All signs are pointing to a 3G-less Dell Streak. The device as recently certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance and then as if on cue, Amazon posts the pre-order product page. The retailer lists the new model for $379, which works out to be $70 less than the off-contract price of its older 3G counterpart and of course does not require any monthly cellular fees. But everything else is apparently the same. According to the Amazon page, the WiFi-only model still has 16GB of storage, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, front-facing 1.3MP camera, with Android 2.2 at the core. So really, the only question concerns the release date. When?
