DONATE TO ME
Default Cheap(er) USB Cable?

Anyone know if there's one for sale?
I've looked on various sites and the cheapest i found was £20, which i'm NOT paying for a USB cable
The cable that came with my phone broke VERY easily and now i'm left with a dead streak and no way to charge it!

The fact that Dell is charging £25 for a cable is just disgusting

Cheers guys.

Can't you just return it under warranty?

Isn't the warranty only 30 days?

Yea, I'm dying to get another usb cable or two so I don't have to carry mine around everywhere I go... I was hoping, since they're selling the streak at best buy, soon I'll be able to get one there...???

As the OP is in the UK (or at least quoted prices in Sterling), they would be covered under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 for at least 12 months (and possibly as long as 6 years, given the cost of the cable).

It doesn't help the data connectivity but, you could get a desktop battery charger from eBay, I've just seen one there for £3.99 I just searched eBay for "Dell Streak Battery" and it came up in the results.

HTH.

I've had to get a friend in the USA to get me a car cradle kit from DELL USA and send it to me in Australia. Just got of the phone to OPTUS and Chat with DELL AUST and neither intends on selling accessories for the Streak in Australia.

What a shame

I really am surprised that there isn't any 3rd party cables about. I have searched & only find dell's cables that cost a bomb

Default streak accessories now available from Dell

I just found this while searching the web for Dell Streak Accessories. This was not previously available.
