A Dash is all you need
Friday, November 10, 2006
Is it a Motorola Q-killer? Maybe, at any rate T-Mobile's Dash phone made CNET's Top 10 Must-Haves list and it has something the Q doesn't...Wifi support. Goodbye Moto, hello voip.
Boasting an impressive set of mobile features, the Dash is a little bit old school and a little futurerama. Direct push delivers messages in real time to the Windows Mobile Platform, where you can synchronize Outlook, view multimedia content using Windows Media Player, open Microsoft Office documents, send text or picture messages, and IM using popular chat clients like MSN, ICQ, AOL, or Yahoo. The full QWERTY keyboard and rubberized exterior make it easy to use and hang on to. You'll actually be able to use the darn thing without fumbling it into unauthorized territory, like the dog's water bowl, for instance.
I'd personally like to thank the engineers for that one; it's hard to make voip internet phone calls when your equipment is, erm...soggy. Side note: you may, with a little luck, be able to disassemble and dry out a phone that "theoretically" went through the wash. Pop the carcass into that food dehydrator you never use any more for 6-10 hours on the lowest setting.
Oogle the features:
- Bluetooth 2.0 (faster + less power needed = happy dance)
- Direct push
- Full QWERTY keyboard
- Text & Picture messaging
- 1.3 megapixel camera
- Video capture and playback
- Windows Media Player
- GPRS/Edge capable
- WiFi enabled
- Plug in extra memory as needed
- Quad Band for worldwide connections
- Voice activated dialing
- myFaves compatible
- Isn't that enough already?
