		<description>i hate the t-mobile dash with all of my heart.  it crashed daily since i got it a year ago, and is now permanently crashed.  i got lost in NY and was not able to see a map on google, mapquest, yahoo- anywhere.  so i got rid of the internet.  the battery life sucks, there is pretty much no internal memory, and when its not crashing, it just freezes for 10 minutes and gives the &quot;spinning ball of death&quot;.  this phone sucks- buy it if you don&#039;t like your hair as you will be pulling it out.  i am going to cough up the $200 to cancel my tmobile account to get an iphone so i can actually use the internet (no way am i getting the google phone as it is manufactured by the same idiots who made this trainwreck).</description>

		<description>Ive had my dash for 6+ months. and it still works great, ive upgraded it to wm 6 and it works wonderfully, if you close the apps regularly you dont have to worry about it freezing. Ive never had to hard reset my dash. I basically use mine as an mp3 phone, ive a 2 gb sd card with a few hundred songs. No need for an ipod :] i just hope they come out with a Dash 2</description>

		<description>Too bad people do not know to charge their battery The Dash battery has no issues what so ever and in fact just the concept of battery replacement on the iphone makes it bullshit to begin with. Just like their peice of shit IPOD! Now that is one peice of shit hardware. The Dash will last days upon use with or without going into average use times. 

Can we say theft issue? half the people I know either had third iphone stolen from them or they misplaced it because its not so fun having that heavy hunk of shit in your pocket not to mention weighing down your pants. 

SPEAKERPHONE. on the iphone I thought that noise was coming from the earpeice, lol. ever play music on the Dash? baby its louder then the speaker on an elevator ride. if any of these apple macintosh lovers take their head out of their ass they would understand compatibility versus proprietorship. fuck your itunes and your leopard based o.s. all with your phones and mp3 players. the junk ipod should be banned from sales in the u.s. if you ask me. 

must I even mention the durability issues iphone has. I face planted my Dash without some ugly case protector that does not do shit and it does not crack or stop working. in fact I dare you to drop your iphone on the ground and you hit a corner its all over iwith. the hard drive they place inside all their wonderful fingering devices are fucking garbage. so you can zoom into your browser window with your fingers, thats what computers are for.

i know a bunch of iphone owners and they are all pussies. Where do you put that thing when your not using it? I asked and they told me up their ass. I can slide my Dash into my small jean pocket and its not even there. the only sizable positive is if you carry it in your front pocket maybe it will stop a bullet. 

do they even have infrared capabilities? 

you can not use your iphone for any data transfer let alone access an iphone address. where i can use my tmobile data as a network connection on my laptop with out paying extra and check my emails using the towers. Im not even going to talk about ATTENTION network and your dropped calls across the us. you folks love your apple brand so much its no wonder why you guys are all FRUITS.

BY THE WAY I typed this on my dash driving across WASHINGTON interstate 90 doing / 65mph. 

TMOBILE RULES THE WIRELESS INDUSTRY AND THEY WILL PREVAIL. IF ATTENTION DID NOT OWN LAND LINES THEY WOULD NOT EXIST. 

TMOBILE RUNS SOLELY OFF THEIR WIRELESS MARKET AND THEY&#039;RE PRODUCTS ARE NOT STEMMED FROM LOCKING IN CONTRACTS THROUGH HARDWARE PROVIDERS. YOU KNOW YOU WERE RIPPED OFF THE MINUTE THE FIRST ISSUE CAME UP WITH YOUR IPHONE, IPOD WHATEVER. 

LOL THEY MADE OFFICE FOR MACINTOSH BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO PROGRAMMING SKILLS

MICROSOFT FOREVER BITCHES!!!</description>

		<description>I think BOTH phones suck. I hate apple and their business tactics with such a passion that I refuse to walk into their stores. But I admit that I did get an I phone (from the at&amp;t store) so I can actually tell the world the pros and cons about it. 

First off, the file system on apple products and how music / video and photos are stored and how they force itunes down your throat to manage it all is a laughing joke! To have a program rename your files randomly, then create a database of what the renamed files actually are is one more point of failure and it does fail all of the time. 

Randomly, the iphone crashes and refuses to synch with itunes at least once a week for me which requires restoring the phone to factory defaults and you have to relaod your photos, songs, videos, applications.... What a pain! I don&#039;t know what is worse, the actual ipod/iphone products, or the itunes software that you are forced to use. 

There are some things about the iphone that are pretty slick though like the touch screen... but unfortunately for me, the cons outweigh the pros with leaps and bounds. It has weak wifi signal/range, it&#039;s hard to peck at the keys on the screen without spelling words wrong, battery life absolutely unacceptable (maybe 1 day); with all of the features that they threw into this phone, it should have been designed to run off of depleted uranium pellets that never need recharging ever! I can fully charge this phone, unplug it at night and let it sit on stand by, and by morning 20% of the battery is gone FROM DOING NOTHING!!! And my iphone is only 2 weeks old.

I have yet to find a phone that is worthy of being called a true smart phone.

Here&#039;s my idea of a good phone:

The apple i-phone has a great touch feature. Keep that in the phone.

The black berry and similar phones have a great file structure and the ability to add more memory. Keep that too.

Phones like the LG F9200 have a slide out keyboard that makes typing really easy. Keep that too.

Add a 4000 mAh battery to make the phone last at least 4 days, and you&#039;ve got yourself a true SMARTPHONE.

I know, my phone design would be about twice as thick as an iphone, but who cares! Look how thick a blackberry is! I&#039;d take a thicker iphone if the battery lasted longer.

Apple, if you want a good phone, hire me ( bulkbox@baileycharter.org ) and I&#039;ll design one for you that will put all other cell phone manufactures out of business. All I ask is a free phone for the rest of my life with free unlimited everything.... lol</description>

		<description>I just got an iphone unlocked for t-mobile coming from a Dash and I have to disagree with some of the list. I mean it has valid points too such as the keyboard but I had a lot of problems with the Dash. Battery completely died quick so I had 2 get a new one and now that one is starting to go quick, it kept having system restarts on it&#039;s own til i eventaully had to hard reset the whole unit. and the first point bout text messaging.. it&#039;s nice but Dash charges you for a text message and it isn&#039;t real time when iphone&#039;s AIM goes thru the internet. Their both good phones but iphone got it far as web browsing (hands down, who can disagree? lol), social networking, games, and speed. I loved the Dash&#039;s e-mail though, but iphone is on the same level with that. I might be selling my Dash today getting ready for t-mobile g1 though.</description>

		<description>I love my Dash! You do need to close programs, or it will freeze up. You can just shut it off and back on once in a while to accomplish that. I like the speaker on my Dash a lot. Not wild about the headset that comes with it, but that&#039;s easily replaced. And T-Mobile&#039;s customer service people are so helpful if you can&#039;t figure out how to do something you want to do.</description>
