thinking of selling

i know it sounds crazy but im thinking of selling my dash
i figured id post on here to see if anyone was interested.
body is in good shape, might have a minor ding somewhere. screen has a protector on it, one of the static ones. screen protector has a few minor scratches on it, but that can be removed lol. has rickys wm 6.1 rom on it, i think my sig has the version of the rom i got on there.
if your interested send me a pm. i can post pictures sometime if needed.
it is branded t mobile. i can have it unlocked if requested.
also i can put it on e bay if one of you guys really want it.

I'm actually looking forward to an upgrade as well...
Why? To get a better processor, more memory, built in GPS, touchscreen and WM6.1 Pro. See Samsung i780.
Sorry, don't mean to threadjack...

honestly i just started a new job and i have been working a lot. so far this month two out of four weeks have been 40+ hours. i havent had a lot of time to text a lot or to surf the web a lot, especially at work, they dont like for us to even have our cell phones. so i want something a little more basic, and itll cut a few dollars off my bill.

My HTC S620 will be replaced next week as the iPhone has officially arrived in The Netherlands. I loved my S620 but it's time to move on.

here are some pics. the two of the bottom of the phone shows the dings the phone has, not very noticable from normal distance. then one of the keypad, cause its so nice lol. and one of the screen protector, its earned the money i paid for it.

Yep same with me. I need an upgrade but the Dash is one of the better phone in my opinion that are out there but I guess ill be leaving this forum because I have put my Dash on Ebay and have got bids so farewell!

Totally agree and it's not got alot of software available, no where near as tweaky, yes it has a touch screen but so does the Kaiser, that would be my choice if i had a chance of an upgrade and as NRG states it's a bit bah.

Second THAT
"F" the iphone. It is already out of date. Our Excaliburs whoop its ass. I like the idea of the Kaiser, if you just gotta have a touch, but the touch seems like a big waste, when you already have a superior phone NOW.

if you want a wing then go for it, good trade. but a wing is more bulky than the dash, and harder to access the keypad cause it is hidden.
i thought about getting a wing, had a mda abd it got too bulky for me, so i got the dash and i have loved it since. now im gonna sell it and try to cut back on my bill

I still don't know how you are gonna cut $$$$ off your bill since your dash still can do everything any other cell can.
Saving $$$$ can be done through your plan and whatever extras you have through your provider.

I loved my Dash. I loved my Treo 650. Both are history know. No hard feelings. I saw the sinking ship named Palm and I see one sinking again. It's too little, too late. Microsoft arrogance or incompetence I don't know, maybe both.
I like this forum a lot. Thanks Kavana again for the great superior ROM.

I will ship it anywhere for $150. It's a Taiwan build HTC S620 + 2GB card. Screenprotector from day 1 but the 'silver' striping around the case is now black on several places. Plastic USB cover is missing since last month (perfect!). It will be off duty as soon as I can obtain the iPhone 3G. hope I can get one on Friday. The Netherlands has a 100% full speed 3G coverage .

what phone to go to after the dash

i really love the dash and was wondering if there are any phones coming out that'll be similar style but better? Especially if tmobile is rolling out with 3g soon.

so is everything else...get it in 6 months or a year...will drop like the touch cruise did

http://www.sonyericsson.com/x1/

I switched to iPhone 3G on July 11. Love it.

Hey all, Check these out! These are the soon to be released Motorola Phones! The first two are totally portable and I think double as clubs in case your getting attacked. The last one is the new Bag Phone that you can actually use as carry on luggage for when you travel. And yes, I would take these over the new iphone 3g anyday.

If you compare specs the X1 is better than what HTC is coming out with.. its rumored that HTC even made the phone for Sony.. so hope that could be a sign that Sony might drop Ericsson and pic up HTC if the phone does well..

I would also think that since the phone was just released in EU... i think.
With an American release late Q4 or early 09 Q1.. I would think by the time that i think the dash is no longer useful, spring 09ish id say.. the price would drop..
Of course i haven't seen it yet but im not sure if the touch pro will work with tmobiles 3g.
Then again thats just me

all in all...
Well all in all if T-Mobile is gonna release the HTC Touch Pro And It Will Have 3G internet service then thats the phone i will be getting... only phone TMO offers with 3G right now is the blackberry perl.... and not looking to go from the dash to the perl there is no way... so im just gonna wait.

i was hoping for something similar to dash design. I like the keyboard right there and not having to slide the phone to get to the keyboard.

