Is there any way to check if my Streak is unlocked without using a non-AT&T SIM?

Because I don't have access to one. I'm considering selling it.

Thanks in advance.

To the best of my recollection, in order to use the unlock code that you got for the Streak you have to put a SIM from another carrier into the phone. Find a friend with T-Mobile and borrow his SIM for a minute to unlock your phone.

Dell will give you the unlock code no questions asked...just call.

You did not buy the phone new? If you did and you got it anywhere except Dell then it probably carrier locked.

I would call Dell and give the phone info, they can probably tell you if it was sold unlocked.

I've had 5 different dell streaks so this is from my experience... if you're on AT&T and get "H" data, then your phone is unlocked. If you only get "3G" then your phone is locked.

H and 3G is rom dependant and has nothing to do with the lock status per se

at&t roms have the H icon disabled so it only shows 3g.
All other roms show H when HSPA is available and 3g when only UMTS is available (which is rather rare now)
