Bummer. In case you were planning to get your Streak pre-order in today, but were going to select the $549 off-contract version instead of the $249 on-contract version, we’re sad to tell you that it’s the exact same device in both scenarios. Not that we’re shocked or anything, but Dell’s own Lionel Menchaca has confirmed the tragedy via Twitter (shot after the break), noting that the $549 version of the Dell Streak ” is not SIM unlocked.” In case that needed from now on clarity, he continued: ” That is SIM-locked to AT&T.” Fairly lousy news for those hoping to snag one and pa a couple of international rental SIMs in as they headed off on their late-summer escapades, nevertheless it still makes us wonder whatever happened to that T-Mobile-ized version that sauntered during the FCC back in April. Angela Lansbury, we’d like you. Desperately.
