement. The tablet drops on February 2nd where customers can snatch it up from their local store or through the internet. This price comes in slightly lower than the rumored cost from a few weeks back where it was looking to fetch $330.00. We wonder if this is the barrier point for tablets that will not be introduced with Honeycomb now that multiple carriers are inching the costs down for the Galaxy Tab.
So, given the price and carrier, are you picking one of these up later this week? Are you ready to climb into bed with a two-year agreement or are you willing to wait a little longer for an Android 3.0 tablet? T-Mobile’s next tablet, the LG G-Slate is due in short order, where it’s expected to be running the tablet-friendly version of Android.

You know how it goes with OS updates — we’ll believe it when we see it. But the poor not-so-little 5-inch tablet may finally see Froyo in the U.S. next week — and none too soon, with the Dell Streak 7 on the way. Thanks, Mr. Snuffleupagus!
