Dell Streak hits Indonesia and Vietnam, Malaysian launch soon?

Surprise, surprise! The Dell Streak was recently launched in Vietnam and Indonesia making these two amongst the first countries in the region to market the device. The Streak retails for VND14,990,000 or about RM2,395.00 in Vietnam and INR6,250,000 or about RM2,178.

Price wise the Dell Streak looks to be comparable with the similarly spec-ed Android devices like the Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC Desire. In fact, if you take into account the screen-size of the Streak, it looks to be offering a better value and if you consider the possibility of a contract bundle with a local telco then, the Streak is set to be the cheapest tablet to hit Malaysia (barring the fact that the Streak runs an archaic Android 1.6).

Although speculating the price of the Dell Streak in Malaysia is interesting, what has got us very intrigued is the Malaysian launch date of the device.

If you recall earlier, we picked up a news report from Reuters that quoted Steve Felice the president of Dell’s small and medium business unit who said that the Dell Streak will be making it’s APAC debut only in 2011. On the other hand, Dell Malaysia replied to our Twitter question saying that the Dell could hit Malaysia as early as November — this comes two days after the Reuters report.

We’ve gotten in touch with Dell Malaysia right after that to verify when exactly will the Streak come to Malaysia and Dell PR tells us that the Reuters report is correct, meaning the Streak will only be on sale in Malaysia some time next year.

But with the Dell Streak now launched in Indonesia and Vietnam, it’s very possible that plans have changed at Dell and that we could see a Dell Streak launch in time for end-year holiday season. We have a feeling that the first targeted November launch could happen but Dell PR is tight-lipped about this so we’ll just have to keep a really close eye on the developments at Dell Malaysia to give you the latest update on the Streak, so keep it locked on!
