Dell has officially announced that they will be launching their heavily anticipated 5 inch Streak in Europe via O2 on June 4th, followed by a US launch later this summer. Here is everything you should know before the device hits store shelves. It has been said that the device will launch with Android 1.6, however due to a quote on the Dell site referencing turn by turn directions it gives us the feeling that they may actually be launching with 2.1 or at least bringing an OTA update soon after release. Dell also mentions in the same post that they will be bringing Flash 10.1 and Android 2.2 to the device later this year as well, looks like we can mark that one down as an official confirmation. The Streak also wont be running just your standard Android, Dell has developed a custom UI for the device as well. It is also pointed out that the device uses Gorilla Glass for the screen, making it less likely to shatter if you were to accidentally drop the gorgeous 5 inch device. Dell also lets out a little bit about accessories for the device, including a car dock, battery replacements, and a home AV dock. Looks like we got quite a few more confirmations here then just a release date. Head on past the jump for a video and a full run down of specs courtesy of Dell.

Specs are nice and the thing looks sexy but... Its a huge phone.

Wait for the Android tablet. :3

Terrible name, but I'm glad iPad is having the anticipated result of getting more manufacturers to make tablet/touchscreen devices.

It's a good product, but as so many people say... too big for a phone, too small for a tablet.

[Kurokikaze]

After seeing the Evo 4G in person... I gotta say - anything over 4.3" for a phone is overkill.

Any rumors on expected price? Would be interested in seeing one in person...
