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 emails, 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 handsfree speakerphone, polyphonic ringtones, a vibrate mode, and picture and ringer ID. Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile combines email, 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 voicemail, caller ID, conference calling, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, built-in paging, and access to T-Mobile's 411 service. This phone is fully compatible with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves. 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 email 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, email, 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. Vital Statistics
The T-Mobile Dash weighs 4.23 ounces and measures 4.39 x 2.46 x 0.51 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 216 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

 Beware of this phone and the company HTC December 4, 2008
Billy Royal (Indianapolis, IN)
Beware of the DASH. It is a nice looking phone but it is as fragile as a feather is. I dropped my phone once from the bed to the carpet and the screen cracked. What's worse is the company knows that this is an issue but wont replace nor recall the phone. Lastly, the rebate for the phone is 130.00 and then you will receive a refurbished piece of fragile junk.
Jimmy cracked screen, and they don't care! November 27, 2008
V. Lopez (NYC, Da Bronx)
Had the Dash for a year and a half. Battery began to die after 6 months, standby time was dismal. Thought I was in a bottomless pit of phone pergatory until the dredded "cracked screen." OMG, I thought it only happened to others, not me. What was a guy to do? I reverted to my old stand-by, my old pal, the Motorola Razr. It never let me down. As for the Dash, she is buried at the bottom of my sock drawer. Bless the dead and if you buy the Dash, be prepared for a disfunctional relationshp that will come to a complete and utter end when you least expect it. You may try to reboot, but in the end all will fail. So stay clear of this device and read the reviews; find out what really works & make an informed purchase. At the present, I am in the market for a new phone relationship, one based on quality, speed, reliability, and commitment. Farewell, Dash, you were a problem from the start.
 Not enamored by this thing, about to go back to Palm Treo November 9, 2008
pmsandiego (San Diego, CA, USA)
The idea of going back to a Treo probably sounds strange, but that's about where I am today.
I've survived this phone for 9 months now, and the only thing I like about it is that it allows me to link to Microsoft Exchange so I can get my e-mail and like to my contacts from my office. Maybe it's the operating system, Windows Mobile, as I've already abandoned a Samsung 730i a couple of years back. i think a PDA or even just a cell phone, should be intuitive in operation. This one isn't. To compound the problem, it self dials when you hit a button while it sits in your pocket or on the seat next to you when something touches it.
It's been reliable, although frozen up occasionally. When I went back to the Palm just to test it, I was amazed how easy its obsolete technology works.
The screen is too small to visualize many things, the t-mobile network too slow in a dense urban county to provide a positive experience on the web. Would be nice if the buttons were easy to select - many other phones beat it in that respect. The keys just aren't that easy to find and press, compared to others.
Otherwise, looks an feels good.
I'm looking for another solution.
Decent software, horrible hardware October 13, 2008

Pros - Keyboard is GREAT! Large screen and easy to navigate around. Ease of use all around.
Cons - You're lucky if you have it for more than 6 months at a time without the screen or something dieing on you.
Recommendation - Get a Blackberry, even if you insure the Dash, the hassle is purely not worth it.
I'm not one for taking the time to write reviews, but this cell phone is frustrating me. I first got a Dash in June '08. Around the end of August the screen first showed the famous Dash bleeding. I ended up taking it back to T-mobile for a replacement (considering I spent over $300 for the thing), and they (T-mobile) sent me a new one for free in the matter of a few days. Everything is great, right? Not quite, as a result, I ended up losing all of my contacts considering I couldn't read the screen or connect it via USB. Good thing my previous phone uploaded some of them online. Ok, so I get the new one, not another 2 months later the screen bleeds again. I was going to ride it out this time, but last night it just went black out of nowhere and I can't get anything out of it now. I'm officially done with this phone. I'd rather pay for a new Blackberry than get a free Dash
 Its Okay...But August 14, 2008

I bought this phone to replace my Blackberry 8700g, from what I read it would give me everything I need that my Blackberry didn't. A camera and games. Well...It does but I should have bought a blackberry that does the same thing. I am so unhappy with this phone that within two weeks of owning it I went out and bought a blackberry curve 8310. This phone is great if you don't put a lot of data on it. I had to buy a memory card so that I could stop getting the message that I was running out of space. But after 10 pictures it still tells me that. This phone is great if you don't plan on using it as a pda, or really using it but for fun. For me, I need a PDA and it just didn't work for me. The picture quality is beautiful and quite surprising that I can get a clear shot while the sun is going down. Other than that I would NOT recomend this phone to anyone. I will stick with my blackberry which seems to have it all.
