This isn't surprising considering T-Mobile's track record of shitty phones. Android is great but even the G1 is a rather lack luster device; especially for a "flagship" product.]]>Dec 23rd 2008 12:21AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/22/t-mobile-dash-may-not-be-getting-an-overhaul-may-not-be-in-stor/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/22/t-mobile-dash-may-not-be-getting-an-overhaul-may-not-be-in-stor/

No, the Dash isn't an *exciting* phone, but it is a solid performer popular with a lot of fans. Many businesses have standardized upon the Dash and from their good experiences with it continue to specify Dash to their employees. Just-folks appreciate the full keyboard, battery life, and PDA features. Some use it as a texter's phone with email & web added in, others use their Dash as a portable extension of their desktop-based address book & calendar.

The thin body, full keyboard, vertical orientation, candybar design are a good comparison on the Windows Mobile shelf to it's bulkier Blackberry Curve counterpart and helps sell both phones. Overall Shadow / Dash / Wing make a good range of Windows Mobile devices, if not exactly cutting (bleeding?) edge.

By the way, this'll be the second refresh for the Dash-a; it also saw a firmware update about six months ago. The first one fixed some memory-leak issues (MS's fault), this one is a revision point release and highly recommended.
