T-Mobile - Dash Cell Phone Review Summary

Cell phones continue to offer more and more features every year while continuing to offer convenience. One phone that fits the bill is the T-Mobile Dash Cell Phone. This cell phone offers many reasons for reviewers to like it, including its compact size, smartphone capability, and other features. But there are some shortfalls with the T-Mobile Dash Cell Phone, as indicated by the range of quotes from “Easy to Use With Great Features” to “Tend to be Very Slow”. Critics point out the hyper- sensitive touch volume control and the compact, tiny keyboard as two potential problems. It all makes for a mostly positive experience among Cell Phones with most reviewers recommending the T-Mobile Dash Cell Phone but with a few reservations.

A great compact and full featured smartphone for business users

This is a fantastic Windows Mobile 6 based smartphone that let's you sync email, contacts, calendar etc. with your corporate Exchange server. Oh, yeah- You can also have a decent phone call on it. I did a lot of research on all the various Blackberry's and other options out there and this was the best looking, smallest, and full feature phone/PDA I could find. Other phones may have touch screens and pop out keyboards but this little unit gets the job done in a very practical package. You can also buy them unlocked on ebay (and probably other places) to use with ATT or other service providers… read full review »

I originally was in the market for a blackberry, but when I spotted the Dash and found out that it had wi-fi access I was sold! However it didn't take long for the excitement to die away. As soon as I started trying to navigate the phone's system I realized just how confusing and frustrating the phone's menu could be, and it doesn't help that the system sometimes jumps to a menu option you didn't even choose. The internet access can be very slow, which can cause you to time out. On the plus side, it does look and feel nice in your hand and if you have the patience to navigate the… read full review »

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 design. Why do I have such a thing for Windows Mobile? The advantages of such an OS are that software availability and programmers are much more common and there's almost an unlimited amount of software you can choose from - free and pay. I've already installed many apps on my phone and am so glad I made the switch.It takes some time getting… read full review »

The Dash is great if you want internet access on your phone with a screen that's larger than the average phone. Those that are dependet on their e-mails would probably prefer a Blackberry or a Sidekick. The Dash is good for me, as I can download music on it and also use it much as i would a flsh-deive to store files, etc. — My only complaints are these: — (1) The touch-pad control for volume is extremely sensitive - if your hads are at all sweaty or wet they will not respond. — (2) The phone also seems to be EXTREMELY sensitive to moisture.… read full review »

I admit it.... the touchpad volume control stunk. The volume would invariably go down to zero in the middle of a call, then not only could I not hear the person on the other end, I could NEVER get it to activate to raise the volume while in the call. I had to hang up and dial back. The touch strip volume control is a total design flaw. To remedy this, I just deactivated it. Simple. Now I LOVE my phone. I do everything with this... it's holding 5 of my email accounts, I surf the web and take pics and short videos, and texting is a breeze with the… read full review »

I brought the Tmobile dash when it first came out. Yes the dash was cute and small and fit for a female but it didn't live up to my expectations. My first dash was working good up until the second week where I woke up and my screen was black and I could not see anything. I put it on the charger the night before next to my bed and when I woke up it was black. I called Tmobile and they walked me through a few steps that did not work because my screen was black. Eventually Tmobile sent me a new phone. The second phone was better but it did freeze up a… read full review »

I love my T-Mobile Dash. I have had it for about a year and for the price I paid after researching the phone and purchasing it online, I couldn't beat it. The T-Mobile has a nice soft feel to it, the buttons feel natural in my hands. I loved surfing the internet on it, before I downgraded to T-Mobile Tzones, I just wish T-zones was a little more functional when searching for directory information. Sometimes it takes a few attempts before I get the info I need, but it is better than paying directory assisstance each time. I love my Camera and Recording option on my phone,… read full review »

I really like the T Mobile Dash. I love the fact I can be in sync with my work computer, keep track of all my e-mails and i can text friends and family easily. I also can get on three-way with my family and chat with them all at once! I love that!! This phone is very easy to use and the screen is great. Now, from time to time, you do have to shut this little gadget down, it acts just like my computer at work sometimes, slow and locks up. So to fix that little problem, simply turn your phone off. I try to remember to turn it off at least every two to three days. If your a busy person like me,… read full review »

I've been incredibly happy with this phone and the service I receive from T-Mobile. The keypad is easy to use, the phone is a good size for my hand, and the screen is unbelievably bright and easy to read. — I use this device as my primary home phone as well as a secondary source for reading e-mail and surfing the net. It's nearly always worked great for me. You do need to think of it as a computer and remember to "reboot" it periodically, but it's not presented me with any major challenges that a quick call to customer service wouldn't work out. — I had a Palm… read full review »

I've had this phone since it first came out and I still LOVE it! The only 2 things that I would complain about is the battery life and syncing. There is an extended life battery but I just haven't gotten around to getting it yet. Whenever I sync my phone to my computer, all of my downloaded content (ie: ringtones, games, etc.) along with my personal pictures and media files get deleted. I don't know what causes this but I don't sync my phone anymore because I don't want to lose my stuff. It hasn't always done that, for the first year it was fine. … read full review »

I love this phone. I've put it through an inordinate amount of damage--dropped it, wet it, you name it. My toddler has thrown it and the phone still works like it did the day I received it. It does not have touch screen, so I don't have to worry about the screen going out on me, and I don't have to worry about spare parts. It is very sturdy, very easy to use, and very versatile. I have hundreds of Mp3s, hundreds of photos, and I receive my aol mail on my phone every 15 minutes. It is a great phone for mothers who have little hands constantly getting into their things.… read full review »

The Tmobile Dash has too many problems

The Tmobile Dash has too many problems. I've had this phone for over a year and I've been so frustrated with it. — The phone constantly freezes resulting in me taking the battery out and restarting the phone. This happens at least once a week. If the phone doesn't freeze then something else goes wrong...such as the camera not working, and again, having to take the battery out. The volume touch strip works when it wants to. — If the phone did not freeze so often it would be a great little gadget.… read full review »

Works very well, smooth integration of all features, including the multiple wireless connections. I am on my second one as the first one suddenly lost sound quality. T-mobile replced it with no hassles. The upgraded volume control (Windows Mobile 6) is much better than the original. — The only problems are - I wish it was just a ittle faster and I can't figure out how to do individual ringtones, if that's possible. — Best, smartest smartphone I have ever owned. —… read full review »
