Great for its age

7 Aug 2009 rmeyer7

9.3 out of 10

I've had my Dash for almost 2 years.  It's been a solid and reliable device.  Compared to newer smartphones, of course, it's a bit dated and slow.  Mostly that's because of the lack of 3G and limited RAM.  Those 2 factors are the only reasons I gave it less than a 10 for performance. 


But when my phone is a couple of years old and people who see it for the first time think it's fancy and sexy, I have to say HTC created a winner with this one.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this phone to someone upgrading from a standard phone to their first smartphone.  The only thing I'd suggest is to get one that's had the T-Mobile version of Windows Mobile replaced with a factory HTC version.  That gives the phone better performance and even more functionality.  It also allows you to enjoy WinMo 6.1 instead of 5.0 or 6.0.

Dash has worked out great

28 Dec 2008 Victor Andrucson

9.3 out of 10

I use the Dash with Exchange Server for my e-mail, contacts and schedule and it works flawlessly.  I synchronize with 802.11g and it just happens automatically when I arrive home or at the office.  I could use the GPRS network to do it but don't want to spend the extra money.  But it would work if I needed it.


Other than that, the children like watching DivX movies that have been recoded and just think that overall the phone is cool.  Like most phones, I would always like better battery life but the availability of USB power is pretty ubiquitous and so power has turned out to not be much of an issue in day-to-day use.


Overall, the phone is better than I expected and I would give it a 9.9 out of 10.


 





Great Exchange client. Very stable and reliable (have not had to reboot it once in over 2 months). Hands-free Bluetooth works flawlessly.
Have to pull it out of the case to answer it if not using hands-free Bluetooth.

An interesting toy, but little else

27 Dec 2008 FJ

3.7 out of 10

This really isn't suited for any serious business use, being mostly oriented towards someone thats wants to look cool while not really needing features like a reliable schedule or more than a single alarm setting.


 


The software (I'm using ver 6.1) will not sync the schedule reliably with a desktop, with dates and times coming out jumbled, the alarm allows only a single setting for people who need a maximum of only one reminder alarm although it does daily recurring alarms of that single setting, navigation is a total pain, the manual is sorely lacking, and it has trouble (compared to other phones I've used) with picking up a decent connection even in strong reception areas.





It looks like you're cool and know what you are dong when you play with it.
You really can't do anything but look cool playing with it, trying to use it for business leaves you needing to carry a laptop and regular cell phone with you to accomplish the tasks you would like to do with this gadget.
