 Decent software, horrible hardware October 13, 2008

Pros - Keyboard is GREAT! Large screen and easy to navigate around. Ease of use all around.
Cons - You're lucky if you have it for more than 6 months at a time without the screen or something dieing on you.
Recommendation - Get a Blackberry, even if you insure the Dash, the hassle is purely not worth it.
I'm not one for taking the time to write reviews, but this cell phone is frustrating me. I first got a Dash in June '08. Around the end of August the screen first showed the famous Dash bleeding. I ended up taking it back to T-mobile for a replacement (considering I spent over $300 for the thing), and they (T-mobile) sent me a new one for free in the matter of a few days. Everything is great, right? Not quite, as a result, I ended up losing all of my contacts considering I couldn't read the screen or connect it via USB. Good thing my previous phone uploaded some of them online. Ok, so I get the new one, not another 2 months later the screen bleeds again. I was going to ride it out this time, but last night it just went black out of nowhere and I can't get anything out of it now. I'm officially done with this phone. I'd rather pay for a new Blackberry than get a free Dash
 Its Okay...But August 14, 2008

I bought this phone to replace my Blackberry 8700g, from what I read it would give me everything I need that my Blackberry didn't. A camera and games. Well...It does but I should have bought a blackberry that does the same thing. I am so unhappy with this phone that within two weeks of owning it I went out and bought a blackberry curve 8310. This phone is great if you don't put a lot of data on it. I had to buy a memory card so that I could stop getting the message that I was running out of space. But after 10 pictures it still tells me that. This phone is great if you don't plan on using it as a pda, or really using it but for fun. For me, I need a PDA and it just didn't work for me. The picture quality is beautiful and quite surprising that I can get a clear shot while the sun is going down. Other than that I would NOT recomend this phone to anyone. I will stick with my blackberry which seems to have it all.
Lots of Features, Little Wow July 26, 2008

I'm going to keep this as brief as I can. I am now on my 4th, yes FOURTH Dash from T-Mobile. While the phone carries a lot of very useful features and seemingly easy to use interfaces it is incredible poor on performance.
So far I have experiences freeing, random reseting, lock outs, full failure, inability to dial out and other random problems. I can't tell you if it's the phone or Windows Mobile 6, but regardless of which it is it makes the use of the phone frustrating and almost downright worthless.
Because of all the problems I'm switching over to the Blackberry Curve. Maybe I will have better luck as my friend is having better luck with his Blackberry Pearl (after having 4 Dash's himself). Even a T-Mobile store rep has told us of the numerous problems people have had with the Dash and it's sister phone the Wing.
 Good Phone, Fragile July 3, 2008
I owned this phone for about one year. For most of that year it was a great phone. I loved the ability to synch with my photos, calendar and contacts, the email functionality, being able to make and add my own mp3 ringtones, the media player for listening to music, using the internet to answer questions during arguments, get movie times, and getting directions. The phone was incredibly useful. It was a great PDA. The only complaint I had was that the included IM client was considered to be using "text messaging" and not your data plan (that was an expensive assumption the first month).
Then it started to act up. At first it was mainly a power issue. It would randomly turn off. Afterwards you had to remove the battery and then put it back in to restart. When this started happening it was nearly impossible to get onto the internet without it powering down like this. Finally, the event I had read about but hoped would never happen happened. I pulled it out of my pocket, just like any other day, and the LCD was white with a black blotch. It had cracked directly over the speaker. As far as I know I had not done anything different, although looking back there must have been some pressure placed on the screen pushing it into the speaker. The phone prior to this had been very resilient.
All in all I am not 100% certain whether I would recommend this phone or not. When it was working it was great. If I had done something boneheaded to ruin it I would fess up and still say that it was great but not to drop it or step on it or whatever might have caused the problem. However, not having anything which I can directly correlate to the phone's breaking I am a bit hesitant to recommend it. For functionality I would say absolutely, 100%, I recommend this. For longevity I would say, only buy this if you are planning on using it for a year or so. Hopefully it will last that long. Mine did, but just barely...
 Easy to lose May 23, 2008

Since Tmobile dash cover is clip on belt type, it is easy to fall off from the belt. When it falls off to ground, it doesn't make any noise. In fact, I just lost my phone this way.
