I’m using the Dell Streak as a sort of mini-tablet, which is I think what Dell was going after. I haven’t enabled a voice or text plan on this thing so it’s strictly data. Shout-out to B at the local Rogers store for helping me set that up when the people at Rogers HQ said [...]
First of all, what’s a Froyo? It sounds like a hobbit. Knowing the Android team’s predilection for dessert foods, however, it’s probably some kind of ice cream.

Top link was on superuser.com and has some hopefully helpful links. I’ll post back with results when I’ve had a chance [...]
