mwg Dash Smartphone

Pros: Internet Sharing for your laptop is a great feature.
Cons: Navigation, functionality, and battery are all sub-par.

Three months ago, I happily dropped my H TC 8125 Smartphone into the drawer containing all my old discarded cell phones/PDAs (one day I'll get around to recycling them, I swear). I desperately wanted to get an iPhone. ...

Pros: Awesome small size. Great screen. Does lots of things pretty well. Fair camera.
Cons: Battery life. WinMob SP quirkiness & required registry tweaks. Periodic freezing.

Well, it happened. Our 2 year old Nokia cellphones finally deteriorated in their call quality to the point where we needed to have them replaced. So, off to the local T-Mob store we went. After handling the T-Mobile Dash, it really struck me as the ...

Pros: Voice Activated
Active Sync
Wi-Fi
Camera w/ Video
Microsoft Integration
Free Upgrade to WinMobile 6
Cons: Small Keypad
Does not sync with Outlook Express
320x240 too small for web browsing

Ok, I work in the mobile industry. I get to come across tons of phones and see what works and what doesn't. When it comes to getting a phone for myself, I used to just take anything, but now I'm a bit more picky. This is why I've come to the conclusion ...

Pros: Sexy, Great form factor, Reasonable Price, Feature-rich.
Cons: Battery Life, Stability, Volume Conrtol, Software Usability, Camera Quality, Keyboard Usability

Warning - this review is written from the perspective of someone who has used a Blackberry 7100 for corporate email access for the past 18 months on the T-Mobile network and had practically no issues with it. My company is shutting down our ...

Pros: WiFi connection, bluetooth connection, sync with Microsoft programs.
Cons: Volume control, battery life, open face design

The reason to buy this phone is Wi-Fi capability. That means that anywhere there is an unsecured internet connection being broadcast you can connect and browse the web, send out saved e-mail and retrieve new e-mail, all for the added cost of nothing. ...

Pros: Light, thin, fun functionality (audio, video)
Cons: Unacceptable as a PIM organizer unless you add apps. Minimal Outlook syncing.

UPDATE 1/17: 1) If you want a PIM with a camera I'd go with a Treo or other. After the cost of adding things like "cut and paste" which the Dash doesn't have and the ability to take notes, and a full featured Calendar, you're pretty much up there at ...

Pros: Great, can use home wifi, or T-Mobile Internet, Large fingers can still use it.
Cons: This isn't a POCKET PC. Can't create Microsoft office docs.

I am writing about this phone because I love it. I will tell you how I use it. I will not post the usually stats about the phone because you can find that anywhere and chances are if you are interested in it, you already know about the stats. But know ...

Pros: Faster, Small, Windows Mobile, EDGE Compatible
Cons: Windows Mobile, No Dial-Up Profile only PAN.

I preface this with the fact that for over 12 years, I have been a PalmOS guy, having tried the Windows Mobile platform a few times over the years I never got the "feel" for it, plus from the standpoint of Total Cost of Ownership, I already had thousands ...

Pros: Lightweight, Slick, Vibrant
Cons: Voice Touch Strip

Being an owner of the Sidekick 2 and 3, I decided it was time for a change. The Sidekick was limited in apps I could install due to a less common OS. What initially drew me to the T-Mobile Dash was a combination of a Windows Mobile Smartphone and the ...

Pros: Small size, bright screen, easy to use operating system, flawless synchronization.
Cons: E-mail can be difficult at times to send and receive.

This is an interesting device. It attempts to do many things and it does them quite well, but I am somewhat disappointed in it's e-mail handling capability. I do get my mail (most of time - but sometimes delayed), it's NOT as bulletproof as my old ...

Pros: Full keyboard with t9 optional, WiFi/stereo bluetooth & capable, microSD removable without powering off.
Cons: Short battery life, slow if too much is running, always vibrates when turned on.

I got my Dash shortly after it came out. I upgraded from another Windows Mobile smartphone (T-Mobile SDA< a>), so I was already familiar with the WM OS and had all my data in Outlook. I ...

Pros: Beautiful screen, small, light and quite useable
Cons: volume control, dialing interface, trade-off's using as a cell phone, proprietary earphone jack.

This is the first Smartphone that I've purchased. Having used both a cell phone and a separate Pocket PC, I had been holding out until several generations of Smart Phones had worked out the kinks. First, some positives. I like it's size, weight ...

Pros: Stylish, very slim, nice keyboard, decent call quality
Cons: No scrollwheel, no ability to edit documents

I recently bought the T-Mobile Dash and it's the first Smartphone I've ever used. I know some people with Blackberries and Treos, and they were all very content with what they had. Initially I wanted a Blackberry but found that I didn't really need one, ...

Pros: Durable phone with tons of functionality
Cons: Quirky and takes some getting used too, head set, alarm.

I got the Dash just after it came out a little over 2 years ago.  For the last 2 years I have loved this phone.  I kept useing it even after my 2 years was up and I was elegible for an upgrade because I just live the features.  It may take ...

Pros: free wifi, great call quality, slim and small for a smartphone, great keyboard.
Cons: windows mobile 5 limits it badly, but updates to 6 are available.

I bought a t-mobile Dash last week after looking around. I wanted a smart phone that could check email and do minimal web browsing (for emergency research on jobs) but I didn't want to pay a lot of money for the phone or the data service. The Dash is a ...
