wireless frequency? I was wondering, because I could not find any information on this.
Does the Dell Streak 7 WiFi Only feature 5GHz

Bummer....well, does the Streak 7 have any other hardware capability like FM? or something.

Capable of lots of things, not necessarily implemented.

So, what you're saying is that the hardware is there but the software doesn't allow it?
If that's the case someone could release a file that allows you to unlock these features.

I dont believe that ours can physically support 5 GHz, though I would like to be proven wrong.
5 GHz support requires having 5GHz amps and antennas, enabling 5 GHz bands requires the hardware for it.
It wouldnt make sense for dell to buy BCM4329's that support 5 GHz and then go around and turn off support for it.
For a similar reason the S7 can only support 72mbit over 802.11n, it only has a 1x1 antenna and only operates on 2.4 GHz.
I can connect at 72mbit with my S7, but 144mbit with my laptop as it has a 2x2 antenna.
(my wireless AP has a 2x2 antenna, so it maxes out at 300mbit on 2x2 ant, 400ns GI, 40mhz channels)
It's similar to how the EU models have a huawei 820W and the US ones have a 820U,
they only seem to ultimately differ in the latter supporting 1700mhz and with the ants and amps for it.
Radios of this nature can often support more bands in their specs then they can transmit/recieve on via their antennas.
