A 2 GB non-user accessible microSD card can be seen near the top of the motherboard.


This card is used to house system & applications files only, and Dell doesn't want you to remove it.

I wonder if you can remove that card, mount it to a PC, copy the contents to a bigger card, then install the bigger card in its place?

On step 11 of the disassembly, where they talked about a RF transceiver; does that mean that this thing can send and receive FM radio signal? Basically, could you transmit Pandora radio to your car stereo with this thing?

"Step 15
Dell Streak Repairability: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)
Good: Replacing the battery is super easy and takes less than one minute.
Good: Opening the device requires prying the bezels and removing five screws.
Good: Cables use standard connectors, including our favorite, ZIF connectors.
Neutral: The rear panel feels cheap and deforms easily for a $600 device.
Bad: The LCD is bonded to the Gorilla Glass, increasing the cost of fixing the device if you break just the glass."
