Everybody loves the option of choosing their own carrier. And the Dell Streak is now available for purchase factory unlocked. The half-tablet-computer-half-phone Dell Streak packs a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 5-inch display capable of taking quite a beating, along with a number of other goodies.

The phone is currently only available in the UK but will be available in the U.S. next month for the reasonable price of $500. [via Engadget]
