T-Mobile Dash Cell Phone Review - Intro
The T-Mobile Dash is the latest in a new generation of slim, thin smart phones, following the lead of the Motorola Q. Sporting a slim design and full QWERTY keyboard with a landscape screen, the Dash is definitely targeting the messaging market. With it’s slim good looks it will appeal to chatty teenagers that want to be able to tap out there SMS messages quickly or prosumers looking for an all in one device. And it may also appeal to business users that want easy integration with Microsoft’s Exchange server, although the messaging services are nowhere near as comprehensive as a Blackberry device. But the Dash shines on other ways.
The small form factor of devices like the Dash often has a price in battery life, like it did with the Q. However, the Dash had no such issues: it had excellent battery life in all of our tests, with the longest talk time of all the phones we have tested so far, despite the small form factor and small battery. There are limitations, though: the Windows Mobile OS lacks many of the features of its more fully featured Pocket PC cousin, and the audio quality was strictly average. But the Dash is a very portable, well designed device that handles the tasks it is built for with style and finesse.
We reviewed the T-Mobile Dash on T-Mobile’s network. It is not currently available from any other major carrier in the U.S., but you can purchase an unlocked version called the HTC S620 from some online retailers, which would work with GSM networks.
