A few days ago we told you that the upcoming T-Mobile Dash 3G that is scheduled to launch this July and now it has been officially announced by T-Mobile. The Dash 3G, which is also made by HTC, is set to kick off the launch of a few 3G devices for T-Mobile this summer as it continues to expand its high-speed network. So far, it looks like the specs we gave you guys are spot-on: HSDPA, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, GPS, Microsoft Outlook sync and it all runs on the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform. We’re still sticking wi...

T-Mobile fans, we’ve got good news and bad news. The good news — internal training on HTC’s Dash 3G (Snap) and Touch Pro2 is set to kick off June 16th on the east coast. In other words, we’re likely very close to seeing both handsets get official. The bad news — training doesn’t wrap up until July 2nd in Baltimore/DC so the rumored July 1st release date for the Dash 3G is pretty much not going to happen. The rumored July 22nd launch for the Pro2 could be on the late side of...

According to an article published yesterday by GPS Business News, RIM may have quietly acquired struggling nav/LBS firm Dash Navigation. The site’s co-founder and Editor allegedly spoke to a trusted source who claims that the acquisition is a done deal. Dash, as we’re sure you’ll remember, was the maker of an awesome little connected nav unit that, well, no one bought. In November of last year, Dash laid off several staffers and announced it would cease production of its hardware solution, t...

Indeed, the color-refreshed T-Mobile Dash we scooped last month is now available for sale on the T-Mobile site. Just as we expected unfortunately, it’s just a Dash. That’s not to say this handset isn’t a decent choice for someone looking for a Windows Mobile with a full QWERTY keyboard of course, but we wanted more. We don’t need to go over the specs on this familiar HTC-built T-Mobile handset – the only change, after all, is the color. The only thing really worth highlighting is...

Thanks to one of our ninjas, we’ve just got a hold of a brand-new-looking T-Mobile Dash photo. Except, it’s in black, and sports subtle design changes like a different color combination on the keyboard, and…. stuff. We’re waiting for confirmation on whether this is just a color refresh (wouldn’t make sense this late in the product cycle) or if this unit has 3G added to it (think HTC S630, just cooler). What we have so far, is Windows Mobile 6 (available as an update on the origin...

Is today Black Tuesday? We don’t typically run deal news here on BGR but this morning we had info two pretty solid offers hit the old inbox and we wanted to let you guys know about them. First off, if a new GPS navigation unit is on your holiday list this year, waiting for Black Friday to roll around might not be the smart play. Today, for one day only, you can get the Dash Express GPS unit for $199.99 – a full $100 off the regular price. Sure, it’s not as sweet as getting one for free like ...

Richard! Congrats buddy, you’ll be dodging traffic and reading your friends’ tweets on the go (not while driving though, we hope) before you know it. Sorry for the delay in announcing the winner but things have been pretty busy here at BGR HQ. Don’t worry, we’ll have some exciting new stuff for you before you know it. In the meantime, a big thanks is in order to everyone who entered the contest and to Dash for showing BGR readers some well-deserved love. Congrats again to Richard to ev...

What? You thought we were done giving away shiny new gear just because the Bold giveaway is over? Not a chance. We’re busy deliberating and getting ready to announce the winner but that doesn’t mean we can’t hand out some more free goodies in the mean time. How does a brand spanking new Dash Express GPS sound? That’s right people, the first internet-connected GPS navigation unit in the US can be yours for the low low price of absolutely nothing. We’ve talked about the Dash Expres...

Dash Express users are about to receive a software update and it’s a doozy. For those of you in the market for a new GPS unit, take notice as this already-capable internet-connected portable unit from Dash gets some new functionality that makes navigation much more user friendly. First and foremost, the update process itself is noteworthy. Pulling your GPS unit from your car and connecting it to a computer is so last year. Simply connect the Dash Express to a WiFi network and the update will take place ...

The idea of a GPS device provider opening their API seems a bit odd at first. When you have as many developer customers as Dash however, opening your API is a great way to play to their geeky side. Beyond that Dash will now have a great (free) way to see how customers respond to different functionality added to their systems. Maybe they can start promoting certain apps on their site, maybe a few apps will even help shape future development; regardless, third-party contribution is most often a good thing. So i...
