Hands On: T-Mobile Dash With Windows Mobile 6 Standard

Now that we know the official update to Windows Mobile 6 Standard for the T-Mobile Dash will be coming this year, I didn’t want to hold out on you guys any longer. Watch as we take you through the new OS, but this time it’s on the Dash baby! I was a little disappointed with Windows Mobile 6 though, it really is more of an update than a new OS. Some of the features are cool, sure — HTML email, wait, what else is there? It just seems like a theme on the regular Windows Mobile 5 OS to me. It does make up for that in some parts because the OS is super speedy and the sounds are cool. Click on for the rest of the shots!

    The JOGGR is just like the HTC S620, and the hack that was posted effectively making the volume up/down strip the same as the OEM one (Back, up/down, mail).
    ROM. Will check on cut and paste, not sure.

    Is it a very noticeable speed increase running Windows Mobile 6?

    Hopefully this will be an upgrade in April, my Dash OS runs very slow.
