Im actually a T-Mobile sales rep so I get to play with and own alot of different phones and the HTC Dash is now one of my favorites. I have the Behold and a Sidekick LX and this Dash, the dash is the one I use. For a PDA phone the size of the Dash couldnt be anymore perfect, and the fact that its Windows Mobile makes it very firmilliar to use. <br /><br />PROS: =-)<br />The size<br />Multiple emails on 1 device<br />Battery life when WIFI is off<br />Keyboard is very easy to get used to<br />Easy to put new programs onto<br />feels very durable<br />Internet is quite fast even on the edge network<br />Web looks exactly like it does on my PC, even has the advertisments. lol<br />Easy to make mp3's ringtones<br />LOUD speaker phone<br />Camera takes better pics then my 5mp Behold<br /><br />CONS: =-(<br />bettery life when WIFI is on<br />no 3.5 earphone/mic jack<br />No GPS =-(<br />Would like to see a rollerball instead of a D-Pad type of scroll<br />no camera flash<br />the rings/sounds it come with are bleh<br />Not as customisible as it could be (icons and such)<br />For a windows OS I would like to see more downloadable programs/software<br />Myfav's cant have custom ringtones<br />Volume control takes some getting used to<br />Froze on me twice. (to be expected from windows, lol)<br /><br /><br />although it appears I have more CONS then pro's alot of them are just me nitpicking. I enjoy this device and am very satisfied with it. Definatly worth the money</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33929#review33929 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33929#review33929 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 22:00:03 GMT <p><i>nytro submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this phone feels great and does all the stuff i want: wi-fi is fabulous<br /> <br />i use it for browsing,and reading books and of course e mails and texts and calls.<br /><br />does it all fantasticly!<br /><br />if it broke i would buy another one,i hate those touch screens !</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33845#review33845 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33845#review33845 Wed, 27 May 2009 23:51:13 GMT <p><i>hepresearch submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Although I enjoyed this phone immensely, it died an early death as its software progressively corrupted until it would no longer turn on completely, and a master reset did not fix the problem. I bought it from T-Mobile USA in 2007, and it lasted me about 16 months before the end came.<br /><br />Apps are plentiful for the phone, and the out-of-the-box features like the document and spreadsheet editing capabilities (for the Windows Mobile 6.0 version) are fabulous. The Windows Mobile OS comes with a price, though; the phone crashes when too many applications are running, and sometimes when you are trying to do just one thing and somebody happens to call. The most annoying part was that the phone kept ringing till I pulled out the battery.<br /><br />PRO's<br />- Windows Mobile applications, such as Office Mobile, are great and handy on the go<br />- signal strength was decent (T-Mobile in Harrisburg, PA, area)<br />- call quality and sound were good<br />- WiFi is excellent!<br />- decent battery life if managed correctly<br />- web browsing works well<br /><br />CON's<br />- Windows Mobile crashes, sluggishness (201 MHz processor)<br />- corruption of software over time<br />- screen is a little weak and exposed<br /><br />Overall, I liked this phone a lot, but the life span of the software killed my respect for the Windows Mobile OS.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33617#review33617 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33617#review33617 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:26:05 GMT <p><i>aendeberya submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have had a lot of phones in my life and this one by far is the worst. I've always thought of HTC phones as a top notch, which dont get me wrong they are great. Except this phone. It takes about 10 minutes for it to turn on, it has a mind of its own, it does things I do not request it to do. It freezes up more then an old PC does. At first I thought it might just be me. My boyfriend also ownes this phone and he has the sam eproblems with it. It is just impossible to you. DO NOT GET THIS PHONE, YOU WILL REGRET IT. It is true though, some people love it and some people hate it, I guess you know what category I fall under ;)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33101#review33101 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33101#review33101 Sat, 21 Feb 2009 23:01:40 GMT <p><i>raul.diane2009 submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I LOOOOVED THE PHONE FROM THE BEGINNING, ITS VERY USER FRIENDLY AND GIVES YOU THE WORLD IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.

