Are you guys 'over there' still on 1.6? The UK (O2) users got 2.1update-1 as the current OTA. We're waiting for 2.2 Froyo also. I'm just surprised that USA may not have had the same OTA that we did.
BTW - there have been performance and stability issues reported with 2.1update-1. I found that my Streak was a bit flaky in the screen department. But a thread on Modaco suggested a way to resolve this on rooted Streaks.
Basically, it seems that Dell have [in 2.1] disabled the GPU hardware acceleration and all that is needed to turn it back on is a setting in build.prop file in the /system directory. But you need to have rooted your device to be able to replace the file.
In build.prop just locate and change debug.sf.hw=0 to 1 and reboot. From then on my Streak has been slick, fast and smooth. No screen hiccups, lag, staggering or crashes. Just smooooooooooothness to rival anything else.
Full details of what I did are here --> http://www.talk3g.co.uk/showthread.p...0484#post40484
