The Dash is the the perfect mobile office and mobile entertainment device. See it in detail. You can also watch a product demo (requires Flash). Design Under the hood, the Dash features 23 MB of built-in flash memory, a memory card slot for more memory, and a speedy 200 MHz OMAP 850 processor. Up front, the large 2.4-inch 320 x 240 QVGA touch-screen supports over 65,000 colors, while the rear of the device houses the 1.3-megapixel camera. The design of the Dash is clean and uncluttered, with most of the buttons easily accessible with one hand. Just to the right side of the display you'll find convenient up/down keys for volume adjustment and handy keys for browser control. There's also a handy HTC JOGGR control pad with variable speed, drag, and hold functions that makes document viewing a pleasure. Meanwhile, call answer and end buttons surround a five-way toggle that allows you to navigate and control the Windows Mobile interface. A full QWERTY keyboard resides underneath the large display. As mentioned earlier, a microSD memory expansion card slot is provided, and USB/Bluetooth connectivity is included for convenient data transfers. Calling and PDA Features The Dash's phone and PDA functions are designed to provide an integrated, seamless experience. The included Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone software with Direct Push technology gives you instant access to your e-mails, calendar, and contacts at anytime. That means wherever and whenever, you'll be connected. A single main screen summarizes all the important information you need to make it through the day. Here you'll get message notification, upcoming appointments, dialing functions, tasks, and more all in one spot. As a phone, the Dash features all the functionality folks expect from an advanced cell phone, including a hands-free speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode, and picture and ringer ID. Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile combines e-mail, calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes into a single application that seamlessly integrates with the Dash's phone functions. Meanwhile, headsets, car kits and other wireless peripherals can also be paired with the unit via Bluetooth. Staying productive on the road is made possible by the Microsoft Office Mobile suite, which includes Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and PowerPoint Mobile. Meanwhile, the File Explorer application makes it easy to browse the files on your Dash. Like all T-Mobile phones, the Dash supports voice-mail, caller ID, conference calling, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, built-in paging, and access to T-Mobile's 411 service. Messaging and Internet Using T-Mobile's EDGE-powered Internet service, you can surf the Web with the bundled Internet Explorer application, or use MSN, Yahoo!, or AOL messenger services to stay in contact via instant messaging. Plus, the inclusion of Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) in the Dash allows you to surf the Web or check your e-mail at blazing speeds when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network. With the purchase of T-Mobile Hotspot data service, you can get online at thousands of locations coast-to-coast. Lastly, robust SMS and MMS functionality is built into the Windows Mobile interface, too. One of the most important tools bundled with the Dash is Microsoft ActiveSync, which allows you to quickly synchronize your device's tasks, calendars, e-mail, and contacts with your desktop. You also get Exchange ActiveSync, an application that lets you synchronize data with an Exchange server. Syncing can be done via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth. Imaging and Entertainment Another great feature of the Dash is that it supports Windows Media playback right out of the box. With Windows Media Player, you can play streaming and downloaded video and audio content in a variety of formats. You can also keep favorite tunes loaded on a memory card and listen to your music wherever you roam. As mentioned, the Dash can take 1.3-megapixel pictures, and while the camera is great for taking stills, it can also function as a camcorder, allowing you to capture video to the unit's memory. An integrated media application organizes your captured photos and videos. For gamers, the phone supports Java-based and Windows Mobile games. The Dash also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

    • really bad phone

      by Mr. Xianghong Wu - 2010-08-18  Rated 1 stars
      It is a really bad phone. The first year it is ok but always auto-dial even if I lock it. The battery can be used only 12 hr and have to be charged everyday after I use half year. The second year this phone always auto-close when I talk with somebody else by phone. Currently, it is completely down. My god it is not a phone but a black sheep. Never use it if you have important thing to talk.

    • Don't waste your money!

      by Michael Stubbs (Kansas) - 2010-01-30  Rated 1 stars
      This is the buggiest phone I have ever owned. The outer design is great and attractive but it freezes constantly. It is less than a year old yet I have to hit it on something hard to get it to reboot after powering up again or it'll get caught in an endless cycle of rebooting. Don't even use the alarm clock on it! It will not erase past alarms and you will be getting 5 or 6 alarms per day going off and it is not worth losing your marriage over it. The volume is barely audible when you are speaking on the phone and the signal strength is poor. The volume button is a touch slide and will change volume constantly from the edge of your ear rubbing agaist it while you are talking. It locks up when opening programs regularly or freezes when dialing calls. The display light comes on randomly all night long lighting up your bedroom. The internet on it is slow even with strong wireless signals. It processes excruciatingly slowly when opening programs. The battery that came with it didn't even last a day and I had to replace it with one that lasted longer. The only thing it does well is sync with Outlook. It is the Cape Fear's Robert DeNiro of smart phones - it looks cool at first but turns out to be a nightmare.

