I checked on the dash, and I was told that I couldn't have the t-zones service on it, instead I would have to pay a $20-$29 a month fee to use any internet features but I could log on from a wifi spot for free.

The reason I pay the t-zones fee is to be able to check my email from anywhere not just wifi spots. And I have to do that through the wap browser, because I can't use the google mobile app with t-mobile.

Are all cariers like this, or did I just choose the wrong one. T-Mobile is quickly loosing my business.......Maybe I am just cheap, but I feel like I am getting ripped for just checking email.]]>May 3rd 2007 4:52PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 3rd 2007 4:57PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 3rd 2007 5:10PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/
I can't get over the look of the phone though. It's not a brick, but it's funny looking to me... what do you think?]]>May 3rd 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 3rd 2007 11:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 4th 2007 5:26AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 4th 2007 8:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 4th 2007 9:24AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 4th 2007 12:44PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 7th 2007 9:02AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/
I used the voice dialer on Win 5.0 with great success. Granted you had to record a voice command but it worked quite well and also could be activated by the button on my Plantronics 510 bluetooth headset.

I have not been able to get Voice Command to work through this headset. Their are two issues.
1. I finally figured out that if you set the "Voice Button" in Voice Command setup to "App 4" you can activate the voice command by briefly pushing the power button, however I have not been able to figure out a way to activate Voice Command from my headset. This is a serious drawback. When your phone is in a case (example in your car when you are most likely to use hands free dialing) you have to remove it to activate Voice Command.
2. Once it is activated, the Voice Command must be done by speaking into the phone (headset still doesn't work) and all responses come from the speaker on the phone (not through headset). This makes voice dialing only slightly more safe in a car than just dialing the number.
Only after the call is initiated does the headset become operable.

If anyone out there has figured out a solution to these Voice Command issues please let me know.

This may not be an issue for most folks but if I could go back to Windows Mobile 5.0 with my reliable voice dialing I would.]]>May 7th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/
I always used my headset to activate my voice recognition using wm5. has anyone come up with the answer]]>May 28th 2007 3:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/
I, too was an avid fan of the SK series. I bought the dash before they released in October and I can't say enough about it. I absolutely LOVE this phone. I am a gadget person and I get bored easily especially with cellys but this baby truelly rocks. As far as your price concern, no biggie it's worth it. I was concerned too but didn't really notice a huge price difference when I got my bill. It takes some getting use to the Dash but man, I don't miss having the flip. I'm still in awe how thin and small it is.]]>May 10th 2007 6:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/May 13th 2007 5:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/03/hands-on-with-t-mobiles-wm6-ified-dash/
You need to do a registry edit to get it to work with your BT.

Change this registry entry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule

Replace the default string value with
\Windows\vcbthag.dll

Thanks!

Data transfer is quick but I'm not too impressed with the Interenet. All in all, I'd give this a 9 out of 10 due to the volume keys.

Can you use headphones for music? This bug is driving me crazy, if anybody knows how to fix it I'd appreciate the info!
