Question [Q] Dell Streak BETA Unit USA T-mobile. What is the value?

I have one of the original BETA units of the Dell Streak that is compatible with T-mobile in the US. Because I have not been able to get the 3G to work consistently (and I lack the time and knowledge to figure out how to root the phone, etc. to try and get around the issue), I have decided to sell it.

I checked out eBay and Craigslist, but I can't find a single beta unit listed for sale.

Question: How much do you guys think this phone might be worth at this point? And can you recommend any good places to sell it online?

Thank you in advance.

in good shape I would say $600, maybe more to the right person, or start at 650. I think factory unlocked is ~$650. I always have great success with craigslist, just inlcude photos, hardware and software screenshots.

I honestly think you need to be around $400.

It's not got a warranty and is "used" regardless of condition.

I'd pay extra for new... thats why I say $400.

If the phone was fully warranted by Dell and you could verify that 3G on TMobile worked properly, you could ask a pretty penny for it...

If you can post a video for potential buyers to view showing that 3G is capable on T-Mo bandwidths then it should be worth quite a bit. New or not.
Just aslong as it is in like new condition.
There are many T-Mo users who would like a streak, but it is non-compatible with their 3G bands.
PCs are very much like Air Conditioners.
They both become utterly useless once you start to open up Windows.............

After awhile, Gnome 3 kinda grows on you... tho so does cancer... x_X

you have to jump through a bunch of hoops with the t-mobile technical support before they will unblock the imei or else you'd be stuck with the webconnect $40/month internet plan.

if you're willing, i have an at&t unlocked engineering streak i'd trade with you. i believe someone on modaco sold a tmobile streak for $500 more than a month back.