The only problem I had at first was the volume would always turn down due to the jogger. Then I attempted to use the WI-FI on it to find out at the end of the month that even though wi-fi was on it was using my wireless carriers internet also. then problem after problem kept occurring, many that have already been mentioned on here. Then it quit vibrating, so I had to get send off and this is what made not want to have another HTC. They told me at first 6-8 weeks, then 8-12, 12-16. Finally my Carrier just gave me another one that had most of the same problems minus the vibrating issue. Now eight months later the screen has gone bad on this one. my wireless carrier offered to send it off, but i declined and opted to get the NOKIA E71. I would suggest this phone or a blackberry any day before this one.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33013#review33013 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=33013#review33013 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:07:50 GMT <p><i>dietcoke12 submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for over a year now, and it was just a downhill battle the whole way. It finally died today, and I'm reluctant to indicate whether or not it likely made it to cellphone heaven.<br /><br />From day one, the phone was sluggish. I just decided to deal with it. But the problems didn't end there. The alarm will sometimes go off day after day after day, even if there is no alarm indicator on the home screen. Not to mention that the alarm setup in and of itself is absurd. The only options are Everyday and Weekdays. Really? And I can only set one alarm at a time! Not at all practical.<br /><br />But alas, it did not stop there either. It began shutting down at random intervals. Not even as a result of floating around in my bag or anything! I would have it sitting on the table next to me and all of a sudden it would just power off. And anyone who has this phone KNOWS it takes approximately ten years to power this thing up.<br /><br />Internet worked maybe 15% of the time.<br /><br />Occasionally would tell me I had a text message but there would be nothing in my inbox.<br /><br />Camera quality so-so.<br /><br />Cannot hold a charge at all, even on standby.<br /><br />Volume pad on the side of the screen a real hassle. Many many times had to stop a conversation to turn the volume back up.<br /><br />And then it finally happened. The speakers started going a bit wonky and high-pitched.<br /><br />I left it to charge, picked it up in the morning, it was VERY hot, and now will not even power on fully. Not to mention that my SIM card is most definitely damaged from the heat. <br /><br />Pretty convenient the death of this phone happened not even a month after the warranty was up.<br /><br />PROS:<br />1. Calendar is pretty cool.<br />2. Can hold a lot of text messages, provided you spend the extra money on a memory card or the phone just gets even MORE sluggish, which in my mind is just baffling.<br />3. It's dead now.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=32704#review32704 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=32704#review32704 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:52:16 GMT <p><i>Skylinedrift submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It was stolen from me a couple of months ago and in some ways I'm relieved.

The phone looks really cool and sleek, which was the main reason why I was drawn to it. But from day one, there was always one problem after another with it. It is too slow, low memory, and needs to be rebooted after freezing up every once in a while. When in the middle of texting someone, the phone will randomly switch itself to "vibrate" mode. When a text message comes in, you have the ability to click on a link called "message" to take you directly to the new text but half the time it doesn't work. Sometimes, the phone will not allow you to view the text at all. The camera works good, except it only works when there is enough free memory. The only thing you can rely on this phone is locking it and unlocking it without any problems. Good luck if you get the phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=31441#review31441 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=31441#review31441 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:26:28 GMT <p><i>Steve M submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Personally I think that this is one of the greatest phones anyone could get for t-mobile. Even with all the newer phones that have been released such as the blackberry curve, t-mobile wing, sidekick lx, or even the HTC G1 the dash definitely manages to stay in the competition with these phones. I see a lot of people on the internet talking about how the keyboard is to small for the fingers but i think the keyboard is awsome on the dash and i can type extremely quick on it (much quicker then i could on the sidekick or the lg voyager).</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=30753#review30753 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=30753#review30753 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:34:46 GMT <p><i>destined2lead submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I recently switched to T-Mobile (in search of a better price) and purchased this smartphone to accommodate my needs as a budding entrepreneur. Well... At first, it seemed like a great idea. The price was ideal ($150 out the door with a $50 mail-in-rebate), it was thin, the data plan was only $20/mo, full keyboard. Couldn't go wrong, right? Not so fast... Since I got this phone (top of June), I've had the handset replaced once, SIM card replaced once, and I've wiped the device 7 times. The interface is SLOW compared to the Blackberry and it's highly prone to lockups. One frequent issue (that resulted in the 7 device wipes) is that the phone will lock at a black screen. From there, you'll power cycle the phone (usually via battery removal since the power button is non-functional at this point), and the phone will go into a constant reboot loop. The only workaround seems to be wiping the device... not good. Additionally, I attempted to load Goodlink software to sync with my corporate email which slowed the phone down even further (try 30 seconds from the time you press a button to dial a number till the number appears onscreen). <br /><br />Before I purchased this P.O.S., a guy who owned it told me to go with the Blackberry instead. I didn't listen. Well... I'm listening now. After speaking to a supervisor at T-Mobile, they've agreed to allow me to "upgrade" to a blackberry. Hope this works because if not... I'm going to follow my first inclination to go with the iPhone on AT&amp;T.<br /><br />PS... if you have a Mac (which I do)... you'll find that Microsoft never intended on your "smart"phone touching a Mac. The data tethering function only works on PC and you will need a program called "Missing Sync" if you plan on syncing with your . Take my word...

