Summary: Avoid at all costs
Comment: I have been very disappointed with this phone since I originally purchased it two years ago while renewing my contract for another two years. My contract ended in November and I have been nothing but disgusted with this phone since I have owned it from 2006.
Firstly, the volume control is so sensitive that holding the phone against my ear the volume would constantly go up or down just while talking. Essentially, you can't hold your phone to your ear and move your head.
Second problem was with reception. The speaker is a thin, vertical, skinny little aperture that you have to have very close to your ear to hear and its prone to collect alot of dust. The position of the phone also determined if people could hear me and I have an annoyingly loud voice at times and people on the other end of the phone still couldn't hear me clearly.
Next, the phone won't hold a consistent charge on the battery. I get about a day with very little talk time and mostly standby out of a full charge and that's with a new battery. This has happened on both of my Dash's. Yes! I had to replace my original phone when the screen inexplicably started freaking out and I couldn't see what was on the phone.
Also, the phone sometimes cuts out when I hold it up to my ear to talk. Other times, the phone gets several minutes into a conversation and then inexplicably hangs up and sometimes just powers off on its own. Again, this happened with both the old device and the new one and with two different batteries.
Finally, the phone will disconnect itself randomly from the Bluetooth in my car switching to the regular speaker instead and then reconnect but not reconnect the call causing the radio to come back on instead of the call which is still connected but now connected to the handset. That's especially annoying.
Honestly, I have owned several different phones, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson are among the most trouble free ones that I have owned. I will never buy another T-Mobile based product. I'd just as soon buy an unlocked phone that is rated well or stick with one of the models T-Mobile carries which they don't have many issues with and that list is extremely small. Just ask someone with a crappy G1.
I have read the ratings on most of the phones that T-Mobile carries and the only really reliable ones appear to be from the makers I mentioned above or from Blackberry. I will say that the Sidekick is pretty reliable so that's why they get at least two stars even though the Dash deserves maybe one star. If you choose to buy this, good luck, I hope your experience is better. If you already own the phone you have my sympathy and/or pity.

Summary: BAD PHONE
Comment: When I bought this phone I paid over $200 for it. My first one had so many problems with freezing, shutting off on its own, and the battery life was horrible. I turned it in to get a new one only to have the same problems. The alarm goes off even if you turn it off, and if you change the time for it to go off it will go off at your previous time AND your new one, making for a rude wake up call on the weekend mornings. No ring tone choices, the keys are so small it is easy to mispell words counfusing the people you send messages to. Also, the phone will take FOREVER to load up when you turn it on, you will absolutly dread having to turn it off. Also, the phone sends your messges to the wrong person often, this causes many relationship problems! It is very frustrating to call people from your contact list because you have to be in a certain screen to actually make the call. Bottom line DON'T BUY THIS PHONE!!! Get one that actually works!

Summary: Beware of this phone and the company HTC
Comment: Beware of the DASH. It is a nice looking phone but it is as fragile as a feather is. I dropped my phone once from the bed to the carpet and the screen cracked. What's worse is the company knows that this is an issue but wont replace nor recall the phone. Lastly, the rebate for the phone is 130.00 and then you will receive a refurbished piece of fragile junk.

Summary: Jimmy cracked screen, and they don't care!
Comment: Had the Dash for a year and a half. Battery began to die after 6 months, standby time was dismal. Thought I was in a bottomless pit of phone pergatory until the dredded "cracked screen." OMG, I thought it only happened to others, not me. What was a guy to do? I reverted to my old stand-by, my old pal, the Motorola Razr. It never let me down. As for the Dash, she is buried at the bottom of my sock drawer. Bless the dead and if you buy the Dash, be prepared for a disfunctional relationshp that will come to a complete and utter end when you least expect it. You may try to reboot, but in the end all will fail. So stay clear of this device and read the reviews; find out what really works & make an informed purchase. At the present, I am in the market for a new phone relationship, one based on quality, speed, reliability, and commitment. Farewell, Dash, you were a problem from the start.

Summary: Not enamored by this thing, about to go back to Palm Treo
Comment: The idea of going back to a Treo probably sounds strange, but that's about where I am today.
I've survived this phone for 9 months now, and the only thing I like about it is that it allows me to link to Microsoft Exchange so I can get my e-mail and like to my contacts from my office. Maybe it's the operating system, Windows Mobile, as I've already abandoned a Samsung 730i a couple of years back. i think a PDA or even just a cell phone, should be intuitive in operation. This one isn't. To compound the problem, it self dials when you hit a button while it sits in your pocket or on the seat next to you when something touches it.
It's been reliable, although frozen up occasionally. When I went back to the Palm just to test it, I was amazed how easy its obsolete technology works.
The screen is too small to visualize many things, the t-mobile network too slow in a dense urban county to provide a positive experience on the web. Would be nice if the buttons were easy to select - many other phones beat it in that respect. The keys just aren't that easy to find and press, compared to others.
Otherwise, looks an feels good.
I'm looking for another solution.
