T-Mobile Dash debuts

Well, we can finally talk about the Dash. Not that we weren't talking about it before, but you know what we mean. T-Mobile's debuting the device today; you already know what the hell it is, so let's cut to the chase on specs:

• 2.4-inch transflective TFT display
• Quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE
• WiFi and Bluetooth
• 128MB flash, 64MB SDRAM, microSD slot
• 1.3 megapixel camera
• myFaves support
• 960mAh battery (vs 1130mAh on the Moto Q)
• 4.4 x 2.5 x 0.5-inch body (vs 4.57 x 2.5 x 0.47-inches on Q)
• 4.2 ounces (vs 4.06 ounces on Q)

IIt's selling for $350 without contract, $250 with 1 year, and $199 with two years (and rebates, etc.), and will be available the 25th of this month. Want more on this sucka? Then peep our review!

P.S. -Sorry guys, we like to run our phone reviews on Mobile (hey, that's what it's for!) but since it doesn't have the huge-ass pics like Classic does, we had to throw the review over there this time.

Does anyone know how to get the dash to play videos from a site (other than you tube)..

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 11th 2006 7:38AM]

Does this mean it is available right now?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 11th 2006 11:35AM]

No touch screen? No thanks...

Touch screens are for noobs

Just so you guys know, the Dash is now on T-Mobile's website at: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Detail.aspx?device=f164419f-eee9-4cf6-a1bd-070dbe4b5023

The release date is NOT October 16th, as you previously reported. It's October 25th. Which basically has me screwed.

I don't see why this would be, but maybe the 25th refers to the date it's available on the web site? The rep I talked to in the t-mo store on Monday said it'd be available the 16th.

I called up a few local T-Mobile stores in my area, some said they dont know, but the rest said Monday, the 16th.

in any event they have announced the phone saying it will come soon.. unlike that stupid phone company known as cingular.. discouraging customers... cingular needs to suck my mother mother pinky

T-Mobile... why T-Mobile. I honestly don't know one person that actually uses T-Mobile.

Can't wait till you can find these unlocked.

this is all well and fine, but will this thing work with Skype?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 12th 2006 10:41AM]

Anybody know when the HTC S620 (or P3300) are due out?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 12th 2006 10:47PM]

What about music? Will it play AAC+ files? I know Windows Media Player does not play AAC+ without a plug-in. But can you add the plug-in to the Media Player in this?

It got pushed back due to an error on the box stating it had a 1.3MP camera with flash- It has no flash, so we had to send em back!

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 18th 2006 12:54PM]

This is great but will the Dash work with Skype?

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 24th 2006 10:02PM]

My sister pooped in her pants again.....

[(Unverified) Posted Oct 25th 2006 12:34PM]

For an average user like me who uses the phone a lot, text messages and likes to email (but has never used a smartphone)what would be a better choice - the new DASH OR THE PEARL?? Is the DASH that much better? (besides just the full keyboard??)

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 7th 2006 5:09PM]

Does anybody know. Will the phone run web pages with:
javascript
java (like web-based chat rooms)
flash (i.e games like www.tankmania.com)?

Also curious about that proprietary audio port that appears to be the same place you charge. Say you want to play mp3s while charging.. how do you do this?

Gotta say the phone looks really promising. I currently am under contract with a blackberry 8700g r t-mobile. I'm very happy with the blackberry.. but the idea of having a voice recorder, pic/video camera and mp3 player would really step up features.

Regarding the camera, some cameras have a setting that where details are good enough to allow you to readtext and handwritting off a sheet of paper or whiteboard

Thanks.
