Thank you for fixing my Streak. Your site did exactly what it suggested - I sent you my Streak with the screen broken on Tuesday and it arrived back in perfect working order on Friday.
When my Dell Streak's screen got a small crack recently, Dell told me it was impossible to repair and my only option was to buy a new Streak. For U.S. residents, they’ll sell a replacement for $250, but as a Canadian, even though I live near the border and have a U.S. post office box, you need to pay full price of $450 for a locked Streak.
After searching the Internet, I found a few places that sold screens for do-it-yourself repairs, but only found one business that would do the repair for me – Phil Marlow’s Dell Streak Repairs in the UK, which is mentioned in this forum.
I hesitated about sending my Streak all the way from Canada to the UK for repair, but the process was simple, and Phil's service was excellent. He did the repair within the three days promised, and when I got it back, my Streak looked and worked like new. Payment was easy through PayPal, and the overall cost including two-way shipping, was far less than replacing the Streak. Plus, I didn’t need to reinstall all my apps.
It's unfortunate that the Dell Streak's "Gorilla Glass" will crack so easily if it is dropped. Streak users can be reassured that Dell Streak Repairs offers a reliable and affordable alternative to replacing your Streak if this occurs.
If you're handy Just go on ebay and grab a dell streak replacement lcd. It's around $50 for a do it yourself job. No need to look outside or get a new one from dell to repair. That said I just sold my streak and got an LG Optimus. Not as fast but great data plan.

Dear Fellow Streak users.
Have ordered a new screen from Phil as any warranty for a broken screen is non existant from both Optus and Dell.
My streak is only four months old, protected by Otter impact case. Had it in the pocket of my work pants- side leg pocket.
I was just walking and sitting. Took the phone out of pocket and the screen was completely cracked- useless.
Phil do you know of a hard case that will prevent the streak from flexing, I use it mostly as a pda with the occasional phone call.
I need to carry it on me for my job.
Regards Vinny48

Why not just buy a warranty from squaretrade? Cheaper and easier and covers you for 2 years.
It's circa 100 us with a discount code.

How much would it cost to repair the dell streak screen if the screen hasn't shattered to pieces.
it just looks like ink got in the screen
