More and more evidence is coming that suggests the Dell Streak 7 is going to be announced during CES and the most recent has arrived in the form of an FCC filing. And interestingly enough, the filing is showing the Streak 7 as having support for both T-Mobile and AT&T.
Anyway, while nothing is official in terms of an upcoming announcement, that should be happening soon enough as CES is set to kick off very soon — next week. And while we here at TFTS have covered this device in the past with some regularity, some may recognize it by the other codenames — the Looking Glass and the not quite as exiting M02M. Anyway, as for this most recent bit of information, this comes from the FCC and the filing confirms that the Streak 7 will have support for UMTS bands II, IV and V which means AT&T and/or T-Mobile. Of course, that differs slightly from the recent images which were showing T-Mobile branding.
Still, we cannot forget those images which came from the Streak 7 television commercial which showed the device with a Netflix app. And as we have already seen — Android does not have a Netflix app just yet. But back to the task at hand here, the FCC filing.
This listing also confirms that the Streak 7 will have Wi-Fi 802.11n as well as Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and a memory card and SIM card slot. The one downfall here is that it seems the back panel is not removable and that means a battery that is not user-changeable.
Otherwise, the device will be powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor and feature a 7 inch display along with what many believe will be Android 2.2 in terms of the operating system. The other unknown is whether the device will be able to make voice calls. Granted, the other popular 7 inch Android tablet (the Galaxy Tab) cannot make them (here in the US) and that would lead us to believe the Streak 7 will also be a no in terms of voice. That said, the Streak 5 can and that throws a monkey wrench into the whole assuming thing.