New Excalibur in black ?!

I read this article on BGR today about a "color refresh" TMobile put out recently. Does anybody have one of the black Dash's ?!
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/12/22/t-mobile-dash-in-black-floating-around/

i've seen this story posted on engadget & pocketnow. interesting. i hope it's true & has 3g support ;-)

Well if you read the comments, people say it's JUST a color update and nothing more. It's still cool and I wouldn't mind owning one

Its just a color refresh. Nothing new except different color and slightly different color keyboard color. My local T-Mo has them, frankly they look like crap I was very disappointed.

Looks like my excalibur in a black silicone case

Seems to me the owners are going to be dealing with a lot more of this:
"Nice Blackberry!"
"Well actually..."
Freakin annoying.

I had one of those for a while now... nothing spectacular about it really...

LOL, same here it looks almost identical

I've had a chance to manhandle the fake demo phone we got at my T-mo store, and it's a pretty alright cosmetic change. I don't like my companies logo on my Dash, and have been contemplating scrubbing it off; but with the new Dash it doesn't work because of the rubber face, and that pink T REALLY sticks out on the black.
From what I've been told, and what we're expecting, it's going to be windows mobile 6.1. We should have the real phones unboxed soon (my manager won't let us TOUCH them until the original phones are gone ((one left!!)) so we can't see it).
SO if it is, we all should have an official windows mobile 6.1 rom from T-mobile soon, and hopefully it'll clean things up.
I would love for someone to debrand it after they dump it though. Just a thought.
Keep you guys posted!

That could be a great thing. Definitely need a dump

It looks like it is confirmed Windows Mobile 6.1:
http://thetechnicist.typepad.com/the_technicist/2008/12/tmobile-dash-black-hands-on.html
(as reported today by Engadget and The Technicist).
The biggest question now is if it comes with the sliding panel homepage. The screen shot printed on the fake phone, and these screens, still show the Windows Mobile Default Homescreen.
The other big thing I'm hoping you awesome modders can do is rip the UMA drivers out of the upcoming UMA Shadow II. If we can get an official Tmo 6.1 with hotspot calling I'd declare it a Happy New Year next month.
thetechnicist is claiming that the Dash is outdated, but we don't have 3g in my area yet, so the little bugger is still a piece of gold IMOP, especially over crackberrys as long as I get that UMA.

Hrm
So if this updated Dash has WinMo 6.1 would there be away to get a somewhat official rom to put on our original Dash(s)?

My fiance actually has one. It by default does not have the sliding panel home page. When she get's home I'll see if it's available on there at all. Looking at the frequencies on the box, 850, 900, 1800, 1900, I don't think it's 3G (1700 is what tmo is using?). From what I can tell it truely is unchanged hardware wise.
I didn't think it was 6.1 at all since it didn't have the instant messanger styled text messaging interface, or is that a different app baked into the 6.1 firmware I put on my Shadow? Anything else anyone wants me to look at? Any certainty if flashing it with any of the 6.1 firmwares will work?
Edit:
Phone is home, it is not 6.1.

What version of 6.0 is it running?

What will be the phone that makes you give up your Dash?

Title explains it all. For me it will probably be the G2 (on T-Mobile in the US I presume). I want some 3g goodness.

HTC just release photos of their 09 phone lineup, dates haven't been said or who's carrying which phone. I just hope for tmobile to pick up the dash2, it would be dumb of them not to ,considering there the ones that carry the dash.
check this for the link to the report. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3290798&postcount=12

Probably the Touch Pro 2. I think it's time I moved on from smartphones.

either the dash 2 or the curve 8900

gave it up for a touch pro....gave that up for a g1...
honestly, i would have given it up for a 1st gen nokia from 1990. the battery issue and what not just got old..i was sick of having a phone that would randomly work, or eat batteries etc...

lol i remember playing snake for hours on that beast!

I think I´ll never give up to my Exaclibur, it will be here!
But I would love to buy the upcoming HTC Rhodium or the Topuch pro II !!

if the dash2 comes to t-mo, with 3g. otherwise, the g2 if it's nice looking/easy exchange support

Given up for Tilt, still use the Dash as second phone but doesn't do much anymore..........

