Dashing Faster: The T-Mobile Dash 3G Reviewed

Posted by Jon Westfall in "HTC-based Microsoft Smartphones" @ 08:00 AM

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...-Mobile-Dash-3G

Product Category: Windows Phone running Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard
Manufacturer: HTC / T-Mobile
Where to Buy: T-Mobile
Price: $349 (No Contract) / $199 (2 year Contract)
Requirements: Need to speak to others, desire to be connected to information.
Specifications: QUALCOMM 528 MHz, Quadband GSM, Dualband UMTS (Supports T-Mobile USA 3G), WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 2 MP Camera, GPS.

Pros:

  • 3G Data Connection (In T-Mobile 3G Markets);
  • GPS Capabilities;
  • Speedier than the original!

Cons:

  • Imprecise Trackball;
  • Button arrangement will confuse Dash devotees;
  • No real incentive to upgrade if you aren't in a 3G market or don't need GPS.

Summary: The original T-Mobile Dash was a great little device that only started to feel dated recently. With 3G rolling out farther, GPS being standard, and 1 MP being woefully bad for a camera phone, the Dash 3G sets out to update its older brother into 2009. But is it worth the price to upgrade?

HTC Snap Will be T-Mobile Dash 3G

"T-Mobile has finally confirmed what the FCC (and its own computers) already told us: the BlackBerry-Bold-inspired HTC Snap, a 3G, Windows Mobile 6.1 QWERTY+trackball followup to the original Dash, is arriving on T-Mobile as a successor to the original Dash."

No real surprise here eh? I have the original T-Mobile Dash and I must say this one looks like a winner. I'm not yet sure what I think about the orange key theme but overall a much improved design over the original. I would have preferred to see Windows Mobile 6.5 instead of 6.1, but hopefully T-Mobile will have planned for that when the time comes. I think this one will do well for T-Mobile. Kind of has the BB Bold and Samsung Jack look to it. So...is this your next phone?
