T-Mobile Dash 3G slips into availability on T-Mobile's website

Well, there wasn't exactly much mystery left around this one, but it looks like the HTC-made Dash 3G (or Maple, or S522, or Snap) has now finally rolled its way into availability on T-Mobile's website, just as expected. While its full suggested price is $349.99, T-Mobile will gladly let this one go for just $169.99 on a two-year contract, which'll of course get you a Windows Mobile 6.1-based device with a full QWERTY keyboard, and plenty of niceties like built-in WiFi, GPS, Exchange support, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, and some nifty red accents and refined touches that certainly make the original Dash look a bit dated in comparison.

It still boggles me that this nor the forthcoming Touch Pro2 don't have UMA. That's seriously the only thing stopping me from trying out WM.

I'd be happy with any UMA + 3G smartphone really, android, WM, anything at all.

Maybe someone can port the UMA support from the Shadow?

Its a hardware feature, it has to be on the chipset and apparently t-mo isnt on the bandwagon of having 3g+uma chipsets yet like our european counterparts. Edge + UMA is good to go, but honestly, very outdated.

pardon my ignorance, but tell me what exactly the benefit/big deal about UMA is? Do any phones/companies here in the US provide this currently?

it helps indoor service by utilizing broadband
