Default Docking station - does exist one for Streak 7?

Hello and greetings from Poland.
I'm new owner of Streak 7 - birthday's gift. I saw on few sites, that in specification it has hdmi output. Strange, because I didn't see any.

If so, is there a possibility to buy docking station, like for Streak 5, that would have a possibility to connect my S7 to hdmi display?

Thank you for information.

Dock info. Dell is no longer selling Docks. I found out the hardway and got lucky. Ordered streak 7 on black friday and got it a week ago. Ordered dock same day and got it 3 days later. The dock that came (i didn't know until i got streak) is for the streak 5.. doesn't fit my streak 7. so i was about to return the item then the people at dell told me there is no docks available at all.

So i dissassembled the streak 5 dock and tried the main board on my streak 7 and it docked. charged and hdmi'd out just fine.

So if you can find a streak 5.. you can grind or use a pair of dikes to cut the ends off so you can fit the streak 7 in the tray and it will work just fine.

As for USB keyboard. I found out today from another site that i don't have handy that the Streak 7 supports USB Host mode. So if you can get a mini usb to female usb plug to plug into the dock you should be able to use standard usb keyboard with streak 7.

Good luck.

Will be posting my mods and pics soon.

Hi mobilemedic,

I own a Streak 7 and the (wrong) home dock for the streak 5, so it doesn't fit And I can't get the right home dock for the streak 7 anywhere here in germany.
I would highly appreciate if you could give me some advise how you modded it so I can use it with my 7, too. Thanks!
