  1. I’ve been intrigued that the three of you have T-Mobile Dashes and rave about them. I am in the market for a new phone and thought a smartphone like the Dash of the Blackjack might do the trick. I wondered over to my local T-Mobile store to try out a Dash and to ATT/Congular to try a Blackjack.

    I found out that…I am all thumbs. I couldn’t type a short word without lots of typos. My thumbs just couldn’t hit the keys just right. Listening to Mark this morning I was quite jealous.

    I didn’t spend time checking out other features on the phones, even screen quality and usability as I couldn’t get by the thumbboards.

    In your travels have you found this to be a common complaint? Any tips, tricks, or workarounds you have found to make it possible to use the keyboards?

    My daughter has a Nokia E-61 and that is much easier for me to type on, although not completely foolproof.

    Mark – any pros/cons/points of comparison between the E61 and the Dash?

    TIA.

  2. James,

    What are you smoking?

    Didn’t you see the Dell M1710? Mine is fairly old (6 months), and it was $2700 with a Nvidia 7900.

    Sheesh.
