T-Mobile Dash 3G Mobile Phone

The HTC manufactured T-Mobile Dash 3G has now finally made an appearance on the T-Mobile website. This T-Mobile Dash 3G Mobile Phone seems to be commanding a price tag of $169.99 with a 2 year contract although the suggest retail price is $349.99.

For putting your signature to that agreement you’ll get a Windows mobile 6.1 Standard Edition based T-Mobile Dash 3G with a full QWERTY keyboard, and a 2.4 inch QVGA display. Design-wise, the Dash 3G is relatively sober with a plain black and red color scheme. The left side of the handset has the volume rocker, which is usefully broader than on other models from the company. However unlike most HTC smartphones the charging/headset port is on the right-hand side of the handset, not the bottom. This makes no real difference when recharging, but does get in the way somewhat when using the supplied hands-free headset. T-Mobile also include a headset adapter in the box with the Dash 3G, so that you can use your own headphones; it’s a nice addition, but it does protrude significantly from the side of the smartphone making the whole thing unwieldy.Up front, there’s a 2.4-inch 65k color LCD display, running at QVGA 320 x 240 resolution. It’s a bright panel, certainly, but compared not only to other Windows Mobile devices but to rival platforms it looks small and light on pixels. Happily the trackball makes navigation relatively speedy, but we did find ourselves wishing for at least a 480 x 320 panel.

The T-Mobile Dash 3G Mobile Phone features Microsoft Exchange support, GPS, WiFi, 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, and available in red accents that makes the original Dash seem somewhat outdated.

Lets just keep our fingers crossed until the T-Mobile Dash 3G Mobile Phone is launched into the market, so that we cam make out the trth about this seeming to be dashing, T-Mobile Dash 3G Mobile Phone!