I will admit, that initially I thought the phone was 'alright' but now I think its simply amazing. The tmobile version is slightly 'played down' than a true HTC version. Such as the touch volume slider. There is actually 4 buttons on the 'jogger bar' and it can be used for much more than just volume.<br />Straight stock, out of the box, the phone is decent, but play with it a bit, learn about it, tweak it, add some programs, and there simply isnt anything better. <br /><br />Don't know what i'm talking about...check out the "Dash faq" on howardforums.com, or shoot on over to xda-delevopers.com and check out the roms by kavana or rickywatts.<br /><br />I used the phone 'stock' with just updated programs and whatnot that i found from the dash f.a.q. on howardforums up until 2 weeks ago and thought it was great.<br /><br />If you have some tech skills, and want to totally customize your phone, check out those roms from kavana or rickywatts on xda-developers forum. The dash will run so much faster, have more available memory, its like someone just through a turbo into it. <br /><br />You can do literally EVERYTHING with this phone, so whatever negative things people say are just from not being educated about it, or just not liking how windows mobile itself runs.<br /><br />pros:<br />screen is great, play videos in perfect smooth quality<br />phone has wi-fi, and its fast<br />keyboard layout is great, i dont have huge fingers, i could see it may be an issue for some<br />size and shape, its small, but the slight rubbery texture gives you a good hold on it<br />its DURABLE! i've used it everyday for almost 2 years, i've dropped it, i've gotten it wet, it works PERFECTLY still. the rubber texture almost kind of fixes itself after it gets scuffed<br /><br />cons: (nit picking for these)<br />video recording is kinda laggy<br />if its insanely sunny the screen can get difficult to read<br />big screen gets 'cheek grease'<br />volume changes during call cuz your cheek rubs the volume slider<br />after 18 months battery died</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=29562#review29562 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=29562#review29562 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:38:59 GMT <p><i>talkative submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Great phone, I love having a real OS on the phone.

Survived several falls on to hard floor.<br /><br />But in-call volume control is pretty much unusable.<br /><br />Pros:<br /> - Solid contact, calendar, task management<br /> - Email management is a breeze via IMAP<br /> - Rugged phone, doesn't show scratches easily<br /> - WiFi is a interesting pastime<br /><br />Cons:<br /> - In-call volume control is unusable<br /> - Battery life isn't great</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1041 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=29112#review29112 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1041&r=29112#review29112 Tue, 27 May 2008 19:06:33 GMT <p><i>chazrjr submitted this review of the HTC Dash / S620 / S621 (Excalibur):</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I FIRST bought a Blackberry...kept it one day...keyboard too little, the phone TOO little...NOT user friendly at all...My partner got the Dash, I got the Blackberry...I am so glad that T-Mobile lets you exchange within 14 days...I took it back the day after...Primary reason was the call quality and clarity...The Dash had 3 bars of signal and the Blackberry NONE....and the dash has the same keyboard as a computer...As far as it freezing up or whatever, remember all you BOZO's its like a computer, when you are trying to run to many programs what do you expect?
