Get Your Hands On A New And Improved Dash
Jul 17th, 2009 Posted in technology | no comment »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.
The T-Mobile Dash 3G is a simply a great looking phone. It has a top notch design. One of its most notable design upgrades is the soft finish which is found on the back of the device. The soft back makes the phone look and feel more sophisticated. The size of the phone is very reasonable and the Dash 3G will fit easily into anyones pocket and will not feel cumbersome. Two major flaws are the screens size and lackluster display. The screen is rather small and viewing websites, long messages, and even photos might require you to scroll down just to view it in its entirety. The Dash 3G has a resolution of only 320×240. Other smartphones such as Curve 8900 features a 480×320 resolution. The lower resolution is apparent when comparing the look of photos and texts to other phones. You can sometimes see the noticeable pixels. Thankfully the phone features a very easy to use trackball navigator. The trackball navigator works better than the out of date d-pad found on the Sprint Snap smartphone. Despite its compact design the Dash features a very nice full QWERTY keyboard. The keys are spaced far apart, are raised, and have a slight curve to them. The lettering and numbering of the keys is also a great addition. They are easy to read and decipher.
The phone obviously offers 3G service. This is a great addition because there hasnt been a suitable 3G phone available from Sprint. Websites, videos, songs, etc will load with great speed. This phone is a great upgrade from either the Sidekick LX 2009 or the G1. The Dash 3G also allows users to link up their email and instant messaging accounts, allowing them to instant receive email and message alerts. Another addition to the Dash is the expansive GPS services. Using TeleNav Navigation you are able to receive real time voice guided directions to your 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.
