Pros:
Sleek, thin design is sturdy and easy to hold. Wi-Fi and EDGE make this a versatile smartphone. Messaging and e-mail are top of the line. |
 |
Cons:
Call quality should be much better. Productivity is lacking without ability to edit documents. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| A pleasure to hold and to use for typing and messaging, the T-Mobile Dash finds itself somewhere between the larger and slower Motorola Q and the smaller, more nimble Cingular 3125. With a few simple additions, especially a trackwheel for quicker navigation, the Dash could easily edge out Moto's slim smartphone. Messaging options (including push e-mail and instant messaing) are impressive, the well-implemented Wi-Fi support is a great addition, and multimedia options are strong thanks to the mobile version of Windows Media Player. That said, we were disappointed by the Dash's mediocre calling quality and inability to edit Office documents. |
