Day of the Dash

October 11, 2006

Well, I’ve waited quite awhile to see a day like today. You couldn’t get away from it! Certainly, Cingular & Verizon have had days like this, but T-Mobile has always been treated like an also-ran when it comes to phones and service in the media.

But today was different - literally, everyone had coverage of the newly announced T-Mobile Dash Smartphone. And well they should - the Dash is everything the Moto Q was supposed to be. Affordable, usable, fast, compelling features, etc.

HTC, the company that makes the actual hardware, has a long history of building quality handsets running Windows Mobile Smartphone. The Dash is the latest variant of their capabilities.

So check out some of the following links for more information - pretty much everybody covered the news of the launch of the T-Mobile Dash today. One more thing to note - T-Mobile USA is the first division of T-Mobile International to get this phone. Usually one of the European arms in the UK or Germany gets the new phones first! Kind of interesting on that alone.