    • Horrible. DONT buy this phone.

      by gunderzell (Southwest US) - 2009-04-19  Rated 1 stars
      I absolutely despise this phone. I thought it was great when I first got it, but now that I have had it for a while, I think it's the biggest piece of garbage I have EVER wasted my money on. the phone is SLOOOOOOW. the alarm goes off randomly throughout the day, it takes at least 7 minutes to completely load and function after it's been turned off, and now, my phone won't even turn all the way on. I have never had so many problems with this phone. I even talked to people at T Mobile and they admitted that this is a poor purchase. I am completely dissatisfied with this product. I'd rather have a land line than have this phone.

    • caveat emptor - if you like rebooting five times a day this is the phone for you!

      by B. Bennett (Brooklyn, USA) - 2009-04-17  Rated 1 stars
      The short version: This phone and system stink. I endure regular coverage deadspots in such remote out of the way places as midtown Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn, constant email connection error messages when all bars are showing, the single most counter-intuitive alarm clock in the history of technology (which can only be cleared by upgrading the operating system), home PC synching that simply doesn't work, a volume control that's only adjustable by accident while talking on the phone, a completely inaccurate and unreliable power indicator and battery charger, really poor sound quality and outgoing reception, a call contact menu that regularly appears empty despite a sim chip with a hundred contacts on it, and about a dozen other software bugs that can only be addressed by rebooting which can kinda cramp your style when it's required for every single thing you need to do with your phone. Customer service is pretty uniformly useless but then imagine if you had to deal with questions about all of the above 24/7. User manual is an experiment in minimalism so austere and contentless that it borders on the surreal. Pros: It's paid for. Cons: See above. The t-mobile Dash is such a constant source of petty tech hassle that it's likely taken a year off of my life in unrelieved stress. T-minus 7 months and counting until my contract is up and I bid this rotten phone, lousy network, and irresponsibly inept and greedy company goodbye. I'll gladly pay more per month for a phone that reliably performs half of the functions that the Dash is supposed to but doesn't.

    • Not a multi-tasking kind of phone

      by D (CO, USA) - 2009-03-09  Rated 2 stars
      I bought this phone because I had read good things about the hardware created by HTC. OK, I also bought this phone because it was free after rebate. The upsides to this phone: Synchronization with Push E-Mails EDGE Network compatibility Crystal-clear phone conversations Adequate Text/E-mail messaging Great for basic e-mail surfing The downsides to this phone: -Lack of internal memory (the software setup splits the internal 64MB RAM into two allocations, the user storage, and the actual amount the phone can use for program loading. This allocation is fixed, and cannot be changed) -Memory clogs occur after opening and closing programs throughout the day (Internet Explorer, Messaging, Windows Media Player, almost any of the programs that came pre-installed) -The phone requires a reboot every morning to clear its internal memory from clogs -On boot, the phone only has 16MB RAM to use for program loading -Sometimes the camera function won't load due to "low memory" even when all the programs are closed and ended -Internet Explorer will unexpectedly quit because the memory has become "full and unable to continue" even when there are no other programs running -The phone is not good at multi-tasking, it runs very sluggishly when playing Windows Media Player, text messaging, and checking the weather simultaneously -Upon turning on the phone (after it has been turned off), it may automatically reboot itself 3-4x before actually going to the user Today Screen. -If the phone freezes (due to unable to clear a memory clog), the only way to reset it is to remove the battery, which can be a hassle if it is in a tight-fit case All in all, I have found this phone to be a let down. The major issue is the RAM, or internal memory. I mean come on, it has 64MB, but only 16MB available for program usage? I am a tech geek, and this phone is way below my standards; I wouldn't recommend this to even a 13 year old. Windows Mobile (previously named "PocketPC") has been around since 2002, and I would think that these companies that make these phones would be more efficient in their hardware by now. Supposedly, the better phones that HTC makes are the HTC Touch and the HTC Touch Diamond, but T-Mobile doesn't sell these phones. Solution? If you want a good smartphone running Windows Mobile, invest in one that T-Mobile doesn't sell in their store, and also make sure it is running with at least 128MB internal memory (RAM) to help reduce freezes. Also, keep all personal data on a micro-SD card, this will help keep that internal memory free for the phone to use for program usage. I've read the reviews for the Samsung Omnia (GSM World Phone Unlocked) and its reviews have been beautiful. It may not be cost effective, but it seems to be that it will fit my needs better than this phone by far when it comes to reliability and stability.
