T-Mobile Dash Review
The T-Mobile Dash is a slim, sleek Windows Mobile Smartphone. Despite its svelte exterior, this device offers many of the features advanced users are looking for in a smartphone, like a Push Email, a built-in keyboard and Wi-Fi.
Look and Feel
The Dash uses the same general form-factor that several of its competitors do, but the Dash uses it better than most.
It rides very comfortably in a pocket, and sits easily in my hand. This isn’t surprising for a device as small as this one: 4.4 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches.
Plus, the Dash’s casing has a slightly rubberized feel, so it’s not slick and you feel confident that you’re not going to drop it.
For the most part, this smartphone has a minimalist look. True, it includes a full QWERTY keyboard and a set of function buttons, but these are all grouped on the front. There are no side buttons at all, and the synchronization port and headphone jack can hidden behind a plastic door.
In a way, though, I think the Dash is almost too minimalistic. I said it has no side buttons, but it does have a touch strip just to the left of the screen. This is the Dash’s volume control, and it just feels gimmicky. I also had to get used to its quirks, something I’ve never had to do with a simple pair of up/down buttons.
