2.1 Just arrived in UK!!!

Just sat through best part of a 90Mb update for a non-O2 Streak (so bought direct from Dell UK, on Vodafone) - restarted but still 1.6.....no idea what that was all about but talk about feeling disappointed! :emotion-39:

Oh dear.....having a major freak out here!!!! just done the update on my o2 Dell streak, it has rebooted and taken everything off my phone, there is not an app, a picture or a contact left!!!!!!!!!!!  now I don't think I did anything wrong just followed the prompts. There is a lovely new home screen, all very nice, and nothing else....beware folks.

Leave it alone for a while and it should come back to life. I then switched mine off and all was OK.

Apps can be downloaded again for free though...is that right (stil showing the Market)?  A pain, but better than nothing....losing pictures and contacts is not good at all...

...was tempted to reply with "Hang on....I've got someone elses contacts and pictures now!"....but that'd be cruel :emotion-14: 

Thanks, photos have come back...phew...nothing else as yet...nice new interface though :)

All good but market not working......aaarrrrgggghhhh. Can't download apps :-(

Now working perfectly as all apps were backed up to SD card before upgrade. Remember that all is removed and you have to start as if you have a brand new Streak e.g. Connect with your router code to WiFi as even although you see the WiFi sinal at the top of the screen you are not connected after the update as all has been reset. It can fool you as you think somethig is wrong. Then go thro the onerous task of reinstalling all your apps either from the SD card or from the Market.

It all works sucessfully if you are patient and careful.

I downloaded and installed 2.1 this afternoon as it arrived. While a few of my contacts restored right away, it looks like most of the contact info I've added since getting the phone hasn't been restored. Will it reappear?

Well,bought my Streak last week direct from Dell,got a Sim contract with Tesco mobile (O2 network),had my previous number moved to new phone this afternoon. All ok.

So on getting home tonight my Streak connected to my wi-fi and I got the surprise notice of a download- Authorized download-and now I have lost network??????

If I go into settings and status it now says network unknown

Also it still shows firmware version as 1.6

What has gone wrong.:emotion-18:

My Direct from Dell Streak also had the same update message went through the rotine and it left with me with exactly the same operating firmware as it had before it started - 1.6 !!! How useless was that?  I think if you turn off your Streak and re-boot the WiFi will work again. Lets see how long it takes Dell to issue another working update. Whist they are at it 2.2 Froyo would be a better idea....

Ahhhh, clocked it.

Turn wireless off...market works fine...go figure...

BTW, Angry Birds on a 5" screen...top!!

Everything works on the phone as before,just no network connection. So from what I can gather this is a O2 upgrade and that would account for me not now having a network connection,so whos problem is this O2 or Dells.  Surely O2 should not be able to send out updates if it is going to bugger up the connection-if/because you're not with O2 that is.

Yes. Turned on/off.Also removed sd card and sim card etc etc.  Can't wait for the O2 and Dell support phone lines to open tomorrow morning,I am definately not happy about this.This is something very wrong between Dell and O2 to let this happen,dare I say corrupt.
