Take Amazing Pictures With The New Dash Smartphone

By Christopher L. Grant

When the T-Mobile Dash was released it was a very popular phone. It had its quirks but it still was successful. T-Mobile wanted to create a seamless transition into the smartphone race so they decided to upgrade the already existing Dash. T-Mobile just released the Dash 3G and despite one or two flaws it is still a great phone for anyone who needs an affordable smartphone.

The Dash 3G has a great look and feel. It is a more professional looking phone due to the soft finish along the backside of it. The phone appears unique among all other shiny metal finished phones. The phone is not too big and will fit neatly into ones pocket. One of the more notable drawbacks to the Dash 3G is the screens small size. The resolution is only 320x240; in the smartphone world that isnt much. You may see some stray pixels when viewing photos, videos, websites etc. One the plus side the trackball navigator is very easy to use and will make surfing the web really easy. It is a step up over the rudimentary d-pad found on a lot of phones out there. Also the full QWERTY keyboard is very comfortable to utilize. The keys arent cramped and small like on most smartphones. The Dash 3G features a very spacious keyboard which anyone with big hands and fingers which surely appreciate. The buttons are easy to read because they were printed using very vibrant colors and ink.

The Dash 3G is able to link up and use the amazing 3G service. On this phone users will be able to surf the web and download content at amazing speeds. The phone also features an application for linking up email and instant messaging services. This allows users to receive email and message alerts straight to his or her own phone. Also made readily available is the expansive GPS tracking system. A Dash 3G customer will be able to receive real time voice directions utilizing the TeleNav Navigation system.

The Dash 3G houses a 2 megapixel camera. When compared to the 1.3-megapixel camera found on the first Dash this new camera is a great improvement. The camera takes very nice looking photos, and offers up a nice variety of image capture options. The Dash 3G can also record video. The video quality is decent but can be quite grainy at times.

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.
