The New Dash: Upgrade Your Dash Today
Posted in GPS by Christopher L. Grant on July 17th, 2009 T-Mobile Dash was a very popular phone when it was released. It quickly became a favorite among users. With its nice design and great list of features it was a very versatile phone. But it was far from perfect. T-Mobile hoped to satisfy its customers with fixing some of the problems with the new T-Mobile Dash 3G.
Firstly the Dash 3G is a very good looking phone. It was expertly designed. One of the best improvements over the first Dash is the soft finish which covers the back of the phone. The soft finish makes the phone appear to be more sophisticated and professional than other smartphones. The Dash 3G is a nice size and isnt too big or too small. It will fit nicely into ones pocket. A major drawback of the phone is its small screen. With a resolution of only 320×240 the Dash 3G clearly is lacking in this department. When viewing large websites or messages you will need to scroll to read/view the entire thing. Also due to the low resolution you may see some unsightly pixels here and there in photos and videos. Thankfully everything else featured on this phone works amazingly well. The trackball navigator is great and works very well. Another plus is the spacious and comfortable full QWERTY keyboard. There is a good amount of space between each key and the buttons are individually raised and curved. The letters and numbers on each key are very easy to read because of the vibrant color and ink they were printed in.
The Dash 3G comes with a wide list of features. One such feature allows users to link up their phones to any email or instant messaging service. After syncing up customers are able to receive phone alerts anytime he or she receives an email or instant message. Most notably the phone utilizes the 3G network. This allows users to download content and surf the web at lightening fast speeds, anyone phone with 3G is always a plus. Another sought after feature is GPS. The Dash 3G offers users more than one application for GPS but only using TeleNav Navigation will he or she be able to receive real time voice directions to their destination.
The phone features a very impressive 2 megapixel camera. It is an obvious improvement over the 1.3-megapixel camera found on the previous Dash. There are many image capturing options and presets which help you take the best looking photo possible. The phone can also record video. The video quality is decent but as expected too much movement will result in grainy video.
The T-Mobile Dash 3G is a very good phone. It enhances and improves on everything the Dash did. Its a great phone for anyone who is looking for a versatile phone packed with amazing features. But be wary of the small screen.
