Well My Dell Streak Is Ruined...

Went out to eat, fell off the table and boom. The Glass shatters. AT&T won't insure Streaks because they aren't sold in their stores.

Anybody want to buy this off of me? Gorilla glass is all that needs to be replaced.

is it a phone or a computer?

Considered a tablet more than a phone because of its size but it has a phone in it. Basically it's a mini tablet with a phone in it...minus the fact that the gorilla glass or whatever kind of glass is in front of the screen broke, it's a great phone/tablet

Yeah it's definitely an awesome thing to be bored with. It'll probably collect some dust on my desk for a while incase I can find someone to fix the glass on the screen

Have you tried duct tape? It fixes most anything, if applied properly.

nah I understand it, I can take the phone apart if I need to. Problem is due a search for the glass which everyone assumes is gorilla glass and I can't seem to find a DIY for this screen yet. It's going to be a couple of months until one finally develops so until then this will either get sold as is or fixed when the time is right.

PS if anyone can find gorilla glass and can fix these there is a business for many unlucky people (google it)

Claim it isn't under their "Implied 1 year warranty" and at&T won't cover the phone...I'd go in there with the streak and probably, if I'm lucky leave the store with another andriod phone which isn't as big as this and $125 out of my pocket

btw they sell the replacement lcd screens but not the glass in front of it from what I've seen on ebay.

Go to your local AT&T store, tell local clerk you have a question about your product, pretend to hand him the device then let it fall and hit the ground. Blame him for broken screen. Get new device.

I work for AT&T, we don't carry the phone. Honestly, I'm happy, because that thing is a total p.o.s. lol. Remember the Taco Phone? Yeah.

PSH is not. Does everything and more...even with a broken screen. Have to put buying my 3rd woofer on hold to buy a new Streak though *sigh* at least this one will be unlocked with froyo I guess

It's much to large to be a phone. Should have just been a tablet, that's it.
