Feel free to list the pros and cons but also give your overall feeling. Overall I love it. Since I don't live in a 3g area but I do have wifi at work and home, it's perfect for me. Calls are clear. BT works great. Keyboard works great. Wifi is awesome. Plays videos without a hitch. I also use it as my mp3 player.

I feel that it is a little to thin and light for my liking....I'm going to get a good case to combat this.

Other than that I love everything else about it.

Best phone I have ever owned and I have owned lots of them.

I had it for the trial period after I sent my Blackberry 8700 through the washing machine by mistake. I ended up buying another 8700 before the trial period was over. I loved the wifi and formfactor, but for pure e-mail and BES sync, my Blackberry just couldn't be beat. The thing I missed most of all is the one handed one click functionality of the BB that the Dash didn't have. I did all the registy hacks and tweaks as well and I still found it very laggy, unresponsive and slow even after clearing running programs, over clocking, etc. Maybe next time.

I had a BB once. I have to agree that it was good at emails but that seemed to be about it. My dash is definitely faster, much better at media, has wifi, and the direct push with my exchange server has been excellent.

well i really liking my dash. this my first smartphone and i must say wow. im using the wifi like crazy, for everything from email,aim, and just plain surfing. ive found a good pocket video program to take my videos and put them on my dash. that makes my slow time at work alittle more interesting...so i guess im really happy..i think i can forget my regular phone days good bye...lol

After two weeks and the only smartphone I ever had, I can say it's been great so far. It is a great phone so far. The only issues I have so far with it are:
* edge connection drops off, meaning i lose my data connection some times and would need to go to the comm and disable/enable the phone.
* can run slow at times because i have too many things open, easily fixable by killing the apps using task manager. should be easier now that i installed facade.
* the keys were too close together, but nothing a little while getting used to can fix.

those are minor problems if you ask me. the thing a like about it is that it does the one thing i really buy a phone for: great and clear signal. everything else is a bonus.

Torn between it and my Nokia E70. Dash screen is better. Symbian UI is better. Over all, both do pretty much the same things.

Dash is the very best. More software support than BB. Treo's web browsers suck and no multitasking. $350 is a steal, most crappy phones are as or even more expensive.