It would have to be the Dash 2, otherwise I don't really see any phones that catch my interest right now. I've been pretty happy with my dash.

Maple
Yeah - I still prefer the keypad over the full touchscreen, and the sliders are too bulky, so if the Maple is on TMo 3G and has a MUCH better camera than the Dash then I will get it. I mean really - is it too much to ask to have at least 3 megapixels with decent pic quality on your phone? Sony knows how to do it!
I also hate that there are no HSPDA 3G phones that work for both AT&T and TMo 3G data. What's the point of having unlocked phones if you can't do 3G on both networks?
For me the phone has to have great voice quality (Dash does) and let me type lots of large emails and notes quickly (Dash does). I really want it to sync with my mail server and browse Internet sites quickly (Dash doesn't) and take decent pics (Dash seriously doesn't). Being able to switch from AT&T 3G to TMo 3G would be really perfect.

I second this also i hope it has a scroll wheel or something like that.. and proper volume control otherwise im happy wit my excaliber

I got to say I'm pretty happy with my dash for now. So I figure by the time the dash 2 comes out, price drops a little ( under 400 bucks ) The masters of XDA come out with some sick tweaks and roms, then I'll get mine.

HTC Magic!

HTC Snap

Looks like the much needed update to the Excalibur, and it's actually going to be picked up by a carrier (most likely AT&T due to the 3G spectrum). It boasts a lot of improved features, it almost seems impossible to fit all of that into a phone that size.
http://i.gizmodo.com/5192944/htc-snap-looks-like-beautiful-black-berry-bold
I personally like it, it retains the beauty of the original phone that just wasn't captured with the Cavalier (read: the Cavalier is ugly).
And WinMo 6.1 to boot!

Wasnt this branded as the HTC Maple? I saw this on BGR's website too. Looks nice, but only a 2MP camera.

Yes, yes, this is old news, we have been talking about this phone for a while, it was called the HTC Maple, and I'm not surprised at them for changing the name. That doesn't mean it won't be called the Maple anymore, like the excalibur , dash , s620 , whatever they want to call it, depending on the carrier, will be the name it will have. But still old news. Just cause it has 3g doesn't mean ATT will be the only one to pick it up, everyone else is already running 3g(unless you're with a company that doesn't) TMO already with 3g and so is Sprint and Verizon.

Here are some more pics: http://mobilitysite.com/2009/04/hands-on-with-the-htc-snap/
Looks great, and can't wait to get my hands on it. I can see some potential problems brewing.... I manually lock my phone (hold the end call button), and looks like I wil be turning my phone off out of habit for awhile with the Snap.

dis phone is sexy

im freakin pumped man i want one of thses so bad

how much will it cost?

Perhaps it's just me, but is this phone anything more than a Dash with 6.1, 3G and a roller? I read somewhere that HTC plans to offer this phone unlocked and retail. I'm guessing that within a couple months of release, this will fall under the "free phone with contract" category.
I see no reason to get locked into a contact for this phone. My current contract is up in a few days (which means I've had my Dash for 2 years!). I'm going to wait for WM7 or until my Dash goes tits up, as the Dash (with Ricky and Stylez Rose 6.1) serves my current needs just fine. Don't get me wrong, looks great, but not really worthy of "OMG I GOTTA GET THAT ASAP!".

I sort of agree.

The more I see it the more I dislike it, I think it looks too much like a blackberry for my taste, and that phone should only be coming out with wm 6.5, not 6.1. Is not really that much of an upgrade if it will have the same stuff that I have on my dash right now. Anyways the way I see it I'm pointing on a different direction, for me it will be either a HTC Tilt(Kaiser) or a HTC touch pro (Fuze) next.

roloracer,
I was waiting for people to see this as peeps are now, it's an SPV c550 that's bit hit by a steam roler and had a little joysticky thing or whatever you want to call it.
I watched the vidoe that was posted and ended up looking @ the sea and the sky, did see a bit about a phone, but guess what bit i remember now? You got it the sky & the sand sea

That's funny that you say that If you look at an SPV c550 and imagine it being flatten up by a steam roler it would look like the maple , When I saw the video myself, found my eyes wondering around the room uncontrollably.

OP should make this a poll,
1. I want one
2. I stand patriotic
3. I think it looks like an spv c550 hit by a steam roller
