Guys,
I love the forum, hardly ever post unless I can answer a question but i am furious and in bad need of advice.
A while back I picked up a tmobile branded dell streak 7 off of someone just to play with. I put it down, got busy with work and didnt think about it for a while.
Now on with the nightmare. 3 days ago I decided to set it up and see what could be done with it and i swear to god no matter how many ways I reset it, format it, wipe it or curse it... I will not release the information of the previous owner. His gmail account is still there and when I try to remove it it tells me I cant because certain applications need it. I havent seen anything else quite like this out on the interwebz and i have been looking for at least the last three hours. As always, any help would be much appreciated.

You should be able to do the reset that clears the internal memory, that should work.
