Agreed that hardware quality isn't directly related to launch ineptness. I've also been seeing hardware / firmware complaints from existing Streak users on a fan forum, though. There haven't been loads of them, and the hardware complaints (involving the attachment of Gorilla glass and such) might turn out to be minor. That type of thing, added to all else that Dell has blundered and to its lack of cell-phone track record, makes me want to hold off. If you do get one, I'd be very interested in hearing what you think.

For a tech bonehead like me, Dell ruining the Streak's launch is not promising, because I'd need them to continue supporting the device, more than techies who could go it alone.
